II every young man Of this vicinity
who smokes cigarettes will resolve this
day to forsake them forever and ever
ard resolutely keep his resolve he will
live TO consider 1905 as a year in which

men Of middle age smoke cigarettes,
and it Is personal privilege which
none can question except when their
habit is made obnoxionsly offensive to
Others, but there are few Of these who
are particularly proud Of the fact that
they smoke, and II is doubtful If one
of them would advise boy to begin
smoking cigarettes. No man in bust
ness wants the young man who smokes
cigarettes, and the average young man
will in the end lind out that cigarette
smoking is not profitable In his own
business. Any boy can resolve to "cut

WONDERFUL CURE BY
 CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Last year at this time 1 suffered with q tremendous itching on my back, which grew worse and worse, un- til it spread over the whole body, and only my face and hands were free. For four months or so l suffered the torments of the damned, and had to scratch, scratch, scratch, until l bled. At night when l went to bed things got worse, and I had at times to get up and scratch my body all over, until 1 was as sore as could be, and until l suffered excruciating pains. I did not know what it was, and resorted t) a number of blood purifiers, using at times also Cuticura Soap. They told me then that 1 was suffering from eczema. Then l made up my mind that l would also use Cuticura Oint- ment and Cuticura Rcsolvent. I used them according to instructions, and very soon indeed 1 was greatly relieved. l continued until well, and now 1 am ready to recommend the CutiCura Rem edies to any one who suffers as did your obedient servant.

Amnesia, or loss of memory, is chiefly Interesting to the psychologists as throwing some light on the nature of memory itself. A perfect act of mem ory consists of three distinct acts-pres ervatiOn or fiNaton of certain states of the nerve cells, reproduction of these and, perhaps most remarkable of all recognition of them as reproductions in their relations. Morbid states of the memory may refer to any of these phases of an act which is as marvellous as anything in nature. There are about 3,OOOOOO,OOO nerve cells in the sur face of the human brain. They never die in health, and they are never re. placed or added to. This is memory s machine.

It may be a surprise to many to learn that a severe cold can be completely broken up in one or two days time. To do this however, prompt action Is necessary. The first symptoms ot a cold are dry, loud cough, a protuse watery discharge from the nose, and a thin, white coating on the tongue. When Cham mberlain's cough remedy y is taken every hour on the first appear of these symptoms, it cOunteracts the effect Of the cold and restores the sys- tenn to healthy condition within a day or two.

The nI1ettnnte Society.

An interesting old organization which formerly existed in London-the Dilet- tante society-originated with certain gentlemen who, having travelled in Italy, tried to encourage at home what they had enjoyed abroad. This society of lovers of the fine arts lasted 130 years. Walpole does not seem to have looked upon 1t with a very favorable eye, for he says, "The nominal qualiti- cation was to have been to Italy; the real one was being drunk"
