NO REST NIGHT OR DAY.
With Irritating Skin Humor-Aalr
Began to Fall Out-Wonderful Re-
suit from Cuticura Remedies.

about the latter part of July my
whole body began to itch. I did not
take much notice of it at first, but 1t
began to get worse all the time, and
then l began to get uneasy and tried
all kinds of baths and other remedies
that were recommended for skin hum
ors; but became worse all the time.
My hair began to fall out and my
scalp itched all the time. Especially
at night, just as soon as l would get
in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger
nails would keep it irritated, and 1t
was not long before | could not rest
night or day. A friend asked me
to try the Cuticura Remedies. and
did. and the first application helped
me wonderfully. For about four
weeks l would take hot bath every
night and then apply the Cuticura
Ointment to my whole body; and
kept getting better, and by the time
l used four boxes of Cutioura l was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out. D. E. Blankenship, 319

What tie MOST Wished Eor.

John Fiske, the American historian,
was an ardent lover of music and him
self no mean musician. Furthermore,
he was extremely corpulent and felt
the hot weather painfully. He was
once delivering course of lectures at
q summer school in small city of the
middle west. The heat was terrific
and adjoining the house where the
lecturer stayed was church where
an Unmatched but jealous quartet"
practiced and performed during all
hours OF the torrid afternoons and
evenings. One evening, seeing the fa-
nous man sit for time unoccupied
and apparently oppressed by this COM
bined affection. the young daughter of
his hostess attempted to divert him by
Offering him a new novel, then just be-
coming popular. Il think The Choir
Invisible Is perfectly splendid, Mr.
Fiske," said She "Wouldn you like
to read it?" The historian put the
book aside. my dear young lady,"
said he. 1.-The only choir in the world
in which / could feel any interest at
this moment would be the choir In

at the toes, then the wooden shoes
of the ninth and tenth centuries, fol-

long pointed and turned-up toes,
which sometimes reached as high as
the knee. Later shoe was worn
