DIsFIGURING SKIN HUMoR.
Impossible to Get Employment, as

Face and Body Were Covered with
Sores-Cured by Cuticura.
''Since the year 1894 | have been
troubled with a very bad case of
eczema which l have spent hundreds
of dollars trying to cure, and | went
to the hospital, but they failed to cure
me, and it was getting worse all the
time. Five weeks ago my wife bought
a box of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of Cuticura Soap, and am
pleased to say that | am now COM
pletely cured and well. 1t was impos-
sible for me to get employment, as my
face, head and body were covered with
it. The eczema first appeared on the
top of my head and it had worked all
the way around down the back of my
neck and around to my throat, down
my body and around the hips. 1t itched
so l would be obliged to scratch it,
and the flesh was raw. l am now all
we'll, and l will be pleased to recon-
mend the Cuticura Remedies to all per-
sons who wish speedy and perma-
nent cure of skin diseases. Thomas

STRANGE AND MOTLEY CRAFT.
Grand China Canal Navigated by Great
est Variety of Craft on Earth.

1.-THE Grand Canal of China" an inter-
esting article in the December Technical
World Magazine, describes the oldest
and strangest artificial waterway in the
world.
almost twice the length of the Erie
canal, or about 700 miles, the Grand
canal of China is by far the
longest artificial waterway in the
world. 1t passes through one of the
most thickly' populated sections of the
globe; and the variety of craft which
navigate it's waters is the most wonderful
on earth. Large Chinese junks, with
wide-spreading sails, alternate with little
canoes sculled by man standing in the
stern; barges laden with every kind of
merchandise drag their tedious journey
past small slipper-shaped craft used as
dispatch boats, which can go everywhere,
so little water do they draw; there are
boats with paddle wheels at the side
turned by coolies who work within-a
half dozen, or so on each vessel; boats
owned by beggars, who sail through the
canal from one town to another, anchor
ing in the channel while they go ashore
to ply their mendicant trade; and boats
filled with lepers being transported to
some colony of their kind"

If her system is in deranged condi-
ton, or she is predisposed to apoplexy
or congestion of any organ, it is at this
time likely to become active and, with
a host of nervous irritationS, make life
a burden.
At this time, also, cancers and tumorS
are more liable to begin their destruc-
tive work. Such warning symptoms as
a sense of suffocation, hot flashes, dir
ziness, headache, dread of impending
evil, sounds in the ears, timidity, pal
pitation of the heart, sparks before the
eyes, Irregularities, constipation, varia-
BILE appetite, weakness and inquietudo
are promptly needed by intelligent
women who are approaching the period
of life when woman's great change
may be expected.
We believe Lydia e. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound is the worlds great
est remedy for women at this trying
period.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound invigorates and strengthens the
female organism, and builds up the
weakened nervous system as no other
medicine can.
Mrs. A. E. G. Hyland, of Chester
town, Md, in letter to Mrs. Pink
ham, says:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
g. had been suffering with a displacement
for years and was passing through the change
of life. l had good deal Of soreness, dizzy
spells, headaches, and was very nervous
wrote you for advice and commenced treat
ment with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound as you directed, and l am happy
to say that all those distressing symptoms left
me, and 1 have passed safely through the
change OF life well woman"
For special advice regarding this inn.
portant period women are invited to-
write to Mrs Pinkham, Lynn, Mass
She is daughter n-law of Lydia E..
Pinkham and for twenty five years has
been advising sick women free Of
charge. Her advice is free and always
helpful to ailing women.

THREE TINES THREE 1 THIRTY.
When Three Tomato Plants Grow Three
Months in California.

The largest tomato plants in the world
are found in California. One grower has
three plants which have reached a
length of thirty feet.
In three months from the time the
seeds were planted, says What to Eat,
they had climbed to the top of twenty
foot trellis. When they reached this re-
markable height they grew backward
until they attained length of thirty
feet.
they have no special care or cultiva-
ton and have had no protection from
the weather; yet in spite of every disad
vantage they kept on growing and fruit
ing in the most astonishing fashion.
The trunks are one and a half inches
in diameter, the foliage thick. and lux
uriant. Enormous quantities of tomatoes
have been picked from these three plants,
and the fruit is of unusual size, posses
sing fine flavor.
