ITCHING SCALP
Eczema Broke Out Also on Hands
and Limbs Suffering Intense
Doctors Said Too Old to Be
Cured An Old Soldier Of 80
Years Declares:
."CUTlCURA TREATMENT
is A BLESSING"

AT all times and to all people I am
willing to testify to the merits of Gu
ticura. It saved me from worse than
the tortures OF shades, about the year
1900, with itching on my scalp and
to break out on my hands. Then it
broke out on my limbs. | was advised
to use salt and water, which I did, to
no effect I then went to Surgeon, who
commenced treating me with wash OF
borax. This treatment did me no good,
but rather aggravated the disease. l
then told him I would 60 and see ply
stefan in Erie. The reply was that
could 80 anywhere, but case Of
eczema like mine could not be cured;
that was too old (80). I went to an
eminent doctor in the city of Erie and
treated with him for six months, with
like results. I had read Of the Gu
ticura Remedies often. / was strongly
tempted to give them a trial, so sent
for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and
Resolvent and continued taking the
Resolvent until I had taken six bottles,
stopping it to take the Pills. was now
getting better. took two baths day,
and at night let the lather Of the Soap
dry on. used the Ointment with
great effect after washing in warm
water, to stop the itching at once. /
am now cured.
"The Cuticura treatment Is blessing
and should be used by every one who
has itching Of the skin. can't say any
more, and thank God that He has given
the world such a curative: You can

SPRINGS A CHINESE Joke

Special to The Herald
WASHINGTON, May 21. = Persons
who believe that Cinnamon have no
sense of fun are invited to pay atten-
tion to this story
About a month ago one of the leading
secretaries of the Chinese embassy ac-
companied a crowd of the legation
people.to the roller skating at a morn
ing session.
A number of the young attaches OF
other Legations begged him to put a
pair of skates on and have a try at the
American sport. He did and fell down.
The Chinaman practiced roller skat-
ing six hours that day. six hours the
next day, six the day after that and
every day for three weeks. He did so
in secret.
One morning the Chinese secretary
invited his chief, the Chinese ambassa-
dor, and all of the members of the Chi
nese official suite to accompany him to
the roller rink for the morning session.
The instructor gave the man running
the big orchestrion signal and the or
chestra struck into a swinging Wald-
teufel waltz.
Then the Chinese secretary and thev
instructor. holding each other by the
hands and facing each other at arms
length, shot into the middle of the floor
and began to execute an extremely
graceful roller skating waltz. The jaws
of the watching legation people fell and
they were struck dumb at the sight
The Chinaman and his instructor
waltzed gayly about the immense floor
space for a few minutes, reversing at
will and doing all the other position
changing stunts of the roller waltz,
when with a mighty shove the in
structor pushed the calm looking secre-
tary into the middle of the floor. The
legation people, huddled together to
watch the fun that didn't eventuate,
were amazed 10 note that the ChinamaTi
was spinning all that long distance to
the center of the slipperyUftoor on one
skate. while he held the other foot
up under the shelter of his robe
The legation people huddled at the
far end of the rink and looked chap
fallen, but when their first amazement
was over they showed that they were
fair by.surrounding the Chinese secre-
tary ana overwhelming him with con-
gratulations.
THE joke is on u.s. they all told him.
superhuously.
