state of affairs is the natural out
growth Of long years of neglect and
sliDshod farming encouraged by a year

the landlord squeezes the renter, the
renter skins the landlord, with the re-
suit that there is very real agricul-

fouled land and depleted soil fertility.

CUTlCURA SOAP AND
 CUTICURA OINTMENT

"For a long time I suffered with sores on the hands which were itching, painful. and disagreeable. 1 had three doctors and derived no benefit from any of them. One doctor said he was afraid to touch my hands, so you must know how bad they were; an- other said l never could be cured; and the third said the sores were caused by the dipping of my hands in water in the dye-hOuse where l work. I saw in the papers about the wonderful cures of the Cuticura Remedies and procured some of the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. In three days after the application of the Cuticura Ointment my hands began to peel and were better. The sore ness disappeared, and they are now smooth and clean, and 1 am still working in the dye-house.
 "I strongly recommend Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment to any one with sore hands, and 1 hope that this letter will be the means of help ing other sufferers. Very truly yours, Mrs. A. r. Maurer, 2340 State St., Chicago, H., July 1, 19O5."
