all parts of the country by women who
have been cured, trained nurses who
have witnessed cures and physicians
who have recognized the virtue of

credit where it is due.

get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and
other remedies that were recommended
for skin humors, but l 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 it was not long be-
fore l could not rest night or day. A
friend asked me to try the Cuticura Rene
dies, and L did, and the first application
helped me wonderfully. For about four
weeks | would take a hot bath every night
and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to

The remedy is obvious. The drug caf-

must be discontinued absolutely or the

WEIGHT OF EGGS REGULATED.
Two Ounces Apiece Fixed as Standard
by Iowa Legislature.

Des Moines, Iowa.-Hens in Iowa
are hereafter expected to lay their eggs
in uniform weight of two ounces each,
for the Legislature has just passed a
new Weights and Measures law which
includes this important Iowa product.
1t provides that the standard weight of
one dozen eggs shall be twenty-four
ounces. and permits merchants to sell
them by weight should they desire and
the purchaser be willing to accept this
method. No means of compromise is
suggested in case twelve eggs over
weigh the standard fixed.
The new law gives standard weight
to seventy articles, some of which
never before had official weight in
Iowa. These are beets, alfalfa, pea
nuts and canary seed.
