MY wife had eczema for five or six
years. 1t was on her face and would
come and go. We thought we would
give the Cuticura Remedies a trial. We
did so and she has never had a sign of
eczema for four years. l myself used
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment
some time ago for falling hair. | now
have very heavy head of hair. We
used Cuticura Remedies for our baby
who was nearly bald when young. She
has very nice hair now. She is very
feshy, and we had SO much trouble
with heat that We would bathe her
with Cuticura Soap and then apply
Cuticura Ointment, it would dry the
heat up SO much quicker than any
thing else. Mr.. II. B. Springmire, 1928

a herd of 20 pet deer. made no pro
vision when he died for the care of
the animals His heirs since have
permitted the deer to run at large and
to make their own living They have
multiplied rapidly and the herd now
numbers 100. 1t is now common
sight in Shelby to see deer grazing on
the commons and strolling lesurely
about the streets, attracting the at
tention of strangers by their graceful
antics, Eut the people of shelby and
vicinity have ceased to look with
favor upon the graceful and fleet
footed animals, They complain that
the deer raid their orchards and gar
dens in the summer and their straw
stacks in the winter.
The law forbids the killing of the
animals and all the indignant farmers
and househoIderS can do is to shoe,
them off their grounds 1t is said to
be the purpose of people living here
to petition the legislature either to
permit the slaughter of the animals
or to make some other disposition @:
them. as they allege that in their pres
ent protected and prolific state they

the courts this week. The plaintiff
is a fuli-srown man. NJ. Winkel. How
could a child of three years have

riddle is thar plaintiff alleges that he
was assaulted by man of about his
own age, named Tolut. and he took
ont u summons against Georges To

three. and the father, whom plaintiff
really intended To prosecute. is Albert

was sentenced By default and the
conviction stands against him. The
