FURIOUS HUMoR ON CHILD.
Itching, Bleeding Sores Covered Body
Nothing Helped Her-cuticura
Cures Her in Five Days.

after my granddaughter Of about
seven years had been cured of the
measles, she was attacked about a
fortnight later by furious itching and
painful eruption all over her body,
especially the upper part of it, forming
watery and bleeding sores, especially
under the arms, of considerable size.
She suffered great deal and for three
weeks we nursed her every night,
using all the remedies we could think
OF. Nothing would help. We tried the
Cuticura Remedies and after twenty
four hours we noted considerable i'm
provement, and after using only one
complete set of the Cuticura Remedies,
in five consecutive days the little one,
much to our Joy. had been entirely
cured, and has been we'll for a long
time. Mrs. F. Ruefenacht, R. F. D. No

PROVIDENCE WAS mt.
Fortunate Meeting Surely Brought
About by Hand Of Fate.

A farmerish-lookin man shared my
seat on the train as / was travelling
through Indiana, and after we had
been talking for couple of hours a
very communicating woman got on at
a station. saw the man look very
hard at her, and directly after she had
taken seat he rose up and said:
Excuse me, stranger, but l think
used to know that woman, and I'll go
over and see her.
He was gone about an hour, and
had forgotten all about him when he
returned to say:

HAD A FELLOW FEELING.
Aunt Susan's Heart Went Out to
"Pore Missus Astor."

Uncle Eli felt he knew the metropo-
lis pretty well. Had he not been there
three times in four years-and twice
he had ridden on the elevated. So
when he brought Aunt Susan with
him Con the fourth trip he naturally
assumed the role of guide.
She marveled at everything until
they sat down for luncheon. They
had gone into the Astor house for that
meal, but all its other marvels seemed
lost on the visiting country hostess, as
she looked open-eyed at the crowds
that filed not only the corridors but
the restaurants. Scarcely had they
found seats, when this amazement
took definite shape.

HOME MADE REMEDY
INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PRE-.
PARED BY ANYONE.
10 Said to Promptly Relieve Backache
and Overcome Kidney Trouble and
Bladder Weakness Though Harm
less and Pleasant to Take.

What will appear very interesting
to many people here is the article
taken from New York daily paper,
giving simple prescription, as formu-
lated by noted authority, who claims
that he has found a positive rem
edy to cure almost any case of back
ache or kidney or bladder derange-
ment. in the following simple prescrip-
ton, If taken before the stage Of
Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated
that the ingredients are all harmless,
and can be obtained at a small cost
from any good prescription pharmacy,
or the mixture would be put up if
asked to do so. He further stated that
while this prescription is often pre-
scribed In rheumatic Affections with
splendid results, he could see no rea-
son why it would not be a splendid
remedy for kidney and urinary trou-
bles and backache, as it has peculiar
action upon the kidney structure,
cleansing these most important Or
gans and helping them to sift and
filter from the blood the foul acids
and waste matter which cause sick
ness and suffering. Those who suffer
can make no mistake in giving it a
trial

When the Orator SCARED.

In the course Of an address extolling
the virtues of the medical profession,
DR.. L. B. MeBrayer OF Asheville, N. c.,
used the following characteristic
southern language:
Gould borrow from the sun his
CHEEKY smile, from the moon her
golden beams of light, from the south
ern zephyrs their softness, from the
rose its fragrance. from the rainbow
its celestial beauty, from the babbling
brook its laughter and song, from the
sea its awe and wonder, from the val
ley its serenity. and from the noun
tains their majesty and put these
down upon piece Of azure blue sky,
with comets for commas and planets
for periods, might then paint for you
what the practice of medicine is like"
The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great Inn
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new.
Sore disappointment OF to-day often
prove the grand blessings of to-mor-
row.-Faber.
