AWFUL ITCHING
BURNING SPOTS
Formed on Legs and Exuded aWatery
Matter Then Spread to Arms
Kept Ankles Bandaged Over Year
Until Skin Was Made Smooth and
TORMENT WAS STOPPED
IN 3 DAYS BY CUTICURA

"In December 1905 I had a blood-red
spot about as large as a nickel come on
my left shin about three inches above
the ankle and in about two weeks the same
kind Of a spot came on the right shin.
I did not know but it was poison from
some black stockings but my wife said it
could not be for she had washed them
thoroughly twice. The spots spread
until they were some two inches across.
Then my shins and under my ankle
bones commenced to break out in a fine
rash which extended about halfway to my
knees. The burning and itching were
something terrible and later the rash
began to exude q watery matter. FL
nally it went to my elbows and above
and below them. I doctored with
two doctors but it did no good. I kept
my ankles bandaged for over a year.
One day a friend Of mine said he believed
the Cuticura Remedies would help me.
I sent for them and in three days after
using the Cuticura Remedies there was
q complete change. The skin cleared up
smooth and the itching stopped I am
still using the Cuticura Remedies for,
once q week or so, some little spot will
break out in q fine rash and commence
to itch. But washing with Cuticura
Soap and putting on Cuticura Ointment
drives it all away. I am seventy-one
years old to-day. Geo. n. Westcott, Post
master, Ceylon. N. Y, Apr. %. 1907"

Novelist.

" E Americans are fearless, but n we fearless enough
Aren't we afraid of SOMETHING after ala
Nv Are we not afraid of ourselves, Of each other2 How
few OF Is dare to live out our primitive instincts, to
test the TRUE IDEALS of life. 1t seems to me that
to find the supreme laws, the big statutes of the moral code-that is
to say, the spiritual order of our lives-we must test the VALIDITY
OF CONVENTIONS. As a matter Of fact we are actually afraid of
being without them, we cling to them like life belts in the big sea of
experience, instead of striking out and learning to swim FOR DUR
SELVES, to make our bodies work for the spirit.
These supreme laws Ire courage, faith in the great spirit that can
90 no evil, endurance to suffer, realizing that the light of the spirit is
discovered only when it is most needed, IN DARKNESS. 1t is very
sad that we must suffer so much to arrive at spiritual knowledge, but
1t does not last. We must not evade any shadow of experience, even
the vague panic of the senses, for when W e are confronted with awe
pf something we do not understand it leaves us in a RICHER STATE
OF KNOWLEDGE.
Sincerity Is one of the principles of poetry. It is one Of the great
laws that ~OVERSHADOW THE CONVENTIONS. We have
tenderness in our poetry, national pride, abstract philosophy, but we
seem to be afraid Of saying boldly, Of seeing wildly, of defying the
primitive instinct to disgrace the supreme spiritual purpose Of our
being.
Temptation is excused sometimes on the ground Of heredity,
whereas it is an INITIAL INGREDIENT Of human nature. As a
friend Of mine said, expressing this idea Of conventional hindrances to
actual experience, 1--WE all want a smattering Of knowledge, we are all
peeping on the sly at this, that and the other, trying to get a view Of
the REAL NWARDNESS Of things, and after all perhaps it is
better to look through these ~peepholes and see what we can than to sec
nothing at ALL"
The poet sees more than others, but there is a great deal in the
Intangible power, as children look into a great deep we'll, with the wv
of child wonder and mystery. They read in the Bible, "God is a con-
Stunning fire." and they SHRINK IN FEAR.
TO ME- THAT Is A MAGNIFICENT SPIRITUAL SYMBOL. Is, II,
THE WARMTH AND LIGHT AND LOVE AND PITY OF EVERY Hv.
MAN SPIRIT. -~-~~

New York to Become a Desert.

Of he Adirondack
r EW YORK STATE FINALLY WILL BECOME As BARREN
As THE DESERT OF SAHARA UNLESS SOMETHING -
DONE TO PUT AN END TO THE sPoLiATioN OF THE
FORESTS AND STREAMS.
Today her forests are practically limited to the Adirondacks and
Catskll mountains. Climatic conditions have changed noticeably
where this denudaalon has taken place. Streams have dried up entirely
or become and UNRELIABLE for industrial pur-
poses. These conditions are now beginning to arise in the region
tributary to the Adirondacks, and if a halt is not made and vigorous
efforts put forth to retrieve the indiscretions of the past New York
state will become AS BARREN AS THE DESERT OF SA-
HARA, her farms will be ruined, her mountains will be naked of
trees and soil, her rivers will disappear IS rivers and become mere
troughs for carrying off the rainfall of each passing shower.
It is therefore the present duty of the people of New York to do
three things: First, to protect lNVIOlATE every acr and tree
that we now have in the forest preserve; second, to extend as rapidly
as possible the ares of this preserve, and third, to REPIANT as
rapidly as possible the denuded areas.

The Seasons Crop Outlook.
BY JAMES WILSON,. Secretary Of Agriculture.

BY JAMES WILSON. Secretary II Agriculture.
EEDING has been a little backward on account of the cold
weather, but there is plenty Of time between now and the last
of September to grow a crop of ALL KINDS of grain. In
Minnesota and the Dakotas, where we raise most of our spring
wheat, seeding was delayed about two weeks.
While the weather has been unseasonablv cold in some grain e
gions, still it has not been severe enough to retard blowing, and nv
