one cake Of Cuticura Soap and one

my disease. I was very much trou-

friend of mine told me to use the
Cdticura Remedies, which I did, and
am glad to say that they cured my
eczema entirely. Since then we have
always kept the soap on hand at all

WHERE APPLES ARE GROWN.
North America the Great Producing
Region of the World.

The area of the world devoted to
apple raising in the northern hemi-
sphere extends from Scandinavia on
the north to the mountain regions of
North Carolina and Tennessee on the
south. In the southern hemisphere
apples are raised in New Zealand and
Tasmania, but little success has been
obtained in Australia, Africa or South
America North America is the great
apple-producing region of the world
and New York leads all the other
states in the quantity grown, although
there are many choice varieties pro-
duced in other states, particularly
Missouri, Oregon and Washington.
The soil and climate conditions must
combine to produce the finest fruit.
The annual aggregate product of the
world is estimated at 100,000,000 bar
rails, but not all of this is gathered, for
in seasons when the production is
plentiful large quantities are fed to
cattle or allowed to rot on the ground,
and every season millions of bushels
of the less choice varieties and the
poorer fruit from the best trees are
turned into cider, which is used as a
beverage and for making vinegar and
apple brandy.

be written up in detail in their books
during the voyage, and this takes
more time than the actual sorting. The

1t was little after one o'clock
when the outgoing and incoming
presidents, arm in arm, entered the
capitol, proceeding immediately to
the presidents room, whence they
emerged in few minutes preceded
by the marshal of the district, judges
of the supreme court, and sergeant

diplomatic corps, heads of depart
ments, governors of states and others,
and made their way to small

small reading table provided for him
on which to deposit his hat, handed
it over to his mighty rival, who held

Mr.. Lincoln's voice was clear and

far and near among the assembled
multitudes, which preserved unbroken
silence from the beginning to the end.

Gossip.

A movement Is on foot to form a
rowing association to be known as the
Central States Rowing association.
The promoters have already secured
the membership of Chicago, Peoria,
Quincy, Hannibal, Keokuk and Bur-
lington. The organization has been
completed by the election of G. L.
Hermsdorfer of Quincy, ILL.,, as presi.
dent, and the headquarters will be in
that city. 1t is proposed to revive
the old spirit of rowing that formerly
existed in the river valley. The Up
per Mississippi Valley Rowing associ'
alton was productive of much pleas.
ure and profit to the members, but
the interest died out in time, and
nothing has since been done in the
way of aquatic sports on the upper
river, outside of purely local boating
events. Since then many clubs have
been formed for water pastimes, and
numerous swift sail boats ply the
river at every point. Motor boats are
also growing in number and this in
crease in the use of the river for
pastime has aroused again the old
spirit that pervaded the rowing asso-
citation, and there is little doubt that
the new organization will become an
important and permanent adjunct -
the outdoor life of the people of this
upper river. When the proposed wa
ter power dam at Keokuk, Ia, is con.
structed it will raise the level of the
river nearly 40 feet at that point, and
will consequently back up the river
to a point about one mile north of
Burlington This will form an inn
mense lake "A miles long and several
miles wide in some places. This will
be one of the finest bodies of water in
the upper valley, and will be most adj
mirable for boating and rowing. 1t is
believed the region will partake much
of the nature of watering resort
and will attract thousands of summer
visitors. In this case the proposed
rowing association will be one of the
most popular and important organiza-
lions for outdoor sport in the west.
