THOUGHT CHILD WOULD DIE.
Whole Body Covered with Cuban itch
---cutlcura Remedies Cured at Cost
OF seventy-Five Cents.

my little boy, when only an infant
OF three months, caught the Cuban
Itch. Sores broke out from his head
to the bottom of his feet. He would
itch and claw himself and cry all the
'xs3rle. He could not sleep day or night,
and light dress is all he could wear.
| called one Of our best doctors to
treat him, but he seemed to get worse.
He suffered so terribly that my hus-
band said he believed he would have
to die. / had almost given up hope
when a lady friend told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. l used the Cuti-
cura Soap and applied the Cutieura
Ointment and he a. once fell into
sleep, and he slept with ease for the
first time since two months After
three applications the sores began to
dry up, and in just two weeks from the
day / commenced to use the Cuticura
Remedies my baby was entirely well.
The treatment only cost me 75c, and
would have gladly paid 500 if | could
not have got it cheaper. ] feel safe in
saying that the Cuticura Remedies
saved his life. He is now boy of five
years. Mrs. Zana Miller, Union City,

scandinavian, German, Italian--hut

pace. Along came strapping Irish

lmportanee Of eood Roads.

The town that has good roads lead
ing to it is blessed. Surely there is
no more disagreeable thing, nor any
thing more adverse to the business
interests Of place than impossible
boggy roads. There is a little excuse
in the well settled community for poor
roads. 1t may in the beginning be
somewhat expensive to put the roads
in order, but in the end it will prove
that the saving in wear and tear on
wagons and horses will well repay all
the additional expense. And to the
town good roads are almost vital. The
average farmer would rather drive
three or four miles farther to a town
over good roads than DO his trading
when It is necessary to go hub deep in
mud to the nearer place.

The editor Of the paper at Coyle.
Okla, asks in large letters, who
makes the town." To make a town
requires the work Of many people. 1t
IL surely not the man who earns his
wages in the town and then spends
his earnings elsewhere; not the farm
er who sells his produce to the home
merchant and then takes the money
to the, express or post Office and sends
It to the Chicago mail order house
for the goods he needs; nor the minis
ter who is paid for preaching by the
business interests Of the place, and
spends his spare time in working up
grocery clubs for an outside concern.
No, brother, these men 40 not make

Inlurv from Mosoultoes.

New Jersey has many places ideal
in situation and accessibility, and one
such place developed rapidly to GER
tain point and there it Stood halted
by the mosquitoes that bred in the
surrounding marsh lands. Country
club, golf, tennis and other attrac-
tions ceased to attract when attention
was necessarily focused on the biting
or stinging pests that intruded every
where, and the tendency was to sell
out. But the owners were not ready
to quit without a fight, and an i'm
provement society was formed which
consulted with my office and followed
my advice. In one year the bulk OF
the breeding area was drained, mos

most entirely; one gentleman, not
large owner either, told me his prop

and new settlers began to come in.
This year one of the worst breeding
areas of the olden day was used as
a camping gorund, and 100 new resi-
dences are planned for next year.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality Of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because Of its great
er strength than other makes.

feet and untiring Englishman has ex-
ploded all their theories about vege

tests. Sbrubb eats meat three times a
day. Just before Shrubb arrived in
New York Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale
had an article in the Yale Medical
Journal on 1.-The Influence of Flesh
Eating on Endurance" 1t was
strong argument for abstinence,
and told of tests made at New Haven.
Endurance tests were made on forty

customed 10 non-hesh dietary There
was group also including sendentary
persons accustomed to n low proteid
and non-Aesh dietary.
The experiment proved that the non
flesh eaters had far greater endurance
than those who are accustomed to
the ordinary American diet. In the
absence of any exact mechanical
method OF measuring endurance. three
simple endurance tests were employed

Then came Shrubb. This little
