FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery II Years-Eczema in
Rough Scales, Itching and In
fIamed-Cured by Cuticura.

Il wish to inform you that your
wonderful Cuticura has put stop to
twelve years of misery 1 passed with
my son. AS an infant I noticed on
his body u red spot and treated same
with different remedies for about five
years, but when the spot began to
get larger l put him under the care
of doctors. Under their treatment the
disease spread to four different parts
of his body. The longer the doctors
treated him the worse it became. Dur
ing the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would
be cracked, infiamed, and badly swol-
len, with terrible burning and itch
ing. When l think of his suffering,
it nearly breaks my heart. His
screams could be heard downstairs.
The suffering of my son made me
full of misery. l had no ambition to
work, TO eat, nor could l sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons
eczema Was incurable, and gave it up
for bad job. One evening saw an
article in the paper about the wonder
full Cuticu"a and decided to give it a
trial. tell you that Cuticura Ointment
is worth its weight in gold, and when
l had used the first box of Ointment
there was a great Improvement. and
by the time l had used the second set
of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my
child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine
and smooth as silk. Michael Stein

MOUNTAIN GUIDES FAIL HER.
Miss Peck Will Make Another Attempt
Upon the Highest Andean Peak.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleas
ure is climbing mountains, has re-
turned to New York from Peru, beaten
in her attempt to climb the highest
of the Andes, beaten not by the noun
tain itself. but the worthlessness of
the men she employed as guides and
porters on the expedition. She is con-
WINGED that she would have reached
the summit but for the faults of her
men and says she is going back with
Swiss mountain men TO make another
attempt.
AS it was she reached a height of
$4,000 feet, being then about 1000 feet
above the summit. This was at her
first attempt. One of her men deserted
and the rest got drunk on the alcohol
which was carried as fuel for cook
ing. Besides they were all afraid of
the trip and especially as they APP
preached the top of the mountain, of
which they have a superstitious dread.
The second attempt was like the
first. except that the men gave out
sooner and SO less progress was made
before the attempt had to be aband

NERVOUS HEADACHES
DR.. Williams Pink Pills Will Cure
Most Gases and Should Interest
Every Sufferer

Nobody who has not endured the
suffering caused by nervous head
ache can realize the awful agony of
its victims. Worst Of all, the ordin-
airy treatment cannot be relied upon
to cure nor even to give relief. Some
doctors will say that if a persC.i is
subject to these headaches there is
nothing that can be done TO prevent
their recurrence.
Nervous headaches, as well as neu-
ralgia, are caused by lack of nutrition
the nerves are starved. The only
way to feed the nerves is through the
blood and it is in this way that Dr..
Williams Pink Pills have accom-
plished SO many remarkable cures.
Mrs. Addie Merrill, of SO Union
Street, Auburn, Me-, says: For
years l suffered from nervous mead
aches, which would come on me every
five or six weeks and continue for
several days. The pain was so severe
that l would be obliged to go to bed
for three or four days each time. 1t
was particularly intense over my right
eye. l tried medicines but got no re-
lief. l had no appetite and when
the headache passed away I felt as if
1 had been sick for a month. My
blood was thin and I was pale, weak
and reduced in weight.
Il read about Dr. Williams Pink
Pills in paper and decided to try
them. l first noticed that they be-
gan to give me an appetite and l
commenced to gain in weight and
color. My headaches stopped and
have not returned and l have never
felt so well as l do now

WINS MAIL FIGHT !!
REPRESENTATIVE MURDocK's
PROVISION IN THE BILL.
SAVES FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
Vast Amount Saved Annually in
Mail Transportation - Seven Day
Weight-Must Be Divided by Sew
en- Instead of Six Days.

Washington, D. c.. Feb. A. Vic
tor Murdoch scored handsomely to-
day by having his amendment,
million dollars annually, accepted
and approved by the committee on
postoffices and post roads. This
amendment will entirely do away
with the practice of weighing the
nails ninety days and dividing by
seventy-eight to get the daily aver
age, thus making that average near
iy 20 per cent more than it ought to
be, or five million dollars annually.
Mr. Murdoch spoke fifty minutes
on the subject yesterday, and fol-
lowed it up today with another talk,
after which the vote was taken. Be-
sides the millions excess on the
false average of weights, other SINH
lar practices were decided upon to
be abandoned, and the entire saving
will probably amount TO twelve mil
lion dallars per year.
For nearly eight days the commit
tee has been debating on this mat
ter, and up to the last moment 1t
was hard to determine how it would
end.
DIR. Murdoch is universally COM
plimented tonight for his single
handed fight against powerful odds
and a fearful opposition from
sources having a tremendous infiu-
ence.
The postofice appropriation bill
which the house committee will
complete Monday, will carry $685.
1S0,561. This is the largest amount
ever carried for the annual expen-
ditures of the postal service. The
total recommended in the bill is
more than 100000 in excess of
the amount estimated for by the de-
partment, and is an increase of
ST. 500, 562 over the current appro-
priation.
The salaries of postal clerks and
of both city and rural carriers are
increased to total of $7,000.00 A
provision is inserted in the bill for
the classification of postal clerks
and the positions of clerks and car
riers are made interchangeable
There are various provisions in
the bill intended to reduce the pay
of railroads for carrying the mails.
1t is estimated that this reduction
will amount to something like s12.-
100000 a year. A rate for hauling
daily from 5000 to $4,000 pounds is
reduced per cent, from $4,000 to
$4,000 pounds 10 per cent. and the
present rate of s21.37 per ton for
amounts above 10000 pounds is re-
duced to $19. These reductions. it
is estimated. will amount TO s3,OOO,-
600 year. \ saving of 100000
more is estimated as a result of re-
auctions in railroad pay. The bill
cuts off all pay to roads for hauling
empty mail sacks. which is estimat-
ed will save between So .000. 900 and
S4,OOO,000 year. The requirement
that the mails shall be weighed sew
en- days week and the amount di-
vided by seven instead OF by six, as
heretofore, a provision placed in the
bill today at the suggestion of
Representative Murdoch. of Kansas,
will, it is estimated. save $4,000, 1000.

"Soap Sense.D

The difference in cost between a
poor toilet soap and good toilet
soap such as Buchan's soap, is a cent
or two per week The difference in
results, though. cannot be measured
in money. The cheap soap made from
impure fat and powerful alkali, irri-
tates the skin and results in all kinds
of skin trouble. Buchan's Antisep-
tic Soap, however, is not only abso-
lutely pure and fine cleanser, but it
contains Phenol Absolut, an ideal an
tiseptic protecting the user against
contamination. If your dealer does
not keep it send his name and ad-
dress with 10 cents to Buchan's Soap
Corporation, New York, and they will
send you a full size cake.

is, however, in general appearance
only that they compare with Allcock's,
for they are not only lacking in the

full in their effects. Remember that
Allcock's are the original and only
