ocALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies Frultless-Suf.
fsred 10 Years - Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

When / was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. l scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
( could scarcely walk. When | had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward l was troubled by such severe
itching that, until I became accus-
toned to it, I would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After l suffered about
ten years / made renewed effort to
effect cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part Of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and a salve. l then used to
bathe the sores in mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad-
dition / used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
6alye, - Ointment, and in fact I
was continually giving some remedy

one o. two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair

but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, l thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticnra Soap and being pleased with
1t. After using three boxes | was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
!ering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring to
6nd a cure. / shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. b. Hiram Mattingly, Ver-

A BOGUS SUBSTITUTE.

A friend claims that he is able to
Stake his thirst or at least get along
without drinking any water to speak
of OH hot days by keeping two or three
kernels of coffee in his mouth. This
might tend to bring saliva to the
mouth and seem locally to satisfy the
craving for something to drink, but 1t
Is well to remember that parched
mouth is not only evidence that the
mouth, but the whole system as well,
is in need Of liquid refreshment, and
the keeping of coffee in the mouth
would hardly supply this. Where a
worker Is prone to drink more water
than his system really needs substi-
tute of this kind might be a good
thing, but as for taking the place Of
water for one who drinks only moder-
ate quantities it would seem to have
very little to back 1t from any sound
physiological standpoint.

AN EVENING SKY.

The thought is often expressed that
# artists were to paint pictures Of a
sunset sky and put in just the colors
and light and shade effects that are Of
ten seen of summer evening they
would be ridiculed as not keeping close
to nature. Such a sky scene as this
furnished a magnificent spectacle for
many observers following a light show
er Of a month ago. The setting sun,
shining through rain falling from a
misty, vaporous cloud overhead, threw
a splendid double iridescent rainbow
athWart the clear dark blue vault of
the eastern sky. Directly beneath and
entirely inclosed by the brilliant rain
bow arch were twin thunder clouds,
which reared their snow white heads
in transient, disappearing grandeur.
Could an artist have caught the pic
ture in all it's radiance and beauty and
transferred it to a living canvas it
might be called unnatural by those
who beheld 1t, but it would have been
a masterstroke that would have fixed
his name for generations True, not
many can visit the famous art gal
leries Of the world, but all can keep
eyes open for the beauties of the nat
ural world, for rosy daWns and golden
sunsets, which the great Master Artist
Of the universe paints for all with Won
drous, lavish hand.

A LOOK FORWARD.

Although the prevailing midday tenn
perature these stuffy days has been
close to 90 in the shade, it is well to
remember that in a few short months
several tons Of coal will be needed to
keep one warm during the winter. To
many In the northwest, particularly
the Dakotas, this suggestion should
come with particular force, inasmuch
as the instances were not a few last
winter where partly through improvi-
dence in the matter Of laying in sup
ply Of coal, partly through inability Of
the railroads to deliver coal that had
been ordered, many families endured
extreme suffering from the cold and
were compelled to burn their barns
and sheds and in some cases their
household furniture to keep from freez-
ing to death. A suggestion which has
been made by transportation officials
to the effect that where possible con-
sumers of coal should lay In their coal
supply early is a most sensible one
that ought to be more generally fol-
lowed.

A SUGGESTION.

There are all too many rural commu-
mites Of thousand or two inhabitants
with from five to eight different reli-
gious organizations where there is
nothing SO much needed as an applica-
ton Of the principle Of consolidation
which is just now such a potent in
fuence In the hard listed commercial
world. Such union of religious forces
would not only mean fewer underpaid
and half starved preachers, but a bet
ter quality of preaching, better music
and more money to devote to mission
airy, educational and other philan-
thropic purposes. At present there
does not seem to be much tendency for
this idea to take root in the religious
field, but tia. it must sooner or later
do SO is coming to be quite generally
recognized

GROUNDING WIRE FENCES


The grounding Of the wire fences
which inclose the pasture will often
prevent the loss of stock by lightning
which may strike in the vicinity. This
is done by taking a short piece Of
wire, wrapping it about each Of the
two or three wires which constitute
the fence, as the case may be, and
sticking the lower end from a foot to
eighteen inches into the ground di-
rectly beneath the fence. The current
