Women to Build Town Hall.

At Monravia, a little town of prob
ably 500 inhabitants, in the north
west corner of this (Morgan) county,
is a little band of women associated
in an organization known as the Com
mercial Club. The town is like many
other Indiana towns of it's size; it
has no place suitable for public gath
erings aside from the churches and
schoolhouses, and these energetic
women have attempted to remedy this
condition. With that purpose in view
they are striving by every honorable
method to raise money with which
to build a town hall. The name Com
mercial Club is usually applied to a
body of men organized for the pur-
pose of obtaining factories and other
public institutions for other cities,
and at first blush it might seem inap-
propriate when applied to a club of
women. Not q nan 10 permitted to

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores From Ecze.
ma-Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little girl
treated by a very prominent physician for
an obstinate case of eczema, l resorted to
the Cuticura Remedies, and was so well
pleased with the almost instantaneous re-
lief afforded that we discarded the ply
sician's prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and
Cuticura Pills. When we commenced with
the Cuticura Remedies her feet and limbs
were covered with unning sores. In about
six weeks we had her completely well, and
there has been no recurrence of tn.
trouble.
'In July of this year a little boy in our
family poisoned his hands and arms with
poison oak, and in twenty-four hours his
hands and arms were a mass of torturing
sores. We used only the Cuticura Rem
edies, washing his hands and arms with
the Cuticura Soap, and amounting them
with the Cuticura Ointment, and then
gave him the C%uticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. So we have lets of cause for
feeling grateful for the Cuticura Remedies.
We find that the Cuticura Remedies are
a valuable household standby, living as We
do twelve miles from a doctor. Mrs. Lizzie

PUTNAM FADELESS DYE
Ammunition of Seventeenth Century.

Ammunition of Seventeenth Century.
a bucket containing bullets and
gunpowder has been discovered in the
roof of Durham Castle, where it is
believed to have been walled up about
the year 1641, when the castle was
being prepared to Withstand a Scot
fish raid.
The bullets are moulded spheres
of two sizes, and, according to the
analysis of Messrs. Silberrad and
Simpson, consist of a little over nine
ty per cent. of lead, with iron and
silver and traces of bismuth, arsenic
and anthony. The gunpowder is not
granulated like that of the present
day, and was evidently prepared by
simply mixing the ingredients. 1t
contains about one per cent. of mois-
ture, and the proportion of the con-
stituents calculated on the dry pow
der is practically identical with that
of the black gunpowder of to-day,
viz, nitre seventy-fiye per cent, car
bon five per cent. and sulphur ten
per cent.
1t is pointed out by Messrs. Sill
berrad and Simpson that this is a re-
markable fact, since the gunpowders
made in England at that time con-
tanned a considerably large amount of
sulphur. The only gunpowder with
the modern proportions in use in the
seventeenth century was Prussian
musket powder, and hence 1t is sug-
gested that the Durham powder was
probably of Prussian origin.-Knowl-

to cure it you must take internal remedies.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur

medicine. 1t was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for years,

of the best tonics known, combined with the
mucous surfaces. The perfect combination
of the two ingredients is what produces
such wonderful results in curing catarrh.
