CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
sician for an obstinate case of &C.
zema, resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians S
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence of
the 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 Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
him the Cuticura Resolvent In
about three weeks his hands anj
arms healed up. So we have lots of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are a valuable
household standby, living as we do

The wagon method has the immense

We carry our implements out into his

him to compare the amount of work

remain at his house until he could
plough over his corn. When we come

corn field, we take out the cultivator
and show him that we can make seven
burrows where he is making one, and
with the same animal. So convincing
have these demonstrations been that
many have at once bought improved
implements. 1t generally means that
boys between the plough handles may
stay in school longer.

Milan. Italy, March 13.-About 1000
peasants were rendered homeless at

a fire which destroyed all the houses
within 4 very wide area. The only
building left standing was the church,
whose bell continued ringing for help
until the last moment, which the peas
ants considered to be a miracle.
Fortunately all the houses destroyed
were insured. which apparently made
the population of the village reluctant
to assist in extinguishing the flames,
the authorities being reluctant to as

authorities being eventually obliged tn
have recourse to corrective measures.

The authorities also had to cope with

burning houses, while the peasants
looked on apparently partly paralyzed
by terror and the excessively cold
weather.
