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

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
sician for an obstinate case of eczema,
l resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was SO well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
tion and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies 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.
I'm July of this year 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, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

Jerome on coIored Evidence.

District Attorney Jerome, of New
York, said one day of a piece Of sus-
picious evidence:
1T is evidence that has been tam
pered with, colored. 1t is like the
lady's report of her physicians pre-
scription.
"a lady ore day in July visited her
physician. The man examined her
and said:
Madam, you are only a little run
down. You need frequent baths and
plenty Of fresh air, and advise you to
dress in the coolest, most comfortable
clothes-nothing stiff or formal
when she got home her husband
asked her what the physician had said.
The lady replied:
He said must go to the seashore,
do plenty of automobiling, and get
some new summer gowns"

APPEAL THAT WAS HEEDED.
Judge Must Also Have Been Follower
of the Gentle Art.

John Quincy Adams, of Massachu-
sets, third of that name, who died
about ten years ago, was very fond
OF hshing, and not especially fond of
his legal profession.
One day. the story runs, a case in
which he was counsel was down for
trial in Massachusetts court. Mr..
Adams did not make his appearance,
but sent letter to the judge. That
worthy gentleman read it, and then
postponed the case with the announce
ment:
"Mr. Adams is detained on i'm
portant business"
1t was afterward learned by a col
league of Adams that the letter read
as follows:
Dear Judge: For the sake of old
lsaak Walton. please continue my
case till Friday The smelts are
biting, and l can't leave"

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. 1t
shows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Oak. She says:
Il have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that must keep on the move.
when it was brought 90 my atten-
tion that coffee caused SO many ner-
vous diseases, concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see If my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.
Il only drank one cup of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit 1t
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now have no more
OF the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount of bedding over
me and sleep all night, In sound, peace
ful rest.
Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth its weight in gold to me-"

The extraordinary popularity of fine
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch matter of great i'm
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only one which is safe to use on fine
fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener
makes half the usual quantity of Starch
necessary, with the result of perfect
finish, equal to that when the goods
were new

Evil of Tipping System.

Although there is great effort made
to keep secret the thefts in hotels and
restaurants in New York, it is quite
evident they are on rapid increase.
The manager Of a large restaurant
says the system of having servants
depend almost entirely upon patrons
for their pay. lowers their moral STAN
dard and causes them to look on those
they are supposed to serve as their
legitimate prey.

Would Make Rich Crop.

It is estimated that 21,000,OOO acres
are available for rice growing in
Louisiana and Texas, and the value
of such crop would be s400,000,000.
This would make the rice crop fifth
in point of value among the cereals of
this country.

Beware of Ointments for catarrh
that Contain Mercury,

a. mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell
and completely derange the whole system when
entering !. through the mucous surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except on prescrip-
tons from reputable physicians, the damage they
will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly de-
rive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured
by +. j. Cheney Co., Toledo, o., contains mer-
curry and is taken internally acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In

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 it's great
er strength than other makes.

baby he would make a lonesome lit
tie boy or girl very happy.
With a spirit which makes Mayor
Beall known in Alton as one OF the
greatest lovers of the little folk, he
writes to each and all that he will
send the stOrks for a visit at the time
suggested, if papa and mamma are will
ing and ready to take care of a baby,
and in some cases he has received ac
acknowledgement from the little folks
that the birds came and filed the or
der as promised.
The stOrks are still one of the
most interesting things in Altcn. The
donor of the birds told Mayor Beall
they were more difficult to get than
any wild animal he had ever captured.
The belief in Germany and Holland
that the birds are omens of good luck
and that he who touches them to do
them harm would be visited by all
forms of dire calamity, is a charm
that protects the birds from any mo-
lestatiOn. Efforts to get the birds for
Mayor Beall proved futile until some
one discovered a nest on a building on
the Hagenbeck place. The young
birds were captured and put in a crate
and shipped to New York, from there
to be sent to Washington to be accli-
mated and thence to Alton.
The fact that they were to go to
Washington caused a misapprehension
that they were for President Roose-
welt, and it was eight days before the
mayor finally persuaded the express
agency at New York that the birds
were for him and that they must be
shipped at once direct to Alton. He
would take no more chances by ship
ping them to Washington as he feared
that they might be sent to the White
house, and he very much desired that
they be kept in his block OF houses at
Alton, where every family is priv
ileged to have as many babies as it
pleases without fear of being COM
PEELED to move out Of the houses on
account of the children.
The stork, Mayor Beall said was to
be the emblem Of his big block of
houses, the best kept tenement houses
in all Alton When the birds came to
Alton they were warmly housed for
the winter and are being given close
attention so they will grow big, and
Mayor Beall's hope may be realized
that they will build a nest on his chin
ney and bring him and his neighbors
good luck.

WashingtOa.--Nhe hether- the band of

miles diagonalIy across the. state OF
Wyoming, were really out on the war
path, or merely playing truant. seems
to be open to question. Indian Com
missioner Leupp believes they were

serves, at any rate, to draw public at
tentiOn not only to the history and

but to the infTequeDcy with which our
red-skinned wards figure in the days

Torrance as this OF the Utes would
have passed all but uhnoticed.
The Ute, or Utah Indians, form a di-
vision of the ShOshonean family, for
merly occupying the region which ex-
tends from the Salt Lake basin in
Utah eastward to the highest ridges
OF the Colorado Rockies.
When, in the early days of the last
century, American hunters and pio-
neers first came in contact with them,
the Utes were a powerful nation of
some $4,000 souls. BY the year 1S41,
however, when John G. Fremont made
his first pathfinding expedition across
the Rockies. they had been reduced
through constant warfare with the
Cheyennes and the COmanches to
something like $4,000 persons. More
