FEARFUL BURNING SORES.
Boy in Misery IL Years-Eczema in
Rough Scales, Itching and In
Manufactured by Cuticura.

"Cuticura has put a stop to twelve
years of misery l passed with my son.
AS an infant 1 noticed on his body a
red spot and treated same with differ
ent remedies for about five years, but
when the spot began to get larger l
put him under the car of doctors.
Under their treatment the disease
spread to four different parts of his
body. During the day it would get
rough and form like scales. At night
1t would be cracked, inflamed and bad
ly swollen, with terrible burning and
itching. One doctor told me that my
sons eczema was incurable, and gave
it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial.
When I had used the first box of Cuti-
cura Ointment there was a great i'm
provement, and by the time l had used
the second set of Cuticura Remedies
my child was cured. He is now twelve
years old, and his skin is as fine and
smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7

ABSURD REPORTS DENIED.
Southern and L. and N. Dispose Of
Rumors From Georgia.

Louisville, Ky.-Reports that the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad and the
Southern Railway propose to transfer
brewery Yaraphernalia and stills from
Georgia to States that are not "dry"
have followed the announcement that
Georgia will go dry" These reports are
denied by local officials of the railroads.
Fred Behring, of the Southern Railway,
said the Southern Railway will not trans
fer distillery paraphernalia and stills
for nothing, as it would be violating a
law made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
An official of the Louisville & Nash
vile said that his railroad will not con-
vey distillery paraphernalia across the
border of Georgia for two reasons The
first one, he said, was because there are
no distilleries along the lines of that
railroad, and it does not interest them at
all whether the State is dry" or SWEET"

SPAIN FAR BEHIND NATIONS.
lIliteracy Prevails There to a Most
Amazing Extent.

OF the 20, 900, 900 people inhabiting
Spain, only about 35 per cent. can
read and write; another two and one
half per cent. of the population can
read without being able to write, but
the remaining 62h per cent. are alb
solute illiterates. In the south of
Spain it is impossible to get a serv-
ant who a read and write, and
many of the postmen are unable to
tell to whom the letters they carry
are addressed. They bring a bun
die of letters to a house and the
owner looks through them and takes
those which are Cor which he thinks
are) addressed to him. The Spanish
postmen are not paid by the state;
the recipient of the letters have to
remunerate them according to the
amount of their correspondence, and
each letter costs the addressee at
least one cent. 1t is a joke among
the easy-going Spaniards that he who
treats the postmen best receives the
most letters-whether they are in
tended for him or not.

mar had govt and rheumatism, both
the small and large joints being i'm
movable, and his suffering was severe.
DR.. R. T. Trail, professor of theory and
practice, was explaining to US the i'm

to turn his head, and grunted out: I
can't go that; I want to enjoy life

Anonymous Letter Writer.

Anonymous Letter Writer.
Lancaster, Pa.-"Surrender $40, 1000 or
be murdered along with your sister," was
the substance of a letter received by
Charles B.. Grub, one of Lancaster's
wealthiest men. 1t was at first thought
to be a joke and no attention was paid
to it until yesterday, when It was sent
to Postmaster Miller. He 40 once ex-
pressed the belief that he knew the
writing and the police are now hunting
for the writer suspected, as they regard
the threat as serious.
The writer said that he had been
chosen by lot as a member of an organi-
cation "in the strong forty-two" to
secure from Grubb $4,000 or to- take
his life and the life of his sister, Miss
Daisy B.. Grub, of Philadelphia. 1t was
directed that the money be placed be-
meath a water trough on West Orange
street, beneath the Quarryville railroad,
by 9 o'clock Wednesday night.

begun to decline, and the poisonous germs which have accumulated because

ulcer, fed and kept open by the impurities with which the blood is saturated-
Nothing is more trying and disagreeatle than a stubborn, nonheahng sore.
The very fact that it resists ordinary remedies and teatmentsi is good reason
for suspicion; the same germ producing cancerous ulcers is back Of every
