FEARFUL ITCHING
AFFL|CTS FAMILY
For Six Months They Suffered Tor
lures Patches Of Humor Became
Raw-CouId Hardly Sleep Med
icaI Treatment Did No Good but
TWO SETS OF CUTlCURA
CURED THEM IN TEN DAYS

Last February my sister broke out
with a humor which gradually spread
60 the rest Of the family, l being the last
TO take it. 1t manifested itself in
patches varying from the size OF pea
to that of a silver dollar. The joints OF
our limbs were most affected. The
PARTS where the skin was tender soon
became raw and irritated and we were
able to sleep but little because the itch
Ing got so BAD at night. My sister con-
suited a physician but he was unable to
name the disease and the treatment he
prescribed did no good at all. AS the
warm weather came on we were tor
tlred worse than ever, the irritated
parts causing us to scratch until they
would bleed In August, when it was
at its worst my sister was given
cake Of Cuticura Soap. This she tried
and it afforded so much relief that l
bought the complete treatment, con-
sisting Of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment, and Cuticura Pills. This we
used according to directions and imme-
siatelv the humor began to disappear.
] then bought another set and the whole
family were cured by these two. the
hotches disappearing in ten days. Az
fer this we used the Cuticura Pillp for
ten DAYS more to be sure that the humor
had gone to stay. We have not been
troubled since and We all think that II
it had not been for the Cuticura Rene
dies we would have been suffering yet.

GOOD LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Gov. Hughes Says It Is the Basis of
All Good rnment--COndcmns
Special Legislation.

Sandy Hi. y. Y, Aug. 27.-The I'M
portance OF local government and the
need OF public officials who are actua ted
by consc fence and honor were emphasized
by Governor Charles F. Hughes in his
address at the Washington county fair
to-day.
The fundamental principle Of govern
ment" said the governor is local govern
ment and the place to look primarily in
order to secure good government and
good administration is at your own home
We have need to emphasize the import
ance Of local government and sense
of accountability to each locality or
community OF those who in that locality
or community have. immediate charge Of
local affairs. 1t is not the proper thing
to run to Albany to get special bill
relating to some matter which properly
should be committed to the discretion of
the local board. You cannot expect good
republican government unless in each
locality there is good citizenship enough
to hold men accountable for the per-
Torrance Of public duty. But of course
we cannot get everything perfect in this
world and the less so because from time
| immemorial the Leg stature has been
passing special bills and you are hide
bound in many respects and cannot ad-
just things without other special bills
The result Is that one special bill be-
comes a parent of a progeny of special
bills which increase IN geometrcal ratio
with the generations.
The great question about government
in this country is that the people shall
| feel that 1t works partially and square
! ly and no one gets the advantage over
| his fellows. We have had legisla ton
| during the last session of the I.egisla
