Finally became Respondent and decided to dis continue their services. My husband purchased a single set of the Cuticura Remedies, which entirely stopped the breaking out. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was en- tirely gone. I have not felt a symptom of the eczema since, which was three years ago.

WATER FRONT FIRE,
Loss $5OO.OOO
Aged Sisters Found Almost
Helpless in Brooklyn
Disaster.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE most dis
astrous fire known along the Brooklyn
water front in many years destroyed
more than $500. 900 worth of property in
Furman- street and Columbia Heights
today. This fire. from its start to its
finish. was the most spectacular the
Brooklyn fremen have had to fight
within their memories. and was replete
with sensational incidents and narrow
escapes. Six hremen were overcome in
the dense smoke and gas that escaped
from broken pipes. but went back to
their hazardous work after being re-
vived.
The fire completely destroyed the
plants of the DeHaven Manufacturing
Company, at 30 to "a Columbia Heights
and 81 TO 55 Furman street; J. H. Pol

New York Coffee Roasting Company. at
81 TO 81 Furman street; the Nassau
Coffee Company. at 63 Furman street,
and Of the Nassau Machine Company,
at s. Furman street and SO Columbia
Heights. The loss to the DeHaven
Manufacturing Company is estimated by
Hugh DeHaven. one OF the firm. at
$3.50. 900, on which there is an Insurance
OF $50. O0o
The fire had gained considerable head
way when some one was heard to say
that two aged women and an old man
were helpless IN the three-stOry frame
tenement at 4s Columbia Heights.
Patrolman Heating heard the alarm.
and ran into the house. He found. al

YOU AND TODAY.


With every rising of the sun
Think of your life as just begun.
The past has shrived and buried deep
All yesterdays-there let them sleep.
Nor seek to summon back one ghost
OF that innumerable host.
Concern yourself but with today;
Woo it and teach it TO obey
Your wish and will. Since time began
Today has been the friend of man,
But in his blindness and his sorrow
He looks to yesterday and tomorroW.
You and today, a soul sublime,
And the great pregnant hour of time.
With God between to bind the twain.
Go forth, 1 say attain, attain.
