French Presidents npoubIe.r

M. Fallieres was. until recently, be-
lieved to be the only president of the
French republic who had no double.
but his counterpart has been found.
The man who most resembles him
physically is respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Honore, who plays
his part with decorum and dignity. He
wears exactly the same kind of blue
butterfly necktie with white dots as
the president, the same kind of hat
and exactly SO oddly cut beard. And
on his promenades he is always ac-
companied by a friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignified and with
measured steps, the enviable double
waiks through the Faubourg Saint
honore and feels overjoyed at being
salu.ed on all sides.

scALY ERUPTION ON BODY.
Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-suf-
fered 10 Years = Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

when I was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. l scratched them with
brass pin end shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
could scarcely walk. When l had
been suffering for about a month
the sores began to heal, but small
scaly eruptions appeared where the
sores had been. From that time on
ward l was troubled by such severe
itching that, until 1 became accus-
toned to it, would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
pany them. After l suffered about
ten years l made a renewed effort to
effect cure. The eruptions by this
time had appeared on every part of
my body except my face and hands.
The best doctors in my native coun-
ty advised me to use arsenic in small
doses and salve. / then used to
bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In ad-
dition l used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur. zinc salve, IS
Salve. - Ointment, and in fact
was continually giving some remedy
a fair trial, never using less than
one or two boxes or bottles. All
this was fruitless. Finally my hair
began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. used IS -,
but 1t did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes / was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-
fering and an expenditure of at least
$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring to
find a cure. l shall be glad to write
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Yer

COSTLY PRESSURE.
Heart and Nerves Fail on Coffee.

A resident of a great western state
puts the case regarding stimulants
with a comprehensive brevity that is
admirable. He says:
81 am Sc years old and have had con-
siderable experience with stimulants.
They are all alike-a mortgage on re-
served energy at ruinous interest. AS
the whip stimulates but does not
strengthen the horse, so do stimulants
act upon the human system. Feeling
this way, l gave up coffee and all
other stimulants and began the use of
Postum Food coffee some months ago.
The beneficial results have been ap-
parent from the first. The rheumatism

Newspapers for the Blind.

The announcement that the London
Daily Mail is about to issue a weekly
edition for the blind, draws attention
to the other British journals published
In Braille type, which have had long
and useful career, though they have
seldom been seen by the general pub
lie. The first weekly newspaper for
the blind was published on June /,
1892, and called the Weekly Summary.
1t has always been issued below cost
price. and it's promoters derive no
benefit from its publication. An
other was started only last year,
called the Braille Weekly, and issued
from Edinburgh.

Always to Be Depended Upon.

When person gets up in the morn
Ing with dull headache and tired
stretchy feeling, it's an almost certain
indication that the liver, or bowels,
or both, are decidedly out of order.
At such times Nature, the wisest
and best of doctors, takes this means
to give warning that she needs the
help and gentle assistance which can
best be obtained from that old fam
lily remedy, Brandreth's Pills, which
has been in use for over a century
They are the same fine laxative
tonic pill your grandparents used
when doctors were few and far be-
tween, and when people had to have
a remedy that could absolutely be de-
pended upon.

upon, and are sold in every drug and

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t 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 trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch. as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great
er strength than other makes.
