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,
1 resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Clticura 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 a little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were q
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,

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, 1t 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:
II 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 to my atten-
ton that coffee caused so many ner-
vous diseases, l 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 l quit it
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now l 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
full rest.

worth its weight in gold to me-"

John Quincy Adams, Of Massachu-

about ten years ago, was very fond
Of fishing, and not especially fond Of
his legal profession.
One day, the story runs, 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

league Of Adams that the letter read
as follows:

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 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 its great
er strength than other makes.

l%ooical Transformation

iO9iCaI transformation.
When we happen to witness a phe-
nomenon which seems to violate nat

for my students, helped them to UNI

A white cat mad of fexible paste
board and imprisoned in a glass jar is
shown to the audience. The lecturer
announces that without opening the
jar or even touching it he will cause
the cat to undergo a geological as we'll
as a chemical transformation. He takes
the support of the jar and pushes it
forward in full view of the students.
Tn change occurs almost %instanta-
neously. The cat takes a rich orange
color OF which black t~ransversal stripes
rapidly paint themselves. The cat has
become a tiger.
The whole transformation is pro-
duced by emanations of hydrogen sui
phide. which is generated in the lar
itself without my visible apparatus.
The cat has been previously coated
with a solution of chloride of anti
laony wherever the orange hue was to
be produced. and With a solution of
basis acetate of lead wherever the
black stripes We're to appear. Both
solutions are colorless. After the coated
cat has been introduced in his glass
