BUT CUTICURA WORKS
 A MIRACULOUS CURE

"When my little boy was six months old he had eczema. The sores extended 80 quickly over the whole body that we at once called in the doctor. We then went to another doctor, but he could not help him, and in our despair we went to a third one. Matters be- came so bad that he had regular holes in his cheeks, large enough to put finger Into. The food had to be given with a spoon, for his mouth was covered with crusts as thick as finger, and when- ever he opened the mouth they began to bleed and suppurate as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest, and back, in short the whole body was covered over and over. We had no rest by day or night. Whenever he was laid in his bed, we had to pin his hands down, otherwise he would scratch his face and make an open sore. 1 think his face must have itched most fearfully.
 We finally thought nothing could help, and 1 had made up my mind to send my wife with the child to Europe, hoping that the sea air might cure him, medical care there. But, Lord be- blessed, matters came differently, and we soon saw a miracle. A friend of ours spoke about Cuticura. We made a trial with Cutioura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent, and within ten days or two weeks we noticed a decided inn provement. Just as quickly as the sickness had appeared it also began to disappear, and within ten weeks the child was absolutely well, and his skin was smooth and white as never before. F.

and that is how to treat their coughs
and colds, or to ward off threatened
attack of Group. For this purpose we
recommend Chamberlain's Cough Rene

case of Group it should be given as soon
as the croupy cough appears, so as to
prevent the attack. Keep it at hand

LEGATIONS of the coal and clay beds of
Henderson county as far as it is pos
sible at present to do so. While
obviously some work has been done
by the survey in this section, the
extent and number of coal beds has
never been determined over the en-
tire county.
If sufficient information cannot be
obtained from what is open to pres
ent investigation it is proposed to
bring a core drill to be operated at
the instance of the state into the
county the coming year.
The work of mapping the county
geographically Jointly by the state
and federal surveys has now pro-
crossed so far that only a small por-
ton of the northern part Of the coun-
ty remains to be mapped.

Kentucky boasts a town whose

Some twenty-five years ago a country

lively trade, in prohibition times, in
bottled stomach bitters called 'Tolu

up in the vicinity Of the store was
dubbed "Tolu. The village attain
