SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES.
All Came Out-Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura.

After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be- My hair all came out. l let the trou- ble run along, taking the doctors blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed that way for about six months; then I got a set of the Cuticura Reme- dies, and in about week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and l have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago. I consider myself cured. Mrs Henry Porter, Albion, Neb, Aug. 25, 1906.'

In locking his safe the other night prior to his going home for supper George Edsemont, paperhanger who lives at Jefferson street and Hermit age lane, Manayunk, shut the safe doer upon his flowing whiskers and was held until released by his daugh- ter. says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 Edgemont had been out collecting bills during the day. Returning to his office he opened his safe and placed the money in it. He then threw the door shut, catching the end of his beard in the door In the excitement incident to his odd predieament he forgot the combination and so could not release himself. With his chin resting on the safe he was discov- cred about an hour after the accident by his daughter. who came to find what had delayed him. The safe was broken open by q locksmith.

During the present financial furry the people have blamed the banks and the banks have blamed the people, but after all the blame rests on all the people about the same.

The foundation of the matter lay in the fact that there was considerable loose speculation. but this was taken advantage of by the politicians 10 use it as 2 mountain oa which to mount to office. and by the sensational news paper writer who wanted something new enough to sell for q good price All the time there was more money in the United States than ever before in the coTntry's history.

There are two things necessary to get a stated price for an article you have for sale One of them is to ask the price and take nothing less, and the other is to find ne buyer at the price you ask In the matter of cotton selling, there is no trouble if the breth- ren will only hold out to the original proposition of 15 cents.

All over the country there are being held meetings of all sorts of commer- cial bodies and melodies to arrange 10 present to Congress q petition against the parcels post system, which 1t is proposed to introduce in a modi-
 fled form in this country There is too much excitement about this mat ter. The truth to tell is that 1t would not make much difference on the whole country tospass or not to pas the bill As it is proposed now. the bill would not be much more than a mere excuse for q parcels post, and it may be that this proposition is only to mollify and befuddle the public with a botch to prevent the real growth of the parcels post idea in this country. At present the idea is to make it operative only on rural routes and for the patrons of outgoing routes only. In this way. it is argued, the rural route patrons can have small packages brought to them from the towns where the routes originate at a small cost, say five cents for the first pound. and one cent a pound for lara CT parcels. How this would unfayor- ably affect the local merchants inter- ested Is hard to figure out, but it is this bobtail parcels post system that is raising all the sand among the diff. terent retail organizations.
