BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.

Rash Covered Face and Feet-Would
Cry Until Tired Out-Had "Crad1e
Cap" TOo-Speedy Cure by Cuti-
cura.
MY baby was about nine months old
VIXEN she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out l had always used Cuticura
Soap myself, and had heard Of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that l
thought I would give them a trial. The
improvement was noticeable in few
hours, and before | had used one box
Of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were we'll and have never troubled her
since. I also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap" from her
head, and it worked like a charm, as
it cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now l keep Cuticura Oint-
ment on hand in case Of any little rash
or insect bites, as it takes out the in
fiammation at once. Perhaps this may
be the means of helping other suffering
babies. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomas

When our grandparents were sick,
it was their custom to go into the
woods, gather the roots flowers or buds
Of some well-known plants, bring them
home and from them prepare tea or
bitters.
The timely use Of these Roots and
Herbs would assist nature to cure dis
ease and restore strength and vitality
to the whole system.
Gentian root was used to restore the
appetite, Rhubarb and Aloes to move
the bowels, Blackberry root and Ginger
to check them, Bloodroot and Wildcher-
ry bark for throat and lung troubles,
others were used to cure and prevent
fevers and SO all along the line it was
found that kind providence had provd-
ed in nature remedies for the sick.
Mr.. Zaegel, a chemist at Sheboygan,
Wis, prepares an extract made Of nine
different roots and herbs that has been
found an excellent remedy for Rheuma-
tism, Constipation, Backache and Piles.
If any of our readers will write Mr..
Zaegel he will send my mail and abso-
lutely free sample Of this extract
If you will mention the nature Of
your complaint, he will also send you
the names of these roots and herbs,
showing which is best indicated in your
case.
All that is necessary is to write to
Mr.. Zaegel, 1O7 Main street, Sheboygan,
Wis, and a free trial bottle will be
mailed at once, all charges prepaid
Dc not fail to write to-day, as so
many suffering from Constipation,
Backache, Rheumatism and Piles are
taking advantage of this offer that Mr..
Zaegel states he does not know how
long he can give this extract of Roots
and Herbs free.

Although only - years old Mrs. b.
kimbel of Des Moines, who until Il few
days ago was Miss Elizabeth Bischoff,
has Il family of twenty-seven children
and forty-two grandchildren. She ac-
quired this family by her marriage to
Capt. r. kimbeI at KELLER near Lancas-

The young bride, who has been famed
for her beauty among upper Mississippi
men, has turned away many young WOO

of their love and % offer heart and hand.
While the young river men could not
win the belle of the fishing fleet. Capt.
Kimbel though handicapped by nearly
seventy years, led her to the altar He
had three wives before he won Miss
Bischoff, so it soams he knew how to
WOO and win. Ills family accumulated
as he married widows with children.
In marrying Capt. Kimbel Miss Bisch-
off becomes the wife of one of the wealth.
lest and best known river men. In his
three score years the captain has lived
through many adventures, the telling OF
which would fill a young womans heart
with pride. AS a fisherman's daughter,
the bride has always been a child of the
river. Hunting and fishing, which she
did as we'll as many man, delighted
her. She spent most of her life out of
doors, Drawing winds and storm.
Among other things, Capt. Kimbel
owns the Eagle Point, one of the most

Testing any discomfort.
Nervous COWS do not seem to resent
the method, as long as the machines are
properly adjusted. The machines are
ideal for use with Il kicking COW. Mr..
lane continues:
The scarcity of mixers and the unreia-
hility of many of them. has had Il tendency
to keep many men from going into the
dairy business,
It is believed also that the advent of the

SEND BOMB IN A LETTER.
Deadly Art Finds Means Of Most Con-
venient Murder

So expert are bonlbmakers nowadays
that an apparently harmless letter may
kill any person who tries TO open it. A
piece of cardboard is cut to a size which
when folded over. will fit into an ordi-
nary envelope. The four corners of this
are slit into narrow strips. illuminate of
mercury is spread over three of the Sits
and the sheet is folded and fastened to-
gether. Projecting from each side of the
folded sheet is a little metal strip, OF
detonator glued to the cardboard in
such a manner that the envelope cannot
be opened without striking one of them.
Upon meeting this slight resistance the
hand moving the paper cutter instantly
pushes harder, and the result is an ex-
plOsion that either kills or maims.
