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

when 1 was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. 1 scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became so sore that
/ could scarcely walk. When 1 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, 1 would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for a few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After / suffered about
ten years l made a renewed effort to
effect a 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 a salve. l then used to
battle the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In adj
dition 1 used other remedies, such
as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
SalVe, - Ointment, and in fact l
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 1 was rapidly
becoming bald. / used IS ,
but it did no good. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, l thought l would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with
it. After using three boxes l was
completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen year. 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:
Il 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, / 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
that / used to suffer from has left me.

testimony also to the food value Of

When < Ples.

Do not roll the paste too thin for
pies or it will be dry and ~tasteless
when baked. Divide the paste into
two sheets and spread one over the
bottom and sides of the tin. Now put
in the fruit, heaping it higher in the
center, and put over it the second
sheet of paste as a lid, pressing the
edges closely down and then crimp-
ing or notching them with a sharp
little knife.
When the fruit is juicy, place on the
center of the under crust a small com
mon teacup, laying the fruit around
and over it. The juice will collect
under the cup instead of between the
edges of the pie. The fruit should be
well sugared when placed in the pie.
Preserves should never be put into
covered pies.
Pies should be eaten the day they
are baked, if possible.
Tarts are small shells filled with
fruit.

soon, and lately a complete edition OF
his books in 20 beautiful volumes was
issued in America with success. When
Mr.. Hardy took the manuscript OF

$125 down for the book. Mr., Hardy
accepted the sum, although he owned
that he was "a bit disappointed, add

French Presldent's "pouble.u

M. Fallieres was, until recently, be-
neved 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 a respectable merchant
of the Rue Saint Hon pre-, 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 a beard. And
on his promenades he is always &C
companied by a friend who could cas-
lily be taken for the presidents pri-
vate secretary. Dignifed and with
measured steps, the enviable double
walks through the Faubourg Saint
Honore and feels o~verjoyed at being
saluted on all sides.

to the other British journals published
in Braille type, which have had a 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 1,
1892, and called the Weekly Summary.

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 fneness 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 it can be applied
much more thinly because of it's great

Always to Be Demanded upon.

When a person gets up in the morn
ing with a dull headache and a 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

to give warning that she peeds 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

a remedy that could absolutely be de-

This is very truthful statement.
in spite of the fact that we are fire.
quently assured that knowledge and
intellectually are fairly riotous in the
communities of the North and the man
must be exceedingly wise who is able
to add anything to the sum of their
wonderful knowledge. Yet the fact
has not escaped us that these enlight-
ened communities have often given
proof that the could not be more ig-
norant Of conditions in the South if
the South, instead Of being in the
Union was planted somewhere in the
heart of South Africa.
It has long been evident that the
masses of the Northern people know
little about the South and care less.
To them it is a far distant province
"a terra incognita. as it were, but in
order to keep the record straight 1t is
well, to dispute the claim that New
England manufactures all of the
South's cotton. On the other hand, it
is quite right and proper to frankly
admit that it enjoys monopoly in the
manufacture Of false information re
garding the South and the Southern
people.
