Cured by cuticura.

When l was about nine years old
small sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. scratched them with a
brass pin and shortly afterwards both
of those limbs became SO sore that
] could scarcely walk. When l 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 I was troubled by such severe
itching that, until l became accus-
toned to it, would scratch the sores
until the blood began to flow. This
would stop the itching for q few
days, but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accom-
pany them. After / suffered about
ten years made renewed effort to
effect 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 salve. / then used to

as iodine, sulphur, zinc salve, IS
Salve, - Ointment, and in fact /
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 / was rapidly

after, having used almost everything
else, l thought 1 would try Cuticura
Ointment, having previously used
Cuticura Soap and being pleased with

completely cured, and my hair was
restored, after fourteen years of suf-

$50 or $50 in vainly endeavoring to

RURAL MAIL SERVICE FROM A
MONETARY POINT OF VIEW.
Glowing Statement From Representa-

Saving Of Millions.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
That real estate in the rural dis
! tricts of the United States has in
creased in value about $750,000,900 by
the establishment of the rural free
delivery service, is the interesting con-
clusiOn that recently has been reach
ed by authorities OF the subject.
Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral De Graw is in receipt of COM
munication from Representative d. E.
Finley of South Carolina, member
of the house committee on postoffice
and post roads, in which that gentle
man treats the subject of rural de-
livery from commercial view point
After embodying in the communica-
ton report of the proceedings of
the state convention of rural carriers
recently held at Greenville, S. c., and
referring to the general satisfaction
exhibited by delegates with the con-
sideration given rural carriers by the
last congress, Representative Finley
emphasizes the Impressive loyalty of
the carriers to the service, and pro-
ceeds to detail the result of his per-
sonal observations and research on the
subject of rural delivery. Representa-
tive Finlay says:
I'm regard the rural service as
in highly satisfactory condition.
The service has been extended
throughout the country, the pay of
carriers increased, and, | am bound to
say that, to my knowledge, it has
been impartially extended.
''The benefit of this service to the
people living in rural districts, particu-
larry, and to the country as whole,
cannot be estimated. | am of the
opinion that real estate values in the
rural districts have been increased
probably $75O,OOO,OOO, and the time
saved the farmers which otherwise
would be spent in going to and from
their postoffices at from $5O,O0O,0O0 to
$6O,OOO,000 year.
1.-The rural service, in effect, amounts
to a great national university for
the farmer"
In discussing Representative Fnley's
communication, Mr.. De Graw stated
that while it was something entirely
new to consider the rural delivery
service from commercial standpoint;
that, nevertheless, he had been fire.
quently told by residents OF rural
communities that real estate values
had increased from S. to SIS per acre

SOUL RETURNS TO GOD
WILLIAM REEFS JONES OF OTTA.
WA is NO MORE.
Promising Life Was Cut Short BY
Death; Had Many Relatives In
Blue Earth County.

From Thursdays Daily.
William Rees Jones of Ottawa is
dead. He was carried away on Satur-
day. Mr.. Jones was twenty-siX years
old on Saturday last, the day of his
death, says The lie Sueur News. For
| two years he suffered with diabetes
and at times was very ill. On the
Tuesday previous to his death he re-
turned home from the cities where he
spent couple of weeks with friends
enjoying a rest. The last attack of
| the disease followed his return home
and was very severe. He seemed to
know that death was at hand. In fact
the work of his life had been to pre-
pare for the end. He lived the life
of true christian, following in the
| footsteps of God as ~nearly; as mortal
man can. In al church work, in all
pertaining to the helping of his fell
low men, he did not wait for others
to act, but went forward to do good
and to aid. As you met and entered
into conversation with him there was
that about him that told you his life's
work was to build for others in words
and by example. He was fond of music
and as vocalist had achieved con-
siderable notoriety. He was very
prominently connected with the e. f.
society of his church. His interment
took place from his fathers home in
Ottawa township Monday last at two
O'Clock. A short service was held at
the home. At the Welsh church Rev.
Owen, the resident minister, was as
sisted bv Rev. William Evans of Man
kato. Rev. David Edwards and Rev.
John Roberts of Lake Crystal, Rev.
Roberts of Denver, Col, Rev. Detwell-
err of Equidor and Lewis Hughes. The
service was impressive, and listened to
by very large congregation of friends
who sympathized deeply/with the be-
reaved father, two sisters and three
brothers who are left to mourn his
death. Many were present from other
places to pay tribute to the dead.
Among others were Mrs. Abbott and
sons, Miss Lizzie Hughes and Richard
Hughes of Iowa: MrsN Elizabeth Thorn
as and sons Richard and John, David
Morgan, Mrs. William Jones, Rev. and
Mrs. David Edwards, Mr.. and Mrs.
William Hughes, Evan T. Jones and
daughter Sarah of Lake Crystal; Mrs.
