Doctors and Remedies FruitIess-Suf.
fered 10 Years = Completely
Cured by Cuticura.

Small sores appeared on each of
my lower limbs and shortly afterwards
they became so sore that / could
scarcely walk. The sores began to
heal, but small scaly eruptions ap-
peared. The itching was so severe
that l would scratch the sores until the
blood began to flow. After I suffered
thus about ten years / 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 doctor in my native
county and many remedies gave no
relief. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and / was
rapidly becoming bald. A few months
after, having used almost everything
else, I thought I would try Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After
using three boxes I was completely
cured, and my hair was restored, after
fourteen years of suffering and an ex-
penditure of at least $50 or $50 in vain

ENTIcED BY THE BAR.
Strenuous Actions Mildly Explained
by the Minister.

Many stories are told Of the &C.

old clergyman who lived in Maine
some years ago. At n time there
had been a fight among some men,
n Of whom was seriously hurt. A
trial took place, and the old minister
who had seen the ARRAY was sum-
moned as a witness.
What vas Salson doing?" was
the first question.
"Oh, he was slashing around"
well, sir, just what do you mean
by that?"
why, he was knocking about him

why he-he enticed him." said
the old minister slowly. "He enticed
him with a crowbar. He used the
crowbar to persuade the man-to en-
tice him; and by a series of pokes
and blows he succeeded in doing it"
said the minister. mildly.

ZIP from the SAGE.


WELL" yawned the sage of the park
bench, this business of chasing dogs
around the town and taking them to
the pound may be all right in some
ways, but it certainly is wasting a lot
OF valuable power"
"Power?" calculated the park po-
hceman in surprise.
yes, power. When a dog is in a
good humor he wags his tail, doesn't
he?"
Believe he does"
well now, If we could keep all the
stray dogs in a good humor and stand
them in a row and let them wag their
tails from morn till night, why, man,
there would be enough power general
ed to run a trolley line. Niagara
wouldn't be in it. Wonder to me

SOMEWHAT OF A REFLECTION.
Naive Comment of Debutante That
Amused Hostess.

A charming hostess of one Of the
big houses" as they are called by
those who are welcomed into them,
has the added beauty of premature
white hair. That which seems to her
contemporaries an added charm may
appear to the crudely young a mark
of decline, at least SO it appears in
one instance of which the hostess her.
self tells with enjoyment.
The lady is a connoisseur of an
tiques. At n of her teas a debutante
rich with the glow of youth, but sadly
constrained with her sense of novelty,
was handed a cup Of tea; the cup
was beautifully blue and wonderfully
old. The hostess desiring. to light
en- the strain on her youthful guest
by a pleasant diverting remark, said:
THAT little cup is a hundred and ff-
ty years old"
"Oh," came the d%ebutante's high
strained tones: How careful you
must be to have kept 1t so long!"

A Square Deal.

A certain peasant supplied a baker
with three pounds of butter daily, and
after some time the baker noticed
that the butter never weighed three
pounds. At last he summoned him.
Have you no scales at homer" the
Judge asked. YES" said the peasant.
Have you weights?" Eyes, but
never weigh butter with them"
"Why?" Because, since the baker
buys my butter, 1 buy his bread, and
as 1 always buy three pounds at a
time, l weigh the butter withe the
bread" He was acquitted.-Siarcz.

BAD BLOOD
THE SOURCE OF ALL DISEASE

Every part Of the body is dependent on the blood for nourhhment and
strength. When this life stream is flowing through the system in a state OF
purity and richness we are assured OF perfect and uninterrupted health;
because pure blood is natures safeguard against disease. When, however,
the body is fed on weak, impure or polluted blood, the system is deprived of
its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various
ways. Pustu1ar erupions, pinp1es, rashesa and the different skin affections
show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased conalion a g a result Of too
much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are
the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca
tarh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, ETC., are all deep-seated blood
disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains.
These impurities and poisons find their way into the blood in various ways.
Often a sluggish. inactive condition of the system, and torpid state OF the
avenues of bodily waste leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and
form uric and other acids, which are taken up by the blood and distributed
throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is
another cause for the poisoning of the blood; we also breathe the germs and
sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some
are SO unfortunate as to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old
constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are
constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis
ease, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body is sure to
suffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S.. is the best
remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation ard removes any
and all poisons, supplies the heathfql properties it needs, and completely
and permanently cures blood diseases of
* every Kind. The action of S. S. S. is SO
n.y. ~ thorough that hereditary tants are removed
and weak, diseased blood made strong and
&#&Y0 &Two healthy SO that disease cannot remain. It
cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores
PURELY VEGETABLE and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagious
Blood Poison, etc, and does not leave the
slightest trace of the trouble for future outbreaks. The whole volume of
blood is renewed and cleansed after a course of S; SIS: 1t is also natures
greatest tonic, made entirely of roots, herbs and banks, and is absolutely
harmless to any part of the system. SIS S. is for sale at all first class
drug stores. Book on the blood and any medical advice free to all who vnte.

Everyone tries to find happiness in
life. Some aim to become rich, in the
hope of finding it, and when rich they
learn that they have added the misery
of the dread of losing their fortune, and
seldom find any contentment, much less
happiness. Others seek power and con-
troll over men, only to find the respon-
sibilities are SO great that they cannot
find ease, either for mind or body. True
happiness is seldom attained and only
possessed by those who love God and his
neighbor and obey the laws of God and
of the State.
A travelling man with the drink habit
was persuaded to try oranges as a cure.
He says his physician advised the use of
oranges, and that the trial began with
the patient eating one before breakfast
and one every time thereafter that he

using. Gradually the desire succumbed
to the treatment, and now for more than
a year the patient. has felt no inclina-
tion whatever to return to the use of
intoxicants. Eleven of his friends SINH
larly afflicted with the drinking habit
have profited by this mans experience.

Cecil County's Answer.

A majority of 1913 in Cecil county is the
reply to the charges that Judge Crohers'
neighbors had descredited him at previous
elections 1t is also an emphatic and concu-
sive response to the charges affecting Judge
Crothers' personal character which were
published and reiterated during the late cam
paign. When we take into consideration the
fact that one third of the Republican vote i'll
Cecil county is colored and is cast for the
Republican ticket regardless of the names of
the candidates on it, 1t is apparent that his
white fellow.ciizens in his own county united
in his vindication and in an expression of
confidence in him by vote of something like
two to one, and it is safe to say that those
who voted against him did so from POLITICAL
and not from personal considerations. The
white people of Cecil county are intelligent,
moral and patriotic, and they would not by
so large majority as they gave Judge Gro
theirs have voted to endorse man who was
not worthy of their good opinion.
When great political party nominates>a
man for Governor the presumption is that ne
is all honest and honorable man his
presumption may be negatived, but it requires
strong testimony to do so and not the loose
charges of anonymous people or OF those who
have some personal grievance.
While it is true that Mr.. Crothers was twice
defeated in Cecil county when he was a
candidate for the State Senate, it is perfectly
we'll known that those defeats were due to the
division ofthe Democratic party in the county
into two factions. Mr.. Crothers was the
leader of one and the late John S. Writ OF
the other, and it was seldom that candidate
conspicuous in one faction could command
the united support of the other faction. 1t
was not on any question of personal fitness
that Mr.. Crothers was ever defeated. and his
triumph now, after campaign in which ne
was made an issue, is victory which is Cecil
county's answer to his critics.-Stn.

How About It?

We have heard considerable talk about that
trolley line from Hanover to Glyndon, but no
one has heard the motorman's going yet so
far as we can learn. 1t seems to US that the
towns of Hampstead and Manchester should
be wide-a-wake to the furtherance of the en-
terprise. A car line through these towns
would be worth half a million dollars to the
town and immediate vicinity and if lost, it
may be long time before another opportu.
nifty like this will knock at our door.
There is fallacious idea prevailing with
some merchants that this trolley line would
carry trade away from them. The fact is that
it would build up business if the merchants
prepare to supply the demands and advertise
that fact. Hampstead can be made larger
and better centre of trade just as well as
other towns have been made such, if the
merchants will carry the goods and let that
fact be known. People all along the line be.
tween Manchester and Glyndon would come
TO Hampstead much oftener if they could step
into a car and run in here for five cents than
they will if they have to hitch up a horse and
drive the distance, through mud or over
rough, frozen roads as is often the case.
The increase in the value of property along
the line in Hampstead and contiguous ter
ritory would be such as to justify any sacrifice
that it may be necessary TO make to get this
road and every citizen should put his shoulder
to the wheel and never let up till the sound of
the going announces the consummation OF
the desired end.

BIG REVENUE FRAUDS.
Capers Says U. s. Losses $1,000
900 A Year.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Investgations, which
have been instituted by Internal Revenue
John G. Capers, of the Treasury Department,
indicate that the Government is being de-
frauded of 81 ZOO, 900 annually by dishonest
dis,ilers in the South. 1t is estimated that
not more than IS per cent. of the liquor dis.
TILED in Virginia has paid revenue tax, and
the investigation also indicates frauds in other
Southern States.
More runs have been made in the stills
than the Government permits during speci-
fed time and double MASKING has been
resorted to in many cases. Ifany internal
revenues office employees are found to be i'm
plicated they will be promptly prosecuted,
and the investigation has been extended to
their work, as well as to the practice OF the
distillers. Commissioner Capers, speaking
of the fraud, said today: 81 am confident
from data now at hand that we have lost about
81, 900, 900 in Virginia alone, and that Is per
cent. of the whisky now being distilled in
that State is revenue free, owing to the trick,
cry of of certain distillers.
This condition was partly brought about
by the North Carolina law. which drove from
that State all distilleries situated in towns of
less than 10000 people. Instead of going
out of business the distilleries move over the
line into Virginia. We have already seized
four or five of the smaller Ones

it was 40 degrees.
The highest temperature was November
ID, 1879, when it was 80 degrees; the coolest,
November %, 1880, when it was IL degrees.
The earliest date of killing frost was
October 2, 1899; the latest. October 81.
The average precipitation is 2.7l inches, and
there is an average of ten days when the
precipitation is 001 OF an inch or more.
The grea er precipitation was in 1887, when
it reached total of 7.18 inches. The leas,
was 0. 70 inches, in 1890.
The average number of clear days is ten
