The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is atleast
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure IN all its stages,
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh
Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being a constitutional dis
ease, reqnires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing Its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative
powers that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

The Poultry Industry.

1t is fact not generally known that
of all farm products poultry stands fifth
in value. 1t is estimated that the cash
derived from the sale of poultry and eggs
amounts to half billion dollars annual
". 1t is believed that this amount is
being rapidly increased each year. due to
the fact that farmers are beginning to
realize the profits there are in a well
cared for flock of hens. When all poul-
try keepers fully appreciate how easy it
is to increase the productiveness of their
fowls, it is fair to assume that this
branch of farm products will advance
well toward first place in relative value.
The following letter from c. D. Chatter
ton of West Brookfeld, Vt, indicates the
way in which some are increasing their
egg production. He says: Il have used
Pages Perfected Poultry Food for the
last two years, and got one third more
eggs than before. can't get along
without it."
II you want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it, write
to c. S. Page Hyde Park, VT, for his
booklet, profitable Poultry" 1t will
be sent free, postpaid, to anyone men
tioning this paper.

Rational Cure for Eczema.
No More Dosing the Stomach-Cure the Skin
Through the Skin.

When you have scratch on your hand
YOU wash it out and cleanse it and then
the skin cures itself You do not take
blood medicine to cure a festered wound.
The best skin specialists today are
agreed that the only way to cure the skin
is through the skin.
The fact that eczema is a skin disease
and not blood disease is evident from
statistics which show that nearly all
eczema sufferers are perfectly healthy IN
all other ways except as to their skin
If the eczema patients were really suffer
ing from an inward malady, the entire
body and not only the skinwould be dis
eased.
You can prove Immediately the relief
of true skin cure by using oil OF win
tergreen as compounded in D. D. d. Pre-
scription.
This liquid attacks the disease germs,
numbing them while building up the
healthy tissue ofthe skin. We have now
handled this meritorious and thoroughly
scientific remedy for so long and have
seen its reliable result so many times that
we freely express our confidence.

1.-The Devil" Coming.

THE Devil. which will be the attrac-
tion at Stanley Opera House on Friday,
Dec. 4, is an adaptation from Hungari-
an drama, Der Tuefel,' that for the
past year has scored wonderful success
in every important capital of Europe,
and since August last has been the one
big theatrical sensation of New York
city.
In no way does the drama resemble
Faust, some people imagining that it is
simply version of Faust under another
name, but is an original modern drama,
pointing a moral and expOunding a
lesson in uprightness that is timely and
to the point. The company coming here
is under the direction of W. c. Mckay,
who has gathered together an acting
contingent of sterling quality, including
Henry 7. Crossen, a young American
actor, who portrays the role of "The
Devil Miss Edythe Winchester, former
ly of the famous Tannhauser Stock
Company of Milwaukee, " H. BUTLER,
last season with the road production OF
The Great Divide, Miss Alice Clement,
formerly with Sky Farm, and Miss
Rita Vernon from the we'll known Castle
Square Theatre Stock Company The
other members of the company are OF
equal high standing in their profession.

Tribute TO DR.. Fuller.

The November number of the Journal
of the Worcester Polytechnic Institute
contains a most appreciative tribute to
the late DIR. Homer T. Fuller, the first
president of that institute and principal
of st, Johnsbury Academy from 1871 to
1882. Among the resolutions passed
by the Alumni Association are these.
which would refer just as properly to
the constructive work he did at our
Academy as at his later position in
Worcester:
His zeal for his work, his unhagging
application to the trying tasks of
directing a growing institution will
always be remembered among those of
us who came under him.
"Most of all we were impressed by his
clean, upright, answering Christian
character. He was the kind of man who
had but to see his duty clearly before
him to apply himself with all his energies
to an unhinching performance of the
work"
