ITCHING HUMOR
 ON LITTLE BOY
His Hands were a Solid Mass, and
 Disease Spread All Over His Body -In Four Days the Child was Entirely Cured-MOther Strongly
RECOMMENDS CUTICURA
 SOAP AND OINTMENT

cone day we noticed that our littla boy was all broken out with itching sores. We first noticed it on his little hands. His hands were not as bad then, and we didn't think anything serious would result. But the next day we heard of the Cuticura Remedies being % good for itching sores, etc., that thought I would get them. By this time the disease had spread all over his body, and his hands were nothing but a solid mass of this itching disease. went to the drug store and purchased 6 box of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment, and that night I stripped my little boy and took the Cuticura Soap and lukewarm water and washed him well. Then dried him with e soft bath towel, and took the Cuticura Ointment and rubbed him thoroughly with it. did this every evening before put him to bed and in three or four nights he was entirely cured. You have my permission to publish this because anybody who suf- kered as my baby did ought to know of the Cuticura Remedies. will surely and gladly recommend the Cuticura Remedies, for they are godsend to all suffering with skin diseases.

From human standpoint 1t was natural-from the spiritual. 1t was an error. and If continued will be q religious demeanor.
 We have 7s children in the Home; to care for them. we have to provide for s. including 3 coIored servants at a cost per capita of s5.0s per month. or sfs0.oo total for each month that we keep open. With the advance In pro- visions and the cost of labor. this ex- penditure of s5.0s per month appeals to any one as economical and min mum expense that but. few families obtain with all their efforts to live cheap.

An Appeal To The
 Methodists Of ALnbnn7n

Brother Jones never fails to close his years labor with an amount sufh- cient to defray running expenses No one man in the state has worked hard CT. or done more for the cause than he. Brother Mathison is a man of gentle Christian spirit, loves the work. is a successful solicitor. and has under phanage-
 taken this special work of love at small percentage-postiveiy without risk or expense to the Orphanage-oft- en at loss to himself. and as he is now free from all other duties, he will doubtless prove of great service to Brother Jones and the cause.
 Brothers Jones and Mathison. having mapped out their territory. we beg for them and for the Alabama Methodist orphanage. a prompt and liberal re- sponse to their appeals.

 Tn other counties there was more rivalry and so close were the offers of endowment bK some communities. if fs understood, that. the commission found itself in the difficulty of hav- ing to put by one good thing to take up better thing. The delegations made generous offers to the State and the zeal sof sthe communities they rep resented to obtain the schools is re- ported to have been most gratifying.
 Enterprise, in Coffee county. is go- ing to build a house that will cost xSb.- poo. Enterprises chief rival was Elba.
 In Etowah Atalia which had fierce competition will build house to cost 15.0O0. while in Jackson Scottsboro stakes s25 .000 in the building.
