HABYS ITCHING HUMoR.
Nothing Would Help Him-Mother Al most in Despair-Owes Quick
 Cure to Cuticura.

Several months ago, my little boy began to break out with itching sores. l doctored him, but as soon as I got them healed up in one place they would break out in another. I was almost in despair. I could not get anything that would help him. Then 1 began to use Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment, and after using them three times, the sores commenced to heal. He is now well, and not a scar is left on his body. They have never returned nor left him with bad blood, as one would think. Cuticura Reme- dies are the best I have ever tried, and I shall highly recommend them to any one who is suffering likewise. Mrs. William Geeding, 102 Washing ton St., Attica, Ind, July P. 1907."

ASTONISHED THE DOCTOR Old Lady Got We'll with Change of
 Food.

A great scientist has said we can put soff ''old age" if we can only nourish the body properly.
 To do this the right kind of food, of course, is necessary. The body manu- factures poisons in the stomach and intestines from certain kinds of food sstuffs and unless sufficient of the right kind is used, the injurious elements overcome the good.
 My grandmother, Fl years old" writes a N. Y. lady, had been an in valid for IS years from what was called consumption of the stomach and bowels. The doctor had given her up to die.
 q saw so much about Grape-Nuts that I persuaded Grandmother to try it. She could not keep anything on her stomach for more than few minutes.
 ''She began Grape-Nuts with only a teaspoonful. As that did not distress her and as she could retain it, she took little more until she could take all of teaspoonfuls at a meal.
 "Then she began to gain and grow strong and her trouble in the stomach was gone entirely. She got to enjoy good health for one so old and we know Grape-Nuts saved her life.
 "The doctor was astonished that in- stead of dying she got we'll and with out a drop of medicine after she began the Grape-Nuts." There's a Reason" |"

Four-year-old Clyde was preco- cious youngster-yer talkative and a close observer. He and his father were strolling through the meadows one morning when Clyde observed, for the first time, some tadpoles in a pond. He waded in and cried out in delight: "Oh, father, what are they?"
 'Tadpoles, son." the father replied.
 Please, father, let's take them all home with us, then come back and find the mamma and papa, and we'll have the whole family in our pond at home"
 The father explained how impossi- ble this would be, and as he walked on few steps large ugly frog hoped across their path. Clyde's father said: Look, son, perhaps there is the papa" !"
 Clyde was very thoughtful. He looked at the frog, then at his father, then at himself and exclaimed:

Of goods as quartermaster of the de- partment of San Francisco amounted to about $2,50O,o00 At San Francisco Maj. Devol purchased everything need ed for the United States army of the Pacific coast, of Alaska and in the Philippines. To take these supplies 15 transports, some of which had been Atlantic liners, were employed.
 When San Francisco was shaken by the earthquake and ravaged by the great fire Maj Devol took complete charge of all the supplies donated by the states to supply the wants of the 300,000 homeless, hungry people. He organized and distributed these sup plies to all parts of the city.
 For this work he was made a mem Der of the army general staff, on which he served until he was ordered to the isthmus in June.
 As chief quartermaster for the canal commission Maj. Devols work com pines the departments of labor and quarters that of material and supplies, and a portion of the work formerly done by the sanitary department. The value of the stock to be carried by the chief quartermaster will be about $3,000,000, and his work will be to care for and repair the commission quarters, to do police work, to secure the labor necessary for the canal work and to transport it to the isthmus. The total expenditure of Maj, Devors department for the year ending June 1909, will probably be about $3,000,000.
