FEARFUL ECZEMA ALL OVER him.
No Nights Rest for Year and Limit
Of His Endurance Seemed Near
Owes Recovery To CuliCura.

MY son Clyde was almost completely
covered with eczema. Physicians treated
him for nearly year without helping him
any. His head, face, and neck were COW
cred with large sosbs which he would rub
until they fell off. Then blood and matter
would run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that il he
got well he would be disfgured for life.
When il seemed as II he could possibly
stand it no longer, used some Cuticura
Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura
Resolvent. That was the first night for
nearly year that he slept. In the morn.

Quarrymen's Superstition.

For many years past a curious sup
erstition has prevailed in the Car.
narvonshire slate Quarries with regard
to Ascension day. Fatal accidents
frequently happened in Tie quarries
on that day, and the men would not
venture into the workings, and for
many years the day, known locally as
Holy Thursday" was observed as a
holiday. While the superstition has
lost some of its hold on the bulk Of
the quarrymen, some hundreds of
them would not go near the quarries
on that day.-London Evening Stand

It's Stomach Cata,7h

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamentsl rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to Grange this personal
peeuliarity.
But there are large number OF peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Aeipose tissue is chiefly composed Of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly, the work of the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
tion Of acid. A hyperacidity OF the
digestive fluids Of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancrestic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fate are not di-
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived Of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning OF the trouble is q ca.
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation Of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, il the process OF digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates q
hyperscidity Of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pan
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose Of Peruna before each meal
hsstens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents Of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is tn Us
preserved in it's nornfar state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat q
sufficient amount Of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

} HOW TO SET
A BEAR TRAP

IL is not so complicated a task. to
set a bear trap successfully. The
guides OF New Brunswick may tell
you IL is, or their brothers OF the
Rockies may object 10 carrying a
heavy trap into a country where they
know good rife will be pretty sure
10 get your bear for you. But IL you
still insist on assuming the role OF
the trapper. IL only 20 test your wood
craft. then the first thing TO do is TO
get good trap. You will want No.
for grizzlies; No. 5 will do for
black bears. For the West your trap
should weigh not less than twenty
pounds, but for the bears down East
twelve or fifteen-pound trap will do
II IL has good springs.
1t is the usual thing TO build a
rough V-shaped pen in a windfall, To-
Gated, OF course, where bears are U.S.
ing, and place the bait in the small
end OF the V. This pen should be
constructed OF heavy logs and brush
picked up without any ak work, and
should preferably be in depression
OF the ground with a fairly open trail
leading into IL. IL is good plan TO
use a standing tree foot in diameter
for the back or inside end OF the
pen, and the walls should be jammed
tight against this tree and be belt
high at the tree.
Across the entrance of the pen.
| after the bait is In position, place an
old dead branch OF tree, one that is
comparatively straight and strong
and not more than two inches In
diameter Wedge II in firmly be-
tween the logs of the walls. This is
for the bear TO step over. and 1t
should be eight or ten inches above
the ground. About four or five inches
In front of II, on the inside. set your
trap, arranging il SO that when fully
| covered with earth the jaws will be
level with the firm ground. Be sure
that the trap is set with the open Jaws
extended lengthwise, opening right
and left, so the bear will put his foot
into II lengthwise. Otherwise his
foot would almost surely be thrown
out by one OF the jaws OF the trap
squarely upon the pan. The clog To
which the chain is fastened should be
short log OF sound, heavy hardwood,
about six inches in diameter, and this
| should not be fastened down. III the
bear gets away from the set without
smashing IL up II can be used again.
Some trappers place a row OF sharp
| ened sticks in the ground on either
side OF the entrance of the pen to
make the bear walk carefully in the
centre and step over the cross sticks
at just the right place.
Many persons object to the use OF
traps, and with good cause, since
trapping is neither kind nor sports
manlike. Nevertheless, after a man
has made one or two unsuccessful and
| expensive trips into the mountains
for a bear, he finds no difficulty in
excusing the use Of trap. And so
long as he does not kill deer, noun
tain goats, bighorn sheep or other
game for bait for his bear trap, he
need not entirely sacrifice his claim
TO being a sportsman. After all,
there Is not SO very much difference
between bringing grizzly to bay by
means OF trap and rounding him up
with a big pack OF hounds. From

in the history of the city. For one Of
flee only that of street commissioner
will there be any contest. The candi-

that there may be no cross fires ana
that the question of the election OF

by itself
Neither Of the street commissioner
candidates, Charles f. Pickering OF
Albert Z. Clary, were nominated III
the city caucus, where they appeareh
as the two leading candidates OF the
five voted for. Street Commissioner
Pickering failed by A votes of a ma

no nomination and he and Former
