CURE AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case Of Scabies-Body Mass
Of Sores from Scratching-tier
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.

"A young woman came to our city
mission in most awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and
told us that she had scabies (the itch),
incipient paresis, rheumatism. ETC.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass of sores from scratch
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven
weeks but we could see little improve
ment. One day 1 bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent. and we bathed our
patient well and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that
night and the next day / got box of
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for a
position, and sheds now strong and well.

NOT A MIRACLE.
Just Plain Cause and Effect.

There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day. which
seem almost miraculous.
wSome persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink
ing so severely as to cause spells of
Inconsistencies. And to find complete
relief In changing from coffee to Pos
tum is well worth recording.
Il used to be great coffee drinker,
so much so that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak l
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or three times a
day.
my friends, and even the doctor,
told me it was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. would not be-
lieve 1t, and still drank coffee until /
could not leave my room.
"Then my doctor, who drinks Pos
tum himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee and try Postum. After much hest
tation / concluded to try it. That was
eight months ago. Since then | have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
Il feel better, sleep better and am
better every way. / now drink moth
ing but Postum and touch no coffee,
and as 1 am seventy years of age all
my friends think the improvement
quite remarkable"

Game Youngster Preferred Drastic
Action In Punishment.

Youngsters are pretty philosoph-

then he went ahead to set forth the
point of view Of small daughter at
his house.
The child was sent to bed early
the other evening as punishment for
some act contrary to rules and regula-
tons
After she had been tucked In bed
for some time and was supposedly
asleep, the youngster called her IA
Their and told him she wished he would
go ahead and spank her and have it
over with, instead of sending her off
to bed that way. This lying in bed
never's going to make me any better"
she said, "and good spanking would.

20 feet. Elaborate plans were made
by the association for the exercises
which marked the formal recognition
by the state of New Jersey of this his
torical landmark.
On behalf of the state, the principal
address was made by Gov. Fort. Other
prominent persons, representing the
York and all the principal revolution
airy societies, took part in the cere-
monies.
The monument is In q park, and
stands on a point where the original
outer works of the old fort were stu
ated. The monument will also mark
what Is said to be the original camp
occupied by Gen. Lee as his headquar-
tiers and the site where Morgan's Vir-
ginia riflemen were encamped. The
fort played an important part In the
movements of the revolutionary army,
but no battle of Importance was
fought there.
Many persons believe that the old
fort and camp at Fort Lee were on
the Palisades bluff, overlooking the
Hudson river, but this is not the fact,
The monument cannot be seen from
the Hudson river. 1t was to guard a
ravine leading up the Palisades that
the fort was erected, and 1t was stu
ated inland for strategical reasons.
Fort Lee is full of traditional revo-
lutionary history. The ruins of the
stone huts which were used by Nor
gan's men in their stay at Fort Lee
are still to be seen, and the Fort Lee
association will take steps to preserve
them. In these huts the hardy and
determined patriots, with constitutions
that defied weather and hardships,
slept in the cold nights of October and
November, 1776. Another reminder OF
the period is the old stone bake oven
found on the premises of the Belvi
dere hotel, and which for years has
been properly labeled and protected
1t was in this stone oven that bread
for the revolutionary soldiers was
baked.
Fort Lee has one tradition handed
down from the revolution lndt mas al
ways afforded food for discussion. II
is relative to Dead Brook and how the
little stream received such name
One story Is that Hessian soldier
was shot by scout while crossing the
brook. Another authority says thai

and not relishing 1t went further up
