Weddings at Summer Resort Hotels.

Taking the summer resort hoze1, af-
ter the regular vacatioHers have all
fed for home and turning it for few
days into private household for the
purpose of entertaining many guests
for a wedding, is a feature in this au-
tumn's weddings that invites favor
able comment. Most summer hotels
are in pleasant places, the beauties of
which do not wholly pass till long af-
ter the regular vacation season has
closed. For country fall weddings
many of these make ideal spots. There
is seclusion, comfort of the indoor and
outdoor kind, and no lack of attention,
as sometimes happens when several
parties require the service of a hotels
attendants. Besides, the wear and
tear on the hosts house, his house
hold, and all his belongings that fol-.
low in the wake of a large wedding
are saved. That argument must count
for much in these times.-Boston

BUY TORTURED BY AWFUL HUMOR
Almost Covered with Eczema-NO Nights Rest for Nearly a Year Feared Lifelong Disfgurement- All Treatments Failed and Limit of Endurance Seemed Near,
PERFECT RECOVERY
 IS DUE TO CUTlCURA

L "With the exception of his hands and feet, my son Clyde (thirteen years old) was almost completely covered with eczema. Physicians treated him for nearly a year without helping him any. While they were very kind and did all in their power, yet nothing seemed to re- lieve him. And I had tried many rem edies sent to me by kind friends but they all failed. His head, face, and neck were covered with large scabs which he would rub until they fell oR. Then blood ana matter would run out and that would oe worse. Many a time he looked as II ing to see him said that if he got well nc would be disfgured for life.
 "When it seemed as if he could pos sibly stand it no longer, decided % try Cuticura. I bought cake or Cutl- cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and a bottle of Cuticura Resolyent. l used them in the evening and that was the first night for nearly year that ne slept. This may sound exaggerated to YOU, but in the morning there was Q great change for the better. In abouo six weeks you could not have told that hehadever had anything wrong gwtth him. I treated him twice a day for six months and at present he has a fine complexion and not @ scar on his body. This story may seem overdrawn, but neither words nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering and how he looked. Our leading phy- sician, Dr. -, recommends the Cun- cura Remedies for eczema. Mrs. Aigy Cockburn, Shiloh, O., June II, l9O7.'
 Freouent shampoos with Cuticura Soap and weekly dressings with Cut" cura stop falling hair, remove crusts' scales, and dandruff, destroy hair para sites, soothe irritated, itching surfaces, stimulate the hair follicles, supply the roots with nourishment, loosen the scalp skin, and make the hair grow upon sweet, wholesome. healthy scalp, when all other remedies fail.

 W. H. Wood of 25O cottage St., Sa- lem.
