IT had eczema on my hands for
about seven years and during that
time I had used several so-called rem
edies, together with physicians and
druggists prescriptions. The disease
was so bad on my hands that | could
lay slate-pencil in one of the cracks
and a rule placed across the hand
would not touch the pencil. l kept
using remedy after remedy, and while
some gave partial relief, none relieved
as much as did the first box of Cuti-
cura Ointment. l made a purchase OF
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and my
hands were perfectly cured after two
boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one
cake of Cuticura Soap were used. w.

new FOREST FIRES
SEVERAL TOWNS IN MAINE NOW
THREATENED BY THE BURN
ING TREES.
STATE ENVEL OPED BY SMOKE
An Army of Men Fighting Flames
Night and Day-Heavy Pail
yer Entire New Eng
land Coast.

Augusta Me, Sept. ia dense
pail of smoke that in many places OBJ
scured the setting sun or made it ap-
pear blood-red, enyeloped the state of
Maine Friday night as the result of
numerous forest fires that are devas-
tating thousands of acres of timber
lands, and causing grave anxiety for
the safety of the property in at least
IA towns in eight counties. Night and
lay large army of men are at work
in the effort to place the flames un-
der control The smoke is sitting and
the heat is such as to try the endur-
ance of the strongest and fresh re-
avs are constantly being dispatched
to the front. So far as known no
lives had been lost.
At Brooksville hundreds of men
were concentrated along the banks
of Meadow Brook, trying to keep the
flames from crossing that stream.
The fire, fed with the parched tim
Der of 100000 acres, advanced on
the village with a front four miles
wide Should the flames cross the
stream, not only the town of Brooks
vile itself but numerous villages will
probably be destroyed.
Boston, Mass, Sept. 19.-The smoke
from the many forest fires in the
north and west was so dense here
Friday that at times it was impossible
to see across the Charles river.
The heavy pail almost shut off sight
of the sun which appeared as a copper
hued ball. Navigation near the coast
is seriously handicapped by the smoke.
Albany, N. Y, Sept. 19.-Reports
of new forest fires in the Adirondacks
were received Friday by the state for
est fish and game commission. Rain
is badly needed to aid in the work of
controlling the fires and the scarcity
of available men to fight the flames
is proving serious handicap. Hunt
ers are charged with causing many
fires through negligence in failing to.
extinguish their camp fires.
New York, Sept. 19.-Severe storms
at sea, heavy fogs and a smoky haze
on the coast are playing havoc with
shipping schedules, both coastwise
steamers and transatlantic liners be-
ing seriously affected by the adverse
conditions. While the liners Celtic
and Pretoria, delayed on the way
down the coast, were able to get in
and up to their docks during the day,
some of the other big liners were not
so fortunate.
