Burning, Painful Sores on Legs
Tortured Day and Night-Tried
Many Remedies to No Avail
Cured by Cuticura.

after an attack of rheumatism,
running sores broke out on my hus-
bands legs, from below the knees to
the ankles. There are no words to
tell all the discomforts and great suf-
fering he had to endure night and day.
He used every kind of remedy and
three physicians treated him, one after
the other, without any good results
whatever. One day 1 ordered some
Cuticura Soap. Cuticura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent. He began
to use them and jig three weeks all the
sores were died up. The burning fire
stopped, and the pains became bear
able After three months he was quite
well. I can prove this testimonial at

BUSINESS MANAGER FOR CHURCH.
Cleveland Institution Plans to Try .
New System.

The Epworth Memorial Methodist
church in Cleveland has decided to try
a new system of church management.
A business manager has been APP
pointed who will give his entire time
and attention to the finances of the
church. AS executive secretary he
will collect the benevolences, dues of
members, subscriptions, ETC., and pay
all expenses. He will serve as Sec
rotary OF the standing committees Of
the church and keep a record of their
business for transmission to the off,
cial board. This, it Is expected. will
leave the pastor free to give atten-
ton to the larger plans of the work
and to his pulpit and pastoral duties.
Epworth Memorial has the largest
membership of all the Protestant
churches in the city. 1t has an ex-
tenSive charity work and handles over
$35 600 in contributions every year
DR.. G. K. Morris, district superin-
tendent, strongly commends the in
novation. ITO my mind he says, ut

NEW YORK feels more than mere
IN ly curious interest in the oft-re-
peated prediction that the coal mines
of the country will be exhausted in an
other hundred years, for the city is the
greatest coal consumer in the world
According to statistics recently col
lected the metropolis uses 25,OOO,OOO
tons annually and requires the serv-
ices of $4,000 men to keep itself
warmed and lighted. More than
$3.50 .OOO, 900 is invested in the business
of supplying New York residents with
coal. and 1000 barges and $50 tugs
are kept busy transporting it about the
harbor. These barges average in ca
pacity from $50 to 1900 tons, and in
them there is always afloat more than
1.5OO.0 tons. Every day there is
loaded into barges in the harbor of
New York more coal than is used in
a year throughout the empire of China.
Last year the wharves in the city
handled %, 900 tons and this year
the total promises to run we'll above

Ever since the passage of the pure
food law, manufacturers have COM
planned of the injustice Of denying
them the use of the small amount of
personalities necessary to keep GER
tain kinds of food products from fer
mentation or other form of deteriora-
ton. Prof Wiley of the bureau of
chemistry in the department of agri-
culture has appointed pure food COM
mittee, to represent the different
states having pure food laws, the OBJ
tect of which will be to harmonic the
state laws with the laws Of the gov
eminent. The committee will also,
without doubt, define what is a safe
amount OF preservative to be used. 1t
is said that there has been an increase
OF ptomaine-poisoning since the pure
food law went into effect. but perhaps
the statement like some OF the food
products, can best be taken with a
grain OF salt--or of boracic acid.

five signs by which to detect the
school to which a painter belongs:
ID If he paints the sky gray and the

l Increase in the number of college
degrees may not in itself be a good
sign. The progressive decrease since
1900 OF the number OF medical diplo-
mas awarded means a great gain in
the quality of the men intrusted with
the health of their fellow men. In
1906 over $4,000 men and women re-
ceived the degree NJ. d. In 1907 the
number dropped thousand. and this
year the decrease was sixteen hun
dred. During the year several medical
schools not in good repute were
closed. Most of the great medical
colleges require an A. b. degree or it's
equivalent for entrance. ''Half-baked"
professional men are no use to the
community, and even when the stan
dards OF the medical schools are high,
there will be plenty OF incompetent
men in the profession.

The present tremendous anti-spiritual
movement imports intellectual suicide.
Practical godliness, the life of selfshness
or superfciality, is not new. Every age has
been burdened by the multitude who seem
not to know or care if they have a spiritual
nature or possibility. But to-day this takes
shape in definite teaching, both through
the philosophy of profound and scholarly
Marx, and in the vigorous propaganda of
materialistic socialism, which wipes God
and the soul life off the board as negligible
factors.

Martin Banes is track-walker on
the New Orleans & Northeastern rail
road. and he recently had an exciting
race with a special train which he is
not likely to forget. Martin has track
tricycle. and his employment Is to
guard the long trestle over Lake Pont-
chartrain. and to follow all trains, so
as to extinguish whatever Goals may
have dropped from the engine in its
transit across the trestle.
One evening about six O'Clock he
started out. and when about two
miles out on the trestle he heard the
ominous rumbling of wheels. No train
was scheduled for that hour, and
hence no danger was apprehended.
But train was certainly coming, and
It suddenly flashed upon his mind that
it was a special.
A desperate contest then followed
between muscle and steam. The peril
of the track-walker urged him to
superhuman efforts in plying the tri-
cycle so as to reach a point Of safety.
The race was a very short one, how
ever. The engine gained and present
ly there was a bump and the track
walker found himself clinging to the
cow-catcher Fortunately the engineer
had noticed the obstacle in the gloom
and had slackened speed. so the track
walker escaped with some severe
bruises. although the tricycle. was
completely wrecked.
It was a terrible scare, however. and
now the trackwalker never ventures
out, even in daylight, without Ian
