turned down in Bon Homme coun-

conscience does not bother them to

For you can easily learn, with a little practice,
TO write just as rapidly, and as perfectly, as an
expert operator on the Oliver. Because the
Oliver is the simplified typewriter. And you
can see every word you write. About so per
cent more durable than any other typewriter,
because it has about 80 per cent less wearing
points than most other typewriters..
90 per cent easier to write with than these
other complicated intri, ate machines that
require ''humoring''-technical knowledge
long practice and special skill to operate.
Than machines which cannot be adjusted to
any special s%pace-withw which it is impossible
TO write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd
sized documents except you buy expensive
special attachments requiring experts to
operate.
spnce-you can write on any reasonable size
and thickness Of paper, right out to the edge,
with out the aid of any expensive attach
meut or special skill, and your work will be
neat appearing, legible and clear.

The first Of the year a new order
Of the postotfice department goes
into effect. this will require pub
fishers Of newspapers to pay one
cent per copy on all subscriptions
to a daily newspaper two months or
over in arrears. or when a week
ly edition is one year or more in
arrears-in place Of preparing the
postage at one cent per pound; if a
publisher has many Of these sub
scribers in arrears he is liable to
lose the right to send any Of his
papers thru the mails at the
pound rate.
The enforcement of this order
will increase the cost of the daily
in the neighborhood of three dol
lars per year, where not paid in adj
vance, and of the weekly fifty cents
per year; the publisher cannot
stand this, and it is too much for
the subscribers to pay.
This item shonld be a notice to
every subscriber to see that his
subscription is paid up within the
limit allowed by the postal authori-
ties, and kept up-if he. wishes to
secure the paper at the regular SUBJ
scription rates.
Print paper is twenty-five per-
cent higher than last year; labor
is more expensive, and if this post.

IT SEEMED INcURABLE
Body Raw with Eezema-Diseharged from Hospitals as Hopeless-Cutl-
 cura Remedies Cured Him.

From the age of three months until fifteen years old, my son Owens life was made intolerable by eczema in it's worst form. In spite of treatments the disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw He used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep and the agony he went through is quite beyond words The regimental doctor pronounced the case hopeless. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases ever admitted. From each he was discharged as in eurable. We kept trying remedy after remedy, but had gotten almost past hoping for cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cutieura Remedies. The result was truly mar yelous and to-day he is perfectly cured. Mrs Lily Hedge. Camblewell Green, England, Jan. F, 1907.''
