SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in Cuticura.

"Our son, two years old, was afflicted
with a rash. After he suffered with
the trouble several weeks l took him
TO the doctor but 1t got worse. The
rash ran together and made large
blisters. The little fellow didn't want
to do anything but scratch and we had
to wrap his hands up to keep him
from tearing the flesh open till the
blood would run. The itching was in
tense. The skin on his back became
hard and rough like the bark OF n
tree. He suffered intensely for about
three months. But ! found remedy
In Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint.

WORTH KNOWING.
simple Remedy That Anyone Can Pre-
pare at Home.

Most people are more or less sub.
ject to coughs and colds. A simple
remedy that will break up cold
quickly and cure any cough that is
durable Is made by mixing two ounces
of Glycerine. half-ounce of Virgin
Oil of Pine compound pure and eight
ounces of pure Whisky. You can get
these in any good drug store and cas-
lily mix them in large bottle. The
mixture is highly recommended by
the Leach Chemical Co. Of Cincinnati,
who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil OF
Pine compound pure for dispensing.

Not Her First Purchase.

This is baby story they tell out a,
Beloit: A woman called at dry
goods store to look at some baby
dresses. The clerk showed her a line
valued at five dollars each. and talked
volubly about how proud" the moth
er ought to be over the baby. He
suggested that possibly she might
want more expensive dress.
But the mother did not seem to
"enthuse" a bit over the clerks gush.
How many children have you?"
asked the clerk. cautiously.
"Oh. this is the eleventh." she re.
piled, carefully scanning the price
tags.
And out came line of baby dresses
with more modest list Of prices

of many thousands Of dollars.

About dusk Chattanooga was lost
on the wire running south from Louis
vile via Nashville and had to be pick
ed up from Memphis. The local oper-
ator heard the faint words: Terrific
storm here-black as night-hail fall
ing" and then the saunders ceased to
record. Knoxville was lost similarly
shortly after that, but later both
towns were looped in when conditions
there ceased in violence.
In Louisville the entire day was
dark and rainy, but there was no init
nation of cyclone or of heavy wind.
Seven Are Killed.
