TOLD TO USE CUTICURA

After Specialist Failed to Cure Her
Intense Itching Eczema - Had
Been Tortured and Disfigured but
Soon Cured of Dreadful HumOr.
81 contracted eczema and suffered
intensely for about ten months. AT
times l thought l would scratch my
self to pieces. My face and arms were
covered with large red patches, so that
l was ashamed to go out. l was adj
vised to go to a doctor who was spe-
cialist in skin diseases, but l received
very little relief. l tried every known
remedy, with the same results. L
thought | would never get better until
a friend of mine told me to try the
Cuticura Remedies. So 1 tried them,
and after four or five applications of
Cuticura Ointment l was relieved Of
my unbearable itching. l used two
sets of the Cuticura Remedies, and L
am completely cured. Miss Barbara

Vanity off COnvicts.


'SThe vaineSt lot of men l ever did
marked a convict in the penitentiary.
For fastidious dressing and cleanli-
ness 1 have never seen anything like
it. Those who have been accustomed
to sIeeking up on the outside grow
much worse in here, and those who
never even combed their hair on the
outside have it as cleanly parted as
they can. know of a hundred in
stances where convictS have risked be-
ing padded or having time taken
away just for the sake of shaving.
They get hold Of razor or improvise
one and keep it in their cells. They
all have mirrors in their cells along
with the calendars.
II know of one instance of trust
ed prisoner who begged for weeks to
be allowed to wear a hat instead Of
the prison cap because he thought he
cid not look well in it. Whenever they
get an opportunity they press their
trousers. They save collars for Sun
days and appear very clean and neat
and nice in chapel. 1 guess it is all
because they have time to think about
themselves more than ever. If a man
has nothing but himself to think about
maybe they want something with which
to pass away the time in their cells"

French Oyster Gatherers.

The work of oyster collecting and
culture is most unsuitable for women.
but in France, owing to its tedious ma
ture, it does not appeal to men. Often
from an early hour in the morning till
late in the evening the women are
standing up to the knees in water,
with a strong sun beating down on
them. The result is that never a year
passes without some of them, going
mad and having to be hurried away to
the asylum. The work is well paid,
as, indeed, it ought to be, while in the
case of the few who own beds the
profits are large, and small fortunes
are quickly amassed.
