SCRATCHED so SHE COULD

II write to tell you how thankful ]
am for the wonderful Cuticura Rem
edies. My little niece had eczema for
five years and when her mother died
took care of the child. 1t was all
over her face and body, also on her
head. She scratched so that she could
not sleep nights. l used Cuticura
Soap to wash her with and then APP
piled Cuticura Ointment. I did not
use quite half the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, together with Cuticura Re
solvent, when you could see change
and they cured her nicely. Now she
is eleven years old and has never been
bothered with eczema since. My
friends think it is just great the way
the baby was cured by Cuticura. /
send you a picture taken when she was
about IS months old.
''She was taken with the eczema
when two years old. She was covered
with big sores and her mother had all
the best doctors and tried all kinds of
salves and medicines without effect
until we used Cuticura Remedies. Mrs.

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, a 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.

Bills for Veterans.

Before the military committee of
the house of representatives there
are eight principal bills intended to
benefit the veterans of the civil war.
IN several of them there is a specific
provision for the creation of what is
called a volunteer retired list" for
the civil war officers, who are still
living.
In the Sixteenth congress Repre-
sentative Beeman G. Dawes of Ohio
introduced bill which il 1t had be-
come a law would rhave put all the
commissioned officers of the civil
war on the nstired list with month.
ly pay of one half that which they
received while they were wearing
swords In the Held. There Is a re-
tired list for Agular officers, and the
idea OF Representative Dawes was to
give to the volunteer officers In their
old age a recognition in part at least
OF the value of their services as com
missioned officers. The question
seemed to be, If the regulars are paid
after retirement, why not do the same
thing for the volunteers?
Representative Dawes is not now In
Congress. but the provision in his
bill which was intended to care for
the volunteer officers has been incor-
2orated IN several of the bills which
are now before the military commit
