life a most painful thing for me.

childhood, and did not like to think
that the beverage was doing me all this
harm. But it was, and the time came

Postum as my hot drink at meals.

condition very soon after I took on
Postum. The change proceeded grad

only few weeks before found my
self entirely relieved-the nervousness
passed away, my digestive apparatus
was restored to normal efficiency, and
began to sleep, restfully and peace
fully.
These happy conditions have con-

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH

"In Dowlais, South Wales, about fif-

the itch. Believe me, it is the most
terrible disease of its kind that
know of, as it itches all through your
body and makes your life an inferno.
Sleep is out of the question and you
feel as if million mosquitoes were
attacking you at the same time.

affected.

their remedies were of no avail what
ever. Then the families tried drug
gist who was noted far and wide for
his remarkable cures. People came
to him from all parts of the country
for treatment, but his medicine made
matters still worse, as last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment

The sultan, though he nominally exer-

There Is no danger of the line Of
sultans or inmans, as they are called,
dying out as there is a large royal

averse to facing the camera in their

tors endeavor to teach him Per-
sian, Arabic, history and writing,
but his attention is allowed to be
distracted by the Interruptions OF
the many chamberlains and cour-
tiers who are permitted to be
present. His only companions are
a few young slaves and there is
nothing being done to prepare him
for the lofty duties which he must
fulfill at an early date.
The throne and the many at
tendant ceremonies appealed to
him merely as parts of a new
game and he soon tired of the OBJ
seuuious homage with which he
was surrounded and to-day he is
no more than an unhappy child.

awaiting the voting of funds to
nut their intentions in execution.

oriental languages and history;

Of more suitable birth chosen from
the noble families of his kingdom.
All these advantages will be used
to transform him into a ruler such
as Persia ought to have to fifty re-

county commissioner and for years
wellknown Chicagoan, made balloon
ascension at county fair over in

that there was absolutely no danger.
But as the distance from the earth
grew greater the colonel leaned out
anxiously.
Pull me I'M" he shouted.
The men who were bailing out the
rope paid no heed to his demand.
Higher and higher went the balloon.
Wilder and wilder grew the colonel.

as he tried to keep a precarious bal
ance, he gave final cry of exas-
