HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

Il am a man seventy years old. Ny
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch, burn and ache
SO that I could not sleep and could do
but little work. They were so bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till I got the Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. About year
ago my daughter got a cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and one box of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time 1 began to use them my hands
were all healed up and they have not
been a mite, sore since. 1 would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
tThey also cured a bad sore on the
hand of one of my neighbor's children,
and they think very highly of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So Eff

the money unearthed was found in the
yard, more of it in the cellar and
roll containing $4,000 was found in an
old mattress just before it was con-
signed to the flames. Mrs. Ross, one
Of his daughters, was searching for
the hidden treasure in the cellar and
found buried can which contained
$4,000. In an old can which was
buried in the yard $4,000 more was
found.

Treatment for IUnn law

Lump jaw is due to a fungus which
is usually taken into the animals sys-
tenn in feed consumed. Lump jaw is
liable to affect the glands of the
throat or the bones of the head, writes
DR.. David Roberts in American Gull
tivator. 1t is not advisable to keep
an animal thus afflicted lingering in
herd. On the other hand it is adj
visable to either treat such an animal
or kill it, as such animals invite dis
eases into the herd, owing to the fact
that they are so reduced in vitality
that they have no resisting power.
A remarkably large per cent of such
cases can be successfully treated if
taken in time by opening up the en-
largement and washing it out with a
strong antlseptic solution, like five of
carbolic acid in water, and putting the
animals on tonic. In this way the
afflicted animal is not only saved but
the entire herd is protected against
disease.

Another point which !. not usua1Ix |

Another point which Il not usually
touched upon in the book of etiquette
Is the one of physical cleanliness, for
1t is impossible to be clean within and
dirty without-quite impossible to be
lady or gentleman with finger nails
in mourning and little ears all but
ready for the growing of spring
seeds The girl or boy, then, who is
no brought up to love cleanliness
next to goodness has small chance of
social success either now or later on.

Childish peace and pleasure than to be
dubbed dirty" child by ones school
mates With the flower plot in the
ears. and the nails in mourning, the
finest dress or suit is hollow mock
cry The child has only borrowed the
shadow of polite society, and not its
substance.
Many other things of equally trifing
nature stamp the properly brought up
CHILD, but as they are too numerous to
renuop at length let me emphasize
the fundamental qualities required:
The wellbred child is soft-voiced.
modest and tender-hearted 1t re-
spects the opinion of elders 1t is con-
siderate of all the old and for persons
in inferior position. 1t accepts and
adores quiet dress-thinks little in
deed about dress, unless the thing
concerns neatness. 1t honors it's
father and mother and all other per-
sons in authority over it. 1t is wise
in matters that concern the welfare of
Its body and soul, and yet as chaste in
spirit as little flower
And how is all this to be accom-
plished? By the mother leaving no
ste ne unturned to win her child's con-
fidence; by both parents being truth
FIJI with it in all matters; by their set
ting forth with every hour, in word

Day by day the parents must say to
themselves, Il am training heart and
soul which belong to- themselves and
to the great thing which 1 do not I'M
derstand- l must be good, good my
self, for their sakes."
Let the mammieS and daddies, then,
look first to their own notes in the
way of spiritual and polite conduct,
and heaven, or the blessed Providence
that stands for it, will take care of
the nicely trained little kiddie that the
world calls old-fashioned

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming, but, in reality, the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour, suggested that my wife
try him on Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk This baby
ute so ravenous1y that she fixed a Sec
ond which he likewise finished
1T was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed, and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
1--WE have put before him other
foods, but he will have none of them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him so much good-his old
friend Grape-Nuts.
use tnlS ietIer any way you WISH,
for my wife and can never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after the bright
ness it has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts is not made for a baby
food, but experience with thousands of
babies shows it to be among the best,
If not entirely the best in use. Being
a scientific preparation of Natures
grains, it is equally effective as body
and brain builder for grown-ups.

Shoe Pointer.

A shoe to fit a normal foot should be
straight along the inner border in or
der to accommodate the large toe,
and it should have an outward curve
on the outside of the foot in order to
correspond to this contour. The sole
should be fiat. The heel should be
low and broad. The high, narrow
heel does a great deal of injury to the
foot. The sole should project slightly
beyond the toes and be broad enough
to accommodate them. The upper
part of the shoe should be easy over

more cause for embarrassment, and,
pushing a curtain to one side, stood
before the artist at work, who, look
iIg at her absentmindedly, said:
"These lines seem to be all right.
What do you say?" And to her
murmured response he went on:
But the eyes Of the nuns do not
suit me. Pray sit down moment.

down and acted as model for an
hour and a half, during which

abruptly, took off his glasses, peered
at his handsome model and said,
