ONE OF ADAMS TROUBLES
incident in the Garden Of Eden That
Must Be Taken for What
1t Is Worth.

Rev. Dr. Charles Townsend of
Orange was one of the speakers at the
Park Presbyterian Church Mems club
banquet last week, and told this story
of one of the troubles of the original
ancestor:
"Adam had eaten the elaborate re-
past furnished by his helpmeet with
every indication that he relished each
morsel. He complimented her upon
the dainty manner in which the blue
points were served, the flavor of the
puree of pea, the seasoning of the fish
and entree, and finally reached a de-
licious salad. Adam paused, and with
a worried look on his face he de-
manded of Eve where she found the
ingredients. She enumerated all ex-
cept the lettuce.
"'Where did you get those leaves"
he demanded.
"Why, they were lying on a bush
in the back yard she replied, sweetly.
"'Well, those were my best Sunday
trousers, sobbed Adam, adding. 'Ah,
woe is man. which was corrupted into
woman, the term by which we know

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in doctor.
He said 1t was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
FINALLY 1 got set of the Cuticura
Remedies and l am pleased to say
we did not use all of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and half to see If it would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as it possibly could
be. l hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

counterfelters in WASHINGTON.

1t seems that Washington has been
harboring a snug little nest of coun-
terfeiters for some time. The money
that has been passing about the city
has fallen into the hands usually of
newsboys, fruit dealers and that class
of easiest prey to deceive with small
change. The dimes and nickels are
so crudely stamped that they ought
not to deceive a child, and yet it is
thought that the passage of this class
of counterfeit money had reached
large proportions. Several Italians
have been arrested.

letters written by Martha Washington

the other applying to the govern

The house has voted an appropria-
ton of $2,5O0 to have these historic

letters read as follows:

very greatly impaired my health, and
by the advice of my physician I have
come over to Germany to try the min

to Italy.

me to take advantage of the urgent ad-
vice given me. nor can I live in a style
