HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

II am man seventy years old. My

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

visitor, coming at once to the point,

Is In it?" he asked.

cial means. 1t was no use, for the
tion of mans tiny tickling. Since
then the government has been with
out faith in any scheme for rain-ma-
king.
1t is now held that the reason why
rain usually followed the great bat
ties of history is because whenever
possible the commanders moved their
armies and began battles when the
weather was fair. Rain falls on an
average of one day in three, so it is
no amazing matter that the clouds
should spill their contents about the
time one of those famous slaughters
would be over with.
Of course, the great men Of science
know that it is useless for man, with
his puny implements, to undertake to
bring about those stupendous changes
in nature necessary to produce the
phenomenon Of rain. It would be
necessary to lower the temperature OF
a vast area of the heavens, or saturate
such a region with moisture to obtain
results, and our means of accomplish
ment are too limited.
Though our government has lost
faith in rain-making, however, the
Italians seem to be quite confident
that in one way, at least, bombarding
the clouds is productive of good re
suits. In all the vineyards of that
sunny land there may be seen curious
funnelshaped guns pointing to the
sky. Hail storms form one Of the
chief dangers to the grape crop in thai
country, and the Italians believe thai
the firing of these guns prevents sucf
destructive visitations by dissipatinG
the clouds which give them birth.

Washington.-Recently when fire

the west, leaving death and destruc-
ton in it's wake, the despairing peo-
pie appealed to the war department to
lombard the skies and bring a much
needed rain. For obvious reasons
their request was refused. Uncle Sam,
a few years ago, spent large sums of
money experimenting along this line,
sending up bombs and firing cannon
at the skies to produce rain by artif-

ChildIike Ignorance.

Laura Jean Libbey, discussing in
Brooklyn her successful appearance
on the stage, said:
II talk in my monologue about love,
marriage and the other interests OF
the heart. On these subjects women,
especially young women, are strangely
ignorant
They really make me think, you
know, Of the little girl who was asked
by her teacher:
"'What can you tell us about Solo

Solomon replied the little girl
was very fond Of animals

A TRAIN LOAD OF. TOBACCO.

Twenty-four Carloads Purchased for
Lewis Single Binder Cigar
Factory.
What is probably the biggest lot Of
all fancy grade tobacco held by any
factory in the United States has just
been purchased by Frank P. Lewis, of
Peoria, for the manufacture of Lewis
Single Binder Cigars. The lot will
make twenty-four carloads, and is Sc
lected from what is considered by ex.
perts to be the finest crop raised in
many years. The purchase of tobacco
is suf1 to last the factory more
than two years. An extra price was
paid for the selection. Smokers OF

ciate this tobacco.

HOW ONE TOWN KEEPS CLEAN

Almost as an echo of our editorial
last week came the following copy of
an ordinance IL another little city,
sent by friend who suggests that
it would give good many people new
IDEAS as TO what is really meant by
keeping a town clean:-
mo person shall throw or sweep in
to, or place, or drop and suffer to re-
main in any street, any piece Of hoop,
board. wood, wire, paper, bottle. bot
ties, or glass, or any nail, tack sweep
irgs, sawdust, SCOT, ashes, cinders,
shavings, hair. cloth, manure, oyster
she'll, clam shell, lobster shell, card,
handbil or rubbish or filth of any
kind. or any noxious or refuse liquid
or solid matter or substance"
The fine for violation of the ordi-
nance is $25. and 1t applies not only
to the person committing the offense
but to his employer, and to any one
else concerned in the offense.
Wouldn't an ordinance like this
properly enforced, do almost as much
for the looks Of this town as any
thing else we could think of?
