 Relieved, Bobby went ahead with the preparations for turning the Ap- plerod Addition into money. and though he saw the water creeping mp steadily against the other side of his wall, he displayed no anxiety until it had reached within three or four inches of the top.

ITCHING OF SCALP
INTOLERABLE
Nearly Wild with Painful, Burning
Eruption Half Her Hair Fell Out
and Combing 1t Was Torture
Feared She Would be Bald.
IN DESPAIR UNTIL
CURED BY eUTICURA

Just about two years ago, some form
OF humor appeared on my scalp. The
beginning was q slight itching but it
grew steadily worse until, when combed
my hair, the scalp became raw and the
ends of the comb-teeth would be wet
an intolerable itching, in q painful,
burning way, very much as bad, raw
burn, If deep, will itch and smart when
first beginning to heal. Combing my
hair was positive torture. My hair was
long and tangled terribly because OF the
blood and scabs.. This continued grow
ing worse and over half my hair fell
out. / was in despair, really afraid Of
becoming totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was 80 great
that, when partially awake, / would
scratch the worst places 50 that my fin
ger-tips would be bloody. / could not
sleep well and, after being asleep short
time, that awful stinging pain would
commence and then / would wake up

said it must be salt rheum. Having
used Cuticura Soap merely as toilet
soap before, now decided to order

weeks, then left of, as the disease seemed
to be eradicated. But toward spring,
eighteen months ago, there was slight
return Of the scalp humor. I COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at once,

/ used about one half cake of Cuticura
Soap and half box Of Cuticura Oint-
ment in all. The first time took six
or seven bottles Of Cuticura Pills and
the last time three bottles-neither an
expensive or tedious treatment. Since
then have had no scalp trouble Of any
kind. Standing up, with my hair un-
bound, it comes to my knees and had

FACULTY LETS DOWN
SCHOLARSHIP BARS.
Hereafter Students May Remain
in College on Completion OF
Eight Units a Term

BERKELEY, March s.-The faculty
released the frightened lid on scholar
ship at the weekly meeting of the ,aca-
demic council and hereafter the eight
necessary units to keep a student in
college and good standing each term
may include units representing repeat
ed work. At the same time the fac
ulty frightened the screws upon stu
dents who are "einehed' out for schol-
arship by requiring them to appear
before an examining committee for
cross questioning before they will be
readmitted to status as regular stu
dents.
r Up to three years ago the faculty
required that students should pass in
at least five units of new work each
semester Then it was raised to eight
units of new work, and semiannually
at least $50 students fell by the way
side in the struggle for the coveted
degree.
Now the faculty requires that eight
units of work shall be made each half
year, but any or all of this may be
repeated courses in which the student
has failed previously.
In case of the<failure of a student to
take the examinations at the end of
his half year, excuses for cases of the
most urgent and extraordinary kind
will be accepted, otherwise the student
who fails to attend an examination
the date for which has been duly set.
will be declared as "cinched" in the
course.
The faculty has further required that
in the colleges of general culture and
of commerce and chemistry, candidates
for honors must complete with marked
scholarly success a course, or combi-
nation of courses, equivalent to a least
five units of credit; in the engineer
colleges and in medicine, honor stu
dents will be judged on the quality of
work done in the regular curriculum
of the senior year; in other colleges
students will be recommended on the
basis of thesis showing ability to do
original work.

Don't Blame
Your Stomach
When Without Exertion or Cost You
Can Enjoy Meals and Cure
Dyspepsia.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free

Don't blame your stomach or your
luck when your meals declare war on
your system.
When the stomach won't do its work
il is because it can not.
When foul smelling odors come from
your stomach, when the head aches
and the sourness of mouth every morn
ing makes you hate your breakfast,
when dreams and nightmares assail
you, don't give up the fight.
This is the appeal of nature, and it
should be heard.
Overeating, late suppers, poorly
chewed food, too rich pastries and
underdone cooking are some of the
causes of the stomachs i'll health.
When the stomach is busy, ii presses
and churns all the liquid matter from
food and with its juices dissolves into
liquid form or pulp everything which
comes into it.
If such food be poisonous it affects
the juices, attacks the stomach, goes
into the blood and weakens the entire
system.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest
a full meal easily without material
assistance from the stomach. They Will
restock the gastric fluid with all the
elements needed. They build UP the
blood, destroy sour taste bad breath,
belching, stomach and bowel trouble
and quickly restore natural conditions.
One grain of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
let's will digest 5000 grains of food in
the stomach or in a glass vial without
aid of the human digestive apparatus
The method of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are the methods of Nature.
They contain every requisite for the
stomach and digestion After meal
one of these little tablets when it
enters the stomach mingIes with the
juices, attacks the food and digests it.
II removes the fermented and decayed
mass lying stagnant there and eases
the stomach at once.
1t is wholly question for you to
solve. Your druggist will furnish Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets soc the box,
or send your name and address and
we will send you a trial package Free
