their remedies were of no avail what

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 verse; as a last resort
they were advised by a friend to use
the Cuticura Remedies am glad to
tell you that after a few days treat
ment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment

full and the result was a perfect cure

Peanuts in Germany.

Vice Consul James L. A. Burrell, OF
Magdeburg, advises that 10000. 900
marks ($2,3S0,000) worth of peanuts
were imported into Germany during
the first nine months of $1,000, the
amount for the first half of the year
alone being greater than that for all
of 1908. The great increase in the
consumption OF peanuts is due TO the
fact that they are used in large GUAM
titles In cake bakeries as n substitute
Tor the domestic walnuts, and to some
extent for almonds, on account of the
increase in price OF the latter nuts.
further, peanuts are now served after
dinner, either mixed with almonds or

Most Of the leggins are fastened with
many buttons from ankles to knees.
but a few designs are fastened with
buckles and still others with patent
clasps.
Almost all the attractive colors arc
employed in augmenting the beauty Of
the leggins. It is possible, therefore.
for the dainty woman TO have her
limbs encased in weather shields to
match practically any gown Popular
hues for the new leggins are russell,
maroon, navy blue, golden brown, gray
and tan. Conservative wearers favor
black, but, on the other hand, a few
extremists run to white. Ooze leather
of which the leggins are made, lends
itself to exquisite coloring.
