MY mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it ! had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in to see her and
they were speaking Of how her hair was
falling out and tho doctors did it no
good. She says, Aunt, why don't you
try Cuticura Soap ana Cuticura Oint-
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her, so she soon began bathing with the
Cuticura Soap and anointlng with the
Cuticura Ointment, and in six months
time the itching, burning and scaling
of her head was over and her hair began
growing. To-day she feels very much
in debt to Cuticura Soap and Ointment
for the fne head Of hair she has for
an old lady seventy-four years old.
I'm regard to my own case, mine was

The citrus fruit case grew out OF
the attempt of the railroads to increase
the rate on lemons last october, which
followed close upon the Increase OF the
lemon tariff by congress. The case
involves much more than the lemon
rate however. The reasonableness OF
the present rate on oranges is ike
wise criticised as unjust.
