Rich Territory Opened Up.

The development of h Brazilian
Amazon valley must in time amount
to untold wealth. In the states of
Para and the AmaZonas and the fed
eral territory of Acre there are near
the waters edge 10000, 900 rubber
bearing trees of the Hevea variety.
These trees if properly tapped will
live indefinitely and steadily increase
their yield. The state OF Para is 0 n
siderably larger than Texas, and much
of it will grow excellent cotton.

that this yea the amount of money to

Fo~ preserving the hands as we'll
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment.-Bathe and soak b
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
C%uticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or a light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, fs-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.
