SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

my mother used to have a very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it I had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sor and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite Of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking Of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint,
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To.
day she feels much in debt to Cuti.
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head Of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
"My WI case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought I would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. I did for four OF
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

Poor pussy! AS if the immemorial

just discoveredthat for years she has
been responsible for the spread of
diphthetria. DR.. G.. j.. Auburn of
Manchester, England, having traced
an epidemic of this disease in a sub
urb of that city to a pet cat belonging
to n Of his patients, has found, after
much clever investigation, that all
cats are peculiarly susceptible to
diphtheritic affections of the throat.
He has therefore recently been warn.

says, is to let the first wheeze be

e EAGER TO WORK.
Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.
But let dyspepsia, or indigestion get
hold Of one, and all endeavor becomes
a burden.
"A year ago, after recovering from
an operation" writes a Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora-
cious, but when INDUCED, indigestion
followed. Other times 1 had no appe.

nourish me and I grew weaker than
ever. r
II lost interest in everything and

was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out of the question.
Il had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read at the

his passion is books.
Often one may see him, tall and

his long and carefully trimmed white
locks, standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim of
circumstances who has sought the only
place where the police will not tell
him to move on, the Common, and

Mr.. Vaughan is not engaged in &C.

calls them. Some of these have never

Broken with grief and with the

is no deception, no mechanical device,
nothing in his hands and nothing in
his sleeves.
