SAVED OLD LADYS HAIR

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 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
Cutirnra Soap and Cuticura Ointment
Mother did and they helped her In six
months time the itching, burning and
sealing Of hes head was over and her
hair began growing. To-day she feels
very much in debit to Cuticura Soap and
Ointment for tho fine head OF hair she
has for an old lady of seventy-four.
My own case was an eczema IN my
feet. Assoon rs the, old weather came my

Public sentiment has decided that
the completion of the Panama Canal

which all the nations OF the world
may participate; and the question Of
where this Exposition Is to be held
will be settled by Congress- at It's APP

on It's location, as the time In travel.
