with a terrible eczema, being a mass
of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time l suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor | was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and APP
plication of Cuticura Ointment | en-
joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. ALSO used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks At the
end of that time | was able to be
about the house. entirely cured, and
have felt no i'll effects since. ! would
advise any person suffering from any
form of skin trouble to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies, as | know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

After fifteen months absence, exact
ly as scheduled, Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt disembarked from the Kali
serin Auguste Victoria, Saturday morn
Ing, June Is, at IL a. m. To the keen
disappointment of large group of
newspaper correspondents, Mr., Roose-
welt absolutely refused, as heretofore,
to be interviewed or to talk on politi-
cal subjects. but his rapid fire Of ques-
lions showed the same virile interest
In public affairs as before.
II the welcome rendered by the
vast throng may be considered a
criterion upon which to base RE-
turn from Elba," surely there was no
discordant note in the immense recep-
tion-parade, nor in the' wildly clamor-
GUS crowd which cheered at every
glimpse and hung on his very word.
The incidents of the day In New
York were many, but perhaps none
better illustrated the nervous energy
and vitality Of the man, the near-mania
to be up-and-doing, which he has
brought back to us, than the discard
ing of horses and carriages for the
swifter and more reliable automobiles
