AN INToLERABLE ITCHING

Gust about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
It grew steadily worse until, when l
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood. Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
in a painful, burning way. very much
as bad, raw burn, If deep, viii itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. / was
in despair, really afraid OF becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that. when partially awake, would
scratch the worst places so that my
fnger-tips would be bloody. / could
not sleep we'll and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful singing pain
would commence and then / would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
A neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, / now decided to
order set Of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.

for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated. but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. l com.
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp used about one half a cake
Of Cuticura Soap and half a box Of
Cuticura Ointment in all. The first
time ! took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment. Since then | have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.

comes to my knees and had 1t not been

wholly bald.

Pride In Good Roads.

Heretofore the average fsrmer has
taken pride in the public schools
and churches, In farm buildings and
In the appearance Of his field fences;
but pride in the roads passing his
field, and over which he has to travel
whenever he stirs from his farm, has
been totally lacking. But an awaken
ing has taken place, and already the
farmer is beginning to ask himself
why he should not put his roads first
instead OF last. He is the chief suffer
er when they are bad-and they near
ly always are bad. Conversely, he viii

good and 1t depends chiefly on him
whether they are good or bad.-Auto-

Madison-State Forester Il. NJ.
Griffith talked before the KalElia club
In the residence of Mrs. A o. Smith
He made clear the lack of care
with which Wisconsin forests have
been treated: he compared the waste
In American forests with the con-
Seryation of similar tracts in Belgium
and other European countries: he laid
stress upon other values of the forest
han the mercantile values, mention
ing the immense amount of good
which invalids experience from excur-
sions into the forest tracts; he told
aow the forests conserve the rainfall
and keep 1t to neutralize absence Of
rain for long periods.
Wisconsin should have a forest re-
serve of approximately 100000 acres
IN the splendid lake region, largely in
Oneida and Villas counties, in order to
protect the headwaters of our i'm
portant rivers. provide a perpetual
supply of timber, SO as to keep our
wood-using Industries within the
state; and, last, but not least, build
up great resort region for the peo-
pie of Wisconsin, and also for the
thousands that Will come from less
favored states.
THE lands within the forest re-
serve area, which are not owned b.
the state, are largely held by non
resident owners, and are absolutely
unprotected and therefore the danger
point from which start most of
the destructive forest fires. No
systematic forestry management is
possible until these lands are &C
CURED by the state, and it Is the poor
est possible kind of economy to put
OF their purchase from year to year,
as they are deteriorating rapidly in
value, through recurring fires, and in
their present condition they block all
forestry progress.
THE state must take a broad. COM
prehensive stand If this great work is
TO be carried out successfully, and In
order to provide the necessary funds
to purchase the lands and replant the
denuded areas, so that the reserves
will yield an increasing revenue to
the state, the legislature should pro-
vide for general state tax of two
tenths OF mill for a period of 20
years.
