A BURNING ERUPTION FROM
HEAD TO FEET

-Four years ago I suffered severely
with a terrible eczema, being a mass
Of sores from head to feet and for six
weeks confined to my bed. During
that time I suffered continual torture
from itching and burning. After being
given up by my doctor I was advised
to try Cuticura Remedies. After the
first bath with Cuticura Soap and APP
plication Of Cuticura Ointment l en-
Joyed the first good sleep during my
entire illness. I also used Cuticura
Resolvent and the treatment was con-
tinued for about three weeks. At the
end Of that time I 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 I know what they
did for me. Mrs. Edward Nenning,

Colonel Roosevelt again showed his

IL Is 2 Mistake

Many have the Idea that anything
will sell if advertised strong enough.
This is a great mistake. True, a
few sales might be made by advertis-
ing an absolutely worthless article but
it is only the article that is bought
again and again that pays. An ex-
ample of the big success of a worthy
article is the enormous sale that has
grown up for Cascarets Candy Cathar-
tic. This wonderful record is the result
Of great merit successfully made known
through persistent advertising and the
moSth-to-mouth recommendation given
Cascarets by its friends and users.
Like all great successes, trade pi-
rates prey on the un%suspecting public,
by marketing fake tablets similar in
appearance to Carcarets. Care should
always be exercised in purchasing we'll
advertised goods, especially an article
that has a national sale like Cascar-
cts. Do not allow a substitute to be
palmed off on you.

For answer the cohorts Of No. SO

scurried out of the fort to gather a

sides retired to their ramparts, which
were about fifty yards apart, and each
boy began to make snowballs as fast

was shining brightly and the melting
snow on top made balls Of icy hard

which instantly went to pieces follow

General Grant, running for reelection

death in 1878 a powerful editorial In
fuence throughout the country. Allied
with him in the task of organizing
the Liberal Republican party were
three other famous editors, the late
Murat Halstead, Henry Watterson and
the late Carl Schurz, then United
States senator from Missouri.
These tour men were prominent
members of the national convention
of the Liberal Republicans, held In
Cincinnati in 1872. But not one OF
them had planned for Mr.. Greeley's
nomination. Their candidate was

and I had found myself elected by a
majority twice as large as that which
Governor Seymour had received the
year before. the thought occurred to
me that the governor might not want
to speak to me, for 1 had been quite
personal regarding him in some of my
speeches. But, to my establishment I
had not long zee in Office when the
governor invited me to spend a few
days with him at his home in Utica,
promising, among other things, to take
me to his farm at Deerfield, a few
miles out Of the city. Overjoyed at
the discovery that I had not made a
personal enemy of him. I Immediately

at his home, found him a M Of OF

sun was beginning to cast shadows
from the west, he began to speak

your own party journals. read plenty
of history, study h careers of great
