Two years ago sorne form of humor appeared on my scalp. Tho beginning was . slight itching. but it grew steadily worse until. when l cofnbed my hair. ehe scalp became raw. Most of the time there was an intolernblo itching, in painful. burning way. Bombing my hair was positive tortura- My hair was long and tangled terribly Bccnuse of tho blood and scabs. Over half my hair fell out and 1 was in despair. really afraid of becoming totally bald. After being asleep a short time. that awful stinging pain would commence and then would wake up nearly wild with the torture. | now decided to order a set Of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills. I used them for perhaps six weeks. then left off, as the disease seemed to be eradicated. But toward spring. eighteen months ago. there was a slight return of the scalp hlmor. I commenced the Cnticura kreatment at once, so haD very little trouble. Since then have had no scalp trouble of any kind and had it not bcen for Cutkura should doubtless be wholly bald.

LEBANON SCHOOLS Lose Much Through Unnecessary Ab- sence of Pupils-Supervisor F. w. Earber's Report

Reports show that last year, in the town of Lebanon, there was an ayer- age absence of 40 pupils per day from the schools of the town. This meant a direct loss of s1,000, which might have been received from the state ap- propriation for schools had the at tendance been perfect.
 Had the 40 pupils been absent in a body, two of the largest schools in town might have been closed, thus sav ing more than s650 in teachers saIar- ies.
 An earnest effort is being made to improve the attendance at the schools school officers and teachers soiicitin 2 the hearty cooperation of parents and townspeople
 It is the purpose of Supervisor Bar Der to publish each month the records made in the several districts of the town. the best record heading the list and from that grading off to the poor est record.
 Following is the~record for Novem- Der:
 ] Total registration .............. POI Total absences ............... 316 Total tardinesSeS ............... S5 Average attendance ............ IT Average absence per day... q
 Had all absences occurred in one dis triet, one of our largest schools might have be.n closed. The town lost by these 316 absences in November S55.55.

The in- surance association declared the fire to be Of incendIary origin and of- fered n reward Of $500 for evidence that would lead to the conviction of the guilty party. But the case on trial is to recover for fire loss under the policies and has nothing to do with any other feature of the case.
