WASTED A FORTUNE ON SKIN
TROUBLE

Il began to have an itching over my
whole body about seven years ago and
this settled in my limb, from the knee
to the toes. l went to see great many
physicians, matter which cost me
fortune, and after l noticed that l did
not get any relief that way. l went for
three years to the hospital. But they
were unable to help me there. l used
all the medicines that could see but
became worse and worse. l had an
inflammation which made me almost
crazy with pain. When l showed my
foot to my friends they would get
really frightened. I did not know
what to do. was SO sick and had be-
come SO nervous that l positively lost
all hope.
II had seen the advertisement of
the Cuticura Remedies a great many
times, but could not make up my mind
to buy them, for had already used SO
many medicines. Finally did decide
to use the Cuticura Remedies and I
tell you that was never so pleased as
when l noticed that, after having used
two sets of Cuticura Soap. Cuticura
Ointment and Cuticura Pills, the en-,
tire Inflammation had gone. l was
completely cured. l should be only
too glad if people with similar disease
would come to me and find out the
truth I would only recommend them
to use Cuucura. Mrs. Bertha Sachs,

SUGGESTS NEW
LIGHTING PLAN
Citizen Would Have Supports
Placed on Top Of Arches
10 Carry Poles

citizen has submitted ia THE
EVENING Journal a sketch showing
a new plan for the arrangement OF
electric light and telegraph ana tele-
phone poles on Market street.
His plan is TO have steel arches OF
electric lights span Market street at
intervals of about 90 yards, which he
believes would add much TO the inn
provement of Market street, and
would lessen danger from FIRE, by do
ing away with poles and wires near
the building lines and giving hremen
clear access to buildings.
According to this plan arches or
electric lights should span Market
street, while over in the center OF
the arches would be constructed steel
supports for telegraph and telephone
poles. Trolley wire would be carried
along the arches all poles on the side
walks being thus dispensed with,
while arc lights would be suspended
from it. BY this plan he thinks Mar
ket street would be readily cleared OF
its numerous unsightly poles.

for that matter, ought TO rub the scalp
vigorously with the tips of the fin-

The blood supplies nourishment to
the hair Just as Il does to the skin,
and frequent massaging gently stim-
ulates the scalp and causes the blood
to flow more freely.
Unclean hair brushes and combs
