HIS HANDS CRACKED OPEN

II am q man seventy years old. My
hands were very sore and cracked
open on the insides for over a year
with large sores. They would crack
open and bleed, itch. burn and ache
20 that I could not sleep and could do
Sut little work. They we're SO bad
that I could not dress myself in the
morning. They would bleed and the
blood dropped on the floor. I called
on two doctors, but they did me no
good. I could get nothing to do any
good till l got the Cuticura Soap and
C%uticura Ointment. About a year
ago my daughter got a cake Of Cuti.
cura Soap and one box Of Cuticura
Ointment and in one week from the
time I began to use them my hands
were all healed UP and they have not
been a mite, RI since. I would not
be without the Cuticura Remedies.
"They also cured a bad sore on the
hand Of one Of my neighbours children
and they think very highly Of the Cuti
cura Remedies. John w. Hasty, So. Ef

dren and friends. Captain Berry Is a
cousin of Abraham Lincoln. It was
at the home of Mr.. Berry's father in
Kentucky that Thomas Lincoln and
Nancy Hanks, parents of Abraham
Lincoln, were married more than q
hundred years ago. Mr.. Berry, who
has spent 90 years In this state, COM
ing here when 1t was a territory, at.
tributes his longevity to a life of tenn
perance. He used tobacco for nearly
a century and feels justified in taking
a little toddy occasionally for the
stomach's sake. He eats moderately.
His supper for years has been one
biscuit and a glass of milk.

MISCHIEF MAKER
A Surprise In Brooklyn.

An adults food that a save a
baby proves itself to be nourishing and
easily digested and good for big and
little folks. A Brooklyn man says:
when baby was about eleven
months old he began to grow thin and
pale. This was, at first, attributed to
the heat and the fact that his teeth
were coming. but, in reality. the poor
little thing was starving, his mothers
milk not being sufficient nourishment.
"One day after he had cried bitterly
for an hour. I suggested that my wife
try him or Grape-Nuts. She soaked
two teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a
little sugar and warm milk. This baby
ate so r%avenously that she fixed a sec.
ond which he likewise finished.
1T was not many days before he for
got all about being nursed. and has
since lived almost exclusively on
Grape-Nuts. Today the boy Is strong
and robust, and as cute a mischief
maker as a thirteen months old baby
is expected to be.
I'VE have put before him other
FOODS, but ne Will nave none OF them,
evidently preferring to stick to that
which did him SO much good--his old
friend Grape-Nuts.
use this letter any way you wish,
for my wife and I IA never praise
Grape-Nuts enough after tho bright
ness It has brought to our household"
Grape-Nuts Is not made for a baby
food. but experience with thousands OF
babies shows 1t to be among the best,
II not entirely the best in use. Being
a scientific preparation of Natures
grains, It ia equally effective as a body
and brain builder for grown.ups.
