The first essential was to get a good
healthy bone to take the place OF the
one eaten by disease. After a time on
of the hospitals which handle emer-
gency cases reported that a man had
been killed in an accident. As the body
was unclaimed and would have gone

It is customary in Scotland to sit OUT the
old year. I'm the towns the custom dates from
time immemorial, but in the country it was
long considered unucky to be out of bed when
the new year was ushered in. Early in the
evening the children were washed and put to
bed. An oat cake known as a hammock,
baked for each, and great care had TO be taken
in the process of baking, for a child whose
bannock was broken while being fired would
not survive the following year At halfpast
eleven the seniors went to bed, but before
retiring they covered the fire and carefully
swept up the hearth carrying out OF the house
every particle OF ash. An anxious eye was kept
on the fire. however, for to have allowed it to
expire before the new year began would have
been unluCky.

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

i wish to let you know Of a couple
OF recent cures which have made by
the use OF the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr. of this city
came to my office, troubled with q
severe skin eruption. At first could
not understand the nature Of the case
until had made a careful examina-
ton. l finally traced il to his occu-
patton, as he was a painter and deco
rator. 1t was dermatitis in it's worst
form. 1t started with a slight erup-
ton and would affect most parts of
his body-thighs, elbows, chest, back
and abdomen-and would terminate in
little pustules. The itching and burn
Ing was dreadful and he would almost
tear his skin apart, trying to get re-
lief. l recommended all the various
treatments l could think of and he
spent about fifteen dollars on prescrip-
tons but nothing seemed to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife who was
continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been trying
different prescriptions and methods
with my assistance, told me she was
going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a trial. Her
skin would thicken, break and bleed,
especially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. / could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura Soap
and applications Of Cuticura Ointment
she saw decided improvement and in
a few days she was completely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending tho
Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -, and
this was two months ago. / told him
to wash with warm baths OF the Cuti-
cura Soap and to apply the Cuticura
Ointment generously. Believe me,
from the very first days use Of the
Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. | have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that l am convinced Of their
wonderful merits" (Signed) B. L.

NO HARD PROBLEM TO SOLVE
6eIIboy's Suggestion Would Seem to
Be Natural Way TO Get Around
Situation.

The Englishman who has beex
wearing a top hat and a frock coat
impressed all who saw him With his
distinguished appearance as hs
strolled about with an expansive air
In one OF the more expensive hotels.
On Wednesday morning he came up
TO q clerk.
II would like TO have a shirt laun-
dered.' he said. II must have IL back
by five o'clock"
The clerk told him that the time
was unusually short, but he would do
what he could, and the shirt was de-
livered on time.
He came down Thursday morning
and said he wanted another shirt
laundered. but that this one must be
back by two o'clock in the afternoon.
The clerk said that would be too
short a time. The Briton grew angry
and demanded to see the proprietor.
He got as far as the bell boy captain.
to whom he protested that he would
not stand for such treatment. The
bell boy suggested the purchase OF .

day. A vast crowd still gathers every year at
the Iron Kirk In Edinburgh waiting till
twelve o'clock strikes. A similar gathering Is
found at the town house or principal church
in many other towns. In some places the bells
are rung. In Dundee the advent OF the new
year is announced by the boom or the time
gun.
Immediately the clock strikes twelve the
crowds melt as by magic Everybody rushes
of to be "hrst-foot" TO some OF his friends.
Formerly the hrst-footers carried spiced

spiced ale, with a dash OF whisky in II, and
sometimes sugar and other ingredients. The
concoction was known in Scotland as the hot

carried
No "hrst-foot" must entor a house empty
handed" or course the whisky bottle pre-
vents any calamity happening on this score.
The personality of the "frst-foot," however,
counts for much. II is of vital importance to
have a lucky "frst-foot," and fortunately there
are many marks to distinguish the lucky from
the unlucky. There are still persons to be
found who would admit his Satanic
majesty as their first visitor for the year as
IN unlucky "frst-foot" In some places the
"frst-foot" must be a bachelor, but this is not
n common restriction Among those who are
gymen, persons who spread out their feet, per
who were born feet first, persons noted
for kindness, a sweetheart, etc. A horse Is a
lucky "hrst-foot" So is a hen. Among those
who are unlucky in the role OF "frst-foot" we
find associated persons with fiat feet, thieves,
persons who walk with their toes turned in,
deformed persons, persons whose eyebrows
meet, the hangman, the grave digger and tell
