DISFlGURED WITH CRUsTS

Some time ago I was taken with
eczema from the top of my head to
my waist, 1t began with scales on my
body. l suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. l was
greatly disfgured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as if they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw. I suffered
untold agony and pain. l tried two
doctors who said | had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that it could not
be cured. l then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, l tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore l cannot
praise them too highly.
II suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am now entirely cured,
and l believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there is." (Signed)
Miss Matte j. Shaffer, R. F. D. l, Box.
8, Dancy, Miss, Oct. 27, 1910.
II had suffered from eczema about
four years when boils began to break
out on different parts of my body. 1t
started with a fine red rash. My
back was affected first, when it also
spread over my face. The itching was
almost unbearable at times. l tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing
seemed to help me until I began to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
One box Of them cured me entirely. l
recommended them to my sister for
her baby who was troubled with tooth
eczema, and they completely cured her
baby" (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marber-
ger, Drehersville, Pa, Sept. 6, 1910.

Giylnn Satisfaction.

In "A Century of English Ballads
a recent book by Harold Simpson,
says the Pittsburg Gazette Times,
there is a delightful story of Stephen
Incledon, an eminent tenor of otner
days. whose singing of "Black-Eyed
Susan was peculiarly to the peoples
taste.
While staying at a country inn, In
cledon had quarreled during the even
ing with an army officer. He imagined
he had closed the controversy by 60
ing off to bed, but the officer, left
downstairs ITO brood we his wrongs,
thought otherwise.
Making his way to ~Incledon's bed
room, he found the singer fast asleep.
When he succeeded in waking him, a
matter of some difficulty. the officer
demanded satisfaction.
Satisfaction" murmured ~Incledon,
sleepily. well. you shall have it."
Whereupon he sat up In bed and sang
"Black-Eyed Susan" In his best style.
There, he said, lying down again,
my singing Of that song has given
satisfaction to thousands, and 1t will
have to satisfy your And he turned
over and went to sleep again.

they resounded with a new joy that
a come to tighten the gloom Of
prison life. What they meant to
Casey. as they constantly called his
mind back to the death cells he had
left so recently, and where he might
SO soon go again for the last time,
only Casey knew. Whatever it was,
Casey to all appearances was only an
umpire trying his best to honestly
judge a game of baseball in which he
took the greatest delight.
Countless other games of baseball
probably will be played in the prison
court. Warden Baker has announced
that the men may play each Saturday
afternoon in season. No games ever
will be called there ION account Of
wet grounds" and schedules never
will need revising because one of the
teams failed to arrive in time.
Yet it is doubtful If any contest Of
the future ever will dislodge from the
memories of the life men" the pris-
on's first game, when the majority of
the players were assassins, and when
"peg-leg" Casey, fan, miner, murderer,
called the balls and strikes and sent
sassy" players to the pile of broken
rock that serves as "the bench" on
that unique diamond where mastodons
once trod and prehistoric men perhaps
fought each other to the death with
out fear of gallows or cells.
Mighty Casey of Midwife hence
forth must share his legendary glory
with Murderer Casey of Carson City,
who coolly decided the minor points
of a pleasant pastime while waiting
for the supreme court of Nevada to
judge his own momentous play, which
would extend to him the privilege of
existence among the "lifers," or send
him to certain death.
Whether the judgment for Casey of
the death cell was to be safe" or
runner out" made no evident diff.
ference to Casey of the corner lots as
he stood behind the bat and called
the plays as firmly and accurately as
he ever did in the days Of his long.

seventy-one Years In a Shoe Shop.

Charles H. Wilson Of Troy, N. Y,
occupies the unique position of having
been in business in one building for II
years; at least he will have completed
II years in the shoe business at 242-
244 River street August - next. This
record, it is believed, can be equaled
by few if any shoe retailers in this
country. Mr.. Wilson has also been in
business for himself for more than so
years. Mr.. Wilson is today just as
much in active business as he was al
most three-quarters Of a century ago,
wher as a thirteen-year-old lad he en-
tered the employ of John Leonard
Williams of Troy. To be exact, that
was August ~, 1910. MI. Williams
kept a shoe store at 242-244 River
street in a building which had been
erected in 1903, and SO the building
now occupied by Mr.. Williams for his
retail shoe business is one of the old
est buildings in Troy.

NOT A "FULL-LENGTHp PAPA
Child Wanted Original of Portrait That
Had Been Made So Familiar
to Her.

An amusing incident is related of
a young service matron who had re-
linquished her husband for two years
and who, having before his departure
insisted on a good photograph, applied
herself assiduouly to the upbringing
of her t~wo-year-old baby with a view
to the child's familiarity with her dis
tinguished father. Each day she would
call the baby girl to her and, kneeling
beside her, would hold up the photo
graph, pointing out each feature to
the child.
One day the officer came home, and
the baby girl, then four years old,
was summoned. Come, dear" said
the mother in glee, papa has come
home at last!" The child surveyed
the officer in perplexity and finally
shook her head.
"What is the hatter, dear?" asked
her mother. WELL" replied the child,
"he looks something like my papa, but
my papa hasn't any legs!"

Although a waiter, he was very hui
man, SO when he perceived that the
young couple who had been assigned
to his table had many matters tender
and confidential under consideration,
he retreated to a respectful distance
and stared at the opposite wall. The
restaurant proprietor disapproved of
that humanitarian attitude.
Don't stand away back there" he
said. Go up and hang over that feI-
lows chair back for a while"
"Oh. no." expostulated the human
waiter. They want to talk"
"Of course they do" the proprietor
retorted. That is why | want you to
butt in. Every time you come near
they will send you to the kitchen for a
fresh order to get You out of the way"

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods, This trou-
Bile can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
err strength than other makes.

MORE EXCELLENT
REPORTS FROM
WESTERN CANADA
Grains Are Heading Out
Rapidly and Harvest Is
Now Approaching With
a Great Demand for
Harvest Help.

Last week it was pointed out in
these columns that there would be a
yield of about 200, 900, 1000 bushels of
wheat throughout Western Canada, an
increase of about 100, O0O, 900 over the
previous year, and that the demand
for farm help was very great. Con-
firmation Of this news is to hand and
the cry still is for more help. The
Canadian authorities are hopeful that
the friends of the 400, 900 or 500, 900
Americans who have gone to Canada
during the last few years will come to
the help of these people and induce
as many ~able-bodied men as they pos
sibly can to take advantage of the
low rate which is being offered from
all points on the Canadian Boundary,
and particulars Of which can be had

Every facility will be afforded men
Of the right stamp to secure advantage
OF these low rates. To those who pro-.
pose to 60, it may be said that they
will have this splendid opportunity of
securing first hand information as to
the excellent producing character of
the lands in Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta. They will have the op-
portunity Of seeing some Of the great
est wheat fields in the world and prob
ably the largest yield of wheat, oats
and barley that has ever been grown
on the Continent. And all this on
land some of which cost the settler
only the $1,000 necessary to enter for
his homestead, or, if he purchased,
in ONE cases, costing him from $500
to $1,000 per acre, but which is now
worth from $500 to $4,000 per acre.
Even at these prices the land is re-
markedly cheap as will be realized
when the statement is made that from
20 to rs bushels per acre and over
of wheat are grown, netting the farm
er from $500 to- $1,000 per acre; and
this on land that he got for nothing
or paid merely a nominal price. In
fact the production shows that $500
to $4,000 per acre would be a nominal
price for land that would produce as
these lands produce.
