Test Value of Alcohol.

The British authorities some time
ago made a test of the alleged value
of alcohol when men are subjected to
unusual and exhausting labor Elk
periments mere made at different
times and under varying conditions
with three regiments from each Of
several brigades. In one every man
was forbidden to drink any alcohol
whatever while the test lasted; in the
second, malt liquor only was taken;
in the third, ration of whisky was
given to each man. The whisky
drinkers manifested more dash at
first, but generally in about four days
showed signs of weakness and IA
tigue; those given malt liquor dis
played less dash at first, but their en-
durance lasted somewhat longer;
while the abstainers improved daily
in alertness and staying powers. In
the German army experiments are be-
ing made with sugar, which is
claimed to have such great sustaining
powers that it is proposed to serve it
as an extra ration when unusual IA
tigues are to be borne-Medical Rec

THREE CURED OF ECZEMA

When a child, l suffered eight
at night, and had sores all over my
chest. We had doctors and none
could do any good, until my mother
saw the advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies in the paper. We used
the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and they cured me Of
eczema. I also used them on my five
children. Two of them had eczema
very badly. When my children had
eczema, l was not worried at all, as
l knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads, their hair would fall
out. and they would scratch all night
and day They had it on their heads,
face, and in back Of the ears so that I
thought their ears would drop of. I
washed their heads and bodies with
Cuticura Soap and they are as clean
as the driven snow. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment also cured my children
of ringvorm. l would not be without
the Cuticura Remedies. They are
wonderful" (Signed) Mrs. Violet

it. and soon there was a marked i'm
prOvement in my condition.
Il had been troubled with faint
spells, and had used a stimulant to
revive me. l found that by eating
Grape-Nuts at such times | was re-
lieved and suffered no bad effects,
which was a great gain. AS 60 my
other troubles-neryous prostration,
dyspepsia, etc.-on the Grape-Nuts diet
they soon disappeared.
Il wish especially to call the atten-
ton of office girls to the great benefit
l derived from the use of Grape-Nuts
as a noon luncheon. l was thoroughly
tired of cheap restaurants and ordin-
airy lunches, and so made the expert

out at noon and getting a nickers

The late Senator Frye attributed his
robust health to correct habits and
fondness for sport and the world out
doors. Two months each year he en-
joyed at his camp by the Rangeley
lakes the keen delights OF the rod and
gun. II there was one achievement
of his life Of which he was inclined to
boast it was that Of having caught the
largest square tailed trout ever taken
with a fly. But some time ago at q
dinner this boast was challenged by
no less an authority than Professor
sAgassiz. That great naturalist assert
ed that the Maine senator was in err

true trout ever attained the weight
smentioned-seVen pounds. The follow
ing season the senator was fortunate
enough to catch an eight pound speci-
men Of the same species, which he
packed in ice and sent to Professor
Agassiz. The professor acknowledged
his defeat in the following laeonic line:
