Why Uncle Reuben Could Not Meet
Debt He Acknowledged as
an Obligation.

Uncle Reuben, the village white
washer and man of all work, was a
frequent borrower of small sums from
his neighbor. Colonel Arkwright,
and as a rule he repaid these little
debts at the appointed time; but on
n occasion, when he had been &C
commodated with a loan of two dol
lars and a half, which he promised
to return in a few days, he allowed
two or three weeks to pass without
making any mention Of his indebted
ness, and, In fact, seemed to avoid
his creditors. But one morning the
colonel Unexpectedly encountered him
at the postofice.
Hello, Uncle RUDE! Didn't you

man. Il sholy did"

1t found that the amount of opium be-

preparations for the cure Of head
aches and the relief of pain that are

that over $50, 900 ounces of cocaine
were being consumed annually by the

Harm in Too Much Exercise.

DR.. LawrasOn Brown and DR.. F. H.
Heise of Saranac Lake, in an article
on properly Regulated Rest and Elk
ercise in Pulmonary tuberculosis" in
the June number of the Journal Of the
Outdoor Life, holds that the action
of the poisonous germs Of this disease
on the body is very similar to that Of
~OvereXercise. The poisonous irrita-
ton caused by the germs gives the
organs and tissues of the body a dou-
BILE load to carry. Drs. Brown and
Heise emphasize the Importance Of
rest in the treatment of ~tuberculo-
sis, but also insist that properly reg
ulated exercise is very necessary.
They state their conclusions thus:
ITO sum up, exercise when properly
regulated and Systematically graded
is an important factor in the treat
ment Of pulmonary tuberculosis.
Through it the patient is in many
cases returned to home and family
with lessened chances of future re-
lapse. At the same time part Of his
earning capacity is restored, and be
is consequently financially less de-
pendent upon others, relieving him of
much worry, expense and hardship"

new drug fiends are being created

Spending a Million a Day on Roads

United States Office of public roads,
in telling of the results of the great
campaign for good roads, seems at
last to be thoroughly aroused to the
benefits derived from investments in
improved highways"
In California the state has issued
SIS, 900, 900 in bonds with which to
build a system of state highways.
This work will begin during the pres
ent season. In the state of Connecti-
cut about $4,000, 900 will be expended
this year out Of the state treasury
for trunk line and state aid roads.
Of the S., 900, 900 bond issue recently
authorized in Maryland more than
$780, 900 will be available this year
for trunk line and state aid roads.
Massachusetts will eXpend from state
over $1,000, 600 for the con-
struction and maintenance Of state
roads. It is expected that at least
SIS, 900 900 will be expended on state
aid roads and on trunk line systems
in the state of New York, in addition
to 81, 900, 900 already raised by local
taxation. In 1910, thirty counties in
Ohio voted $4,000, 900 in bonds to be
expended this year. Ohio will also
expend about $500, 900 from the state
for road improvement. In
Pennsylvania, the state-aid appropria-
ton will probably amount to over
81, 900, 900, and a $50 900, 900 bond is
sue is being considered. Various
counties in Tennessee will eXpend
$500, 900 from bond issues. In Vir-
ginio, 81, 500, 900 has been authorized
by various counties, to be expended
this year, while over $250,000 has
been appropriated in the state OF
Wisconsin, in accordance with the
state aid system.

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. I SEN and
got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles Of Resolvent, two boxes Of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and we'll, and lever had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
would have cured him except CuticurR.
Il have bought C~uticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what I put
them on. I think Cuticura Is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
l have ever used for toilet purposes"
