WOULD LIE AWAKE ALL NIGHT
WITH ITCHING ECZEMA

Ever since ! can remember ] was
a terrible sufferer OF eczema and
other irritating skin diseases. ! would
lie awake all night. and my suffering
was intolerable. a scaly humor set
tied on MY back. and being but a
child, I naturally scratched 1t. 1t
was a burning. itching sensation. and
utterly intolerable. in fact. 1t was so
that could not possibly forget about
It. 1t did not take long before It
spread to my shoulders and arms. and
was almost covered with mass Of
raw flesh on account of my scratching
it. was in such a condition that my
hands were tied.
"A number OF physicians were call
ed, but 1t seemed beyond their med
ical power and knowledge to cure
me. Having tried numerous treat.
ments without deriving any benefit
from them. I had given myself up to
the mercy OF my dreadful malady. but
l thought l would take the Cuticura
treatment as last resort Words
cannot express my gratitude to the
one who created The Cuticura Mira
cles.' az l have named them. for now
I feel as II never suffered from even
a pimple. My disease was routed by
Cuticura Soap and Ointment. and
shall never cease praising the wonder.
full merits they contain. l will never
be without them. in fact. can almost
dare any skin diseases to attack me
SO long us I have Cuticura Remedies
in the house. I hope that this letter
will give other sufferers an idea Of
how suffered. and also hope that
they will not pass the 'Cuticura Life

BRIDGE OVER DITCH
Concrete May Be Used for Small
Bridges.
Prof. Parshail Of Colorado A0rleu''
tural College Describes Excellent
Plan for Crossing Laterals In lr-
rioation District.

By r. L. PARsHALL. Colorado Asri-
cultural Coilege)
In our irrigated districts Of the
west We ind many small ditches
and laterals on tho farm. and 1t IL
always necessary to Cross these with,
drveways at frequent intervals.
When a small. permanent bridge 10
required. the following ideas may
be used. providing the conditions are
satisfactory.
For = crossing whore the depth Of
the ditch 10 not great and tho span
not over II or II feet. We may pro-
coed A. follows:
After tho irrigation season has
closed. and before the cold weather
sets In. nll the lateral at the cross
ing with gravel or sand and tamp
It down comparatively solid. Tho
nlling will answer as q form for the
under side Of the bridge. and should
be carefully rounded OF 30 ~ to
form an arch Of tho concrete with it,
center about IL to 16 inches higher
than the ends or the abutments. for
. span Of II to II feet. Clay or
loan may be used for the nlling.
but gravel or sand can be taken out
much more readily than tho former.
For a span Of II feet and bridge
ton feet wide. we may say. for aver
age conditions. that = trench ten feet
long and six or eight inches wide
will. when dug deep enough to Arm
ground. answer for the foundation.
It may be possible to use some OF
this waste material from tho ex-
cavation to fll in tho ditch.
Drive stakes at suitable points to
hold the planks that arc to form tho
sides OF tho bridge. The finished
thickness Of the center. OF the arch
need not be over four inches. When
all the forms arc in place. mix your
portions: Ono part Portland CO.
ment. two parts clean sand. and
four parts gravel. Make the abut-
ments or foundations first by nlling
tho trenches with concrete. Now.
spread the concrete over the gravel.
hll to q depth Of about two inches:
upon this soft mass. before the con.
crete sets. place the steel reinforcing
bars. which should be about three-
eighths of an inch In diameter. and
placed eight inches apart longitudinal
ly. These rods should be bent to
agree with the curve of the arch. After
the rods. which should be long
enough to reach tho foundation abut-
ments. are In place. the remaining
concrete should be placed and we'll
tamped Smooth OF the top sur
face with 4 straight edge. and when
completed. the center Of the arch
should be about four inches thick
and tho shoulders at the abutments
about six inches In thickness. Cover
now with a few inches Of earth to
prevent the concrete from drying out
too rapidly. In two weeks time the
structure will be ready for use. Tho
sand. gravel Of earth filling may be
removed at any time after - hours.
