"ECZEMA ITCRED SO BADLY
COULDN'T STAND IT."

II suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by lit
tie pimples breaking out. l kept
scratching till the blood came. 1t kept
getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights
any more. 1t kept itching for about a
month, then l went to a doctor and
got some liquid to take. 1t seemed
as if l was going to get better. The
itching stopped for about three days,
but when it started again, was even
worse than before. The eczema itched
so badly l { couldn't stand it any more
II went to a doctor and he gave me
some medicine, but didn't do any good.
We have been having Cuticura Rem
edies in the house, so I decided to try
them. I had been using Cuticura
Soap. so I got me a box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and washed OF the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times a
day, and then put the Cuticura ONT
ment on. The first day I put it on, it
relieved me Of itching so I could sleep
all that night. It took about a week,
then I could e the scab come OF. 1
A0HI Suo IAS0IuxSuI w lOI IuC00 weeks,
and my eczema was cured.
my brother got his face burned
with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The people all
thought he would have scars. but you
can't see that he ever had his face
burned. 1t raj simply awful to look
at before the Cuticura Remedies
(Soap and Ointment) cured it."

Some hundreds of keys were found in the prisoner house, and so numerous were the sto- len articles they had to be removed in a van Coombs used to preach at Methodist chapels and Salvation Army meetings in the district. By day he worked on the docks and at night burgled, chiefly unoccupied houses. In defense it was urged that the prison er's acts amounted to monomania on his part. and that he led two lives, one respectable and the other criminal. The judge said the prisoner was a danger 10 society. and might have done well if he had applied his in. genuity 10 better directions. A sen, tenee of three years penal seryitude was passed

RAMESES. A GREAT EGYPTIAN
Was lnordinately Van and Ostenta- tlous, but q Courageous and
 Determined Fighter.

Rameses' superb statue In Turin Is proven by his surviving body to be faithful portrait, showing us at least the outward man as he was. In per son he was tall and handsome, with features of dreamy and almost effem- mate beauty, in no wise suggestive of the manly traits which he certainly possessed. For the incident at Ka- desh showed him unquestionably a man of fine courage with ability to rise to a supreme crisis; while the indomitable spirit evident there is again exhibited in the tenacity with which he pushed the war against the great Hittite Empire and carried his conquests, even If not lasting, far in- to northern Syria. After his nearly fifteen years of campaigning, in which he more than redeemed the almost fatal blunder at Kadesh, he was quite ready to enjoy the well earned peace. He was inordinately vain and made far more ostentatious display of his wars on his monuments than was ever made by Thutmose.
 With his name perpetuated in vast buildings distributed at all points along the Nile from the marshes of the northern Delta to the Fourth Cat aract, Rameses lived on in magnif- cence even surpassing that of Amen hotep IT. His was the sunset glory of the venerable line which he repre- sented.-Breadsted "A History of Egypt"
