COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION

II have been using Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment for the past
three months and I am glad to say
that they cured me Of most annoy
ing skin eruption. 1t began by my no.
tfcing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, did not think any
thing Of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until I could not stand the suffering.
Then began to use different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me. but that didn't seem to do
any good. went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve mo
any. lost many nights sleep in con-
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch

and head. Then l started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months I was entirely relieved Of that
awful pest. am 30 delighted over
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that I

It." (Signed) g. M. Mcfarland, 221

USEFULNESS OF FEED CUTTER
Particularly Beneficial In chopplng
Hay and Fodder, Because Guam
tlty Can Be Measured.

No farmer who owns even three
head of stock can afford to be with
out feed cutter. although there are
thousands of good-sized farms that
have never yet introduced this useful
little machine.
In England 80 per cent Of all the
farmers use cut feed. only 10 per cent
being adverse to the use of the cut
ter.
The feed cutter is particularly bene-
fetal in chopping hay and fodder, be-
cause the quantity may be more cas-
lily measured, and when chopped and
mixed with small amount of water
all dust is prevented.
When hay is scarce, clean, oat straw
chopped with hay and mixed with
bran or meal. and slightly moistened,
aids mastication and digestion.
Chopped feed is particularly good
for work horses when they have but a
comparatively short time in which to
feed. A horse Is unable to masticate
a sufficient amount of roughage with
In few minutes and where the feed
ing time is shortened by stress of
work the feed should always be chop
ped.
These machines can be run by
power or hand and are SO inexpensive
that the cost is no reason why every
farmer should not avail himself Of
their use.

Shot to Death by Baron, Who
Attempts Suicide.

ome.-Baron Palermo, a cavalry
lieutenant. shot and killed Princess
Ciula 'rrigona, lady in waiting to
Queen Helena, Thursday. The baron
then attempted suicide, but was unsuc-
cessful.
The tragedy took place in the Hotel
Rebecchino, the trysting place of the
two members of the Sicilian aristoc-
racy. Some time ago Prince Trigona
realized that his wife was bestowing
her affection upon Baron Palermo at
clandestine meetings, and he institute
ed legal proceedings with view to
obtaining judicial separation. The
courts decision was ready to be given
out, but because of the high standing
of the parties concerned, the presiding
Judge decided to attempt reconcilia-
ton.
1t is said the prince was ready to
pardon his wife's unfaithfulness If she
would consent to renounce Palermo.
The princess acquiesced On her way
to court, where the affair was to be
finally settled, she stopped at the hotel
for last meeting with the baron.
According to the authorities, Baron
Palermo decoyed the princess to the
hotel, where he demanded that she
elope with him. When she refused he
strangled her, afterward shooting her.
