DELIVERY CRASHES
INlO ST. CAR

Homer Ross, driving Atwood's gro
cery wagon, collided with Ninth
street car last night about 1880 o'clock
at the corner OF Ninth st., and Kansas
Ave, badly Gripping his horse but
without injury to himself
Ross had been driving east on kan
sas Ave, and had just turned north
on Ninth St when the horse crashed
into the car also going north. The an
imal went partly under the car and it
took several men TO pull him out.
Broken glass from the car windows
cut the horse around the eyes and it
also received other bad cuts, practi-
cally running its usefulness.
Ross retained his seat on the wag
on, miracuously escaping injury.

EYES WOULD BURN AND STING

ut is just a yenr ago that my sis
ter came over here to us. She had
been here only O few weeks when her
eyes began to be red, and to burn and
sting as IL she had sand in them.
Then we used all of the home rene
dies. She washed her eyes with salt
water, used not tea to battle them
with, and bandaged them over night
with tea leaves, but all to no purpose.
She went to the drug store and got
some salve, but she grew constantly
worse. She vas scarcely able to look
in the light. At last she decided to
go to a doctor, because she could
hardly work any more The doctor
said it was a very severe disease. and
II she did not follow his orders close
Iy she might lose he. eyyess!sht He
made her eyes burn und applied eiec-
ointments. In the two and a half or
three months that she went to the
doctor, we could see very little i'm
provement.
Then we had read so much how
people had been helped by Cuticura
that We thought we would try 1t, and
we cannot be thankful enough that we
used it. My sister used the Cuticura
Pills for purifying the blood, bathed
only with Cuticura Soap, and at night
after washing, she anointed her eyes
very gently on the outside with the
Cuticura Ointment. In one week, the
swelling was entirely gone from the
eyes, and after a month there was no
longer any mucus or watering Of the
eyes. She could already sec better,
and in six weeks she was cured"
