TWO CURED OF SKIN TROUBLE

81 have suffered from birth with
skin trouble, and doctored with four
of the best doctors that could be
found, without any lasting effects.
Then l used several kinds of patent
medicines, only growing worse in
stead of better. After using them a
long time l was SO bad that 1t took
the hair off my head, and even my
eyebrows too, and made my eyes so
bad that l was kept in dark room
for several weeks. l was out Of my
head for q long time. A friend told
me to get some Of the Cuticura REM
edies and she knew they would cure
me, so / got some packages Of Cuti-
used them and was cured. This was
about two years ago, and have never
had a touch of 1t since.
also my husband had had salt
rheum for twenty-three years, and
after l had such a wonderful cure
through the use Of the Cuticura Rene
dies, he sent for some Cuticura Soap,
SullCuid OinlhhSiI anu iNCSOi'ShI, ohN
used them himself and he was cured.
His flesh was covered with stuff like
fish scales, especially in the winter, and
he even had it in his hair so bad he had
! to keep his hair cut close to his head.
It even grew down on his face, but we
are now both happy over our cures
through the use Of Cuticura treat
ment." (Signed) Mrs. Laurence But

Mrs. Haldane at the same moment
and with one voice.
The intimation, however. and the
feeling expressed in both cases were
decidedly different. Both were sur.
prised: but Mrs. Haldane's surprise
was lost in indignation. In Haldane's
amazement, there was a shade of re-
lief. A possibility instantly leaped In

bitter. "it was told to me the next

II Would Take Hundred Millions to
Duplicate II Today.
One of the most familiar questions
asked by personally conducted" tour
lists visiting Egypt and the great pyra-
mid built by Cheops is. 81 wonder now
much 1t cost to build itY' A building
contractor with head for figures and
building estimates has estimated that
the Cheops pyramid could not be dupi
Gated today for less than $10O,0O0,0OO.
With modern machinery and the en-
ployment of 10000 stonecutters, haul
ers, quarrymen, fnasons and laborers
duplicate Of the pyramid could be
erected In two years.
1t has been calculated that the work
really required the services Of 100000
men for thirty years. The Cheops
pyramid occupies space of 12a acres
and is 746 feet high and contains 143.-
315.000 cubic yards of stone and gran
ite. The material alone represents an
item Of $360O0,000, while the labor
would increase this about by $7200O.-
900. To this must be added $3,000,0OO
for tools, transportation and similar
items. The pyramid is built on a solid
rock $50 feet deep. and to build foun-
dation of this character would add to
the cost to the extent of making the
total Of 500, 100000. New York World.

damage was done save that done by
the water which was not a great deal
as most Of the goods were moved

The fire burned very slowly and
although it took the hose wagons
some time to reach the scene, it did
not break out until just before the
water was turned on.
