HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

'I can truthfully say Cuticura Rem edies have cured me of four long years of eczema. About four years ago l noticed some little pimples coming on my little finger, and not giving 1t any attention. it soon became worse and spread all over my hands If 1 would have them in water for a long time, they would burn like fire and large cracks would come. I could lay a pin in them. After using all the salves I could think of, went to three different doctors, but all did me no good. The only relief l got was scratching.
 So after hearing so much about the wonderful Cuticura Remedies, pur- chased one complete set, and after using them three days my hands were much better. Today my hands are entirely well. one set being all used D tSigned) Mice Etta Narber. R. F D. 2, Spring Lake. Mich, Sept. 26, 1910.

WHAT THEY THOUGHT OF HIM
Remark by No Means Complimentary Made by Constituent of Repre-
 sentative Underwood.

Representative Underwood. chair man of the ways and means commit tee in congress, represents what Is known as a manufacturing district. because it contains all the factories and smelters ih and about Birming- ham, Ala. But he also has among his constituents lot of farmers-of which fact he is now painfully aware.
 He drove out to settlement in Bibb county one afternoon to persuade the farmers they ought to vote for him. As he stepped up to the porch of little store an old man rushed up to him with the request:
 Please sign this paper. It's a peti. ton 10 Congressman Underwood to have young lady postmistress here 9
 I'd be glad to sign it. said Under wood politely, but as I'm not a resi- dent of this community, my name wouldn't help you

GENERAL COTTON CROP GOOD.
General Reports Show That Crop ia
 Good After an Adverse Season

Little Rock-While it is generally conceded that the cotton crop will be considerably short of what it was thought would be made this season. many reports are that the damage will not be as great as it was esti- mated week ago it would be
 Reports from reliable sources show that the leaves have all been stripped from the cotton stalks, thus exposing the forms and unmatured bolls to the rays of the sun and causing them 10 open prematurely or dry up on the stalk, but the same reports state that the bottom or first crop is better than usual. In many places II is estimated that the damage will cut the crop to about 90 per cent of a normal yield. while in other sections the damage is not believed to be near So great

Secretive Family Bible.

Tommy was a yenturesome lad but nobody had ever credited him with sufficient courage to shake his head in contradiction when the Sunday school visitor, who wished to show off his knowledge of Biblical history, asserted that Sarah. Abraham wife, was the only woman whose age was recorded in the Bible. Seeing the disappearing motion of the little head in the front row the visitor reiterated Sarah was the. only woman whose age is re- corded fn the Bible" Then Tommy spoke right up: There are three more that know of said he. "Who?" asked the astonished visitor Mother, grandmother and Aunt Lucy" said Tommy.

 "I know of so many cases where wo- men have been cured by Lydia E. Pink hams Vegetable Compound that can say to every suffering woman if that medicine does not help her, there is nothing that will."-Mrs. JANETzKI. 2963 Arch St., Chicago, III.
 This is the age of substitution, and women who want a cure should insist upon Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound just as this woman did, and not accept something else on which tho druggist can make little more profit.
 Women who are passing through this critical period or who arc suffering from any of those distressing ills pe- culiar to their sex should not lose sight of the fact that for thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for fe- male ills. In almost every community you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia l.. Pink. hams Vegetable Compound.

Extensive changes are to be made
on the Kamehameha School grounds
this year, according to the trustees
plans. These include the tearing down
of several existing buildings among
them the old gymnasium, the old
dairy buildings and the old museum
workshop. None of the buildings In
their present condition is needed.
The new model dairy building will
be completed sometime in DC ober at
cost of $4,000 and will be up-to-
date and embody In every respect the
latest ideas In farm building con-

impetus to the practical work done

Much of the work Of tearing down
the buildings and clearing of the
campus will be done by the students

en- there, which would have been the
better arrangement.
The drivers of drays were found to
he in the habit of placing their dray
and team right across the wharf so
that competitors couldn't get in. In
this way they could get the first load
of stuff up the town and get name
for smart business.
In one instance they found out
where the system led to trouble. A
Chinaman had asked the people on
the wharf to straighten out a team
that was blocking him and a policeman
instead of clearing the jam had hit
him over the head with his baton in
flicting nasty wound that necessi-
tated him being sent to the hospital
for dressing.
They found that fertilizer was be-
ing piled eight bugs high whereas
sugar was only allowed to go six
bags. The extra weight on the one
section OF the wharf was more than
should be placed there.
After going into committee of the
whole the commissioners reported that
they had adopted the rules and re-
gulations with the exception of the
clause referring to cargo for tran
shipment and marked as such. This
will be allowed to remain on the
wharf for ten days. BY publishing the
rules today they will become opera
tive on October | when w. X. Fos-
ter assumes his duties as harbor-
master.
II was decided that no more springs
should he put on the wharves. Chair
man Campbell explaining that this
was an idea copied by one of his pre-
decessors from San Francisco wharf
where there was big fall of the tide
He also stated that the Matson wharf
was not in shaky condition as all
that was the matter was that the piles
had some of the sheathing stripped
of.
The methods of the Inter-lsland
Company In making each dray back
mp to the sings and have the freigh.
taken of before they would allow
another to come was criticized very
severely. This meant that there were
always long line of waiting drays
and that the merchants were always
complaining that their wagons were
long time away from their stores.
The commissioners are to make an
attempt to acquire all the Territorial
land along the waterfront. There are
several leases expiring very shortly
and the commissioners feel that they
should have the disposal of them.

Members of the board have been
going around the various wharves and
watching the manner in which the
work is being carried and as con-
sequence they are of the opinion that
Captain Trip is not the man for the
position of harbormaster. Colonel Nc
Carthy and Secretary Emil Berndt re-
ported yesterday that when the steam

forty-eight hours before. the harbor-
master had berthed the British steam
