HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

Il 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 it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If / would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salVes could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 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" ."

There is always a fascination about

And so It is that. with the fiftieth
anniversary of the Civil war. there is
particular interest attaching to the
man who fred the first shot
There has been some dispute about
1t. but the consensus Of opinion has
settled upon Edmund Rufin as the
one who fired the shot that freed the
slaves" Certain 1t is that he suffered
the i'll fortune that pursues so many
benefactors Of the human race. be-
cause he ended a career of misery by
firing a final shot that gave him en-
trance to that bourne from which no
traveller e,ef returns.s
Withal, he was an unwilling bene-
factor, because he was such an ardent
secessionist that when he saw the

rather than endure Yankee rule"

Newspapers print near
ly every day the story of
some fire disaster involv-
ing the complete destruction
of great property values and
sometimes the loss of human
lives. The annual FIRE losses of the
United States are measured by the
millions; in fact, it is stated that over
two hundred and fifty million dollars
worth of property was wiped out by fire m
the United States last year. While it is true
that the precautions to prevent fire and hre
fighting systems are often inadequate, the
main trouble lies in fling, EoH.frfprOef
building contraction. Experience has proved
that freproof construction is both practicable
and economical. In some industries freproof
building is compelled by law. Reinforced
concrete has come to the front as the most
important agent in building against fire. The
use of cement in building is becoming more
and more common, due to its freproofness,
durability and economy. When building any
thing from the back porch steps to an ofhce
building, concrete construction may be safely
adopted. The use of UHiUertaI Portland
Cement in the concrete will insure cement of the
best quality possible to manufacture. UHiUsr-
