COULD NOT STAND SUFFERING
FROM SKIN ERUPTION

II have been using Cuticura Soap
three months and 1 am glad to say
that they cured me of a most annoy
ing skin eruption. 1t began by my no
ticing red blotches appearing on my
face and scalp. Although they were
rather disfiguring, I did not think any
thing of them until they began to get
scaly and dry and to itch and burn
until / could not stand the suffering.
Then l began to use a different soap,
thinking that my old kind might be
hurting me. but that didn't seem to do
any good. l went to two different doc
tors but neither seemed to relieve me
any. / lost many nights sleep in con-
tinual scratching, sometimes scratch
Ing till drew the blood on my face
and head. Then I started in to use
the Cuticura Remedies and in two
months l was entirely relieved OF that
awful pest am so delighted over
my cure by Cuticura Remedies that
shall be glad to tell anybody about

The new governor Of a western
state has two sons. One Is big and
husky like his father, but the other is
more slight: and at times he rather
vexes his father by his ,affectation OF
'rah-'rah-boy clothes and a general air
of lassitude and dudishness.
The two sons and the father were
in the library one night and the name
of prizefght referee came into the
conversation. The 'rah-'rah boy had
been sitting by, twiddling his thumbs.
but his ears pricked up at the mans
name and he drawled: II rather like

TO DRAW AND HOLD TRADE

Most OF u.s." said Mr. Shoveton. ARE looking out
for ourselves; I think we'll all admit that The
trouble with most Of us is that we don't do this
intelligently; are always thinking of ourselves
and interest only; and that's where we
slip cog. Let me illustrate
Il buy fruit to carry home; I've done that for
well. good many years, and for a long time I
bought around in various places. Then day
some years ago stopped at a store where liked
the looks Of the fruit and where noticed a mo-
ment later the paper bags were little heavier
than those l had been accustomed to find
And when this dealer had put the fruit in one of
these bags he didn't simply twist the neck Of 1t
and hand 1t over to me In form nconvenient
to carry He folded the top of the bag over and
rolled 1t down to form handle-a grip piece; and
then he tied this bundle around securely with
twine. thus making 1t up altogether into a bundle
that was secure and handy to carry.
"Of course liked all that and found that he
always did up his packages putting on some
times wood and wire handle; but always he made
the package secure and handy for me- He had
some thought for me- and I've been buying Of him
ever since; and II he should move I'd follow him.
l would go out Of my way to trade with him.
THE moral is this: Any small storekeeper II

human quality that prompts him faithfully to con.

To Have Nursery and Play
Ground at the Fair.

Mrs. Nella Allen, we'll known in this
city as a trained nurse, has announced
that she indends establishing play
ground and nursery at the Fair this
year for the benefit of mothers and
children.
The Fair Association has kindly
granted Mrs. Allen the concession
without charge which will allow her
to make her charges merely nominal
and within the reach of all.
The plan is to inclose sufficient
space with woven wire fence, partial
ly covered with an open tent for a
playground for the older children in
which there will be sandpile and
other devices for the amusement Of
her charges. Another portion of the
grounds will be devoted to nursery
tent in which very small children may
be left by their parents while they
enjoy the fair. Everything necessary
for the care and attention Of the
children will be provided for and Mrs.
Allen informs us that no parent need
have the slightest fear that child
will be in any manner neglected while
under her care.
When a child is left at the play
ground or nursery, tag bearing
number will be attached to its cloth
ing and duplicate thereof be given
to the parent The name of the
child, its tag number and the hour of
its entrance will be entered into
book, and by these means it is
thought that it will be impossible for
mistakes of any kind to occur.
The playground and nursery will
not be run with the expectation of
making a profit, but only as an ex-
pertinent, and a nominal cost of five
cents per hour.

Victory for Drys in Maine.

Portland, Me-, Sept. 12.-After a
day of almost constant surprises, it
appeared tonight on the face of the
returns from town and city clerks in
all but 1856 towns and plantations,
that prohibition was not defeated in
the special election of yesterday, as
indicated last night.
The results, thus far tabulated,
show majority for prohibition of
465 votes. Most of the towns yet to
be heard from have been unofficially
reported with small majorities favor
ing the retention of the prohibitory
amendment in the Constitution, and
any change in the vote of these
places is likely to help the prohibi-
tionists.
In addition to the 465 majority
shown by the clerks returns, there
are fifty more "dry' votes known to
exist in Portland, which are not in
Guided in the city clerks report, be-
cause of an admitted error.
The change from an apparent VIC
tory from the wet side by zoo votes
to 500 votes in favor of the "drys'
came after prohibitionists had con-
coded defeat and representatives of
those who sought the repeal of the
constitutional amendment had sent
out numerous statements as to what
would be done next.
