down by bending the wrist will work
wonders in a short time. If the skin
on the upper arm is rough and red

In the days before the frequent in

He Is Of Indian extraction on his
fathers side and Is one of New York's
oldest and most highly respected citi-
Gems. While attending the old Null

young Gross won several prizes for ex-

When the civil war broke out he Sc
cured the position Of cook in the Army

witnessed some stirring scenes on tho
battlefield. While he was not an en-
listed soldier. he nevertheless per-
formed some difficult tasks for the sol

times Of the approach Of the enemy.

wounded In the performance of his
duty.
