HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

...
about two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed, the
skin would scale of, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When m! hands first started to get
sore, there were small blisters like wa.
.er blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, 1t just seemed as
though l could tear the skin all of.
would scratch them and the skin would
peel off, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor.
ried me very much. as had never
had anything the matter with my skin.
/ was SO afraid l would have to give
up my employment.
MY doctor said he didn't think It
would amount to anything. But It kept
getting worse. One day saw a piece
in one of the papers about a lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and was cured. ] decided to try
them, and my hands were all healed
before I had used one cake of CutI-
cura Ointment. I am truly thankful
for the good results from the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them
I was cured, and did not have to lose
q day from work. / have had no re-
turn Of the skin trouble" (Signed)

Mexico City.-Stoned and forcibly
robbed Of 5000 pesos by mob of
Maderistas, in the principal thorough
fare OF the capital, General Bernardo
Reyes, candidate for the presidency in
opposition Of. Francisco /. Madero, was
forced to abandon an effort to address
his constituents and to run the gaunt-
let of jeering crowd upon whom the
police had received orders not to fire
except as a last resort.
Repeatedly the police charged the
turbulent element and the records Of
the Red Cross, the White Cross and
the commissaries account for forty
three wounded as result of the dis
orders. Most of these were injured by
stones but many show bruises and
cuts made by the soldiers and mount
ed police.
General Reyes was scheduled to
make his initial speech of the cam
paign in front of the big ten-million-
dollar national theater in course of
construction. Shortly before the time
partisans of Reyes began gathering in
the neighborhood of the theater. They
clashed with a crowd Of Maderistans.
The Maderistas crowded about Gen
eral Reyes machine and prevented
him from making his speech. The
automobile was abandoned, its occu-
pants walking the length of the Ale
media to the center of the disturbance
a distance of four blocks, a crowd fol-
lowing, throwing stones and other
missiles. Mounted policemen who
had been trailing the crowds, now
rode their horses into the mob which
gave way before them. Entering

escorts went to the second story,
