ITCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

81 suffered from the early part OF
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first l
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, etc., 1 found no relief what
ever. After that 1 diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of it's dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
of my scalp became SO intense that l
thought / should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching OF
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, l decided to purchase a box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake OF
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
a few days 1 recognized a marked
change in my condition. l bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes of Cuticura Soap in all,
duu AFTER d low udyo L was
free from the itching and burning.
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter I will never
be without a cake of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. 1 highly recommend
the Cuticura Remedies to anyone suf-
fering from similar skin eruptions and
hope you will publish my letter SO
that others may learn of Cuticura
Remedies and be cured" (Signed)

Fighting Man.

It is mans nature to fight. 1t Is his
merit to fight for what he believes to
be right. Courage and bravery are
not achieved by hiring a lawyer. A
man who is not willing to fight to the
death for the right or for his own Is
not as good or. complete a man as one
who is is willing. But opinions about
this are not so important as the fact
that it is mans nature to fight, and
that neither resolutions nor legislation
nor provision to get over all kinds OF
trouble in any other way than fighting
will avail.-Ellwood Hendricks, in At
lantic.

One of the New BAGS.

The newest handbags are quite
small, doubtless in contrast to the
mammoth ones we have been carry
ing. The favorite shape is oblong,
about seven inches wide and five deep.
The special favorites for spring are
in colored leather in shades OF mauve,
apricot, blue, violet, and red. They
usually carry on the outer flap three
small initials in gold or in a darker
shade than the leather.
Most of these bags, though small.
have on one side compartments for
mirror and vanity case and one the
other a place for handkerchief and
card case. Others have a special
change purse attached by a light
chain, so 1t can be easily pulled out In

ForestaIIed.

District Attorney ]. F. Clarke OF
New York was talking about the re-
cent kidnapping cases.
"Kidnapers," he said, ARE apt to
disappear now. They have become
too unpopular. Why, a kidnaper is as
unpopular as a widower.
widows, now, are very attractive,
but about a widower there is always
something uncanny, something almost
clammy-I mean, of course, from the
matrimonial point of view.
81 know a widower who is thinking
of marrying again. He thought he'd
breach the matter delicately the other
morning to his little daughter, so he
said:
".Ah, my dear, how l did love your
mother!'
But the little girl gave him a sus-
picious look and snapped:
"Say do" not did," papa"

A man does not count as wasted the
time he spends In thinking over his
business, but he seems 10th to give
the same sort of careful attention to
himself and to his health. And yet
his business would be worth little
without good health to care for 1t. A
business man tells how he did him
self good by carefully thinking over
his physical condition, investigating to
find out what was needed, and then
changing to the right food.
For some years I had been bother
ed a great deal after meals. My food

producing heaviness and dullness and
sometimes positive pain. OF course
this rendered me more or less unfit
for business, and l made up my mind
that something would have to be done.

with ~indigestible food, was responsible
for many of the ills that human flesh
endures, and that l was furnishing

months now, and am glad to a. that

splendid work of art and Old enough to hold in
reverence the memory Of one of the great states
