CURED ITCHING AND BURNING

Il was taken with the itch in April,
1904, and used most everything. I
had a friend pay me a visit from
Cumberland, and she advised me to
use Cuticura Remedies which l did.
The cure was certainly quick, and l
use them to this day. had it terri
bly, under my knees. l only used one
box of pills, but two boxes of Cuti-
cura Ointment, and l use the Cuti-
cura Soap all the time. l hope this
will benefit others, as it has me, after
DR.. - and others could do moth
ing for me-" (Signed) Miss Lu John
son, 1923 Ninth ST., n. w, Wash
tngton, d. c., April 3, 1910.
In a later letter Miss Johnson adds:
"The trouble began with an eruption
under my knees, and extended up
wards toward my waist, until l was
not able to sit down. 1t kept a or
slant itching and burning all the time,
night and day. I went to my doctor,
but he could do me no good after I
do not know hOw many medicines he
gave me, and then told me 1 would
be compelled to go to a skin special
list, which | positively refused to do. l
cried all the time. Finally I made
up my mind to try Cuticura Rem
edies, and tried Cuticura Pills. Oint-
ment and Soap, and was entirely
cured of the itching three days after
I started using them. The healing
took about eight days. 1 consider
Cuticura Remedies marvellous, and
would recommend them everywhere"

Prevention of tuberculosis it is as
certained that over 600 cities and
towns of the United States, besides
about 100 in Canada, are engaged in

different agencies at work in the cru
SADIE, an increase of nearly 700 per
cen in the last seven years.
The new directory lists 421 tuber-
culOsis sanatoria hospitals, and day
camps; 511 associations and commit
tees for the prevention of tubercul-
osis; 342 special dispensaries; 6S
open air schools; 90 hospitals for the
insane and penal institutions, making
special provision for their tuberculosis
inmates; besides giving an account

But am poor, l have nothing"
she rejoined.
There was indeed much in her sit
uatiOn to excite sympathy. 1t had
been through her own act that nego-
tiations between England and Texas
were broken off. All chance of Mex
leo to regain property in Texas was
lost through her influence with Van
Zandt. Now, when all was done, here
she was. deserted even by those who
had been her allies in this work.
MY dear senora," said John Cal
houn, becoming less formal and more
kindly, "you shall have funds sufficient
to make you comfortable at least for
a time after your return to Mexico.
| am not authorized to draw upon
our e~xchequer. and you, of course,
must prefer all secrecy in these mat
tiers. I regret that my personal for
tune is not so large as it might be,
but, in such measure as | may, l shall
assist you, because | know o need
assistance. In return, yOu must leave
this country. The flag is down which
once foated over the house Of Mexico
here"
She hid her face behind her fan,
and Calhoun turned aside.
Sonora, have you ever seen this
slipper?" he asked, suddenly placing
upon the table the little shoe which
for a purpose l had brought with me,
and meantime thrown upon the table.
She flashed a dark look, and did not
speak.
One night, some time ago, our
husband pursued a lady across this
town to get possession of that very
slipper and its c%ontents! There was
in the toe of that little shoe a mes
sage. AS you know, we got from 1t
certain information, and therefore de-
vised certain plans, which you have
helped us to carry out. Now, as per-
haps you have had some personal ami
mus against the other lady in these
same complicated affairs, l have taken
the liberty of sending a special mes
senger to ask her presence here this
morning. | should like you two to
meet, and, if that be possible, to part
with such friendship as may exist in
the premises"
I looked suddenly at Mr.. Calhoun.
It seemed he was planning without
my aid.
Yes" he said to me, smiling, Il
have neglected to mention to you that
the Baroness o Ritz also is here, in
another apartment of this place. If
you please, I shall now send for her
also"
He signaled to his old negro at
tendant. Presently the latter opened
the door, and with a deep bow an
nounced the Baroness o Ritz, who
entered, followed closely by Mr.. Cal
houn's ~inseparable friend, old DR..
Ward.
The difference in breeding between
these two women vas to be seen at a
glance. The Dona Lucrezia was beau
tifuI in a way, but lacked the thor
~oughbred quality which comes in the
highest types of womanhood. Af1ict-
ed by nothing but a somewhat mer-
cenary or personal grief, she showed
her lack of gameness in adversely. On
the other hand, Helena Won Ritz, who
had lived tragedy all her life, and was
now in the climax of such tragedy,

men never know when they are

to was about as distant as they make
'em in her greeting"

was smiling and debonair as though
she had neve been anything but
wholly content with life! She was
robed now in some light flmy green
material, caught up here and there on
the shoulders and secured with silk
Ell knots. Her white neck showed,
her arms were partly bare with the
short sleeves of the time. She stood,
composed and easy, a figure fit for any
company or any court, and somewhat
shaming our little assembly, which
never was a court at all, only a pri-
vate meeting in the office of a dis
credited and disowned leader in a re-
publican government. Her costume
and her bearing were Helena Won
Ritz's answer to a woman's fate! A
deep color famed in her cheeks. She
stood with head erect and lips smiling
brilliantly. Her curtsey was grace
itself. Our dingy little Office was
glorifed.

gan.
"On the contrary, I am sure, my

matters concerned with his little slip

Calhoun. 81 wish you personally to
say to that lady, if you will, that
Senior Yturrio regarded this little re-
ceptacle rather as official than person
al post"
For one moment these two women
looked at each other, with hat on
their faces which would be hard to
describe. At last the baroness spoke:
'It is not wholly my fault, Sonora
Yturrio, if you husband gave you
cause to think there was more than
diplomacy between us. At least, l can
say to you that it was the sport of it
alone, the intrigue, if you please,
which interested me. l trust you will

Mr.. Calhoun gravely offered her an
arm; and so with a rustic of her silks
