Several years ago an Atchison cou.

out. 1t seems that the wife went into
the kitchen and shaved" all day. She
made bread, pies, cakes, cookies and
pork and beans. She boiled a tongue,
made a potato salad, stuffed eggs,
made a custard and brown bread.
When her husband came home at 6
o'clock in the evening he found her
dressed up. And on the table was
cold tongue, pork and beans, fresh
bread, cake, cookies, pie, potato salad,

SCALP WAS BADLY AFFECTED

II am more thar gratifed by the
successful results l obtained by the
use Of the Cuticura Remedies. For
several years my scalp was very bad
ly affected with dandrun and scales.
My scalp itched terribly at times and
my hair fell ut. My coat collar would
be actually white with the dandruf
that had fallen from my head. My
profession being that Of a barber, I
was particular about having my hair
in good condition, and was also in a
position to try many lotions, etc., for
the scalp. These had little or no eff
feet. I had heard so much about the
Cuticura Remedies that l resolved to
try them. I shampooed my head
with Cuticura Soap twice a week and
after drying my head thoroughly, I
anointed parts of my scalp with Cuti-
cura Ointment. I was pleased from
the outset, and continued to keep up
this treatment. To think that only
three cakes of Cuticura Soap and one
and One-half boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment rid my head Of this annoying
trouble made me feel quite contented.
1 have now got a thick growth Of hair
and I am never troubled with any
dandruf or itching of the scalp. There
is no question but that the Cuticura
Remedies cured me. I frequently
recommend them to my customers,
and they think a great deal Of them"
