that Donatell and he had once been
rivals in love-about eight years ago.
Donatell had loved and had been bit

Donatell committed them all for the
sake of eight-year-old vengeance, they
simply decline to believe it. Besides,
they pertinently ask. would Donatell
kill the whole family of Henry Wayne
because he loved Mrs. Burnham? The
arrest of Donatell is laughed at and
the finger of suspicion, almost the

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

II can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me OF four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago l noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger. and not
giving 1t any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
II would have them in water for a
long time. they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. 1 could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves could think of, I went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
so after hearing 30 much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, I pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all used"

Commission appropriations will be

passed by a decisive vote and that a
Supreme Court decision has been

on hand and that the state treasurer
would not be slow in turning 1t over
to the proper parties, meaning the
Highway Commission. The governor
would not go into details. Gov. Shat

their breeders the freedom of a pond
