The market for human skin Is going to
pieces. Where 1t once commanded SIS
square inch up It bids fair to be soon just hu"
man skin, with no value except to its original
possessor. Heroic husbands, fathers, sons ana
sweethearts who bravely let themselves be
stripped of their hides to cover some death
threatening gap on the bodies OF their beloved
may soon cease to have opportunity for such
devotion.
A little red powder one can get in any paint
store is astounding the surgeons with its per.
formances as a substitute for the heroes and
their skins, the New York correspondent OF
the Denver Republican writes.
Scarlet red is its name and dollars worth

as salve and applied to the edges Of the gap

Then you can almost see the skin grow. Dr.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

Il can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me of four long
years Of eczema. About four years
ago I 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
If would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come I could
lay pin in them. After using all
the salves l could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l 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"

ment are sold everywhere, a sample

One thing for which the See America First

the minds Of Americans that all sightseeing
must needs be done in the summer vacation
season. There are many classes of people,

most impossible to leave home in midsummer
but who could very readily take a trip IN the
autumn or winter. Efforts are being made to
point out to these people that there Is just as
much which can be seen to the best advantage
in winter as there is in the category OF summer
