Jumped to Tenth Place.

West Virginia's victorious rifle team
arrived home from Camp Perry, where
they have been engaged in the annual
national competition matches.
The team this year made by far the
best showing of any team in the Uni
ter States and has received prominent
mention in the various army journals
commenting on the shoot. Last year
West Virginia stood 26th of all the
teams at the end of the shoot. This
classification placed it in Glass B.
which is composed of the next Is
teams lower than the highest 10.
From the low position of Goth last year
the West Virginia delegation this year
jumped from almost the bottom in
Glass B to the second place and now
stands 10th among all of the teams

navy, marine corps and national guard

markable, but accounted for when 1t
Is known that it was picked from the
various companies and other organiZa-
tons of the state after they had taken
advantage of every opportunity pre-
scented by Gen. Elliott, who has spared
neither time, money or interest in his
determination to make West Virginia s
team one of the foremost.
In addition to their winning the
lump sum of $3.50 cash for attaining
second place in Class b, the team has
also won about $3.50 cash, numerous
gold, silver and bronze medals and
several cups.

HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

About two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed. the
skin would scale on, and the good
flesh would burn and itch dreadfully.
When my hands first started TO get
sore, there were small blisters like wa
ter blisters which formed. They
itched dreadfully, it just seemed as
though l could tear the skin all of.
would scratch them and the skin would
peel off, and the flesh would be all
red and crack open and bleed. 1t wor-
ried me very much, as l had never
had anything the matter with my skin
l was so afraid l would have to give
up my employment
MY doctor said he didn't think IL
would amount to anything. But it kepS
getting worse. One day | saw a piece
in one of the papers about lady who
had the same trouble with her hands.
She had used Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment and was cured. / decided to try
them, and my hands were all healed
before 1 had used one cake of Cuti-
cura Ointment. / am truly thankful
for the good results from the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment, for thanks to them
