Such a conference. 1t Is hoped, will be
particularly productive of good results on
account of the opening of the Panama
canal within a comparatively short time.
Director John Barrett of the an-Ameri-
can Union said, in connection with this
phase of the situation. that the purpose
and plan of the conference is the awak
ening of commercial organizations. rep
resentative business men and the general
public of both North and South America
to an appreciation of the possibilities CT
Pan American commerce and the neces-
sity of preparing for the opening of the
Panama canal
BY cooperating with the Department of
State it has been possible to secure
number of men thoroughly familiar with
conditions in Latin America who will
make short addresses and answer ques-
tions along commercial lines. Diplomatic
and consular officers of the United States
accredited to Latin America, who may
be either home on leave or detailed for
this purpose, will be present. In addi-
ton to this the diplomatic and consular
tions accredited to the United States
have been invited to be present to dis
cuss the subject from the standpoint of
their countries. particularly with refer
ence to the exchange Of commerce and
the extension of the market for their
products in the United States. But even
more thorough understanding of the sit
uation will be obtained from the fact that
the best export and import trade ex-
perts. both official and private. will be
present to speak on the practical side of
the matter. These men will give talks
on subjects that manufacturers. exporters
and importers who are not yet familiar
with the field will want to hear dis
cussed. Among the subjects already
chosen for discussion are Credits
Trade Marks Tariff Regulations"
Banking Facilities" Packing ''Adver-
tising.' Catalogues Freight Rates"
steamship Routes Laws Governing
Statesmen and Samples" and others of
equal Importance to those who may do
business with the Latin American coun-
tries in the future.

PIMPLES COVERED HIS BACK

MY troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form Of small eruptions and
itching and kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass of
pimples which would burn and itch at
night SO that l could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot Of blood
Il tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed l was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on chair. l was
finally given a set of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks I
could see and feel great relief I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and felt like a new
being. Now / am in good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and I
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rene
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. L would not be without
them" (Signed) w. A. Armstrong,

Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
dicial turn Of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunf1ower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
ut has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food
"Grape-Nuts keeps US all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive of
disease it is beyond value. nave beer.
particularly impressed by the bened-
clal effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face,
blemishes, skin eruptiols, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
~As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound Of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. It sat
isles the appetite and strengthens the
power Of resisting fatigue, while it's
use involves none Of the disagreeable
consequences that som etimes follow

Two pistol shots rang out in quick
succession, and Clifton Wilbur. draw
ing his own gun, sprang to his feet
He waited moment. listening for 9TH
er shots, but none came, SO raising
his gun he fired two shots in answer
to the signal-the woodsman's call for
help.
The shots were replied to again. and
getting sense of the direction, Will
bur plunged into the thick growth that
surrounded his new camp. The shots
seemed to come from the direction Of
his old camp, and as he forced his way
through the tangle of shrubs and vines
ne wondered who had sent the call. A
few guests still remained at the big
hotel down by the springs, but it was
unlikely tbsy would be out at this time
in the eveaing.
For mcfe than a mile he made his
way in straight line, then he paused
and fired twice. This time he was an.
swered by only one shot, and he
smiled to himself.
Only five-shot gun, and no extra
cartridges. 1t must be one of the peo-
pie from the hotel; woman I'll bet.
No man would pack a gun with only
the cartridges in the chambers
Sounds pretty close"
He altered his direction slightly. and
plunged on again. This time it was
only few minutes before he emerged
upon a clearing, at the far end of
which he discerned a little huddled
figure
1T is woman" he exclaimed to
himself, as he hurried forward. At this
moment the clouds that had covered
the moon broke, and, through a rift,
the cold light streamed to touch with
silver the rapidly reddening leaves
and make more dense the velvety
shadows.
AS the woman struggled to her feet.
Wilbur gave cry Of surprise. For
the moment he imagined that he had
seen a vision, but The next instant a
musical voice had uttered his name.

manded Wilbur as he knelt beside the

Baffiinq the Mosquitoes.

Last summer we were pestered with
the awful nuisance, mosquitoes, night
after night, and on one occasion
killed between thirty and forty in our
bedroom, at midnight. The following
day l took wooden cloth, put little
kerosene oil on it, and rubbed both
sides of the wire mesh of the screens
with it. That night one lonely mos
quito disturbed our rest Two or three
times each week | rubbed the. screens
in like manner, and we enjoyed peace
