SCALES ALL OVER HER BODY

About three years ago I was af
fected by white scales on my knees
and elbows. I consulted a doctor who
treated me for ringworm. I saw no
change and consulted a specialist and
he claimed I had psoriasis. I contin-
ued treatments under him for about
six months until I saw scales break
ing out all over my body save my
face. MY scalp was affected, and my
hair began to fall. then changed
doctors to no avail. l went to two
hospitals and each wanted to make a
study of the case and seemed unable
to cure 1t or assure me Of cure. l
tried several patent medicines and
was finally advised by friend who
has used Cuticura on her children
since their birth, to purchase the
Cuticura Remedies. I purchased a
cake of Soap, the Ointment and the
Resolvent. After the first application
the itching was allayed.
IT am still using the Soap and Oint-
ment and now feel that none other is
good enough for my skin. The psor-
iasis has disappeared and I every
where feel better. My hands were SO
disfgured before using the Cuticura
Remedies that had to wear gloves all
the time. Now my body and hands
are looking fine" (Signed) Miss Sara
Burnett, 2135 Fitzwater st., Philadel-
phia, Pa, Sept. 80, 1910.

BROWNING a Great Talker.

II Lord Houghton talked more than
most people he certainly was eclipsed
by Mr.. Browning, who spoke louder
and with greater persistency than
anyone have ever come across in
nv life. Although I had known him
as a girl, we did not renew our ac-
uuaintance until after my marriage,
when 1 saw a great deal of him. as he
constantly came to our house. He
dined with us often. and used to
come and see me generally every
Sunday afternoon. He was very agree
able and kind, and, although l was
never one of his devoted followers
and often told him l had never been
able to read a line Of his poetry, he
still continued his friendship with
tne. think most people feared rath-
er than loved him-certainly men
did; but women adore poets. and
they worshiped Mr.. Browning.-From

COFFEE HEART
Very Plain In Some People.

A great many people go on suffering
from annoying ailments for a long
time before they can get their own
consent to give up the indulgence
from which their trouble arises.
A gentleman in Brooklyn describes
his experience, as follows:
"1 became satisfied some months
ago that owed the palpitation of the
heart from which I suffered almost
daily. to the use Of coffee, q had been
q coffee drinker for 80 years. but I
found It very hard to give up the bev-
erage.
"One day ran across a very sem
Btble and straightforward presenta-
ton Of the claims of Postum, and
was so impressed thereby that 1 con-
Guided to give 1t trial
my experience with it was unsat-
asfactory till I learned how it ought
TO be prepared-by thorough boiling
Tor not less than Is or 20 minutes.
After learned that lesson there was
no trouble.
Postum proved to be a most palat-
able and satisfactory hot beverage,
and have used it ever since.
THE effect on my health has been
most salutary. The heart palpitation
from which used to suffer so much,
particularly after breakfast, has dis
appeared and never have a return of
1t except when I dine or lunch away
from home and drink the old kind Of
coffee because Postum is not served.
I find that Postum cheers and inv1g-
crates while 1t produces no harmful
stimulation. Name given by Postum

OLD THEATER LOTTERY
CHICAGO SHOW HOUSE BROUGHT
100000 IN 1867.
Builder of Crosby's Opera House Went
Broke on Enterprise and Decided
to Dispose of Place by
Lottery.

Doubtless In the rummage Of a good
many homes In this country might
still be found elaborate and ornate
certificates of chance in the great lot
terry of Crosby's opera house. Chicago.
the drawings for which took place
January 81, 1867 Nearly one hundred
thousand of those chances were sold
opera house retaining more than TWEEN
ty-f1ve thousand himself after the sale
had closed.
This beautiful theater, famous in
its day, was erected by Uranus H.
Crosby, a prosperous wholesale liquor
merchant, who went to Chicago from
Massachusetts. He planned so mag
nificently that when he had his build
ing finished and furnished he had put
into it not only all his business money,
but most of his private fortune as
well, the institution standing him
about 100000 1t was too early for
a temple Of art" in Chicago, and the
builder went broke. Then it was that
the plan to sell the house by lottery
was formed and carried out. The
prospectus described the building and
its furnishings, the latter including a
number Of very costly paintings. For
months the sale went on. The pur7
chasers covered the whole country.
The hopes of the winners ran high,
not only because Of the capital prize,
the opera house itself. but because OF
the lesser prizes. especially the paint
ings.
The drawing was directed by a
board Of men representing half dozen
cities. For two days before 1t took
place train loads of ticket holders
rolled into Chicago. On the Sunday
preceding the Monday of the drawing
the streets were crowded. Improvised
sleeping accommodations had to be
provided for the vast throng. Every
hall, as we'll as every hotel and board
ing house, was filled to its capacity.
The grand prize was not reached I'M
til the one hundred and thirteenth
drawing, and 1t went to a man who
was in Chicago, one Of the few who
had forgotten all about his investment
and knew nothing, at the time, OF the
drawing-A. H. Lee Of Prairie du
Rocher, III. Several of the paintings,
including Bierstadt's "The Yosemite
Valley" were drawn by Mr.. Crosby.
Four days after the drawing Mr..
Lee went to Chicago, but, in recogni'
ton of Mr.. Crosby's high purposes
and the sacrifices they had cost him,
offered to sell him the theater for
100000, which price was paid to him
by Mr.. Crosby out of the proceeds OF
the lottery. This restoration OF for
tune did not last long. The opera
house was destroyed in the great fire
of 1871

hypothesis that all of these are de-
scended from a single species, having
been modified in form and color dur
ing the course of ages.
Of the reptiles, the most interesting
are the turtles and lizards. The for

swarmed over the islands. They were
huge, measuring sometimes three feet
from the breast shell to the dome of
the back; slow of movement, making
about four miles day when walking;
long, thin necks and curiously small
heads and broad fat fappers: their
whole appearance suggesting some
dwarfed descendant of the Pleistocene
age. Some specimens weighed as
much as 600 pounds, but these giants
are very rare nowadays. An expedi-
ton that sailed from San Francisco
