DOCTOR PRESCRIBES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

'T wish to let you know of a couple
of recent cures which l have made by
the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. of this city
came to my office, troubled with
severe skin eruption. At first could
not understand the nature of the case
until l had made careful examina-
tion. I finally traced 1t to his occu-
patton, as he was a painter and deco
rator. 1t was dermatitis in its worst
form. 1t started with slight erup-
ton and would affect most parts OF
his body-thighs, elbows, chest, back
and abdomen-and would terminate in
little pustules. The itching and burn
ing was dreadful and he would almost
tear his skin apart, trying to get re-
lief. l recommended all the various
treatments / could think Of and he
spent about fifteen dollars on prescrip-
tions but nothing seemed to help him.
"1n the meantime my wife who was
continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been trying
different prescriptions and methods
with my assistance, told me she was
going to get some Of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a trial. Her
skin would thicken. break and bleed,
especially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. l could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first ap-
piled the warm baths of Cuticura Soap
and applications of Cuticura Ointment
she saw decided improvement and in
a few days she was completely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending the
Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -, and
this was two months ago. ! told him
to wash with warm baths of the Cuti-
cura Soap and to apply the Cuticura
Ointment generously. Believe me,
from the very first days use of the
Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. l have great
faith in the Cuticura Remedies and
shall always have a good word for
them now that l am convinced of their
wonderful merits" (Signed) B. l..
Whitehead. NJ. d., 10S Dartmouth ST.,
Boston, Mass, July %, 1910. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,
a sample of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to
"Cuticura," Dept. l., Boston.

Onions in Danger.

UNIONS III CdHSCT.
DR.. II. A. Surface, the States Zoolo-
gist, has discovered that the onion
crop, along with some others, is in
danger of being damaged by pest
which f1ourishes because of the un-
usual weather conditions prevailing in
the State Numerous reports have
been received by Dr. Surface from
farmers and truck gardeners that they
are being annoyed for the first time
in many years by an onion worm. The
methods of the worm are a puzzle to
farmers many of whom did not know
it was working until they saw their
plants suddenly wilt and die. DR.. Sur
face says that the worm gets inside
and bores around. 1t is the maggot
from the egg of an onion fly, which
has been rare thus far, and, once it
attacks plant, there is no remedy.
The Zoologist says that a kerosene
spray should be used on the ground
around the onion bed when the small
onions are set out after the "oniop

PICTURE SHOW
IN T0HENVlLkE
Concern to Locate in AmhOy
Avenue Shortly.

Within the next few months Tot
tenville is to have a moving picture
theatre, was the announcement made
in that place yesterday. Israel
Corse, of West New Brighton, to-
gether with some local men have
leased the property in Amboy ae-
nue. between the grocery store of f.
Snackenberg and Lawritz Larsen's
shoe store for the purpose of erecting
a suitable place for the moving pic
ture show. The property is owned
by Mr.. Larsen and has been leased
by those interested for a term of
years. The building will be a one
story structure and will be thorough
ly up to date. 1t is expected to be-
gin operation the first of April.
The management announce that
nothing but high class shows will be
given, with a change of reels each
day. 1t is their object to cater to
nothing but the best. During the
past several weeks representatives
of two three moving picture con-
Germs have been in Tottenville with
an object in view of locating here.
knights of Pythias hall at the head
of Main street, that is owned by
Richmond Lodge, No. 80, X. of P,
it is understood was one of the
places under consideration. This
place is now used for all kinds of
social functions, such as dances, bas-
ketball games, church fairs and en-
tertainments and if a picture show
was to occupy it, it would be the
mean of doing away with all these,
because the rules Of the fire depart
ment for moving picture shows say
that the seats must be fastened to
the floor and cannot be moved.
Another concern it is said was en-
~deavoring to secure a location in
Main street on the property in the
rea of where Boyd's sporting goods
store is located. Several years ago
moving pictures were given in
Knights of Pythias hall under the
auspices of Richmond Lodge, but ow-
ing to the lodge at the time not be-
ing able to comply with the fire de-
partment regulations in regard to
having the seats fastened to the floor
the shows had to be discontinued.
All other requirements, such as
placing fire escapes on the building
and putting fire appliances through
out the building were done.
The concern to locate in Amboy
avenue have good backing and mean
businss.
