ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA

Eight years ago l got eczema all
over my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and 1t itched until it almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. It spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. 1
got pair OF rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then 1t spread all over
the left side of my chest. A fine doc
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. cried night and
day. Then l decided to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as had gone SO long. There
was marked change the second day,
and so on until / was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in our home. and we decided
after that lesson that 1t is cheap
soap in price and the very best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap in his shaving mug" (Signed)

Again the Poor Fat Man.

Among the passengers on down
town car the other evening were fat
man, lean man. who proved to be
deaf, and couple of giggiy girls. On
one Of the side streets a German band
was engaged in making life miserable
for the residents OF the neighborhood.
The fat man shifted uneasily in his
seat and remarked sarcastically to the
lean man in low tone, "Music!"
The lean man put his hand to his
ear and said, "Eh?"
Music" repeated the man in loud
sr tones. $50
Beg pardon, am not able to hear, -
said the lean man.
Music" yelled the fat man. SO loud
that the passengers all Uttered and
the little giggly girls all grew red in
the face.
"Oh." said the lean man as he
turned around and looked about him.
The little German band was out OF
sight by this time. and the passengers
laughed immoderately at the vain at
tempts of the unfortunate man to find
the object OF the fat mans comments.
Fat men are proverbially good ma
tured. and by that time the Oddly OF
the situation had dawned upon this
particular fat man.
Hum" he said, you folks needn't
laugh. Our friend saw fully as much
music as you and | heard"

enough to keep them going for half
an hour, and reached its height as
they neared the Brown house
Then Brown lost his temper.

that Grant was a greater general than
Lee. you can't sleep here"
It was then two o'clock in the morn

There is no need for clocks on the
Aegean sea any day when the sun is
shining. There nature has arranged
her only timepiece, one that does not
vary though the centuries pass. This
natural time marker is the largest sun
dial In the world. Projecting into the
blue waters Of the sea is large pro-
montory which lifts Its head 5000 feet
above the waves. As the sun swings
round. the pointed shadow Of the

which are at exact distances apart
