HANDS ITCHED AND BURNED

Abbotsford, Wis.-"My son had &c

The eczema started with a rash. His
hands were sore so he could not close
them, and when he wet his hands they
hurt him so he could hardly wash. His
hands itched and burned just terrible
and If he would scratch them, they
would break out into sores. He could
not get any rest or sleep, and his
hands looked quite bad.

DR.. CALDWELL'S GUIDE
TO GOOD HEALTH

The natural tendency Of people in
this busy age to demand of the d.
gestive organs more than nature in
tended they should perform, frequent
ly results in throwing the entire d.
gestive system into disorder. When
the stomach fails to freely digest and
distribute that which is eaten, the
bowels become clogged with a mass
of waste and refuse which fermentB
and generates poisonous gases that
are gradually forced into the blood,
causing distress and often serious i'll
ness.
DR.. w. B. Caldwell says that II the
bowels are kept regular there will be
much less sickness, and prescribes
combination Of simple laxative herbs
with pepsin that is most effective in
relieving any congestion Of matter In
the bowels. This compound can be
bought In any drug store under the
name Of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
and costs only so cents bottle. 1t is
mild in its action, pleasant to the
taste and positive in effect dose at
night bringing relief next morning,

Accelerated Brain Activity.

In the early days of Wisconsin, two
of the most prominent lawyers of the
state were George B. Smith and l. s.
Sloan, the latter of whom had a habit
of injecting into his remarks to the

been dragging along through a hot
summer day when Sloan sprang to his
feet, with his remark, your honor,

Mrs. Coffin eyed him grimly.

AS matter of fact, the minister's
calls were in the nature of compro-
mise, although an unintentional one.
He dropped in on Zebedee Mayo, own
er Of the big house on the slope OF
the hill. Captain Zeb took him up into
what he called his "cupoler," the OBJ
servatory on the top of the house, and
showed him Trumet spread out like
map. Ellery decided that he should
like Captain Zeb, although it was evil
dent that the old whaler had decided
opinions Of his own which he did not
hesitate to express. He judged that
the Mayos were of the so-called aris-
tocracy, but undoubtedly unique speci-
mems. He visited four more house
holds that afternoon. The last call
was at Mrs. Thankful Paynes, and
while there, listening to the wonderful

A DOCTORS TRIALS.
He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other
People.

Even doing good to people is hard
work If you have too much Of it to do.
An overworked Ohio doctor tells his
experience:
About three years ago as the result
of doing two mems work, attending a
large practice and looking after the
details of another business, my health
broke down completely, and l was
little better than a physical wreck.
81 suffered from indigestion and con-
stipatlon, loss of weight and appetite,
bloating and pain after meals, loss Of
memory and lack of nerve force for
continued mental application.
IT became irritable, easily angered
and respondent without cause. The
hearts action became irregular and
weak, with frequent attacks of palpi-
tation during the first hour or two
after retiring.
Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas
came for my lunch one day and
pleased me particularly with the re-
suit. l got more satisfaction from 10
than from anything l had eaten for
months, and on further investigation
and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my
morning and evening meals, served
usually with cream and sprinkle Of
salt or sugar.
"My Improvement was rapid and
permanent, in weight as well as In
physical and mental endurance. In
word, am filled with the Joy Of liv-
ing again. and continue the daily use
of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often
for the evening meal

81 guess" ruminatively, that the
best thing for you to do will be to go
to Cap'n Elkanah's. They'll be real
glad to see you, know, and you'll be
in time for supper, for Elkanah and
Annabel have been to Denbro and
they'll be late home. They can keep
you overnight, toe, for it's big house

The young man demurred little at
thrusting himself upon the hospitality
Of the Daniels home, but Keziah as
sured him that his unexpected coming
would cause no trouble. So he en-
tered the now dark study and came
out wearing his coat and carrying his
hat and valise in his hand.
I'm sure I'm ever so much obliged
to you" he said. And, as we are go

home His summary disposal Of the
chart" had evidently raised him in
his housekeepers estimation. She did
not ask a single question as to where
he had been.
Next day he had a taste Of Tru-
NETS real aristocracy, the genuine ar
ticle. Captain Elkanah Daniels and
his daughter made their first formal
call The captain was majestic in
high hat, fur-collared cape, tailed coat,
and carrying a gold-headed cane. Miss
Annabel wore her newest gown and
bonnet and rustled as she walked.
They entered the sitting room and the
lady glanced superciliously about the
apartment.
"Hum-ha!" barked Captain Eliza
nah. "Ahem! Mr.. Ellery, l trust
you're being made comfortable. The
parish committee are-hum-ah-
anxious that you should be. Yes?"
The minister said that he was very
comfortable indeed.
ut isn't what you've been used to-,
"Mr. Langley, our former pastor, was
a sweet old gentleman, but he was
old-fashioned and his tastes were
queer, especially in art. Have you
noticed that fruit piece in the dining
room? Isn't 1t too ridiculous?"
Then she changed the subject to
church and parish affairs. They spoke
of the sewing circle and the reading
society and the Fridayevening meet
ings.
"The Come-Outers are so Yexed with
u.s." Uttered Miss Annabel, that they
won't even hold prayer meetings on
the same night as ours. They have
theirs on Thursday nights and it's
as good as a play to hear them shout
and sing and carry on. You'll enjoy
the Come Cutters, Mr.. Ellery. They're
perfect delight"
And as they rose to go Captain e.
kanah asked;
"Is there anything you'd like done
about the parsonage, Mr.. Ellery? II
so, 1t shall be done immejitly. How
are you satisfied with your house
keeper"

iels," was the prompt reply.
"She's character, isn't she?" gig
gled Annabel. "She was born here in
Trumet, but went away to New Bed
ford when she was young and grew up
there. Her maiden name was Hall,
but while she was away she married
man named Ansel Coffin. They
didn't live together very long and
weren't happy, guess. 1 don't know
whose fault 1t was, nobody knows
much Of anything about it, for that's
the one thing she won't talk about
Anyhow, the Coffin man was lost at

she's a good cook, believe; though
I'm afraid you won't get the meals

so much in the city, are used to-"
