HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE


81 can truthfully say Cuticura Rem
edies have cured me Of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago ] noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
II would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. I could
lay a. pin in them. After using all
the salves could think of, went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.
$50 after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cuticura Remedies, ] pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands were
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all used"

THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or
less troubled with a chronic, per-
sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise They ex-
perience difficulty in digesting even
light food, with a consequent belching
OF stomach gases, droWsiness after
eating, heada che and a feeling Of lassi-
tude and general discomfort.
Doctors advise against catharties and
violent purgatives of every kind, rec
ommending mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the
perfect laxative, easy in action, Ger

STOMACH FULL or TACKs

+
Abraham Leconey, a shoemaker at
Delanco, N. J., was taken to Phila-
delphia hospital the other day for a
"tack-lifting' operation upon which
physicians are relying to save his life.
For nearly year Leconey has been
suffering from stomach ache. All the
home remedies failed to relieve him,
and the puzzled doctors proposed an
x-ray examination. The spotlight re-
vealed about 100 brass tacks sticking
in the walls of the shoemaker's stom-
ach. He admitted that for several
years he had used his mouth for
temporary tack box while at work at
his bench, as shoemakers do, and
said he remembered swallowing
good many during the last ten years.
Surgeons say one section of Leconey's
stomach has more tacks in it than the
sole of a boot.

To illustrate the eyer-ready wit of

at banquet held recently:
An Irishman on his way home at
night was in the habit of cutting
through a cemetery in order to short

evolved scheme to have some fun at
his expense. Accordingly they found
a sunken grave across which his path
lay, dug it out and covered 1t with
boards In such manner that he must
fall into the yawning cavity.

everything happened as per schedule
While he was still squirming about in
the bottom Of the hole, striving to ex-
tricate himself, three or four Of his

FIRST HIGH SILK HAT

1t was in January. 1897, that the
hrst high silk hat was seen upon a
mans head. The London Times In its
Issue OF Jan. 16 of that year related
the event as follows:
John Hetherington, mercer in the
Strand, was arraigned before the lord

orderly conduct and ;nciting to riot
and imposed a fine of $500. Mr.
Hetherington. with the evident inten-
tlon of frightening the people, appear

glossy silk, the luster of which daz-

William of Germany comes next with
an average OF $500 letters a day. Then
comes the president of the United
States with an average of 5000 let
tiers. The letters of the king of Eng

day, about one-third the number re-
ceived by his father. The mail Of the
