PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Four years ago I had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells. and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief. When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. / would scratch those places
until they would bleed before I could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over, and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to Itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep.
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" used an ointment which
the doctor gave me. but 1t did no good.
Then he advised me to try the Cuti-
cura Remedies. As this trouble has
been in our family for years, and is
considered hereditary, I felt anxious
to try to head It OF. I got the Cuti-
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills. and
they seemed to be Just what I needed.
The disease was making great
headway on my system until I got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago. until now, have never felt
any Of its pest. and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. / always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and I hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment" !"

ALL THEY WANTED WAS PIE
Something Of Pity That All Labor
Troubles Cannot Be Settled as
Easily as This.

In the course of some hght-hearted
thorities Of woman's college in west
ern Massachusetts,, to Danish pie from
the girls midday meal, the New York
Sun recalls the following incident Of
an earlier day in neighboring region:
Some twenty years ago New York
contractor was employed to build a
fine country house in the Berkshire
hills. The laborers. who were recruit
ed from the neighboring villages, were
boarded at nearby farmhouses. Be
fore long they all went out on strike
The superintendent in charge was
powerless. The contractor hurriedly
took an express train for the Berk-
shires. and on arriving. Immediately
demanded an interview with the lead
ers of the strike.
whats the matter" he demanded.
whats your grievance?"
We're underfed," said the spokes-
man. You can't expect us to work
on empty stomachs. The company
has got us here. 1t ought to see that
we are decently fed"
"The company pays enough to have
you properly fed" said the builder.
what is the trouble?"
I'VE don't get pie but once a day"
said the spokesman.
"Abominable!" agreed the builder
You shall have pie three times q
day" And they did, and there was
an end of that strike.-Youth's Com.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
~ the physical peculiarities of hel
children. soon learns that health is in
q great measure dependent upon nor.
NAL, healthy. regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss OF
appetite, restlessness during sleep, ir
ritability and dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign Of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of Dr.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits, and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in Soc and $1.00
bottles. II you have never tried this
remedy. send for a sample to DR.. W..
B. Caldwell. pol Washington st., Mon
ticello. Ill. He will gladly send .

Rubbing II In.

Booth Harrington was talking in
Indianapolis about a novelist of the
high brow type-one of those half
starved novelists whose reviews are
much more remarkable than their
sales.
"As this novelist, shabby and
cold" said Mr.. Harrington, was
walking on Fifth avenue one wintry
afternoon. there glided past the mag
nificent automobile of a publisher who
had bought out one Of the poor fel-
lows books at heavy loss.
"The publisher signaled to his
chauffeur, the automobile stopped and

the millionaires hand, presented him.
