HANDS CRACKED AND BLED

St. Clair, Mo-'My trouble began
about fifteen years ago. 1t was what
some claimed eczema. The form the
disease. worked under was a breaking
out with watery bIisters on my hands
which would then dry and scale. and
then would follow the trouble Of
cracking and bleeding, also itching
and hurting My hands were disfig-
ured at the time, and sore. The trou-
bic was very annoying, and disturbed
my sleep. This last February it was
ever so much worse than before. I
did not do all my work on account Of
the condition of my hands. I could
not put them in water without max
ing them worse. I tried a lot of home
remedies, also salves and Iiniments
that claimed to be a cure for the
trouble, but I did not obtain a cure.
at last I saw the advertisement for
CuticUra Soap and Ointment. I sent
for a sample. I thought they would
cure, so sent for a fifty-cent box of
Cuticura Ointment and some Cutf-
cura Soap. A doctor advised me to
keep ahead with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and they cured me com

AUTOMOBILE HAS A WING
French Motor Car Is Driven in ths
Same Manner as an
Aeroplane.

"A successful trial run was made re-
gently from Paris to London, about
800 miles. by a motor car driven by
revolving wing, the Paris Figaro
states.
The vehicle, which was designed by
d. Bertrand de Lesseps, and is called
the winged car" has the appearance
Of an ordinary motor car, save that
in front it is shaped like the Prov
of ship. From the extremely Of
the Prov extends a shaft to which is
attached the propeIler-Or revolving
wing-invented by Il. Fflippi
The wing is small, strong and thick
and revolves within a protecting cage,
The engine is Of 40 horse power and
rotates the wing by shaft and chain
transmission
There is no other mechanism, the
wheels Of the car being free, except
for footbrakes. By the side Of the
driver is q single lever which con
trolls the clutch and the forward and
reverse movement Of the wing. The
wing can be reversed at a moments
notice, thereby forming an additional
brake. In the trial runs a speed Of
62 miles an hour was obtained with
2,100 revolutions Of the wing a min
ute. One curious feature was that the
car made no dust.

Since the Chinese revolution a great

Several progressive business men of

a large number of American barber
chairs. and they are now unable to
