New YOrk--The police of Bayside,

Of Miss Anna Thornton, a wealthy

took her pleasure in fitting up the
residence she purchased in luxurious

to be let alone. Her only caller was

PIMPLEs COVERED HIS BACK

my troubles began along in the
summer in the hottest weather and
took the form Of small eruptions and
itching and kind of smarting pain.
1t took me mostly all over my back
and kept getting worse until finally
my back was covered with a mass OF
pimples which would burn and itch at
night So that could hardly stand it.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
Of big sores which would break open
and run. Ny undeFclothing would be
a clot of blood
81 tried various remedies and saIFes
for nearly three years and I was not
getting any benefit. 1t seemed I was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. I was
finally given a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and inside of two weeks I
could see and feel a great relief. I
kept on using Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and also the Resolvent, and in about
three or four months time my back
was nearly cured and felt like a new
being. Now I am in good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and
am fully satisfied that Cuticura Rene
dies are the best ever made for skin
diseases. I would not be without
them (Signed) ". A Armstrong,
Corbin, Kan, May 26, 1911. Although
Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold
by druggists and dealers everywhere,
a sample of each, with 32-page book,
will be mailed free on application to

HOUSEWORK IS A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who 'keeps house, has
enough to do when she Is IN good, sound
health, but If she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, Homework becomes
. heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted IN this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do,
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children, the lack of proper exercise;
ali tend to If.
Backache, bearing-dOwn pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness. fits OF blues and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently IN kidney
disease. When any one OF these Ills ap-
pears, together with a discolored condi-
ton Of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, Just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped 4 great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison
Gus, dangerous nor habit-forming drugs.
Doan's are harmless for children too.

Both WrOnn-

A ludicrous story is told of an Ed
inburg bailie, whose studies in natu-
raj history seems to have been limit
ed. The following case came before
him one day:
A man who kept a ferret having to
go into the country, left the cage with
the ferret in charge of a neighbor till
he should return. The neighbor in
cautiously opened the cage door, and
the ferret escaped. The owner was
very angry, and brought a claim
against him for damages.
The following was the decision of
the learned bailie: Nae doot," he
said to the neighbor; mae doot ye
was wrang to open the cage door;
but" he added, turning to the owner,
''ye was wrang, too. What for did ye
no clip the brute's Wings?"

foot of railroad inside of its Dor

1t was at one of the stations of this
new line that a palace train picked
up passenger with an odd claim. She
was Mrs. Jeanette Dalton. and that
was the name of the station at which
she boarded the train At once she
began to talk to the conductor, to
whom she intrusted the information
that although she was eighty years
old she had neither seen nor ridden
on a train until that very minute.
She had settled in Green Lake county
as far back as 1888, when she did her
travelling by OK team. She therefore
had lived within comparatively short
distance of the &1pital of the great
Badger domain seventy-three years
without seeing or hearing such a thing
as a railroad train. On this occasion
she was out for a visit in Milwaukee.
where she received much attention
from the railroad people.
