But If our father and mothers had

piInples which would burn and itch at
night so that l could hardly stand II.
This condition kept getting worse and
worse until my back was a solid mass
of big sores which would break open
and run. My underclothing would be
a clot of blood.
II tried various remedies and salves
for nearly three years and l was not
getting any becefit. 1t seemed was
in eternal misery and could not sleep
on my back or lean on a chair. / 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 n new
being. Now l am in good health and
no sign of any skin diseases and

Shine on Black Cloth.

There are several methods used for
removing shine on black cloth, but
the best one is to take piece OF
new black crinoline and wet 1t, then
lay over the shiny spot. This should
be covered with a dry cloth and then
pressed with a very hot iron. If the
iron9is hot enough it will maize the
crinoline adhere to the serge. You
must pull the former away quickly as
you would a plaster, and this will
raise the nap Of the serge SO that it
looks dull again. The shine is created
by the nap being pressed down SO fiat,
SO 1t will be seen the usual plan Of
rubbing with a liquid is only a tempo
rary remedy. It removes the gloss
but the nap is still fattened.
For silks and other smooth fabrics
cold tea is good for shiny patches,
and some people sponge with deep
blue water. using the ordinary blue
bag.

but received no reply Even this
failed to arouse his suspicious, as on
several occasions the Waterman had
left the store little while before
the arrival of the first clerk.
