HANDS WOULD CRACK OPEN

about two months ago my hands
started to crack open and bleed. the
skin would scale on, and the good flesh
would burn and itch dreadfully. When
my hands first started to get SORE.
there were small blisters like water
blisters which formed. They itched
dreadfully, it just seemed as though
l could tear the skin all of. / would
scratch them and the skin would peel
off. and the flesh would be all red and
crack open and bleed. It worried me
very much. as 1 had never had any
thing the matter with my skin. 1 was
SO afraid I would have to give I'D my
employment
MY doctor said he didn't think it
would amount to anything. But 1t
kept getting worse. One day 1 saw
a piece in one of the papers about a
lady who had had the same trouble
with her hands. She had used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment and was cured. I
decided to try them, and my hands
were all healed before 1 used one
cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of
Cuticura Ointment. I am truly thank
full for the good results from the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment. for thanks
to them was cured, and did not have
to lose day from work. l have had
no return of the skin trouble"

Ointment are sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, a sample of each,

WOMEN'S LEAP YEAR RIGHTS
In Scotland Years Ago They Were REQ.
ognIzed AZ Real, and Well De-
fined by Law.

Ancient, indeed, are the prerogatives
that are accorded to women in leap
year. They are SO old that none can
tell just how or when they originated.
However. the ancient Scottish parlia-
ment gives us a date as well as a law
upon which to hang the right of wom-
en- to take the initiative in leap year,
as convention forbids them to do in
other years.
In the year 1928 this body passed a
law which, in its quaint old English,
expressly conferred on womankind the
right to propose marriage in leap year
Here is the law, Just as it was written
in the parliamentary records:
"Ordonit that during ye reign Of her
maist blessed Majestic, ilka maiden
ladee Of bath high and lowe estait.

likes. Gif he refuses to tax hir to bee
his wyf, he shale bee mulct in We sum
Of ane hundridty pundes, or less, as
his estait may bee, except and alwais
gif he can make it appeare that he is
betrothit to another woman, then he
shale be free"

Puzzle Of Living.

Religionists chided about their ina
oility to agree on points of faith might
point out that they differ only in Incl

the scientists differ on everything.
Take the science Of living. A week
ago you would have died II you drank
water with your meals" Now they
say it doesn't do any harm at all One
variety says: Eat meat, lots Of 1t, to
build good, rich blood" Another says
meat is poison; that vegetables are
the only food. A third declares meat
and vegetables both increase debility,
and that you will live twice as long
on raw fruits and nuts. Some say
Talk with your meals, laugh; it
makes the food digest" Others insist
silence is never SO golden as at the
