NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance,
I always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case in particular
was that Of lady friend Of mine who,
when a child, was afflicted with &C.
zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter
walls with severer torture. She could
not go to school as the Disagreement
looked terrible. I told her to get at
once set Of the Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies Still another lady had dry
every fall of the year They used to
be SO painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The childrens faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and used the Cuticura Ointment.
1t made his arm as timber and nice,
whereas it was quite stiff before /
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May had an improving toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right down
In the side of my toe. l cut the nail
out of the cavity 1t made, and of
course applied the Cuticura Ointment
to the part affected. 1t soothed 1t and
in less than ten nights 1t was all
healed through constant use of the
Ointment Ten days ago, had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil

completely cured them. / have Just

Act of Heroism.

The smallest boy had broken
through the ice and the fat boy was
crawling to his rescue
Come back. Fatty!" the other boys
shrieked. You'll bust it all in, an

But the fat boy, fiat on his ston-

tent, ignored these warning cries and
steadily crept toward the black hole
and Tommy's clinging fingers.
Once the ice made cracking sound
and the watchers yelled with dismay.
But the fat boy did not halt Nearer
and nearer he came, and finally his
out-stretched hands caught those cling
ing fingers and drew the small boy. lit

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;
all tend to it.
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
'isease. When any one of these ills APP
pears, together with 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 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.

Esther MAS Alarmed.

Esther, five-year-old daughter of
North side parents, heard much about
the dangers of diphtheria, and was
eager to observe every precaution to
keep from coming into contact with
it, that she and her two brothers
might not catch it."
One day she insisted on going to
the grocery on the corner to spend
her penny, and was warned by her
mother not to stop and play with any
children she might meet on the way.
After having been gone only few
minutes, she rushed into the house
much excited. exclaiming as she en-
tered
Mamma, you must keep 'ose boys
away from Mr.. AS house, cause they
have diphtheria and have a sign
up"
Her mother said: is that so? What
does the sign say?"

raj history seems to have been limit
ed. The following case came before
him one day:
A man who kept ferret having to
go into the country, left the cage with
the ferret in charge of neighbor till
he should return. The neighbor in

the ferret escaped. The owner vas

The following was the decision of
the learned bailie: Nae doot,' he

we was wrang, too. What for did We

PRESIDENT sun is A HAWIIAN

Probably nowhere was there greater
surprise felt over the election of DIR.
Sun Vat Sen as the president Of the
provincial republic of China than in
Hawaii, where DR.. Sun was born. 81,
true is it that a prophet is not wi,h-
out honor save in his own land. All dur-
ing the years that DIR. Sun has been
arousing his countrymen to longings
for newer and freer national life
and organizing for it the people of Ha-
wall have looked on him as profess
sional adventurer, careful Of his own
safety while exploiting the rising pa
triotism of his compatriots.
From time to time for years past
have come reports Of uprisings in
China, some of them of formidable
promise, said to be the result of his
propaganda. Each report Of the kind
has brought out in some of the Homo
lulu papers sarcastic or satirical para
graphs, describing him as long
range revolutionist and patriot for
revenue.
