Appointments are increasing toward
forwarding the work of Opportunity
Farm, home for orphan boys at New
Gloucester. Here orphan boys from
all over the State will be given a
home, and will not only have the adj
vantages of a healthful out of-d door
life, but will also be given an oppor-
tunity TO acquire an education and
useful trade. The farm is under the
management of Mr.. and Mrs. Forest
Pease of Lewiston and has 40 acres of
land. An association has been incor-
porated to carry on the work there,
and it is the plan to buy the farm,
which can be purchased at a reason
able figure, much of the money needed
already being in sight. A meeting
was recently held in Portland at
which plans were made for carrying
on the work. The cost of maintaining
a boy at the farm for a year is COM
paratively small, and with the interest
which the project is arousing all over
the State considerable excellent work
can be done and much good accom-
plished. Afr SM131

Bangor boasts veteran of two
wars whose most vivid memory is the
charge of the Light Brigade at Balak-
lava Mr.. Boultbee was born in
Derby, England, on Dec. Ia, 1926, and
at an early age came to this country,
first settling in New York. where he
learned the tailor's trade. at which he
worked until 1854, when the Crimean
war broke out. Volunteer regiments
were being formed in England. and
Boultbee, with his two brothers,
George and Charles, caught the war
fever and, returning to their old home,
joined the Derbyshire Regiment
which, after a period of drilling, was
sent to the Crmea. Within few
days of arrival, the regiment took part
in the battle of Alma. and one of Mr..
Boultbee's most priced possessions is
picture of Scottish regiment, the
42d in a charge on the Russian posi-
ton. When the Crimean war was
over, Boultbee came back to the
United States and again worked at
his trade in New York and Boston.
He was in Boston when the Civil War
began, and at once enlisted in the
First Massachusetts Regiment, serv-
ing until sickness took him out of the
ranks. Then he came to Bangor, and
for 40 years worked for one firm.

water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch 1t
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or five ears,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time. so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest it
prove fatal.
During all this time of boils and
eczema, doctored with the best ply

to no avail. Finally l decided to try

ing the Cuticura ResC'vent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time 1 began to

use the Cuticura Remedies until 1 was
well again, and have not had re-
currence of the trouble since, which is
over twenty years. l have recon-

them as remedies for skin diseases"
