WATERY BLISTERS ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.-"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had a few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the childs face
were at first small watery blisters, just
small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until in a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead of the little blisters the
skin was cracked ard scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
I'VE used a number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for short
time then leave her face worse than
ever Finally We got a cake of Cuti
cura Soap and box of Cuticura Oint-
ment. l washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone in two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn Of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. K. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912.

TWINS in STRANGE FEUD

two lives says an exchange. Just because of the
chair Luke and Mathew Gregory, twin brothers,
made for themselves an existence as queer as
any recorded in the pages of fiction. Because Of
the chair they dwelt side by side in house liter
ally divided. They gave up love- friendship and
social intercourse For twenty-three years they
met every day without exchanging word. For
twenty-three years they glowered at each other
from opposite sides of living room. For twenty
three years each sat in the chair every other day
and read out of the same bible turn and turn
about. The house was divided by actual meas
urement and continued SO divided until it full
filled the prediction of the scriptures and fell in
reality.
Luke and Mathew Gregory were simple hard
working miners. Each day they went to the
great collieres at Wilkesbarre labored on
through the day chatted with their other fellows
and returned home at night. Yet they never had
a word one for the other, despite the fact that
they cooked at the stove and ate from the
same table.
The Gregorys were Of Scotch birth and came to
Wyoming valley with their father, John Gregory,
when lads of only three years. The elder Greg
ory had been miner in Scotland. With him he
brought his household effects, among which were
