scALY PSORIASIS on LIMBS

Troop H. 9Th U. s. Cavalry, Camp
Mccoy, Sparta, Wis.-"I was troubled
with psoriasis for nearly two years.
Portions Of my arms and limbs were
affected mostly with it. It appeared
in scaly form, breaking out in very
small dots and gradually grew larger
and white scales formed when about
the size of an ordinary match-head.
The looks of it was horrible. which
made it very unpleasant for me. 1t
itched little at times.
II tried several treatments which
cured me for q month, but 1t always
broke out again. One day q friend
saw the advertisement Of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment in the paper and
I sent for a sample. They helped me.
SO I purchased two more boxes of
Cuticura Ointment and some Cuticura
Soap and they completely cured me.
1t took three months for Cuticura
Soap and Ointment to complete my
cure" (Signed) Walter Mahony. Oct.

Knew the Time.

On a cold night man was hasten.
ing across the public square with his
overcoat buttoned up to his chin. He
was rather anxious to know what time
it was, but he was too lazy to open his
coat in order to get at his watch. Just
then he saw well-dressed man ap-
preaching and remarked to himself:
This Is cinch. I'll sen ask yon
genteel stranger what time it is and he
will unbosom."
He perceived that the stranger was
buttoned up just as he was. When he
came up the man who wanted to know
the time removed his hat politely and
said: "Sir. do you know what time
it Isl"
The stranger paused, removed his
right glove, unbuttoned his coat from
top to bottom, unbuttoned his under
coat, and finally pulled out his watch,
while the chill wind cut into his unpro-
tected chest. Holding up the watch SO
that the light would shine upon its
face for an instant he glanced at it
and growled:
"Yes!"~
Then he passed on without anothe,

MUCH THINKING NOT NEEDED

A noted New York divine tells the
following story:
One day he shared with the chill
dren of a certain Sunday school
pathetic incident turning upon the
pitiful plea Of poor little girl for
aid and the dollar that he gave her.
Then he asked the children to guess
what was the first thing the little girl
bought.
Please, sir. basket" piped up q
small boy.
Right! Right! Now there is a
boy who thinks" cried the pleased
speaker. Come up here to the plat
form, sonnie, and tell US why you
think she bought basket. We want
all these other girls and boys to learn
to think. too."
The boy was unwilling to accept the
distinction pressed upon him, but
finally walked slowly to the platform.
"Now, my dear boy" encouraged
the great visitor, tell US why you
think the little girl bought basket

In country town in the English

him unnecessary opportunities to talk.
One cold morning this man rode up

landlord in his usual loud tones, and
declared that he was SO cold that he

BUMPER COTTON

Atlanta. which is the object of a reg
ulaf cotton embargo" ordered Sun
day by the Southern Railway.
There simply was too much cotton
to handle. 1t was coming too fast.
On the tracks of Atlanta yards Tues
day morning were 500 cars crammed
with cotton-60 to So bales in every
car-nesrly 10000 bales.
In the vast Atlanta warehouses of
the Atlantic Compress Company was
nearly as much more cotton, await
ing its turn under the presses to fit
it for export.
Atlanta was crammed with cotton
the early part of this week. The "em-
barge" was the only remedy.
Embargo 10 Put On.
So the embargo went on Sunday
morning. Orders were issued In the
most impartial manner that the
Southern Railway agents should not
accept cotton from connecting lines
at any point for shipment to Atlanta:
that they should not accept cotton
even from the little dealers at the
small stations for shipment to At
lanta.
They might divert it, by agreement
with the shipper. TO Macon or to Sa-
vannah. where the big plants of the
Atlantic Compress Company are still
managing to keep up with the game
But not to Atlanta Atlanta was
submerged by prodigious tida wave
OF the prosperity on which rides a
