PIMPLEs COVERED FACE

1913 Dayton St, Chicago, Ill.--"My
face was very red and irritated and
was covered with pimples. The PIN
pies festered and came to a head.
They itched and burned and when I
scratched them became sore. 1 tried
soaps and they would not stop the
itching and burning of the skin. This
lasted for a month or more. At last |
tried Cuticura Ointment and Soap.
They took out the burning and itching
of the skin, soothing it very much and
giving the relief that the others failed
to give me. I used the Cuticura Soap

KUKUHUHUs LITTLE KNOWN
Mysterious Race Who Live In New

London.-Dr. Bruno Beheim gives

terious and little known ace Of the
Kukuhuhus Of New Guinea: The Ku
kuhuhus live in a part Of English ter
ritory through which runs the River
Qukheamu and which is situated near
the German boundary. This territory
is looked upon by the said race as
their inalienable birthright, and ev-
cry usurper is regarded with hostile
eyes. No European has been able to
meet the Kukuhuhus In their dwelling
places. Prospectors and English Of
icials have made repeated attempts
to approach them, but their camps
were invariably found empty, often
with the camp fires still burning.
Many a time have Europeans left
presents highly priced by other ma
tives, such as corals. red cloth, look
ing glasses, axes, etc., in the deserted
camps, in the hope Of establishing
friendly relations with these people.
But on returning to the same places

MANY IDEAS ABOUT THE PIN
Superstition of All Kinds Has Been
Gathered Around Humble House
hold implement.

During the reign of James l., the
metal pins came into fashion. In 1917
a machine for producing entire pins
was invented by an American, Seth
Hunt, but it remained for Samuel
Wright, Of Massachusetts, to patent
in 1924 the wonderful ~pin-making ma
chine which is generally used today.
A certain amount Of witchery and
romance has always been associated
with the humble pin. In olden times
it was regarded as a charm against,
and also as an implement of witch
craft. Witches were supposed to force
their victims to swallow pins, while,
on the other hand, pins stuck in the
heart Of an animal and carefully pre-
served were considered the appro-
pirate antidote to evil influences. In
Wales there existed a grim supersti-
ton that a toad pierced with pins
would cause the life of an enemy to
wither as the poor creature itself slow
ly died. In Russia it is considered
unlucky to meet a priest on leaving
a house-a state of affairs which can
only be remedied by throwing a pin
at him; and In Iceland if a nan is sus-
pected of walking after death, pins
and needles are thrust into the feet
of the corpse.
Readers Of Romance will remember
how people were believed to be be-
witched and led to lingering death by
regularly sticking pins into wax eff
giles Of them. Even today in the back
country a ~favorite charm" to make
the cream churn into butter is the
dropping Of hot pins into it.
