FACE A SIGHT WITH TETTER

Moberly, Monty trouble began
with a small pimple on the left side Of
my face and 1t spread all owe my
face and to my neck. 1t would be scar
let red when I got warm My face
was a sight. 1t looked very unpleas-
ant, and It felt uncomfortable. My
face was something awful; 1t just kept
me in agony all the time. Some said
It was letter, and some said 1t was
that awful eczema, but I rather think
It was letter. I had been troubled
with 1t for about two years and tried
many remedies, but got no relief until
[ used Cuticura Soap and Ointment.
when I would wash my face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cuti-
cura Ointment It would cool my skin
and draw great big drops Of matter
out of the skin. You would think I
was sweating; It would run down my
face Just as though I had washed it.
It itched and smarted and I suffered
in the day time most. I used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment for
a month and I was cured Of it." (Sign-

BOY oBEYED ORDERS GIVEN
Meant Well, But Information Was Not
Welcomed by Hotel Manager
Just at That Time.

A certain New York hotel manager
is one of these men who con
stantly warn their employees against
keeping them in ignorance OF any
happening around the place. He hired
a new bell boy recently, and gave
him the usual warning:
Remember" he warned, If any
thing happens around here I'm to be
the first person to know about It."
Soon after that he was showing
three naughty Daughters OF the Cou'
federacy n of the best rooms In the
place, when the new bell boy rushed
In with his hair on end.
Something's happened" he yelled.
The three Daughters Of the Con-
federacy turned coldly, and the man
ager, anxious to get rid Of the boy
demanded to know the trouble.
That old cat down stairs" said
the boy, has Just had kittens! What
shall we do"
The managers suggestion was
rough.

Think Before Won Speak.

II thou thinkest twice before thou
speakest once thou wilt speak twice
the better for It. Better say nothing
than not to the purpose. And, to
speak pertinentlly, consider both what
is fit and when 1t Is fit to speak. In
all debates let truth be thy aim, not
victory, or an unjust interest; and en-
deavor to gain rather than to expose
thy antagonist.-William Penn.
