FACE BROKE OUT
 IN RED SPOTS
Biotchy All Over. Became ScaIy. Scratched Until Made Them Bleed. Used Cuticura Soap and Oint- ment. Face and Head Cured.

"A Gilbert St., New Britain, Conn.
 My little boys face used to get awful red and sometimes when used to wash it it would bleed. Then it got blotchy all over and was horrid looking. His face broke out in red spots and then became scaly. He used to scratch them until he would mako them bleed- Then his head started to break out. He was restless at night and com plained of his face being sore. His head was all little cuts from scratching it.
 So thought would send for sample of the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I only used them for few days when there was such 8 change in his looks. His face began to get clear. When the sample was gone got one cake of Cuticura Soap and one box of Cuticura Ointment. I washed his face with the Cuticura Soap and warm water every night and morning and applied the Cuticura Ointment for four weeks and his face was cured I got another cake of Cutcura Soap and one box of Cuticura Oint- Lnent and was only using them for two weeks and they made his scalp nice and clean. His head was cured.'' (Signed) Mrs. Isabelle Guenther, May 26, 1913.

 While doing some work Sunday noon, May 30, I saw a large white horse running down the street at 9 rapid pace. As I thought that the animal had broken away from it's owner started to catch it and finally succeeded. As the weather was very cold it was blanketed and tied to 8

need much of our farm products. The
Balkans are in much the same condi-

Panama canal win bring new de-
mands for our products. Our own
population is rapidly increasing while
our cultivated lands are at stand

conditions in European governments
will increase immigration to this coun.

will tend to make good prices for
farm products.
A very important feature is that
the people, through Congress. are
about to take control of the circu-

tain any case of rupture perfectly, af-
fording immediate and complete re-
lief, but closes the opening in 10 days

out surgery, harmful injections, treat
ments or prescriptions. Mr. Seeley
has documents from the United States

Unusually hot and ry weather will

be injured thereby. Storms will not

wish to take their summer outings.
Good spring wheat weather will con-
tinue to prevail where July rains
were sufficient.
It must be noted that our July rain
fall forecasts, in a general way were
good. Those rains had the effect to
lower prices of grain. We now ex-

How Rough Diamond. Shrink.

The loss in weight in diamonds when
going through the process OF cleaving
and chipping and polishing amounts to
from 80 to 60 per cent on the average
Accordingly. the price OF a rough dia.
mond will have to be advanced In the
finished brilliant, aside from all other
expenses, at least twice to three times
With the well known ''solitaires" the
loss in weight Is even greater, because
II Is necessary to chip or so much
more. Thus. the diamond Excelsior,
which, In its crude raw state, weighed
971& carats. produced two brilliants.
Weighing together only $40 1882
carats, with loss In weight Of 65 per
cent; and the Cullinan. originally
weighing 3.024% carats. was reduced
