BAD letter ON HANDS

R. F. D. No. 1, Critz, Vat had
letter on my hands so badly that I
could hardly do anything. 1t would
begin to come in clear white blisters,
then they would burst and peel off all
over and crack and bleed. My hands
were SO sore and itched SO badly
could not rest day or night. could
not put them in water nor do my reg

I tried medicine and several differ
ent kinds of cream on them but they
got worse instead of better Nothing

Little Edwin Resisted Long But Fin

rived Baby Sister.

Little Edwin; three-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs Crosby Prior of Bremen.
Long Island, has been rejoicing over
the advent of baby sister in the
home, and as he proudly announced to
all, "she is all mine" A neighbor
desired to purchase the baby Of Ed

EYE STRAIN
Relieved by Quitting Coffee.

Many cases of defective vision are
caused by the habitual use of coffee.
1t is said that in Arabia where cot
fee is used in large quantities, many
lose their eyesight at about fifty. Tea
contains the same drug, caffeine, as
coffee.
A N. J. woman writes to the point
concerning eye trouble and coffee.
She says:
MY son was for years troubled with
his eyes. He tried several kinds Of
glasses without relief. The optician
said there was a defect in his eyes
which was hard to reach.
He used to drink coffee, as we all
did, and finally quit it and began to
use Postum. That was three years
ago and he has not had to wear
glasses and has had no trouble with
his eyes since.
Il was always fond of tea and coffee
and finally became so nervous l could
hardly sit still long enough to eat a
meal. My heart was in such a con-
dition l thought l might die at any,
time.
Medicine did not give me relief
and 1 was almost desperate. 1t was
about this time we decided to quit COT
fee and use Postum, and have used it
ever since. 1 am In perfect health.
No trouble now with my heart and
never felt better in my life.
Postum has been a great blessing
to us all, particularly to my son and
myself

But when the meat was brought on

Parson Had to Protest.

Towards the end of long life old
Mr.. Barleycorn, wellknown brewer
in quiet old town, joined the church,
SO with a view to their eternal well
fare he made it custom for his
workmen and draymen to turn up on
Sunday morning at the brewery, all
dressed in their best smocks and top
hats, when he would march along with
them to church. This had been going
on for some time, when one day the
parson met him, and, after stopping to
chat, mentioned at parting, "Oh, by
the way, Mr. B., do wish you would
cease bringing your men to my
church; they snore so that can't hear
myself preach"

Chinese Woman's Complexion


A French expert has been giving
his attention to what he calls "the
exquisite complexion Of the Chinese
women" This, he claims, is not due
to enameling, as Is generally sup
posed, but to careful manipulation of
the face by most expert masseuses.
They begin by a gentle pinching of
the cheeks between the tips Of their
fingers, an operation that consumes a
period of ten minutes. Then lotions
are applied by means of absorbent cot
ton; then comes an unguent, and there
follows kneading Of the cheeks with
an extreme delicacy of touch, always
proceeding from the nose and commits
sures of the lips toward the ears

the Baker House, a goodly number
of the membership, with their wives,
being in attendance, and the average
enjoyment of the festivity, per capita,
being very high. The guests were
lavish in their praise of the manage

features of the occasion, the venison
being dispatched with as much zest
and alaerity as though it had been
ION the hoof'', and the members of
the club behind their trusty rifles.
After pushing bach their chairs,
the banqueters resolved themselves
into a sort of speechifying committee

DECISION REVERSED

Dec. 8, the Wisconsin supreme
court handed down a decision in the
case of the 500 Line vs. the Menasha
Wooden Ware Co., reversing the de-
cision of the circuit court, which was
in favor of the Wooden Ware Co.
This suit was brought by the railroad
company to annul contract entered
into with the Menasha Wooden Ware
Co. some years previously giving the
latter company very favorable rates
on shipment of logs to Ladysmith.
This contract was legal in every way
when entered into and until the
enactment Of the laws prohibiting
the granting of special rates to any
one. The railroad was very glad to
enter into this contract at the time
it was enacted, as it was a big fac
tor in the building up of city here
that has ever been q good business
producer for the 500 Line The low
er court held that the contract was
valid until the term of years for
which it was entered into expired
The supreme court couldn't see it
that way.
