PlMPLES lTCHED AND BURNED

Route No 3, Dadeville, Ala.-'I was troubled with a terrible breaking out between my shoulders and down to my hips. It came in pimples and my back looked very red and raw. It itched and burned so that sleep and rest were impossible and I could not sleep any hardly for weeks. My clothes irritated my back till it got so sore I had to have a soft cloth pinned to my shirt.
 As I heard of Cuticura Soap and Ointment for years I bought cake of Cuticura Soap and box of Cuticura Ointment and to my surprise and joy my itching and burning had disap- peared. My back had been so raw and inflamed I could not lie on it and the first application brought relief. washed my back twice day with a strong lather of Cuticura Soap and then applied the Cuticura Ointment In two weeks l was sound and well and have never been troubled since" ," (Signed) J.

HARD TIMES TO FIGURE OUT
With Nobody Making Any Money Vaca- tionist Could Not Understand
 Who Had Got His.

We called on friend at his office, Wednesday morning, says the Cleve- land Plain Dealer. The reason we called was that he had been on va cation, and we wanted to ask him if he had had a good time and to tell him how we had missed him. But as we were ushered in he didn't look up from his work He just went on seribbling, waved us to a chair, and said
 Now, don't distrust me any more than you can help. Call me liar, but don't rub it in!"
 What do you mean?" we asked. Then he looked up, and said:
 "Oh! I thought it was my wife. That's what was going to say to her. I'll tell you how it is. The summer hotelkeepers say they ain't making any money this year. The railroads say they are running at loss. Every public servant is whining about hard times-hasn't been able to make a cent See? We'll, l spent $350 in the last ten days, and I'm trying to figure out how I could have spent that much for board and bathing suits"

MILLION DOI LARS INVOLVED
Accountants of the Iron Mountain and Cotton Belt Checking Over
 the Claims.
Little Rock

Accountants of the Iron Mountain and the Cotton Belt railroads are at work on the passenger and freight re- bate claims and will finish in a few weeks Judge J. G. Wallace, special master, who has been listing, classi- lying and Investigating these claims since his appointment by Judge Trie- Der of Federal Court in July, 1913, expects to be able to make his final report by October 1. The railroads are taking many exceptions to the claims, many of which are being sus- tained by the master Wherever it is made to appear that any part of a claim is for interstate traffic, it is ex- cluded. This is affecting especially many claims to and from Fort Smith. There is a total of about a million dollars involved, the largest amount ever handled by a special master in the state.
 R. P. Allen, special master in the Rock Island and Frisco claims. will probably make his report this week. Not nearly so much is involved in this, and the money has been placed at the disposal of the court by agree ment with the railroad companies. It Is thought that payment to claimants will begin about September 1.

Committee Will Keep Hands Off.

"At the meeting the Campaign Committee of the Democratic Central Committee held at the headquarters in the Southern Trust building" said Judge A. J. Walls, chairman of the State Central Committee, it was un- animously decided that the committee should make no recommendations in regard to the amendment to the con stitution to be voted on this fall to create he office of lieutenant gover- nor. X report given out recently say ing that the committee would recom- mend that the Democratic voters de- feat this bill in the general election in order that the wording of the bill might be changed and presented sub sequently for adoption, is absolutely false.
 'The idea which some seem to have that at this late date litigation and expense might be avoided by making a recommendation that it be defeated, is absurd. The expense connected with the amendment has already reached as large an amount as it would under any circumstances, whether any recommen- dations were made or not. This ex- pense consists principally in advertis- ing the measure and this has already been done all over the state.'

HE KNEW ONLY ONE JAMAICA
Possibly in His Civic Pride Man Could Not Imagine the Possibility of
 Their Being Another.

A New York artist, who had just returned from Jamaica, West Indies, showed in his studio some paintings of Jamaica scenery.
 One day a man who had been stroll ing through the studio stopped before certain picture and said: What is this?"
 "A scene in Jamaica" said the art ist.
 "Jamaica?" repeated the visitor. That's strange. I don't remember ever seeing anything like that in Jamaica"
 You have been there thne?" asked the artist.
 q live there."
 "Then surely you must be acquaint- ed with this place. It is a street scene in the principal town of the island"
 The man from Jamaica looked at the artist tor moment as if he thought he must be daft. Then he said
 'I live in Jamaica, and there isn't street in the town that bears the slightest resemblance to that pie ture."
 The mention of Jamaica as a town cleared away the mist
 q see," said the artist, you live in Jamaia, L. l."
 Sure" said the other. '1s there another Jamaica anywhere?"

 Emerson as a Vocalist,

AS student at Harvard, Ralph Wal do Emerson did not give much promise of his future greatness. His disserta- tion was spoken of as "a very good one, but too long to give much pleas lure to the hearers" He was class poet, but only after seven others had been successively elected, and had sue cessiyely declined the honor. A story tt531a t5laa by MT Arthur Stanwood Pier, in aThe Story oi Harvard" goes to show that Emhrson's musical efforts were even less appreciated.
 Singing in the yard was a popular diversion, and early in his freshman year, Emerson, wishing to have a share in the fun, went to the singing master, who said to him. Chord"
 So l made some kind of a noise" " said Emerson, "and the singing master said, That will do, sir; you need not come again. '"-Youth's Companion.

HERE IS A GOOD WAY
 TO GET RID OF PlMPLES

Bathe your face for several minutes with resinol soap and hot water, then apply a little resinol ointment very gently. Let this stay on ten minutes, and wash off with resinol soap and more hot water, finishing with a dash of cold water to close the pores. Do this once or twice a day, and you will be astonished to find how quickly the healing, antiseptic resinol medication soothes and cleanses the pores, re- moves pimples and blackheads, and leaves the complexion clear and vel vety. All druggists sell resinol soap and resinol ointment-Adv.

It was during the maneuvers, a British weekly tells us, that soldier was being tried for shooting chicken On prohibited ground.
 Look here, my man." said the com mand;ng officer to the farmer who brought the accusation, "are you quite certain that this man shot your bird :? Will you swear to it?''
 No, I won't do that" replied the canny farmer, but I will say he's the man I suspect of doing it."
 That's not enough to convict a man," retorted the officer, considerably nettled What raised your sus- picions?"
 Well, sir" replied the sturdy farmer, as he slowly niopped his fore head with his bandanna, T saw i'm on my property with gun; then l heerd the gun go off; then l saw i'm putting the chicken into his knap- sack; and it didn't seem sensible somehow to think the bird committed suicide.
