SKIN ITcHED AND BURNED

r. F. D. No. 1, Box 1874, Bridgewater,
N. CT was suffering with a skin
trouble which began after a spell OF
sickness six years ago. II. was mostly
on my body and / could not rest for
the itching and burning. 1t began like
a nettle rash, then 1t would break out
in pimples all over me. I would sting
and burn and itch all over and I
scratched until I was almost raw. At
times I could hardly bear anything to
rub against the parts that were az
fected. s.. H.,
81 do not know how many remedies,
soaps, etc., I tried but none did me
any good. Then I tried Cuticura Soap
and Ointment and they seemed to be
the very thing that I needed. I only
used them four weeks and they COM
pletely healed me-" (Signed) Mrs. H.

LOSS OF WAR EXAGGERATED
Real Facts as to Mortality and Proper
ty Destruction In a Six Months
81 n Conflict.

The destruction Of war is not nearly
as great as it seems, Engineering Maya
zine states. If people do not produce,
neither do they consume, and the man
who may have been making and spend
Ing $40 a day comes down to the 81
or even to the ten cent level without
particular detriment to himself or to
his similarly placed neighbors. The
total wealth of Germany is $60,500,000,
900 and even if the actual war wastes
were 50, 200, 900 a day this in a whole
year would amount to less than l per
cent Of the accumulated wealth OF the
~fatherland. The average death rate in
Germany is probably twenty per 1000.
or 1900 900 a year. Kill 100000 SOL
diers and you have only doubled for
one year the normal outflow. In four
years, If the normal rate were lessened
from 20 to Is per cent, the loss would
be numerically made up. The loss OF
life, the loss of time, the loss Of prop
erty In a six months war is, after all,
insignificant compared to the great
enduring life of the nation. Recuper-
alton will be rapid.

for by the several high schools of this

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR
First Used In Franco-Prussian Con-
fiict, and Their Value Has Since
Been Recognized.

used as messengers was the Franco
Prussian, and the birds carried news
into and out of besieged Paris A post
was established at Tours, and right
through the siege regular mails were
carried between Paris and Tours by
pigeons. .
It Is not generally known that all
the armies and navies of the world
can fall back on official pigeons, II
necessary, and that the birds belong
ing to the British navy: have their
official standing and numbers Just as

army had It's carrier-pigeon system.
The birds brought messages from all
the towns beleaguered by the Boer In
vaders, and when Sir George Whites

winged messengers carried several dis
patches from that gallant officer to the
men who were slowly, fighting their
