P|NPLES ON HEAD iTCHED DIRE EADF JULY
Spread All Over Scalp. itching and Burning. At Times Sleep lmpos- sible. Hair Fell Out. Doctor Said Try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. In Five Weeks Cured.

c/o S.S City of Memphis" Lewis Wharf. Boston, Mass-.' Some time ago had great trouble with sores on my head. At first they seemed to be pirnples or small bumps or something of that sort. They itched dreadfuIly and scratched them making them sores. In short time they spread out all over my scalp forming large sores. The corruption from the sores was 8 kind of yellowish matter pus. The itch ing and burning caused me to lose a great deal of rest; at times sleep was impossible. My hair began falling out gradually. It seemed to be almost ufeless.
 ''I tried several different remedies for the trouble but did not get any relief from any Of them Friends advised this and that but nothing would stop the cause of the itching or in any way heal the sores. Finally my doctor told me to try .Cuticura Soap and Ointment. At night before went to bed washed my head with Cuticura Soap and lukewarIn water dried it with towel and then applied the Cuticura Ointment Upon arising in the morning would again wash my head with Cuticura Soap and warm water After doing this three days my head began to feel relieved and the itching and burning stopped. After using Cuticura Soap and Ointment for five weeks was cured.'' (Signed) Karl A. MaIIette. Sept. Is. 1913.

Newtown, Feb 23-Newton Curtiss, the owner of the largest peach or chard in this section of Connecticut says that the recent cold spell has not affected the peach trees on his acreage to any great extent as the buds had not arrived to the advanc- ed stage where zero weather would affect them. His orchards, however, are on high ground with a northern exposure, and this fact has been in their favor. He believes if no severer weather is encountered this month and the snow remains on the ground for the next two weeks, his trees will escape injury and a fair crop next year, may be expected.

In a statement issued at Medford
Thursday, Dr. James Withycombe, Re-
publican direct primary nominee for
Governor, outlines the policies and
ideals of state government to which he
adheres as an aspirant for the office
of chief executive. The statement, In
effect, is a platform and in It he dis
closes fully and Enthusiastically his
stand on the vital issues of the cam
paign.
That DR.. Withycombe is in warmest
accord with the direct primary law and
the laws enacted by the people is en-
phasized in the strongest terms. He
stamps the primary law as success,
which is provided beyond all doubt by
the spectacle of seven defeated candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
now standing shoulder to shoulder In
support OF the successful candidate.
DR.. Withycombe calls attention to the
fact that he was the first man public

II was stated when the Tariff was
lowered that the intention was to open
up foreisn markets TO Americans
while opening mp the American market
To foreigners. Unfortunately, this has
not been accomplished. The products
of the American farmer are being dis
played 10y foreign products, and at
the same time We are unable TO com
pete abroad.
We have the greatest natural re-
sources in the world, We have the
greatest land area for farming. We
have an expensive Department of Agri-
culture whose duty il is to teach
American farmers the most modern
methods. Until the low Tariff was
written upon the books our position
as "A producing nation was unQuestion-
ed, The low Tariff, however, has
shackled the arms of the American
farmer, and he is standing helpless in
his field, Watching with hewilderment
the influx of the cheap food products
which We have invited TO take posses
sion OF our markets.
