FACE lTcHED AND BURNED

1888 No. Union St, Aurora, Ill.--"My
ailment started with a little pimple
and it always itched and burned ter
ribly. l scratched it and in a few
days my face was all covered with
sores. 1t ran up to my eyes and the
day after | could not see out Of my
right eye. l was unable to get any
rest. couldn't go to bed, being
afraid Of getting the clothing all
soiled, although | had my face all
bandaged.
Il was given two Jars of salve but
it kept getting worse. 1t was some
thing like a running sore because
every time / used some of the salve
| had to wrap bandages around my
neck to keep the water and pus from
running down my body. | wrote for a
sample of Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and in a few days I received
these and washed my face with the
Cuticura Soap and put on some Cuti-
cura Ointment and the next morning
my face felt cool and somewhat re-
ieved. After using the sample I
bought some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. l followed
this treatment just twenty-six days
and after using m cake of Cuticura
Soap and two boxes Of Cuticura ONT

Butterfly Decoration.

Many artists have employed the but
teriy in decoration, but neither brush
nor crayon is as effective as nature
itself. No imitation, however good,
can do justice to the gorgeous colors
of the tropical butterfly. One might
as well try to reproduce a rainbow in
oils. A most effective no%velty-a but
terf1y tray-was shown me yesterday
by a charming North side hostess. 1t
was made on the same principle as
the tapestry tray. A glittering butter
fly, the spread of whose wings must
have been all of ten inches, was
mounted on a stalk of milkweed. The
pressed butterfly was then covered
with glass and Theoretically sealed in.
To say that the tray was stunning is
to speak very feebly Of its attractive
ness. With this objet dart as a GEN.
terpiece a clever hostess could easily
arrange a butterfly iencheon.'-Chi

DONKEY IN LONESOME MOOD
Somewhat Peculiar Appeal Made by
Small Maid, Touched by Sadness
of Her dumb" Pet.

This summer, Mr.. Cakes, an eminent
lawyer, sent his wife and young daugh-
ter to a farmhouse in the White
mountains for a vacation. Shortly
after, he received an urgent request
from the little girl to send her a pet
donkey to use while there. She had
read about donkeys and heard about
them, but was not at all familiar with
their peculiar vocalism.
The donkey arrived and the child
had many rides around the vicinity.
She enjoyed it all hugely except the
animals strange noises, which in.
spired her with the profoundest pity
for his evident distress.
One day, after vainly trying to sub.
due his vocalism, she wrote a letter
to her father, in which she said:
Dear Father: | do wish you would
come up here soon; my donkey is so

POVERTY TO WEALTH
w. B. conneIl, a Miner of Alaska,
Broke a Year Ago, is Now
Worth $4,000.

Portland, Ore.-Broke less than a
year ago and working at odd jobs
cleaning Easements and yards In
this city and now worth $50, 900, all of
which vas secured through his own
Efforts, is the experience of w. B.
Jonnell, an Alaska miner.
To H. A. Davie, deputy city attor-
ney of this city, is largely due much Of
he credit for the good fortune which
aas befallen the lucky miner. Cornell
came to Davie last July with the story
hat he knew Judge Dayie, the local
attorneys father, who was formerly a
Judge in British Columbia. He had a
hardluck story and pleaded for work.
Davie gave him some odd jobs clean
ing the yard and basement In his home,
gor which he paid the man two dollars.
After the work was. completed the
stranger asked for six dollars for rail-
way fare to Seattle, from which place
be intended to go to Alaska. The man
appeared to be honest, and he gave
Connell six dollars.
That was the last heard Of the man
until a few days ago, when he received
a letter written from the White Horse
river, Yukon territory. Cornell said
that he had reached Alaska and had
gone to the Chisana gold fields, and
there had located on three claims.
Il have sold the three claims
writes Cornell, ito a New York syndi-
cate for $4,000; $4,000 cash, $4,000
in three months and the remainder in
six months. So, taking everything into
consideration, / have not done SO aw-
fully bad since last July, when / was
fiat broke. / shall certainly make 1t
my business to visit Portland and see
you and your family. I nave a notion
to quit the mining game, as $50, 900
will keep me II l use 1t as it should
be used.
by the way, / have a couple of mug
gets to send you and your wife, and
also one for your sister. l often
thought Of you and Mrs. Davie. She
was very kind to me when I was clean
ing out your basement. This Is a real
happening in a miners l~ife--broke one
day and plenty Of money the next"
Concluding his letter, Cornell said
the Chisana country was no place for
a poor mars because all the claims
were staked and prices OF everything
are sky high"

Armv,a rlnht on rvnhold.

The efficacy of the treatment of ty-
phoid by vaccination is estimated by
the remarkable statistics for the
United States army during last year,
when only two cases of typhoid fever
among the enlisted force of $4,000
were recorded. OF the two cases n
was that of a mar who had not been
treated with the vaccine; the other
was among the troops in China. This
man had been immunized in 1911, but
the history of the case is in doubt.
Before the vaccine treatment was
adopted the typhoid average was 8 to
1000; in 1910, before i%nocluation was
practised, the rate was 2.32 to 1000;
in 1911 it dropped to 0.SO, and in 1912
to 0.26.-Engineering Record.

st. Moritz, Switzerland.%It has
been said that it requires not only
natural advantages, but a quarter Of
a century's labor, to make a really
good Swiss winter resort. st st.
Moritz is to be seen the outcome of
80 years of energy and capital expen-
diture. The 'Cresta, most wonderful
of toboggan-runs--a %glistening pol
ished sheet of ice from Church Leap
to Cresta village-is the result of
many years Of loving study and labor.
The Kinks are the product not only of
much money but also Of long expert
ence in the fine art of tending ice
at an altitude of 5000 feet. Many
years of observation have enabled the
devoted engineer of the bobrun to
combine the maximum Of thrills with
the minimum of danger. At st. Moritz
q man will find any winter sport he
loves, and find it the very best of it's
kind. Bandy, tobogganing, bobbing,
~ski-loring, curling, are all at their best
in this the most important winter
sport centers in Switzerland, and are
to be had side by side with every
amenity and luxury of modern life.

of the adjuncts and by-products of life
at st. Moritz In winter.

Of a moral and a social sort. 1t is,
