Peterson Bros. Dear sirs: I was af-
ficted with what the doctors said were
Varicose Ulcers, and up until about
hve weeks 6 1 have been treating
them for about a year and i've months.
With all the treatments that were
prescribed to me by several doctors I
received little benefit. and they kept
spreading and gave me much distress
and caused me TO quit my work.
I was induced by a brother brake
man to try Peterson's Ointment, and
after I had used two. boxes I saw the
wonderful results. You can tell suf-
fering ones troubled with ugly, pain
full and horrid ulcers that your oint-
ment is a sure cure for them when
everything alse fails, as I have tried
about everything.
Thanking you many times over, I am
your happy friend, Chas. ]. Heyser,

ITS RAINING DOWN
CADORNA'S Way A STEREO-
TYPED PHRASE

Berlin, March 13.-Almost since
the beginning of the war between
Austria and Italy, every paper in
Austria, Hungary, and Germany has
daily made as much fun as possible
Of the reports of the Italian chief,
General Cadorna. His so-called

target for every cartoonist In the
central empires, who has portrayed
him sc often under an umbrella that
the joke has been worn threadbare.
"Cadorna Reports Snow" IT'S Rain
ing Down Cadorna's Way" "Cador-
ma Reports Bad Weather" and half
a dozen other headings of a similar
nature seem to be kept standing in
type in most newspaper offices.
Now, however, the Berliner Tage-
blatt declares seriously that the ter
ritory in which Cadorna's armies are
operating is the most "weather-visit
ed" in all Europe. and that it about
holds the record for rain if not snow

Vienna is sorely realizing the effects
of the war. In the past few weeks
prices of food have advanced by
leaps and bounds. Coal is becoming
scarcer and dearer. Clothing has
doubled in price. And altogether the
immediate outlook for the great
masses of the population is extremely
dismal
Much of the trouble is due to the
army having taken nine-tenths of
the strong, able-bodied laboring men
from the city. Hardly any teamsters
are left, and great quantities of flour
