Tells How Cuticura
Cleared Her Skin

''Pimplcs came on my face and
across my chest and shoulders. They
were scattered and came TO a head so
that my face was dishgured. They
itched so that I irritated the affected
parts. I had these pimples abou, two
years.
Il used many remedies, but they
did me no good. Then ] used Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment, and after
using two cakes Of Cuticura Soap with
two boxes Of Cuticurs Ointment was
healed" D." (Signed) Miss Emily Nor
ris, Carmichael, Pa, August u, 1917.
It is distressing to reflect that much,
if not all, of THIS suffering might have
been prevented byusing Cuticura Soap,
and no other, for everyday toilet pur-
poses with a little Cuticura Ointment
now and then as needed to soothe and
heal the FIRST signs Of skin or scalp

HERE A glimpse into
The LONG. LONG AGO

In recalling the past, prominent
Wilmingtonian relates the fact that the
building now occupied by the Worth
Company at Claymont was the first
railroad station In that section Of the
state. The first agent was The late
George Thompson The building was
originally built from the old stringers
from The track and faced by iron rails
a few sizes larger than a farm wagon
tire.
10 took a day TO go TO Philadelphia
then, whereas it takes less than an
hour now. and scarcely a trip was
made In those days without the train
getting of the track. sometimes more
than once In the same trip so tickets
were sold then, the passenger paying
the conductor. II The agent had friend
who wanted TO 80 90 Philadelphia, he
simply wrote on piece of paper
friend of mine" and the passenger
went free. There We're no postage
stamps then and the railroad made
quite o sum carrying letters, The letters

KUSERAT TRAPPERS
EXPECT BE SEISON

With the rage for furs to bedeck the
ladies from the tops Of her boots to the
tip Of her latest military helmet hat
continuing undated muskrat trappers
in Delaware have promising prospects
for big muskrat season, which is now
in full swing and lasts thru the winter
until April
The present cold weather has kept
the marshes frozen so that the traps
could not be tended but the season so
far has been q good one, with eXcep-
tionally high prices for the pelts. Not
only are the trappers getting q good
price for the furs but There is-a steady
demand for the muskral meat, which
is as tender as young pork and very
cheap substitute for beef or mutton.
Muskrat meat is very good to eat and
the people Of lower Delaware regard
1t as a. delicacy, which is always in
demand City people, as rule, turn
up their noses al 10, but under the
name Of marsh rabbit many are eaten
in the big hotels. Large quantities of
the skinned muskrats have been sold
as low as cents each, but this year
with the demand much greater they
are already selling for 10 cents apiece,
with the price likely 10 60 higher be-
fore the season is over.
The rats are unusually plentiful
this year and owners of good muskrat
marshes are getting more money leas-
ing to lrappors than from their best
farm land All along the Delaware bay
shore, and especially around the towns
Of Milton, Milford and Bowers, are the
rats very plentiful Buyers circle the
bay shore in automobiles buying up
the pelts and are paying as high as
81 a skin. A good irapper can catch
eighty a day.
