Bothered With Itching for a Long
Time—Kentucky Lady Now Com-

curs.
“After using Cuticura Soap, Oint-
ment, and Pills, I am very glad to say
I am entirely relieved of that itching
bumrr of the head and scalp which I
was* botSbred with quite a length of
time. I did not use the Cuticura
Remedies more than three times be-
fore I began to get better, and now
I am completely well. 1 suffered with
that humor on my head, and found no
relief until I took the Cuticura Rem-
edies. I think I used psveral cakes of
Cuticura Soap, three loxes of Oint-
ment, and two vialB of fills. I am do-
ing all I can to publish the Cuticura
Remedies, for they have done me good,
and I know they will do others the
same. Mrs. Mattie Jackson, Mortons-
vllle, Ky„ June 12. 1905.”

Important Love Letters.
The hitherto unpublished love let-
ters of Mme. De Stael to Benjamin

lication of the letters in question has
been authorized by the Baroness De
Nolde, who is a descendant -of Con-
stant’s wife, the Baroness Von Mah-
renholtz; but the De Broglie family,
Mme. De Stael’s direct descendants,
are said to be strongly opposed to it.
PAIN IN THE JOINTS
Rheumatic Torture* Ceae* Whan Dr.
Williame’ Pink Pilla Make
New Blood.
The first sign of rhenmatism is fre-
quently a pain and swelling in one of
the joints. If not combated in the
blood, which is the seat of the disease,
the poison spreads, affecting other joints
and tissues. Sometimes rheumatism at-
tacks the heart and is quickly fatal.
The one remedy that has cured
rheumatism so that it stays cured is Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills. These pills expel
the. poison from the blood and restore
the system, 60 that the poisonous matter
is passed off as nature intended.
Mrs. I. T. Pitcher, of No. .130 Mon-
mouth street, Newark, N. J., suffered
for about three years from rheumatism
before she found this cure. She says:
“ It began with a queer feeling in my
fingers. In a little time it seemed as
though the finger joints had lumps on
them and I could not get my gloves on.
“ The;i it grew worse and spread to
my knees. I could not stand np and I
could not sleep nights. My suffering
‘ I * ” - *■ -
was more than I can describe. I took a
great deal of medicine, but nothing even
gave me relief until I tried Dr. Williams’
Pink Pills.
“ I read an account of a cure in a case
that was exactly like mine and my lirib-
band got me some of the pills. I took
them for three weeks before I really felt
better bat they finally cured me. ”
Mr. Pitcher, who is a veteran and a
member of B. D. Morgan Post, No. 307
of New York, substantiates his wife’s
statement and says that she now walks
without difficulty, whereas a year ago
he was compelled to push her about in a
wheeled chair. Both Mr. and Mrs.
Pitcher are enthusiastic in their praise
of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills.

Sousa’s Speech.
Sousa, the famous conductor, hates
public oratory and never, if he Can
help it, makes a speech in public.
After one of his performances in Cork
his audience kept clamoring for a
speech and refused to be satisfied
with Umu^sual bow. Finally Sousa

usual “Yes.” "Then I wish you

Bread and Water for Topers.
Mayor Scherff, new reform execu-
tive of Marlon, O., proposes to pun-
ish habitual topers by putting them
on a diet of bread and water for
forty-eight hours or more whenever
they are arrested. He believes that
this would be the most effective pun-
inshment that could be devised and
will put it into practice at once. In
the past all typical “soaks” were kept
in durance vile until sober and then
released. Mayor. Scherff, before his
election, was a working man In one
of the local factories. With the first
day of his administration Marion has
changed from a wide-open town to
a strictly law-abiding municipality.
THE LITTLE WIDOW.
A Noted Miser.
Father Abey, a noted miser, has
died at Berne, Switzerland, aged 70.
When he was 22 a fortune was be-
queathed him and from being a spend-
thrift he at once became a miser.
He lived on bread and water at a
cost of 3 cents a day and left $750,-
000. The sum of $100,000 in gold and
silver was found under his bedroom
floor.
Father Was to Blame.
A Chicago mother kept her boy
away from school, against the re-
quirement-; of the education laws and
protests of the father. The latter,
however, was prosecuted and fined $25
for the court held that he was the
culpable one in failing to establish
himself as the authoritative head of
his household. The judgment is cer-
tainly in harmony with the conven-
tional marriage contract.

A Mighty Good 8ort of Neighbor to
Hava.
“A little widow, a neighbor of mine,
persuaded me to try Grape-Nuts when
my stomach was so weak that it
would not retain food of any other
kind,” writes a grateful woman, from
San Bernardino Co., Cal.
“I had been ill and confined to my
bed with fever and nervous prostra
tlon for three long months after the
birth of my second boy. We were in
despair until the little widow’s advice
brought relief.
“I liked Grape-Nuts food from the
beginning, and in an Incredibly short
time it gave me such strength that I
was able to leave my bed and enjoy
my three good meals a day. In two
months my weight increased from 95
to 113 pounds, my nerves had steadied
down and I felt ready for anything.
My neighbors were amazed to sea me
gain so rapidly , and still more so
when they heard that Grape-Nuts
alone had brought the change.
“My 4-year-old boy had eczema,
very bad, last spring and lost his ap-
petite entirely, which made him cross
and peevish. I put him on a diet of
Grape-Nuts, which he relished at once.
He improved from the beginning, the
eczema disappeared and now ha is
fat and rosy, with a delightfully soft,
clear skin. The Grape-Nuts diet did
it I will willingly answer all in-
quiries.” Name given by Postnm Co.,
fettle Creek, Mich.

Many wonderful cures of female ills
are continually coming to light which
have been brought about by Lydia A.

A night-stick in der belt saves a

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use In the market and
who is reasonably satisfied with the
old. we would suggest that a trial or
Defiance Cold Water Starch be made
at once. Not alone because It is guar-
anteed by the manufacturers to be su-
perior to any other brand, but because
each 10c package contains 16 oss.,
while all the other kinds contain but
12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady
who once uses Defiance Starch will use
no'other. Quality and quantity must
win.

NO MAN IS STRONOER THAN
HIS STOMACH.
Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength Is derived from food. If a
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
If he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. It depends on the
strength of the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
People can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and its associate organs of digestion and
; perform their duty.
