Jn a thorough article by Dr. Grace Peckham Murray in tile Au gust Delineator are these instructions, which anyone can follow: “Beside protecting the hands with gloves, oue can do much to keep them in condition by the use of proper soap —one that hRS not too much alkali, which most scented soaps have—and by applying plenty' of grease before dry ing them. White vaseline answers the purpose for the'majority. It. is well lo have some always on the washstand, to be able to tub it in just before drying the hands. Vaseline does not always agree with the skin any more than gly- j cerine, which by itself can be nped by i fsw. A good preparation is glycerine1 which has been diluted with water and rose-water in rqua* parts, or glycerine, rose-water and tincture of betz >in, one third of each. The hands should be most carefully dried after washing. The use of almond meal is good in this pro cess.” Ia addition, the art of manicuring is explained in detail, with pictures that, render it easy to keep the nails of the hands and feet in good condition. Brutally Tortured. A case came to light that for persist ent and unmerciful torture has perhaps never bsen equalled. Joe Golobick of Colusa, Cal., writes: “For 15 years I en dured insufferable patu from rheuma tism aud nothing relieved me, though I tried everything known. I came | across Electric Bitters, and it’s the greatest medicine on earth for that j trouble- A few bottles of it completely I relieved and cured me.” Just as good l for liver and kidney troubles and gen I eral debility.

The Weekly Oracle, published at Dawson Springs, Kentucky, has this to ; say of the cashier of the new Bank of j Kemper: | There is hardly a citizen in Dawson j Springs who does not know Mr. B. R. Kuykendall. He was ia business here ) for several years and was a public sptr j ited, progressive citizen. He was the founder of the Bank of Dawson, of which he was a director and cashier for Home time; he was the prime movei in j the promotion of the New Century i Hotel, one of the most magnificent ho i teis in the South, of which he was man ! ager lor two years ; it wa6 ho who in I duced the Oracle to locate here, and a |. number of other enterprises which have fall worked lor the upbuilding of our : thriving little city.

It is the only bank j in the county. Mr. Kuykendall's many - friends here will be glad to learn that j he is prospering.

As! nothing could be learned of the ani- j mal’s whereabouts during the week following its disappearance, a “strayed” I notice was inserted in the columns of the )a>t issue of The Kemper Herald, that of JuDe 30rh, and two days later j (Saturday', July 2nd) Uncle Frank re-J ceiffld through the mail a card from .
