SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES.
Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair
All Came Out—Cured in Three
Weeks by Cuticura.
“After having the measles my whole
head and neck were covered with scaly
sores about as large as a penny. They
were just as thick as they could be.
My hair all came out. I let the trou
ble run along, taking the doctor’s blood
remedies and rubbing on salve, but it
did not seem to get any better. It
stayed that way for about six months;
then I got a set of the Cuticura Reme
dies, and in about a week I noticed a
big difference, and in three weeks it
was well entirely and I have not had
the trouble any more, and as this was
seven years ago, I consider myself
cured. Mrs. Henry Porter, Albion,
Neb., Aug. 25, 1906.”
Caught Whiskers in Safe.
In locking his safe the other night

George Edgemont, a paperhanger who
lives at Jefferson street and Hermit

door upon his flowing whiskers and
w*as held until released by his daugh
ter, says the Philadelphia Inquirer.
Edgemont had been out collecting
bills during the day. Returning to his
office he opened his safe and placed
the money in it. He then threw the
door shut, catching the end of his
beard in the door. In the excitement
incident to his odd predicament he
forgot the combination and so could
not release himself. With his chin
resting on the safe he was discov
ered about an hour after the accident
by his daughter, who came to find
what had delayed him. The safe was
broken open by a locksmith.

BEGAN YOUNG.
Had “Coffee Nerves” from Youth.
“When very young I began using
coffee and continued up to the past
six months,” writes a Texas girl.
“I had been exceedingly nervous,
thin and very sallow. After quitting
coffee and drinking Postum Food Cof
fee about a month my nervousness
disappeared and has never returned.
This is the more remarkable as I am
a Primary teacher and have kept
right on with my work.
"My complexion now is clear and
rosy, my skin soft and smooth. As a
good complexion was something I had
greatly desired, I feel amply repaid
even tho this were the only benefit
derived from drinking Postum.
“Before beginning its use I had
suffered greatly from indigestion and
headache; these troubles are now un
known.
“Best of all. I changed from coffee
to Postum without the slightest incon
venience, did not even have a head
ache. Have known coffee drinkers
who were visiting me, to use Postum
a week without being aware that they
were not drinking coffee.
"I have known severa* to begin the
use of Postum and drop it because
they did not boil it properly. After
explaining how it should be prepared
they have tried It again and pro
nounced it delicious.”

The Worst Was Yet to Come.
A southern pulpit orator, one Sun

thus:
“Dis young man got to thinking
about his meanness and his misery,
and he tuk off his coat and frowed it
away. And den he tuk off his vest
and frowed dat away. And den tie tuk
off his shirt and frowed dat away too.
And den he come to liisself.”

Best He Could Do.
It was his first circuit, and, more
over, he had to defend his first client,
who was a better known than re
spected burglar. In an Interval he
approached a veteran member of the
bar and sought for advice.
"And how long do you think I
ought to make my speech to the jury,
sir?” he finished up.
“I should say about an hour,” said
the old hand.
“An hour! Why, I thought ten
minutes would be ample! Why so
long?”
“Well,” said his adviser, “you see,
they can’t sentence him till you’re
finished, and the longer you talk the
longer he’ll be out of jail!”—Stray
Stories.
Going to Be Fined.
When George Ade was a newspaper
reporter he was sent to “write up” an
Irish laborer who had fallen from a
building. When Mr. Ade arrived on
the scene, several officers and others
were helping the injured man into the
ambulance. Mr. Ade pulled out his
pad and pencil. “What’s his name?”
he asked one of the policemen.
The injured man, who had heard
Ade and who mistook him for the
timekeeper employed by the con
tractor, rolled his eyes in a disgusted
way.
“What d'ye think o’ that?” he mut
tered. “I’m goin’ to be docked for
the few minutes I lose coin’ to the
hospital! ” —Success.
With a smooth Iron and Defiance
Starch, you can launder your shirt
waist just as well at home as the
steam laundry can; it will have the
proper stiffness and finish, there will
be less wear and tear of the goods,
and it will be a positive pleasure to
use a Starch that does not stick to the
iron.
His Chronic Panic.
“I’m a panic victim,” began the
mendicant.
“Lost your position?” queried the
kind citizen, handing over a dime.
“No,” replied the other, pocketing
the coin, “but I’m scared to death ol
work.”
