The agonizing Itching and burning of the skin, aa in eczema; the frightful scaling, as in psoriasis ; the loss of hair and crusting of the scalp, as in scalled head ; the facial disfigurements, as in acne and ringworm; the awful suffering of infants and anxiety of worn-out parents, as in milk crust, tetter and salt-rheum all demand a remedy of almost superhuman virtues to successfully cope with them. That Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent are such stands proven beyond all doubt. No statement is made regarding them that is not justified by the strongest evidence. The purity and sweetness, the power to afford immediate relief, the certainty of speedy and permanent cure, the absolute safety and great economy, have made them the standard skin cures, blood purifiers and humour remedies of the civilized world. Bathe the affected parts with hot water and Cuticura Soap, to cleanse , the surface of crusts and scales and' soften the thickened cuticle. Dry, without hard rubbing, and apply Cuticura Ointment freely, to allay itching, irritation and inflammation, and soothe and heal, and, lastly, take Cuticura Resolvent, to cool and cleanse the blood. This complete local and constitutional treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest forms of eczema and other itching, burning and scaly humours of the skin, scalp and blood, and points to a speedy, permanent and economical cure when all else fails.

Proper Treatment of Pneumonia, Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doctor himself, although he may 'have the propef remedies at hand. A physician should always be called. It should be borne in mind, however, that pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of the grip, and by the proper treatment of these diseases a threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded off. There is no question whatever about this, as during the thirty years and more that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been used, we have yet to learn of a single case of a cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy -was used. It is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with the best results. Dr. W. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala., who is also a druggist, says of it: "I have been selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in cases of pneumonia and have always gotten the best results." Sold by A. G. Luken & Co., and W. II. Sudhoff, fifth and Main. Bean the Signature of i The Kind You Have Always Bought 4t(

APPLE PLAIT

LOOSE CAUSING CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE OVER THE APPLE BELT OF THE UNITED STAJES They Will Hatch in April A Full Life History Tor Benefit of Farmers. Last spring a small green louse, which was found in great numbers upon the tender shoots of apple trees, caused much damage over the entire atmle belt of the United States. The insect is the common apple I plant louse, which is familiar to every J orchardist as the-small, soft, green' louse which appears on the young ' leaves of the apple in spring. This' insect also affects the pear but not j in such great numbers as it is found j upon the apple. The louse is quite ' small, green in color, and great numbers of them are found together upon the tender foliage of the trees. The life history of this insect is substantially as follows: The eggs are deposited late in the fall on the young shoots of apple trees, usually near the tips of twigs, near where the young insects are to be fed the fol- f lowiiuj spring. When, first deposited these eggs --are yellow in color, or nearly orange, perhaps, but they soon turn dark, and at this season of the year they can be found on the twigs and are of a shiny black color; the esrgs are plump and can easily be de tected with the naked eye. They will be found in groups, and it may happen that only a few twigs on an entire tree will have them. These eggs will remain on the twigs through the winter, and in April, just nr thfi time when the food for the in sects is ready, they wil appear! They will grow rapidly if the weather is warm, more slowly if the weather is chilly. By the time the apple leaves are full grown, however, they will be very numerous, and will all be found on the under side of the leaves and in clusters along the fruit stems. The apple plant louse, in common with other species, is a suckling insect, and therefore cannot be killed ' lv flip arsenical snrav mixtures. It must be killed by a mixture which de stroys by contact. On this account any spraying operations must be very thorough, for if even a few of the insects escape they will be able to produce a great number of others in a few days. The standard remedy for this pest is to spray with a mixture of oil and water, mechanically mixed by one of the newer style spray pumps, or to spray with kerosene emulsion. The latter is made as fol lows : Dissolve half a. pound of hard soap in one gallon of soft water, boiling; when the soap is thoroughly dissolved remove from fire and add two gallons of kerosene. This mixture should be churned vigorously until a perfect emulsion is formed, which will be a thick mass. Before using this should be diluted with water at least ten times. When diluted with twenty parts water the mixture will contain almost 9 per cent oil; about 10 per cent oil is sufficient to kill the plant lice. At this season of the year, when there is apt to be less work on the farm than at the time when the lice appear, one can try to destroy the eggs. This has been tried, with indifferent success, a great many times, but the Idaho experiment station has recently conducted some experiments which promise good results from the work of spraying for the eggs. A number of different mixtures were tried in this work, the one which gave the best results being the following: One pound of sulphur and one pound of slacked lime were placed in a boiler with a convenient amount of water and boiled for two hours and a half. The ingredients by this time were thoroughly dissolved, and then enough water was added to make a total of four gallons. This was strained through a sieve into a barrel and was ready for use. Before using the mixture the trees were examined to find where the eggs were located, and even the twigs wtrich contained the eggs were carefully noted on the various trees. Not every. tree will contain the eggs, nor will every twig on even the infested.

trees, and, as there is no need of wasting the mixture, one should look for the eggs and then carefully spray the infested twigs. Results were good from the use of this mixture, and it is believed that the few lice which hatched were from eggs which were not caught by the spray. Another mixture for summer spraying to destroy the adult lice is made as follows, and this has given good results An Idaho : Take eighteen pounds of quassia chips, put in a barrel and pour ten gallons of boiling water over them ; let stand over night, or at least half a day; then pour off the water, heat it to boiling, and then dissolve in it eighteen pounds of whaleoil soap. Dilute this to make ISO gallons before applying. The careful orchardist will do well to examine his trees now, and if he finds eggs on the twigs either destroy them now, or at least mark them so that when the insects appear in the spring he will know where they will appear first; then they can be destroyed before serious damage is done. THE NEED OF WEDDING REFORM. One of the things that this country

needs is a society for the prevention of cruelty to brides and bridegrooms. People cannot get married without risking their lives. At Franklin, Mass., the other day Mr. Dana Cochrane joined in the holy bonds of matrimony to Miss Edna Hatch without having taken the precaution to don a suit of armor or have himself surrounded by a cordon of police. Both Mr. Cochrane and Miss Hatch being "popular young ieojde," their friends assembled in large numbers to see that they got a satisfactory start on the way to everlasting happiness. There were fortunately no casualties at the home of the bride, where the ceremony was performed, none of the old shoes that were thrown at the blissful couple taking effect. But it must not be supposed that the bride and bridegroom who succeeded in getting into their carriage without sustaining injuries are out of danger. Mr. and Mrs. Cochrane had boarded the train on which they were to go away for a few weeks and had just sat down and begun to try to look unconcerned when a crowd of their loving friends entered the car to exhibit their good will. During the mix-up one of the bridegrooms 's wellwishers hit him on the head with a bag of rice, knocking him senseless and causing the bride to faint. The train was held for fifteen minutes,but the unlucky-man being still insensible at the end of that time the wedding journey had to be given up, and the glad young husband was taken in an ambulance to the home of his fath er-in-law, where, when the latest bulletin was issued, he was doing as well as could be expected. This case and many others of a similar nature wiuld seem to indicate that a wedding reform movement is one of the great needs of the day. If friends of the bride and groom must be invited to the performance they should be handcuffed at the doors, and it would perhaps be well to have them chloroformed a few minutes before train time. With such precautions it might be possible to make marriage comparatively free from danger and in some cases even pleas ant.

When the stomach is diseased and the food eaten is not digested ail assimilated, then the strength of the body begins to fail because of lack of nutrition,' and the weak body falls an easy victim to the microbes of disease. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures diseases of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. It restores physical strength in the only possible way, by enabling the assimilation of the nutrition contained in food. I was sick for over three years with a comFlication of stomach troubles," writes Mr. John f. Castona, residing at 2942 Arch St.. Chicago, Illinois. "Had tried every good physican I knew of, as well as many patent medicines, but received only temporarv relief. One dav a friend recommended your Golden Medical Discovery. I immediately procured some and bepan its use. Commenced to pain the first week, and after I had taken only one bottle I could eat as well as any one without experiencing ill eiiects.

A Storiette for Women. THE SECRET OF HER BEAUTIFUL COMPLEXION.

Ida and Marian sat talking in the dressing room. "I tell you what it is Marian (and she drew her chair closer), your complexion has undergone a great change. You look so different, quite different from what you did three months ago." wDo I look so changed ?" asked Marian innocently. " Of course you do, and you know you do. That is the aggravating part of it, deary. Come, tell me. Have you been making up? " Marian answered with a laugh. What a beast you are. What sort of rouge do you use to get that color ? " Just then brother Tom came in, having returned from the medical college on his holiday vacation. "What was Ida calling you names for, Sis ? " asked brother Tom. " I want to know where she gets that stuff she puts on her face to give her that color and she won't tell me." "Marian did not get that color from any shop, if that's what you mean," said Tom seriously. " Marian can fool you as well as she fools everybody else," said Ida. Brother Tom shook his head. "The leopard cannot change his spots, and a girl cannot change her complexion," persisted Ida. "Anything can be done if you only know how," said Tom. "I'll tell you how to do it. In the first place, you girls do not look after your physical conditions seriously enough. A young and growing girl ( and mature people as well) should occasionally use a gentle laxative pill. I think Dr. R. V. Pierce, who founded the Invalids' Hotel, at Buffalo, N. Y. , has the best, and they can readily be

sionally by every individual when the liver is sluggish, the stomach sour, or the tongue coated. In the second place, the real reason for her beautiful complexion is the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I advised Marian to take this three times a day. She has done so for the past three weeks, and you see the result. It is a medicine which is entirely vegetable and does not contain either alcohol or narcotics. It therefore cannot harm, and I am sure it would do you a great deal of good. Not only does it strengthen, but like the governor on an engine, certainly regulates the entire feminine system." "Yes," said Marian, "it not only has undoubtedly improved my looks, but I no longer have those nervous feelings, feelings of weariness, backache and terrible blue spells. Then too, Ida, it has taken away those black circles or rings which you used to see under my eyes. Is it not true ? " " This is what a lady wrote me concerning the good the Favorite Prescription might do me if I took it. I found her name and address in one of those little memorandum books of Dr. Pierce that are distributed from house to house. Here it is : "I wish to inform you how much Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has benefited me," wrote Mrs. Ray Traver, of Medusa, N. Y. "I call myself cured. My complaints were the usual womanly troubles, which gave me also palpitation of the heart, frequent headaches, and numerous other things. I had almost given up hope of ever being any better but this medicine has worked wonders in my case. Two doctors failed to do me any good and I wrote to Dr. Pierce with but little courage but he wrote such a good, encouraging letter, my husband got five bottles at once, and before I had taken all of the

second I felt much better. I shall always "Ci speak highly of Dr. Pierce's medicine. I am working very hard now, and have been all spring and summer, so far, and feel so proud to think I can. I say to every one it was Dr. Pierce's medicines that J cured me." "1

IT STANDS ALONE. ' Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription stands alone, as the one and only remedy for leucorrhea, female weakuess, prolapsus, or falling of the womb, so abrolutely specific and cure in curing these common ailments of women, as to warrant its makers in offering to pay, as they hereby do, the sum of $500 reward for a case of the above maladies which they can not cure. This is a remarkable offer. No other medicine for the cure of woman's peculiar ailments is backed by such a remarkable guarantee. No other medicine for woman's ills is pos sessed of the unparalleled curative prop- A crties that would warrant its makers in publishing such an offer; no other remedy has such a record of a third of a century of cures on which to base such ( a remarkable offer. M. U. McClendon, Esq., Merchant, Gravelridge, Ark., writes: "My wife (Mrs. h. h. McClendon) was confined to room and bed for some time with indigestion and female trouble. Was unable at times to walk across the room. We tried two as good, doctors as I thought could be found in our part of the country. Neither of them did her any good. Afterward she decided to write to Dr. Pierce for advice. I thought it not wise as I was sure she would be buried before she could receive an answer but she commenced on your remedies and I could see that she was some better by the time she had taken the third bottle. We continued the use' of the medicine quite a while and now she dces all the housework, and stood the examination for life insurance all o. K. Any one who so wishes may write to me at my place of abode." Miss Emma Weller, who is Secretary of the Young People's Christian Association, at 1818 Madi?on Avenue, New York City, says: "Your 4 Favorite Prescription' is a boon to sick ami tired women, for it cures them when other medicines fail. I know whereof" tj I speak, (or I have had experience with it. For fourteen months I had constant headaches ; seemed too weak to perform my daily duties, and when the day was over I was too tired to sleep well. I suffered fromf nervousness and indigestion, and everything I ate distressed me. Doctored with different physicians but received no relief. After reading one of your books I decided to give your Favorite Prescription ' a trial. Am very glad I did, for I found it was just what I wanted. I commenced to improved at once and kept getting better until, after seven weeks, I was entirely cured. I have remained in perfect health ever since, and remain a firm friend of your ' Favorite Prescription.
