more to charity in one week than the Paris exposition did during its entire run said a young man of the Quaker city who has just returned from the French capital When the exposition was opened boxes were placed all through the grounds embellished with signs in va rious languages setting forth the fact that the contents would be devoted to charity Millions of people visited the exposition and must have seen these boxes for they were conspicuously displayed They were not examnled until after the close of the exposition and how much do you suppose they all contained Less than 12 Thats a fine

it more desirable for those seeking op portunities for investment and af fording comfort and pleasure to those already there This -practice which has added so much beauty and value to the state in the

near set me crazy the skin would peel off and the flesh would get hard and break then the blood -would flow from at least fifty places on each hand Words never can tell the suffering I endured for three years I tried at least eight doctors but my hands were worse than when I commenced doctoring I tried every old Granny remedy that was ever thought of without one cents worth of good and could not even get relief I would feel so badly mornings when lgot up to think that I had to go to work and stand pain for eight or nine hours mat I often felt like giving up my job which was in the bottling works of Mr E L Kerns the leading bottler oFTrenton N J who will vouch for the truth of my sufferings i Before I could start to work I would have to wrap each finger on both hands and then wear gloves which I hated to do for when I came Intake them off it would take two hours and the flesh would break and bleed Some of my friends who had seen my hands would say If they had such hands they would have them amputated j others would say they would never work and more would turn away in disgust But thanks to Cuticura the greatest of kfn cures it ended all my sufferings Just to think after doctoring three years and spending dollar after dollar during that time Cuticura cured me It has now been two years since I used It and I do not know what sore hands are I never lost a days work
