With Irritating Skin Humor Hair Began to Fall Out Wonderful Re sult from Cuticura Remedies. About the latter part of July my whole body began to Itch. I did not take much notice of it at first, but it began to get worse all the time, and then I began to get uneasy and tried all kinds of baths and other remedies that were recommended for skin humors; but I became worse all the time. My hair began to fall out and my scalp Itched all the time. Especially at night, just as soon as I would get In bed and get warm, my whole body would begin to Itch and my finger nails would keep it Irritated, and it was not long before I could not rest night or day. A friend asked me to try the Cuticura Remedies, and I did, and the first application helped me wonderfully. For about four weeks I would take a hot bath every night and then apply the Cuticura Ointment to my whole body; and I kept getting better, and by the time I used four boxes of Cuticura I was entirely cured, and my hair stopped falling out D.

Hitt The late Robert R. Illtt had a knowledge of stenography which was of great value to him In debate. He has been known to rise with his hand full of shorthand notes ot a speech just delivered to which he was about to reply and woe to the man who accused Mr. Hitt of misquoting him. He was the patron saint of the stenographers of the house. Not long ago political influence was about to displace from the line of promotion a young expert writer of shorthand from Michigan whose work Mr. Illtt had occasion to admire. Mr. Illtt went to Speaker Cannon. This will never do, Joe," said the shorthand authority of the house. We cant do without this man. The house must have him. All right. Illtt," replied Speaker Cannon.

If after the toilet Is made lu the morning, a woman would eat perhaps a banana or apple, and sip a glass ot milk or other nourishing drink, she would find It did much toward keep lng up her strength through the day. To stay the stomach before exercise in the morning is all that is necessary. When breakfast Is over there should be no rush to do the dishes they can wait now better than papa and baby can wait at a future date, while mamma recovers. Allow the stomach to commence on Its process of digestion without the physical rushing. Then, again, after the dishes have been wiped, much of the work may be done sitting, instead of standing, thus resting the back and saving the ab domlnal organs from a continuous strain.
