"1 have had eczema for over fifteen years, and have tried all sorts of remedies to relieve me, but without avail. 1 stated my case to one of my friends and he recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I bought them with the thought that they would be unsuccessful, as with the others. But after using them for a few weeks I noticed to my surprise that the irritation and peeling of the skin gradually decreased, and finally, after using five cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuti- 1 cura Ointment it disappeared entirely.

( One hundred and sixty million j pounds of honey seems like a good < deal for bugs the size of bees to collect every year, and yet thi3 is creditably reported to the Department o< Commerce and Labor by Vice Con- i sul Charles Karminskl. of Seville, to be the regular annual supply of the world. Germany, he says, leads the nations with 20,000 ton3 a year, followed by Spain with 19,000. Austria is a good third, with 15,000, and France brings up the rear of the principals with 10,000 tons per annum. Several other European countries are credited with a few thousand tons, but the United States is not even mentioned in the list. So far as the reader might gather there might be no bee3 in thi3 country at all. As a matter of fact, however, the American bee is quite busy, so say Government figures, for according to the census of 1900, the bees of 1S89 produced 30,600 tons oJ sweet stuff. i The Caressing Irish Voice. 1 There is no voice in the world j which I think so soft?with so much s or a coo and caress in it?as the Irish < voice.

I bad been drinking it for a long while and these blotches gradually appeared, until Anally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee Itself. "I formerly had a3 fine a complexIon as one could ask for. "When I became convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Coffee, and as I made it well, according to directions, I liked it v?rv much, and have since that time used It in place of coffee. "I am thankful to say I am not nervous any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my complexion is now as fair and good as It was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble." Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will leave off coffee and use Postum Food CofTee and nutritious, healthy food in proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Na'ture uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion as well as a good healthy body.

He gave it as his opinion that the trio of alleged confidence men whom he accuses have cleaned up more than $1,000,000 in the past two years. At least two men are said to have been ruined financially by the scheme. Davis told his story at the hearings of W. J. (Jake) Adams and Frank B. Ranger, of Pittsburg, and Frank Thompson, of New York. These are the men who Davis alleges defrauded him of the $76,000. At the conclusion of the hearing Alderman Toole stated that while he would reserve his decision for a week he would no doubt dismiss the complaints because of lack of jurisdiction. Former Mayor W. E. Sykes, of Ma- | rietta, counsel for Davis, was arrested at the conclusion of the hearing on a warrant sworn out by Ranger, charging him with conspiracy to indict. He at once gave ball. Davis said that he was first approached jjy Ranger and John E. Curry, of Marietta, last September. They told him that Thompson was the dealer in a faro game in New York, and wanted to get even with the syndicate which employed him. Davis was induced to take $25,000 to New York, and was to play in the game with the money. Thompson, it was agreed, would deal the cards so that Davis would win $100,000. After arriving in New York Davis was taken to the Imperial Hotel, and from there to a house just off Columbus avenue, three blocks from the , Majestic Hotel.

ROCKEFELLER' WORKERS NEI roe Only Medicine That Will Rest the Found in the Quiet CITIES TOO BUSY AND TOO CROWDED New York City. ? The Rev. Dr. Charles F. Aked. the high salaried pastor brought from England by John D. Rockefeller, preached his last sermon for the summer at the Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, and advised the members of his congregation to get out of town, rest, forget troubles, debts, newspapers, telephones and business. City life of today, especially in such cities as New York, is almost enough to drive men crazy, said Dr. Aked, and the only medicine that will rest the body and clear the brain is to be found in the auiet places of the country. "There has been no day in the history of the world when such counsel tvas more needed than to-day," he said. "There are no people on the face of the whole earth who have more cause to heed it and profit by it than we. Our cities are too vast and :oo crowded. "Man, like the other animals, was meant for the fresh air and the open fields, for the storms, the snows and the sunshine. But he claps a stone vox down over his head, sets it in the midst of a hundred thousand other stone boxes as ugly as his own, 3tretching away in bewildering squares and parallelograms, shutting aut God's air and light, until he is ready to faint on a warm day and freeze on a cold one, and die of pneumonia?or terror?if the east wind dIows upon him. "This crowded, rushing, pushing, ;rushing city life gets on our nerves. We live too fast. We live faster than men ever lived before. We live more than twenty-four hours in the day anri mnrp than seven davs in the sveek. We burn the candle at both jnds, and then, for fear that our neighbor will get aheed of us. we light it in the middle, too. We are consumed by the fever of living. We jxhaust our vital energies in unending stress and strain. "We have no time to think. It is 13 much as we can be expected to do if we earn bread and cheese and lay by a pound or two against a rainy lay. The great majority of us are just as capable of flying as we are of thinking. Leisure for quiet contemplation of the world which we live in is denied us. There is no grass beneath our feet, no blue sky over our head. The world of trees and flowers and singing birds is not for us. A.rt and poetry and gentle culture exist only in a world of dreams. While if we once gave ourselves pause to meditate upon the deep things of Sod and the soul, on time and its tneaning, life and its mysteries, hiavsn and the glories which we thrust away, why?we might miss the next car! "The injunction which insults me every time I travel in the subway is: Step lively, now! Hurry up, there!' Hurry by all means, for we could not live if we did not kill ourselves to Set somewhere else." Dr. Aked repeated Lewis Morris' "Evensong," and said: "There is one consideration which we cannot escape.

S PASTOR SAYS ED A SUMMER VACATION i Body and Clear the Brain is to Be Places of the Country. FOR RIGHT LIVING AND RIGHT THINKING words are bitter mockery, for whom no changing seasons bring cassation from toil and weariness. What of them in these days of summer sun\ shine and joy? "There should be none such, except the vicious. And Christianity cannot rest while such mortals live, disfranchised of their right to rest and happiness. The unaccomplished mission of our faith is the redress of every economic inequality. There id no gospel which is not a gospel of social service. We live to bring all mankind into the family of God. But meanwhile, while such poverty remains, while such evil conditions sadden and appall us, what right hava we to our holidays, to our happiness? Can we sit at our feast blindfold, or dare we open our eyes? What right have we to any feast while our broth ers starve in the midst of plenty? None, if our lives are wrong. If we are living for ourselves, thinking, J planning, accumulating for ourselves, none. But if all life to us is a sacred trust, if happiness is only so much ( stored up energy to be expended in ' divine redemptive toil, then go, keep * the feast, charge your blood and 1 brain with health and flood your soul with joy. * I , "For the present go away and for- 1 get! It is a counsel of perfection ' and you would not follow it, else I should say to you, go where you can ' have no letters, no newspapers, no telegrams, where the ring of the tele- ! phone bell is never heard, and where even the Marconi cannot come. But at least do your best to forget. Forget your business. Forget your ' debts. Forget your debtors. Forget that in this world there is suffering, sickness or sin. Only remember that the sun shines for you, the moonlight and the starbeams are for you, the tides ebb and flow for you, the gorse upon the hillside, the purple heather 1 and the fields dressed in living green are for you " ' Dr. Aked said he had no patience with the attitude which makes a sad ' and doleful thing out of the practice J and forms of Christian worship. "Let us have done with these sol emn hypocrisies of conventional worship," he said. "Let us frankly claim our heritage of happiness in a world whose maker and builder is God. One day Paxton Hood had to preach in a Yorkshire church. It 11 was a glorious summer morning. A good brother gave out: 'My thoughts on awful subjects roll, , Damnation and the dead ' "But Paxton Hood leaped to his feet and said, 'Oh, no, they don't!" My thoughts do not roll on anything so dreadful. Let us sing: "Come let us join our cheerful songs. With angels round the throne.' "We pray God to forgive our sins, i we ought to pray to be forgiven our sadness. There is no virtue in misery. The melancholy pferson is not necessarily a superior person; and if he were the superior person is gener ally detestable. A lace as long <*s a , fiddle and a voice like a crow's will J not be imputed to us for righteousness. We shall not go to heaven for our tears or to hell for our smiles. Humor is a gift of God as well as pathos." The best way to spend Sunday or any other holiday, said Dr. Aked, was to follow Christ's advice to His diciples: "Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place and rest awhile."

The Defendant Congratulated. Houston, Va.?After being in the Jury room one hour the jury returned a verdict of "not guilty" in the case of former Judge William G. Loving, of Nelson County, the manager of the Vifsinia estate of Thomas F. Ryan, who was placed on trial here before the Circuit Court of Halifax County, for the murder of Theodore Estes, the son. of Sheriff M. K. Estes, of Nelson County. Judge Loving shot and killed young Estes on the afternoon of April 22 at Oakridge, following a buggy ride that Estes had taken'with the judge's daughter, Miss Elizabeth Loving, who told her father that her escort had drugged and assaulted her. The verdict is a complete vindication of Virginia's "unwritten" or "higher" law. Members of the jury admit that the plea of emotional insanity had nothing to do with the verdict they rendered. "Judge Loving did just what any Virginian would have done under similar circumstances." one member of the jury said. "We rendered the verdict we did because we in Virginia believe in preserving the sanctity of our homes and the honor of our women." Scores rushed up to congratulate Judge Loving and Miss Loving as they withdrew from the court room, but when they walked to the hotel none of the curious sought to follow them. The Estes faction is distressed over the verdict, not so much because they are vindictive as because the verdict casta an imputation of guilt on the dead man. Collateral evidence touching his culpability was excluded, and It was this ruling which scored the victory for Judge Loving. Friends of the dead man still adhere to the belief that he in no way wronged the girl. Counsel for Judge Loving upon being Interviewed in this connection said: "The conclusion of the jury to the effect that no assault was committed was absolutely correct." Miss Loving will leave for a visit to friends in a distant State in order to escape notoriety. WOMEN SAVE BIG DAM. Work Till Daylight Stopping Leak at Denver, Col. Denver, Col.?Mrs. M. J.

The express struck the freight engine, crushing it to scrap iron and wrecking many of the freight cars. The baggage and express cars, which were immediately behind the express engine, were broken to pieces. The dining car and two coaches were badly damaged.
