TERRIBLE ITCHING SCALP Eczema Broke Ont Also on Hands anil Limb?-An Old Soldier Declares: "Cntlcnra is a Blessing:." "At ali times and to all people I am willing to testify to the merits of Cuti eura. It saved me from worse chan the torture pf hades/about the year 1900, with itching on my scalp and temples, and af terwards it commenced to break out on 'my hands. - Then it broke out on my limbs. 1 then went to a surgeon, whose treat ment did me no good, but rather aggra vated the disease. 1 then told him 1 would go and see a physician in Erie. The reply waa that I could go anywhere, but & case of eczema like mibe could not be cured; that I was too old (80). 1 went to ~ aa eminent doctor in the city of Erie and treated with him for si* months, with like results. I h^d read of the Cuticura Remedies.'and so I sent for the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, and con tinued taking the Resolvent until I bad taken six bottles, stopping it to take the Pills. I was now getting better. 1 tqok two baths a day, and at night I let the lather of the Soap dry ou. I used the Ointment with great effect after washing in warm water, to stop the itching at once. I am now cured. The Cuticura treatment is ? blessing, and should be used by every one who has itching of the skin. I can't say any more, and thank God that He bas given the world such a curative. Wm. H. Gray, 3303 Mt. Vernon St., Philadelphia, Pa., August 2, 1905." "Seeing" London. I wish I could revive the first feel ing of strangeness and astonishment which overcame me when I first ar rived in. England and which falls to the envied lot of every foreigner or every Englishman, who has been away from his country for a long time. I turn green with envy every summer when I see the hundreds of American tourists In the streets of London and remember that they are undergoing an experience which v/ill remain with them as an ideal memory for the rest of their lives, but which, if they re main here, will wear off. I used to see Mr. Pickwick and Sam Weller and ^Mr. Panks at every corner in Blooms .^bury, and in Pall Mari I constantly ran across Col. Newcome and Major Pend ennis. For the first few weeks of my first stay in London I haunted the Drury lane district for "types" which had become familiar to me in my youthful novel reading days. The strange thing about it all is that, whereas every American who comes lhere at once points tbese people out zo me and dwells with glee in the discovery, I never see them now. They have either become so familiar to the ^aded view of the Ingrained Londoner or they must have been merely the figment of the easily influenced imag ination of tho impressionable green horn.-Brooklyn Life. Hatred is often the result of knowing but one side of a person. KNIFED Coffee Knifed an Old Soldier. 'An old soldier, released from coffee nt 72, recovered , his health and tells ?about it as follows: "I stuck to coffee for years, although lt knifed me again and again. "About eight years ago (as a result of coffee drinking .which congested my liver), I was taken, with a very severe attack of malarial fever. "I would apparently recover and start about my usual work only to suf fer a relapse. After this had been re peated several times during the year I was again t?ken violently ill. "The doctor said he had carefully studied my case and it was either 'quit coffee or die,' advising me to take Postum in its place. I had always thought coffee one of my dearest friends, and especially when sick, and I was very much taken back by the doctor's decision for I hadn't suspected the coffee I drank could possibly cause my troubles.. "I thought it over for a few minutes and finally told the doctor. I would make the change. Postum was pro cured for me the same day and made according to directions; well, I liked it and stuck to it and since then I have been a new man. The change in health began In a few days and surprised "me. and now, although I am seventy-two years of age, I do lots of hard work and for the past month have been teaming, driving sixteen miles a day, besides loading- and unloading the wagon. That's, what Postum in the pia ce of coffee has done for me. I now like the Postum as well a3 I did coffee. "I have known people who did not care for Postum at first, but after hav ing learned to make lt properly accord ing to directions, they have come to like it as -veli as coffee. I never miss a chance to praise it." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Look for tho little book, "The Road to W.feiljillk" in pigs, - THE WORK OF CONGRESS What is Being Done Day by Day By the National House and Senate. Saved the Bill. At Saturday's session, what might have been a serious parliamentary snarl was dexterously avoided by Speaker Cannon-late Saturday after noon in the House of Representatives when Mr. Murphy, of Missouri) rose to present what he denominated a priviledged resolution? The conference reports on the rate and statehood bills had been nude and ordered printed when the Mis souri congressman presented a reso lution rescinding the action of thc House sending the statehood bill k conference and providing for a vote on the Senate amendments. Mr. Payne, of New Yorky the floor leader of the majority, instantly made the point that the resolution was not privileged. The Speaker with smil ing face, held that the resolution was not priviledged, as thc papers in the ease were with the Senate and he had serious doubt if the resolution would bc privileged even if the papers were with thc House. Confusion ensued, Mr. Murphy and a number of Dcmo ; springing to their -feet to take exception lo the ruliug of tho Speak er. Above thc din Mr. Murphy was heard to say: "Let's have a square deal Mr. Speaker. I appeal from the : decision of the chair," but thc Speak er was* oblivious to the motion for an appeal and adjourned the House at 5.30 until noon on Thursday on mo tion of Mr. Bonyngc, of Colorado, leaving Mr. Murphy's gesticulating on the fioor. ? . The House spent the day consider ing the naturalizing bill but did not complete it. Thc "nub" of thc na turalization bill, the educational test, was debated during much of Hie ses sion, (o bc finally amended by Mr. Kennedy, of Nebraska, whose- amend ment reads as follows: '.That no alien shall hereafter be naturalized or ad mitted as a citizeu of the United States who cannot speak the English language." Thc lest as laid down in thc bill makes it obligatory that the intending citizen must write In's own language and read, speak and under stand the English language." Senate. Passes Postof?ce Appropria tion Bill. The senate passed the postoffice ap propriation bill carrying an appropri ation of $192.485,000 and immedi ately afterward adjourned over Mem orial day until Thursday. The entire day was devoted to the consideration of thc bill as a whole and to spe cial features of thc bill. The.debate dealt with the questions of the fast mail train to the South, second class matter, including the admission to the mails of the publications of colleges, universities and charitable .and edu cational institutions as second class matter, subsidies for Pacific mail steamships, and questions relating to the boxes used on rural free delivery routes. Dilatory Tactics* Aftermath of Tuesday's filibuster ing, ending in arrest and hearing be fore house of number of memb??s, in order to complete a q??rum, came in the house of representatives on th? approval of the journal. A number of the members, who were 'arrested" by the sefueartt-at arms during the call of the Wisc at night, were still in a . savage mood when the house convened and they 'tad personal 'reasons to atjsigi? why iney ^ere absent cn roll call. Throughout the whole of the ses sion which was precipitated by the motion to approve thc journal, the speaker of the house sat almost im movable, now and then indulging in a quiet chuckle over the discomfort of his friends. When his right to drcet the issu ance of the writ of arrest was at tacked, thc speaker following au ex position of thc rules, terminated fur ther argument by asserting that "thc gentleman had been legally arrested." The rules of the house, as to the presence of members,"were brought home to thc members and during the rest of thc day, while the house had under consideration the diplomatic and consular bill, a quorum was con tinuously present. After completing most of thc bill the house at 5 o'clock adjourned uu til noon on Thursday. The Immunity Bill. The Senate passed the Knox im munity bill and the omnibus light house bill, with practically no. de bate, passed the military academy bill, and was only prevented from passing the employers liability bill by a motion nt 2 p. m., to go into exe cutive session. Most of thc afternoon was devoted lo consideration in exe cutive session of the nomiuation pf Judge James Wickersham to bc judge of the United States court for the district of Alaska, but he was not confirmed. The charges against him which have prevented confirmation for three years were urged strongly by Senators McCumber aud Hans brough, Nelson, Teller, Pet tus and a number of others. He was defended by Senator Foraker, Dillingbam, Bailey, Culberson and others. No vote was held, nor did it apocar .that one is eminent. He is serving on a recess appointment.
