IN AGONY WITH ITCHING
"Al^out four years ago' I broke out
with sores on my arms like boils. Af-
ter two months they were all over my
body, some coining, and some going
away. In about six months the bolls
quit, but my arms, neck and body
broke out with an Itching, burning
rash. It would burn and itch, and
come out in pimples like grains of
wheat. I was in a terrible condition;
I could not sleep or rest. Parts of my
flesh were raw, and I could scarcely
bear my clothes on. I could not lie
In bed In any position and rest. In
about a year the sores extended down
to my feet. Then I suffered agony
with the burning, itching sores. I
could hardly walk and for a long time
I could not put on socks.
"All this time I was trying every-
thing I could hear of, and had the skill
of three doctors. They said it was
eczema. I got no benefit from all
this. I was nearly worn out, and had
given up in despair of ever being cured
when I was advised by a friend to try
Cuticura Remedies. I purchased Cuti-
cura Soap, Ointment, and Besolvent,
and used exactly as directed. I used
the Cuticura Remedies constantly for
four months, and nothing else, and waa
perfectly cured. It is now a year, and
I have not had the least bit since. I
am ready to praise the Cuticura Rem-
edies at any time. (Signed) E. L.
Cate, Exile, Ky., Nov. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and dealers

POST WITH A HISTORY
MONUMENT TO STUDENT'S VAIN
■EFFORTS TO GET EDUCATION.
Russian's Heroic Attempts to Work j
His Way Through Cornell Univer-
sity Told by Former Ambassa-
dor Andrew D. White.
Andrew D. White, former ambassa-
dor to Russia and Germany, points out
a stone post on the university campua
as a monument to a student who tried
to work his way through the university
soon after Ezra Cornell sent out a call
for students in all parts of the world
who were willing to work to obtain
useful knowledge.
"I shall always thiqk of that stone
post before Sage college as Pelechin's
monument," said Mr. White to a pro-
fessor recently. "Pelechiu had come
all the way from Kiev, Russia, In re-
sponse to the call to a university
where poor men could work their way.
It was Mr. Cornell's Idea that all the
students should be at least partly self-
supporting.
'The Russian had little money left
on his arrival and, came .to me to ap-
ply for work. I reported the matter
to Mr. Cornell, and when a few days
later Mr. Cornell bought this post
from the stone cutters and had It un-
loaded before the south building. Pe-
lechin got the task of putting it In
position. The poor fellow was unac-
quainted with the use of tools and was
very awkward. It was several weeks
before he got a hole dug which would
accommodate the' post in its prpper
position. His strange methods of
work attracted the attention of many
of his fellow students, and they
named It Pelechin's monument, a
name by which it was known for many
years afterward.
"It soon turned out that a monu-
ment was needed. Pelechin soon be-
came not only deficient In funds, but
deficient in scholarship. He made he-
roic struggles to master his studies
without avail, and I finally succeeded
in persuading him that the best thing
he could do was to return to his home
in Russia.
"Imagine my surprise when he
turned up a few years later. He came
to my office and told me he had saved
$500 and proposed to complete his
course. I congratulated him on his
thrift and his determination to suc-
ceed, but with mental reservations.
In n few days he came to my office
again. He told me he had invested
a large part of his capital. I asked
him what Investment he had made,
and he told me he had purchased a
horse and carriage. I was astonished
and asked why he thought a horse and
carriage would be a good investment
"Pelechin told me that there was a
constant demand on the part of a con-
siderable number of the students for a
horse and carriage, and he expected
to make a great deal of money by
hiring them out. Poor Pelechin! He
turned up again in a few days crest-
fallen. He had a sad story to tell. He
had rented the horse and • carriag^to
a party of students, and the animal
had run away, badly Injuring itself
and wrecking the carriage. Soon aft-
erward he left Cornell for good. His
address in the 1908 Ten-Year Book
of the university was still Kiev, Rua
sla."
Strength.
Visitor—I wonder where that, horrid
odor comes from. It can't be the
stockyards, because the wind isn't
blowing from that direction.
Native—That wouldn't make any
difference, mister; when that smell
starts on its travels there's no wind
that can stop it

Titles in England.
Forty or fifty years ago few people
in England had titles. There were
only a few decorations which entitled
their owners to put the prefix "Sir"
before their names. We all of us
looked down with lofty contempt upon
the counts and barons that were so
plentiful in continental countries. Now
we can do so no longer, .for probably
there is no other country in the world
where the traffic in titles is so open
and so indecent as in England. What
the number of our decorations is I do
not know, and I imagine that few do.
Every few years some new one is cre-
ated and an Englishman with a taste
that way can easily manage to ex-
hibit himself covered with metal disks
and bits of ribbon like some success-
ful cow at an agricultural show. These
embellishments may flatter the van-
ity of their wearers, but they do not
increase the respect that is felt for
Englishmen.—London Truth.
Lagging Behind.
"Why are you loitering around

seem to have no object in view."

A SPOON SHAKER.
Straight From Coffeedom.
Coffee can marshall a good squadron
enemies and some very hard ones to
overcome. A lady in Florida writes:
"I have always been very fond of
good coffee, and for years drank it at
least three times a day. At last, how-
ever, I found that it was injuring ma.
"I became bilious, subject to fre
quent and violent headaches, and so
very nervous, that I could not lift a
spoon to my mouth without spilling a
part of its contents.
"My heart gat 'rickety' and beat so
fast and so hard that I could scarcely
breathe, while my skin got thick and
dingy, with yellow blotches on my face,
caused by the condition of my liver
and blood.
"I made up my mind that all these
afflictions came from the coffee, and I
determined to experiment and see.
"So I quit coffee and got a package
of Postum which furnished my hot
morning beverage. After a little time
t was rewarded by a complete restora-
tion of my health In every respect.
"I do not suffer from biliouspess any
mare, my headaches have disappeared,
my nerves are as steady as could be
desired, my heart beats regularly and
my complexion has cleared up beauti-
fully—the blotches have been wiped out
and it Is such a pleasure to be well
again." Name given by Postum Co.,
