o rCured in 2 Days by Cuticura.
“Some two months ago I had a hu-
mor break out on my limbs below my
knees. They came to look like raw
beefsteak, all red, and no one knows
how they itched and burned. They
were so swollen that I could not get
my shoes on for a week or more, I
used five or six different remedies and
got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching
less. For two or three weeks the suf-
fering was intense and during that
time 1 did not sleep an hour at a time.
Then one morning I tried a bit of
Cuticura. From the moment it touched
me the itching was gone and I have
not telt a bit of it since. The swelling
went down and in two days I had my
shoes on and was about as usual.

Enid, Oklahoma, April 13, 1907.
Dr. C. F Simmons, Sam.Antonio, Texas: *
My Dear Sir—1 was down on your Atascosa County ranch, and spent
four days in looking it over. It is a great tract of land; the finest large
body of land I was ever on. In the four days I spent on it I am sure I did
not see forty acres that could not be cultivated.
The soil is dark and chocolate sandy Ibam, and some black, waxy with a
little sand, but no blow sand. I took soil from different pastures, and
found the land all underlaid with a good clay foundation.
In my opinion, this land, with proper cultivation, will produce every-
thing that can be grown from Maine to California. I never saw a more fer-
tile body of land anywhere.
Such land as this, if located in Oklahoma, would sell for $50 an acre.
The entire tract is within the artesian belt The water from these
wells that I saw and drank, was good for all purposes.
I earned one of your “New Home Sweet Home” books with me and
compared the views shown bv you in it with what I saw, and found every-
thing just as represented. I have read your description of this property,
and you have not overdrawn it in any way. No one can realize what a
splendid opportunity this is to get a good home for a very little money in
the finest climate and on the richest land in the world, until he sees it.
I will be very glad to answer any one who wants to know what I know
about your land. With best wishes, I remain.

In the Same Boat.
“We get some sad cases,” said the
attendant at the Lumpton lunatic
asylum to the interested visitor, and
opened the door of the first cell.
Inside was a man sitting on a three-
legged stool, gazing vacantly at the
wall.
“His is an unhappy story,” said the
atteu “He was in love with a
girl, but she married another man,
and he loat his reason from grief.”
They stole out softly, closing the
door behind them, and proceeded to
the next inmate. 4
This cell was thickly padded, and
the man within was stark, staring
mad.
“Who is this?'’ inquired the visitor.
“This?” repeated the attendant,
“This is the other man!”—Tatler.

If parents realized the fact that cof-
fee contains a drug—caffeine—which
Is especially harmful to children, they
would doubtless hesitate before giv-
ing the babies eoffee to drink.
“When I was a child in ray mother’s
arms and first began to nibble things
at the table, mother used to give me
sips of coffee. As my parents used
coffee exclusively at meals I never
knew there was anything to drink but
coffee and water.
“And so I contracted the coffee habit
early. I remember when quite young,
the continual use of coffee so affected
my parents that they tried roasting
wheat and barley, then ground it in the
coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee.
“But It did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was
long before Postum was ever heard of.
I continued to use coffee until I was 27,
had when I got into office work, I be-
gan to have hervous spells. Especially
after breakfast I wras so nervous I
could scarcely attend to my corre-
spondence.
“At night, after having coffee for
supper, I could hardly sleep, and on
rising in the morning would feel weak
and nervous.
“A friend persuaded me to try Post-
um My wife and I did not like it
at first, but later when boiled good
and strong It was fine. Now w©
would not give up Postum for tho
best coffee we ever tasted.
“I can now get good sleep, am free
from nervousness and headaches. I
reqpmmend Postum to all coffee drink-
ers. .
