notable that the first book received was

There Is only one test by which to
Juil?e of the efficiency of any article
and that is by Its ability to do that
??vhlch it Is intended to do. Many hair
vigors may look nice and smell nice,
but the point Is? do they eradicate Dan
Jruff <md stop falling hair?
Xo. they do not. but Herpiclde does,
because it goes to the root of the evil
and kills the germ that attacks the
mpllla from whence the hair gets its
ife.
l.ettfrs from prominent people everyw

Excepting perhaps some Malay&u
tribes the African negroes are said to
be the finest agriculturists of all the
natural races. The Pougos are said to
have a greater variety of garden plants
around their huts than are found in the
fields and gardens of a German vil
lage. Irrigation Is practiced. The An
golas. In the Kongo dlstriclt, have prac
tical irrigation. The Wachangu show
wonderful skill In Irrigating their ter
raced hillsides by tunnels of water di
verted from the main stream. "They
have a clear mode of Irrigating equally
a given surface. As the little canals
of water are always elevated above the
cultivated plants, they will tap them
at a convenient spot above the beds to
be watered and then turn the stream
Into a rou?h conduit made of the hol
low stems of buiianns cut In half, the
end of each ste:n overlapping the next.
Then as the water enters the lust Joint
it Is freely turned right aud left, dis
tributing the vivifying stream In all
directions."? Southern Workman.
? Too Col;l For Overcoats.
"You do not And uuy one wearing
overcoats in Alaska, even In the win
ter," said a man from that territory.
"The principal thing to be careful
about Is keeping the bend, hands and
feet warm. In that part of Alaska
where I have been the only land' trans
portation Is by dog sleds, and to fol
low them one has to drop Into a dog
trot beside the sled. An ordinary suit
Is plenty thick enough to kei?p yon
warm, and an overcoat Is dangerous li >
that temperature. Trotting alongside
a sled wearing au overeoat would
make you perspire, and the bitter cold
would freeze the perspiration. The
men there wear a fur cap that covers
every part of the head and face except
the eyes, and there Is only a little peep
hole for them. Wool lined mitts are
worn on the bauds and moccasins with
woolen stockings on the feet."? Balti

THANKS CUTICURA
FOR COMPLETE CURE
"Some time ago I wrote you for a
book on the Cuticura Remedies and
received it O. K. and went and bought
the Soap, Ointment, and Pills. They aid
me inore good than any medicine I ever
used. They cured me of my skin disease,
and I am very thankful to you. My
trouble was eruption of the skin, which
broke out in si?ts all over my body,
and caused a continual itching which
nearly drove me wild at times. I got
medicine of a doctor, but it did not cure
me, and when I saw in a paper your
ad., I sent to you for the Cuticura book
and I studied my case in it. I then
went to the drug "store and bought one
cake of Cuticura Soap, one box of Cu
ticura Ointment, and one vial of Cuti
cura Pills. From the first application
I received relief. I used the first set
and two extra cakes of Cuticura Soap,
and was completely cured. I had
suffered for two years, and I again
tliank Cuticura for my cure. If you
wish, vou may publish this. You*
