Cuticura Healed Itching Pimples on Chin and Forehead
“My Muligurement began ten years ago. Pimples broke out on my chỉn anứ forehead and soon spread all over my face. The burning and itching at night nearly drove me mad. They would suy for months, then would dry up and go away. After about a week the pimples would appear again, and my face looked so badly that I could not go out of the
house.
"I sent for free sample of Cut- cura Soap and intment and followed Instractions. I was so pleased with the resulta that I purchased more and within a month my fabe was completely bealed." (Signed) Mts. Elizabeth, Holmes, 29, Willis St., Abercynon, Glam., 3. Waits, Nov. 15, 1929.

Whistler was pleased to eco his "Princesso" over the mantelpiece, but he complained that the red flowers in the Spanish leather "killed" his tones.
Leyland, without asking Jeckyl, agreed to let Whistler experiment. Whistler cut the real border from the floor rug and painted the red flowers gold. The result was "horrible," sa Whistler painted

SEX INEQUALITY. IN PRISON.
GOOD CONDUCT REMISSIONS.
The fact that women serve only two-thirds of their sentences whero-
as men have to serve three-quarters was referred to by the Recorder (Sir Ernest Wild, K.C.) at the Old Bailey.
For sonic reason I, as a mére man, have never been able to fathom," he said, "a toman gets a third off, her sentence whereas a man gets a quarter off for good con- duct.
Sir Ernest was dealing with the case of Mary Midicent Hampson (69), a nurse, who pleaded guilty to thefts from lodgings.
The Recorder said that she had boen stealing since 1898, but a few years ago she obtained a situation hd was left a house worth £1,000 by her employer. In her sudden access to wealth she had apparently lent money to people she met in prison, and on becoming penniless had started stealing again.
He Bentonced her to eighten months' hard labour.
BRONCHITIS PERIL.
PEPS SPEEDILY END COUGH- ING, CONGESTION AND
HARD BREATHING,
The cold season y hort again and with it a revival of the old insidious bronchial troubles. The spasmodic bouts of wheezy and exhaustive coughing and that made-up feeling in the inflamed air-tubes soon leads Lo the lungs becoming congested and the breathing terribly difficult. These symptoms, if neglected, may so weaken the chest and lungs that every sudden chill or cold brings a threat of deadly pneumonia...
Even the most stubborn cases of acuta or chronic bronchitis yield to the famous Peps treatment. These wonderful breatheable tablets bring ull the well-known virtues of bal- sainie pine-forest air to the aid of. the weak-chested.
When stripped of its protective wrapper and dissolved in the mouth, a Peps, tablet gives off, valuable medicinal fumes. Thes fumes pass naturelly with the: breath through all the delicato dir passages direct to the lungs. Peps speedily remove congestion. They soothe the throat; banin the stub- born cough, allay irritation and inflammation in the breathing" tubes, and comfort and strengthen: all chest sufferers, vừ
are invaluable for coughs, colds and chills, sore throat, laryngitis, brón chitis, bronchial catarrh, asthma, ete. All medicine dealers sell Peps: in handy-size bottles.
