Hands Scaly and Itched
Badly, Pain Maddening.
"My fingers and hands became
scaly and itched so badly that I
slept in gloves to prevent scratch
ing. There were red spots almost
the sue of a dime, and the skin was
fiery red. The skin around my nails
was cracked, and my finger-tips were
so swollen I could hardly do my
work. The pain was maddening.
' 1 tried Cuttcura Soap and Oint
ment. After the first application I
rested much better, and after I had used
about half a cake of Soap and half a
box of Ointment my hands were
hej!-d." (.Signed) Miss Grace Jones,
JOS E. 16th St., Los Angeles. Calif.
Make Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Talcum your every-day toilet prepa
rations and watch your skin improve.

FIRST TRAIN CROSSES BRIDGE;
TRANSFER TROUBLES AT END
The completion of the panel work
of the big Tr.nana river steel bridge,
which will be the second largest of
its kind In the world when complet
ed. enabled a train to cross to the
north side yesterday and henceforth,
until the structure is fully complet
ed next spring all freight for Fair
banks will be hauled over the bridge
by rail and be transferred to the
nrrrow gauge line at the north ap
proach to the bridge where yards
have been prepared for the handling
of shipments without delay.
By arrangements with the Ameri
can Bridge Company, the Alaska
n ilroad will have the use cf the
bitdge for transfer purposes at night.
Owing to the fact that no trains
will be able to pass over the bridge
during the day owing to possible In
terference with the construction
work passengers traveling between
Xenana and Fairbanks will be trans
ferred by team connecting with the
train at North Ne:iana as In the
past.
The train which passed over the
bridge veaterday consisted of a car
of steel rails for use In the yards on
the north side of the river. The cars
were pulled over by Engineer Pete
rj-illagher In engine No. 272. which
has replaced the Five Spot for the
winter.
The bridge paneling stands solid
ly on tho false work, more than fifty
fee*, above the river ice. The sides of
the bridge or truss which will be
erected on the panel work, will rise
to a height of 95 feet, and when the
structure is completed it will look
something like the steel bridge at
Fairbanks, only much largor in ev-|
ery way.—Nenana News.

Christ came into the world to

a Joyful day as well as a sacred
day.
It is a day for doing good
deeds, as well as thinking good

receiving gifts only. There are
so many opportunities for doing
good, that we may receive Joy a
hundredfold, with the expendi
ture of Just a little time and

are crushed by disaster. Re

A BIT OF ADVICE
First—Don't Delay. Second—Don't
Experiment
If you suffer from backache; head
aches or dizzy spells; if you rest
poorly and are languid in the morn
ing; if the kidney secretions are ir
regular and unnatural in appearance,
do not delay. In nuch cases the kid
neys often need help.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
prepared for kidney trouble—they
are recommende dby thousands. Can
residents desire more convincing
proof than the statement of a citizen
of this locality?
Geo. Nawottny, butcher, 1349
Grant St., Bellingham, Wash.r says:
"I suffered from lame back and kid
ney trouble. At times when I stoop
ed I could hardly straighten because
of the severe pains which caught me
in the small of my back. I was sub
ject to pains in the back of my head
and spells of dizziness and my kid
neys didn't act rignt. I saw Doan's
Kidney Pills advertised in the paper
and one box knocked the pains out
of my back and head. They also
rid me of the dizziness and made my
kidneys well."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
pimply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Nawottny had. Foster-Milburn
