Constantly Scratching, Hair Thin and Lifeless. HEALED BY CUTICURA SOAP AND OINTMENT “My daughter was troubled very much with dandruff and her scalp was soreand very tender. Great patches of dandruff would form on the scalp, and drawing a comb through her hair would often start the blood. The dandruff scaled off and could be seen on her clothing. She suffered extremely from her scalp itch- ing, and she was constantly scratch- ing. Her hair was getting thin and lifeless. I sent for a free sample of Cuticura Soapand Ointment. Ipurchased more, and now she is healed.” (Signed) Mrs. Carrie A. Bryan, 21 Centre Place, Jamaica Plain, Mass. You may rely on Cuticura to care for your skin, scalp, hair and hands.

This, how- | ever, is untrue, or only partly true. | “Admitted that the great major of our population is a mixture of G i written tian dialect, which is a branch of the German language. Nevertheless, our history has removed us far from the German root and ‘has made us French. “During the sixteenth and seven- teenth centuries we were utterly sep- arated from Germany and took no part in the formation of the new Germany which was forming under the banner of Prussia. The new Ger- many became a stranger to us, while France drew nearer and nearer to us. “The great French revolution finally decided our national character. The entire population of Alsace-Lorraine was caught by the revolutionary movement.
