What is Eczema?
1t is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortures.

1t is an itching and burning Of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
1t is thousands of pin-headed ves-
icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever
forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin is
exempt.
1t tortures, 'disfigures and humil-
iates more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep and rest are out of the
question.
Most remedies and the best ply
sicians generally fail, even to relieve.
If CUTlCURA did no more than
cure Eczema, it would be entitled to
the gratitude Of mankind.
1t not only cures but
A single application is often suffl.
cient to afford instant relief, permit
rest and sleep, and point to a speedy
cure.
CUTlCURA works wonders because
it is the most wonderful skin cure OF
modern times.

Most Famous of Unique Clubs.

The most famous of all the unique
clubs is the Thirteen Club, the original
one of the world, founded in this city
eleven years ago this month and on tho
thirteenth day. 1t was organized to
combat superstition of all injurious
kinds and more particularly those super
stitions connected with thirteen per
sons, thirteen persons sitting at table,
and Friday, sixth day of the week, called
"hangman's day 1t started with thr-
teen members, who sat together at din
ncr every month for three months before
one of them died. The Oldest living
member of the original thirteen is over
ninety years of age and hale and hearty.
The club now numbers 1900 members
and they dine thirteen at each table five
times each year, the annual dinner being
held OH the 18th day of January, the an.
nivcrsary of the founding of the club
Singularly, this year the 18th occurred ON
Friday. Through their instrumcntality.
principally, if not entirely, the hanging
day in almost every State has been varied.
so that now it seldom occurs on the sixth,
day of the week, and thus the onus has
been taken from the once considered un-
lucky day.-lNcw York Times.
