As the shades of evening crept over the
sky and brought out, one by one. the
cold, clear-eut stars, the words of a
Christmas carol Aoated through the doors
of the little Sykeston church and settled,
like so many spirits of peace, over the
quiet village.
A man, Keeling through the semi dark

Little Bessie Johnson went to school

Eczema
All Her Life.

Mr.. E. D. jenkins, of Lithonia, Ca,
says that his daughter, Ida, inherited a
severe case of Eczema, which the usual
mercury and potash remedies failed to
relieve. Year by year she was treated
with various medicines, external appli-
cations and internal remedies, without
result. Her sufferings were intense,
and her condition grew steadily worse.
