Having a Picnic.

There is something particularly enjoy.
able about going to a picnic. The very word
Picnic brings pleasant anticipations of a
good time. The idea of going ont to the
woods and fields or down by some brook
or lake, with luncheon to be served on the
grass and under the trees, has a peculiar
fascination. The fresh air and exercise con-
tribute to give hearty appetite to all and
everything at luncheon seems far better
than the finest course dinner that a French
chef ever served. Wooden dishes supplant
Dresden china, and paper boxes silver
trays, when the good things to eat" are
spread upon the ground.
Pic-Nics are never complete without the
sandwiches, sweet white bread with a gen.
erous layer of meat between. Libby's
canned meats are ideal for pic-nics and
outings. The cans are SO easily opened,
and the contents so fresh and palatable,
that no picnic is a success without Libby's
Natural Flavor" Food Products.

Every child born into the
world with an inherited or
early developed tendency to
torturing, disfguring humors
of the Skin and Scalp, becomes
an object of the most tender
solicitude, not only because OF
its suffering, but because of the
dreadful fear that the disfgu-
ration is to be lifelong and mar
its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the
duty of mothers of such afAict-
ed children to acquaint them
selves with the best, the
purest, and most effective
treatment available, viz: the
CUTICURA Treatment, con-
sisting of warm baths with
CUTICURA Soap, and gentle
anointings with CUTICURA
Ointment, the great'Skin Cure.
