SAVED BABY
LYONS LIFE
Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery Awful Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfantiIe E.
zema- Commenced at Top Of his
Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

"Our baby had that dreadful com:
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
the top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, in TACT,
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable of coping with the case, and
after various experiments of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, w
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to a druggist and got
a full set of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception of a rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by a healthy one.
"Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been u greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that l ever beheld,
prior to the treatment of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926

personally, but it is my candid opinion

Method Adopted at the University Of

CHICAGO, Dec. 7.-Experiments in
teaching the languages by phono-

that this method will be adopted.
The professors are much in favor of
it. Experiments have been made with
French and German and have been
pronounced entirely satisfactory. The
records are numbered to correspond
with the printed lessons.
The method was introduced by cor

such universal favor that colleges and
Universities, which ridiculed the idea
at first, began to consider it seriously.
Acting President Harry Pratt judi

The persistence they showed finally

She coiled her hair on her head.
1t was wavy hair, brown where 1t

The miners face was crimson as he
confronted the sneering newcomer.

gambler" said he, in a growl, you're
making indecent remarks about a

You're squeezed lemon Do you

bar of bullion went, which you gave
to Georgia? Look at that"
He had hardly flashed the small
billet of metal before the miner leaped
upon him. The gambler jumped and
attempted to draw his revolver; but
the hand of Hubbard was there ahead,
and flung it away.
The girl, up to this, had merely
stood there, admiring the gambler.
Now she was darting alertly about the
struggling two, her countenance in
tense with concern.
Then, like bolt from the clearest
