CUTICURA REMEDIES
WORK WONDERS

Mr.. A. G. Barnett, proprietor of a
general store in Award, Oklahoma,
tells in the following grateful letter
how Cuticura cured him and his son
of terrible eczemas:
My little boy had eczema. His
head was one solid sore, all over his
scalp; his hair all came out, and he
suffered very much. / had physician
treat him, but at the end of three
months he was no better. / remem-
bered that the Cuticura Remedies
had cured me, and after giving him
two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent,
according to directions, and using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on him
daily, his eczema left him, his hair
grew again, and neither he nor myself
have had any eczema since.
AS to his own case, Mr.. Barnett says:
90 suffered with eczema, burning,
itching, breaking out on my face for
more than a year. / took treatment
which did no good. | was then
advised to try Cuticura. | took
six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, and
used Cuticura Soap and Ointment
freely every day. l began to improve
soon after starting to use them, and
when l had taken the six bottles of
the Resolvent my face had become
clear, / had good color, and all erup-
tons had left me.
awe use the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment in our family now for

plunge into the shadow of the great wardrobe
behind the bed.

dresses de scattered right and left, the rumpled

CHAPTER VI.
A FIRST LESSON.

Three days had passed. Grandma had been
laid to rest in the little churchyard on the
hillside that morning, and Trix and Tessie
were back in the old home, that seemed so
empty and strange without the dear, famil-
lar form. They had cried until they could
cry no longer; but the heaviest clouds will
break when the storm is spent, and when Lie
came up with a tray of biscuit and cold ham
and cream cake, both little mourners sat up,
with very swollen eyes and crumpled curls,
indeed, but prepared to be comforted.
"Try to eat suthin', Miss Irix. Dar's dat
cream cake nam made specially for you, Miss
Tessie. She'd brung it up herself, an seed
how you was, but she so cut up, pears ez if
she couldn't fairly stir one foot fore t'other.

"Was she talking about us?" asked Trix,
while Tessie,, who had been nibbling at a
biscuit, looked up with sudden alarm
1t just flashed upon her that maybe Aunt
Prue had new right to talk about them, now
that grandma's low, tender voice was silenced
forever.
"Well, it war suthin' bout you," replied
Lie, evasively.
"0h, tell US what it was, Lize!" cried both
