Awful Sight from thatDreadful Com
plant, Infa,ntile Eczema-Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.
Our baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which aflict-
ed him for several months,
cling at the top Of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer-
ings were untold and constant misery.
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re-
lief. We finally procured a full set of
the Cuticura Remedies. and in about
three or four days he began to show
a brighter spirit and really laughed,
for the first time in a year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been II greatest pleasure. and
there is nothing too good that we could
say in their favor, for they certainly
saved u baby's life. for he was the
most awful sight / ever beheld prior

Didn't Know Wife's Purse.
From the Chicago Tribune.

In response to an advertisement
printed in a local paper two women
called on J. H. Noble. a grocer of Oak
Park, yesterday and claimed a pocket
book which had been found in his store.
Before the grocer had time to solve the
puzzling problem his wife entered the
store and seized the purse. exclaim-
ing.
why, that's mine. Where did you
get it?"
The Two other women left the store
without further argument.

after this before you try to give my
money away" Mrs. Noble said to her
husband. You ought to know your
wife's pocketbook."

Girls Now Ride Astrids.

From tho New York Telegram.
One visit to the riding academies In
the vicinity OF F~orty-ninth street and
a walk along the bride paths OF Gem
trail park will convince the casual OBJ
server that riding astride has been
generally adopted In New York. par
ticularly for young girls. Riding in
structors all have very definite notions
on the subject ard their ideas have
prevailed so that today nine out OF
ten young women seen riding in b
park use the regulation cross saddle
formerly used only by men.
persons, even the most conservative,
notice the difference or see in the new
fashion anything savoring of nwom-
anliness. The divided skirts are made
so full that they fall naturally on Ell
Their side of the saddle and ciothe the
limbs in quite as modest a manner
as though CARRIED for the street.
In speaking of the cross saddle rid
ing one Of the instructors said: 1T
is the most natural manner of riding
and to perch the body sidewise in the
old fashioned way is simply a relic
of barbarism. In the former method
there is perfect n harmonious devel-
opment of the muscles, while in the
latter there is always the tendency Of
the rider growing one-sided from the
unnatural position, and as p result a
Shrinking CT the muscles az n side
and overdevelopment on lhe opposite
side Of the body.
I'VE have some difficulty with par
ents al first in bringing them to our
way of thinking. but ono they see the
matter in the right light there is no
more opposition and they are as de-
lighted as their children. The danger
of horseback riding is reduced to a
minimum in riding astride, for if the
horse SHES there is much less danger
of being u%nseated, and I believe the
Measure of the sport is increased ma
terially in having this danger elimi-
mated"
