SAVED BABY LYONS LIFE.
Awful Sight From That Dreadful Com
plant, I%nfantile Eczema-Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies,

Our baby had that dreadful complaint,
Infantile Eczema, which afflicted MIN for
several months, commencing at the top OF
his head, and at last covering his whole
body. His sutferings were untold and con.
slant misery, in fact, there was nothing
we would not have done to have given him
relief. 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 our greatest
pleasure, and there is nothing too good
that we could say in their favor, for they
certainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that l ever be
held prior to the treatment of the Cuti
cura Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1926

coat from top to toe!
IL took the whole tube Of Veronese green

beginning now TO feel the loss of his sleep,
released her, and went back up stairs to bed.
Two or three hours later his peaceful slunr
bers we're disturbed by cries, lamentations and
sounds as of an excited crowd of people out
side.
He rushed to the window and looked out.
The peasants and village people of Josserond
were gathered around the house, evidently in
a state of extreme agitation.
Despair and CONSERVATION were on every
face, and some of the old women were wailing
bitterly.
In the midst of the crowd was the Veronese-
green chicken!
She was making considerable outcry her
SELF and whichever way she turned she was
frightened back by pointing fingers and by
renewed exclamations Of terror.
Puzzled and alarmed at the extraordinary
commotion which his work had caused, Gus
tave hastened down stairs, and made inquiries
of the people of the house.
They told him of legend of the country in
which a green chicken figured with dreful
prominence. Her appearance foreshadowed
all sorts of misfortune-failure of crops fire
and flood, and epidemic.
Well might the superstitious people be
horror-stricken at the apparition.
Meanwhile one of the poor, foolish women
in the courtyard was seized with a hysterical
attack at the sight of the ill-omened bird, and
threatened to 60 into commissions.
Conscience-stricken Gustave now made a
clean breast of his part in the matter, confess

chick in hues which nature had never intended
she should wear

HE LITTLE ALSATIAN ARTIST

MED him on many tour of road inspection
among the mountains and interior villages OF
the province.
One day, Just as the father and son were
about setting out on one Of these rural jour.
neys, the young artist received from a kind
relative most memorable present. It was
box Of oil colors-the first he had ever pos
sessed.
Only an artist born can appreciate the wild
thrill and intoxication of delight which filed
the soul Of Gustave at the sight Of the tubes
of color, the clean palette and the long, slen-
der brushes. As he was just starting on the
excursion with his father, however, he could
only take his prize along with him, untried.
At nightfall they arrived in the little coun-
try commune of Josserond, where they put up
at an inn. 1t was supper time, and then bed
time, but poor Gustave could neither eat nor
sleep. He was dying to paint.
Placing his precious box under his pillow,
he tossed about restlessly all night, with the
colors of the rainbow dancing about before
his excited imagination.
At the earliest glimmer of dawn he sprang
into the courtyard The brightness of the
pigments, as he squeezed them from the tubes,
one by one, upon his palette, caused him to
utter ordinations of delight.
Vandyke brown, Venetian rcd, ultramarine
blue crimson lake, cadmium yellow-oh, what
richness; what reveries of color they inspiredl
Above all, there was pure, exquisite Veron-
csc green, as vivid as the tint of the tender
meadow grass by the brookside in the early
springtimel
But the eager young painter had forgotten
one essential; he had neither canvas nor
bit of glass, upon which to paint. The rough
cardboard, not even panel of wood nor a
stone walls of the inn would not do, either
here was an insupportable dilemma
None of the inmates of the house were vet
stirring, but the chickens were pecking and
scratching about the courtyard in search of
the early worm. A gaunt, half-grown bird
with dirty-white plumage, looked up inquir-
ingly at the artist. A sudden inspiration
seized him.
