BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with crusts
Hands Pinned Down--Miracu-
Ious Cure by Cuticura.

when my little boy was six months
ed SO quickly over the whole body
that we at once called in the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to a third one. Mat
ters became SO bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put finger into. The food had to
be given with spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid in his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. | think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and / had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed matters came differ
emily, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend Of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found cure
for constipation in children = citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
Some time ago." he writes, II be-
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as a cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, l have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with CON
St1patiOn more or less severe. The re.
suit has been absolute relief in ALL
Il write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better it is thus to bring
about a healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food,
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con-
traction and relaxation of the bower
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
1t is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as it goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs.
Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living
They should grow into bright, strong
cheerful men and women. Grape'Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children's teeth are benefited by
chewing Grape-Nuts, also. Your DENT
list will tell you that a certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, Is
necessary to grow strong, beautilui
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the same
as muscles, if they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intendeu.
Grape-Nuts gives the exercise anu
also gives material from which goou
teeth are made.

Indian Eduaction That Counts.

A0dldIl EQudCt1Ou InaL counts.
The Indian school at Chilocco has
just graduated the largest class In it's
history, and some Of its graduates and
many of its other classes will help the
sugar beet raisers in the vicinity Of
Rocky Ford, Col, during the vacation.
Over $50 of the young Indians are now
engaged In this work in that district.
and will remain there until the crop Is
all gathered. They will be back In the
school In the fall, ready to resume their
studies. t
At Chilocco and many Of the other
government schools the young Indians
get the right sort of education to fit
them for their new role in life. The
education is equally divided between
the books and the workshops. The
boys and girls are taught all that is
impaired in the ordinary grammar
schools of the country, and little
more, In some cases. In addition the
boys are taught to make and repair
harness, to shoe horses, to build
houses, to do farm work of various
sorts, to raise and care for cattle, and
some OF the rest of the things that
need to be done in the average COM
munity In the west or east. The girls
are instructed, by actual practice, in
cooking. baking, laundering, nursing,
sewing and other work suitable to
their sex.
This is the education that counts,
says the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The Chilocco school was in practical
operation at the ST. Louis worlds fair,
and was one of It's most attractive fea-
lures 1t was visited by hundreds of
thousands Of people during the seven
months of the fair. Admiration for its
system and for the intelligence and
good behavior of It's pupils was ex-
pressed on every hand. Superintendent
S. NJ MCGOWAN the head of the school,
was here with it, and won n4gh praise
for the thoroughness and practical
character OF the work of his pupils.
The United States government made
many mistakes in its dealings with the
Indians in the old days, but for the
past quarter of century it has been
on the right track. Chilocco, Carlisle,
Haskell and the rest of the great gov
eminent schools are doing good work
in training the young Indians of both
sexes to help to intelligently bear So
oietys burdens.
