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

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
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 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. 1 think his face must
have itched most fearfully.
I'VE finally thought nothing could
help, and l had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ
entity, and we soon saw miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a 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
weeks the child was absolutely we'll
and his skin was smooth and white

mo TROUBLE"
To Change from Coffee to Postum.

Postum has done world of good
for me-" writes an Ills. man.
1--we had indigestion nearly all my
life but never dreamed coffee was the
cause of my trouble until last Spring
1 got SO bad 1 was in misery all the
time.
"a coffee drinker for 80 years, it
irritated my stomach and nerves, yet
Twas just crazy for it. After drinking
III with my meals, l would leave the
N Able, go out and lose my meal and
the coffee too. Then I'd be as hungry
VS. ever.
~ "a friend advised me to quit coffee
and use Postum-said it cured him.
Since taking his advice I retain my
food and get all the good out of it, and
don't have those awful hungry spells.

PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.

The fatted calf never loves the
prodigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe it.
Alas, that fools are prosperous. In
it their penalty or reward?
How many of us in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins?
To think an original thought is to
take step nearer the divine.
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
n When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately.
1t is easier for some people to be-
lieve the impossible than the pos
sible.
Before 1t was thrown down, the
i Golden Calf had son, and it is still
mooing around the world.
1t is self-evident that to success
fully fathom the motives of men one
must be a man himself. To an idiot
to a lunatic-all men are either
idiots or lunatics.

Shows Value of LIQUID Fue1.

The steamship Goidmouth, belong
dng to the Shell line, has just arrived
at Rotterdam, after steaming from
Singapore by the route round the
Cape of Good Hope, distance Of H.
791 miles, in So days, without once
stopping the engines or checking the
generation of steam in the main boil
ers. This performance is believed to
be the largest nonstop run ever made
by marine machinery. The vessel was
burning liquid fuel, and with SO great
an economy that enough surplus is
left to take the vessel 20 days steam.

Close Second to American Tramp.

The American tramp must look out
for his laurels in the matter of steal
Ing rides. A Roumanian recently sue
ceeded in lodging himself on the pipes
underneath dining-car of the Orient
express at Costanza, on the Black
sea, these pipes affording a sort of
shelf about 20 inches wide. He left
his bed in Paris SO hours later. 1t
is remarked that at the end of the
journey he was very dusty, hungry
and thirsty, and possessed capital
amounting to five cents.

BIBLICAL BASEBALL.

A Canton CO., theological student in
terested in baseball wrote thesis on
Baseball Among the Ancients," from
which are CLEANED the following facts:
Abraham made sacrifice.
The Prodigal Son made home run.
Cain made a base hit when he killed
Abel.
David was q great long distance
thrower.
Moses shut out the Egyptians at the
Red sea.
Moses made his first run when he
slew the Egyptian.
The devil was the first coacher. Eve
stole first-Adam stole second.
When Isaac met Rebecca at the well
she was walking with pitcher.
Samson struck out a great many
times when he beat the Philistines.

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness. 1t is usually neces-
sary to use SO much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as 1t can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength than other makes.

The ever-increasing dimensions Of

width at the surface from 1870 feet
to $50 feet. The proposed improve

Mrs L1esIerG1rzy

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge Of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children; it ruins child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often Is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear.
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it Is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
j, The Ills OF women act like frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths Of the nervous prostration, ner-
vous dependency, I" the blues," sleep
lessness, and nervous irritabi1ity Of
women arise from some arrangement
Of the female organism.
Dc you experience fits Of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, SO that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like a ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound ;
pain in the abdominal region, and
between the shoulders; bearing-down
pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compounds; thousands and thou
sands of women can testify to this fact.
