Untold Suffering and Constant
Misery-AwfuI Sight From that
Dreadful Complaint, lnfantile E.

Head and Covered Entire Body.
MOTHER PRAISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

HOuF baby had that dreadful COM
plant, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted
him for several months, commencing at
tho top of his head, and at last covering
his whole body. His sufferings were
untold and constant misery, In fact.
there was nothing we would not have
done to have given him relief. The
family doctor seemed to be wholly
incapable Of coping with the case, and
after various experiments Of his, which
resulted in no benefit to the child, we
sent to Macon, ILL.,, to a druggist and got
q full set Of the Cuticura Remedies and
applied as per directions, and he began
to improve Immediately, and in about
three or four days began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in year. I'm about ninety
days he was fully recovered, with the
exception Of rough skin, which is
gradually disappearing, and eventually
will be replaced by q healthy one.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies
has always been our greatest pleasure,
and there IL nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they GER
tainly saved our baby's life, for he was
the most awful sight that ever beheld,
prior to the treatment Of the Cuticura
Remedies. Mrs. Maebelle Lyon, 1925

How Lincoln Looked.

For many years it has been the fashion
to call Mr.. Lincoln homely. He was
very tall and very thin. His eyes were
deep sunken and bis skin of sallow

nor awkward, nor ugly His large fea.
lures fitted his large frame, and his
large hands and feetswere but right on
q body that measured six feet four
inches. His was sad and thoughtful
face, and from boybood he had carried
load Of care. II is small wonder that
when alone Of absorbed in thought the
face should take on deep lines. the
eyes appear as ii seeing something be-
/ You'd the vision OF other men, and the
shoulders stoop, as though they, too,
were bearing a weight But in mo-
inent all would be changed. The deep
eyes could fash, or twinkle merrily with
humor, or look out from under overhang-
ing brows as they did upon the Five
Points children in kindliest gentleness.
So, too, in public speaking. When his
tall body rose to its full height, with
head thrown back, and his face trans.
figured with the fire and earnestness Of
his thought, he would answer Douglas
IN the heat of debate, carrying his ideas
so far out over listening crowds. And
later during the years Of war. when
he pronounced with noble gravity the
words Of his famous addresses. not one
in the throngs that heard him could
truly say that he was other than a
handsome man.
IT has been the fashion. too, to say
that he was slovenly, and careless in
his dress. This also is mistake. His
clothes could not tit smoothly on his
gaunt and bony frame. He was no
tallors figure of q man; but from the
first he clothed himself as well as his
means allowed, and in the fashion Of
the time and place. In reading the
grotesque stories of his boyhood, Of the
