CHILDREN TORTURED.
Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by cutieura.

Last year, after having my little
sician for an obstinate case of &C.
zema, l resorted to the Cuticura Rem
edies, and was so well pleased with
the almost instantaneous relief afford
ed that we discarded the physicians S
prescription and relied entirely on
the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint-
ment. and Cuticura Pills. When we
commenced with the Cuticura Rene
dies her feet and limbs were covered
with running sores. In about six
weeks we had her completely well,
and there has been no recurrence Of
the trouble.
IN July OF this year a little boy
in our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty
four hours his hands and arms were
a mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, washing
his hands and arms with the Cuticura
Soap, and amounting them with the
Cuticura Ointment. and then gave
him the Cuticura Resolvent. In
about three weeks his hands AMI
arms healed up. So we have lots of
cause for feeling grateful for the Gu
ticura Remedies. We find that the
Cuticura Remedies are valuable

Proof Of Merit.

The proof of the merits of a plaster
Is the cures it effects. and the volun-
tary testimonials Of those who have
used Allcock's Plasters during the
past sixty years is unimpeachable
evidence of their superiority and
should convince the most skeptical.
Self-praise is no recommendation, but
certificates from those who have used
them are.
Allcock's are the original and m
uine porous plasters and have never
been equaled by those who have
sought to trade upon their reputation
by making plasters with holes in
them. Avoid substitutes as you would
counterfeit money.

TT is, unfortunately. inevitable that
every pleasure must have its com
Il pensating trouble or Inconvenience.
So, in these hot and sticky Au
gust days the maiden who amuses her
self by imagining that she is mer-
maid. while she dispOrts herself in the
ocean for an hour or go IN the morning,
wishes most heartily for an hour after
that she were a mermaid indeed, and
might simply slip back into the water,
give her hair a hurried combing-with
the proverbaI land imposslble) golden
comb of Heine's Lorelei-and thus con-
slider her toilet complete
But the mere fact that all the toll OF
washing and drying her hair lies be
fore her does not deter her from the
finest Of summer pleasures. She by
no means agrees with the man who
committed suicide because he was tired
of dressing and undressing: she would
rather find a way TO make dressing
and undressing less tedious, And 50
she seeks a method by which the con
sequent irksome labor may be light
ened. and listens eagerly to all advice
on the subject. In this article she
will find the help she needs.
In the first place, before going into
the water the hair should be arranged
so that II will not be hard to loosen
when It is sticky with salt. Coil II

it not be too tightly nor too deliberately

But woe TO the woman who attempts
this during a sea bath!
Not only viii the usual publicity at

the salt in the water will form a thick
crust over the soap. and viii combine
with Il in sucn a way as to make her

The best thing for the ocean bather TO
do is 20 wait for the washing until after

let it nave the full benefit of the shower
bath which she takes to remove the salt
from her bathing suit, but she should
fhen tie II lIp securely. and after she IS
dressed she should don a kimOnO and
remove all the surplus salt by a cold
spraying with a regular BATH spray. she
should let this water be as cold as can
be borne. and should continue the treat
ment until the scalp tngles.
Then she should wrap the head tightly
in a dry Turkish towel, and should twist
the nair in IT. squeezing hard until all
the water has been extracted that Is
possible I'm this way. When this has
been done. she should begin rubbing the
SCALP and hair with the towel, using a
fresh one If the other has become really
wet. and should continue until the halr
feels only damp and does not drip any
where.
Once this Is done, the hardest part Of
the drying still remains. Needless TO
say. the quick and easy patent heat dry
ers are not popular in midsummer. for
whatever be their other virtues, they
are most uncomfOrtably not. Tanning
is. then, the best method.
There are some persons whom the
continuous flap of the fan drives almost
wild with nervousness, but they have
yet to learn the lesson that if the fan
does not touch the face or nair, but
simply blows the air on them, no dis
