BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.
Face and Body-Tore at Flesh
Cured by Cuticura.

MY little son; when about year
and a half old began to have sores
come out on his face. They began to
come on his arms, then on other parts
of his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse than the others. At the
end of about year and a half of sui
fering he grew so bad had to tie his
hands in cloths at night to keep him
from scratching the sores and tearing
the flesh. He got to be mere skele-
ton and was hardly able to walk. I
sent to the drug store and got a cake
of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura
Ointment, and at the end of about two
months the sores were all well. He
has never had any sores of any kind
since, and only for the Cuticura Rem
edies my precious child would have
died from these terrible sores. I used
only one cake of Soap and about three
boxes of Ointment. Mrs. Egbert Shell

SH:UN ...lH|O0 boo DESK
CLERKS At WASHINGTON ARE
SUPERsTITIOUS.
No One Cares to Work at Places
That Seem Marked Out for Mis-
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Post
an Example.

A series of misfOrtunes involving
dismlssals, designations and deaths
in the executive departments in
Washington: often develops what is
known as the 'thoodoo DESK" says the
Washington Post.
A desk comes under suspicion after
dismissal Of two from the service
or after several transfers or resigna-
lions, and if there should occur sew
era1 deaths among the occupants Of
the desk in the course of a year or
two it is designated as the hoodooed
desk, and no one in that room cares
to do clerical work at it. In room
filled with clerks the hoodoo desk is
easily recognized, for it is most gen.
orally occupied with the surplus
books and general litter of the daily
routine work.
The desk may remain unoccupied
sometimes for months, until some
new clerk comes into the room and
is assigned to it, provided there is
no other vacant desk in the room.
Bureau officials generally avoid as
signing a new clerk to the hoodoo
desk if it can be done. In fact, the
desk is apt to remain wit bout an &C.
cupant until radical changes In the
personnel of the Office cause it's repu-
tation to be forgotten.
In one department there is hoodoo
desk from which four clerks have
died in the last two years, two have
resigned, one has been dismissed and
three have been transferred. There
fore, no one cares to occupy it now
A $1,000 clerk said several days ago,
in a half'hearted way, that he would
move from his present room and try
it for awhile If they would promote
him to $1,000. He said afterward,
however, that he was merely joking.
But there are other hoodoos in
Washington. Some years ago a door.
keepers post in the war department
building came under the ban and it
was a source OF considerable annoy.
ahce to the officials.
At this particular door the first mis-
fortune was death, the second dis
.missal, the third holder of the post
lost his wife by death and finally fell
and broke a limb, and the fourth ap-
pointee in succession lost a child and
then resigned. This resignation kept
the place vacant for a time, as no
one could be induced to take it, The
place had to be filled by calling on
the civilservice commission for some
one from the outside.
Perhaps the most conspicuous case
OF a hoodoo desk in any one of the
Washington executive departments
was that In which succession of
misfortunes came to private secre-
taries Of one of the assistant secre-
taries. Several deaths and other mis-.
fortunes made the place dreaded.

less to Use.

This is known, as "Blood-Cleanlng
Time" especially among the older
folks, who always take something dur
ing this month to clean the blood of
impurities and build it up.
The following is the recipe as given
by well-known authority, and any
one can prepare it at home:
Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half
ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce,
Compound Syrup S%rsaparil1a three
ounces.
Get these simple ingredients from
any good pharmacy and mix by shak-
ing we'll in bottle. The dose is one
teaspoonful after meals and at bed
time.
t. Everybody should take something to
help the blood, which becomes impov-
erished and almost sour after the win
ter season, especially those who are
subject to rheumatism, Catarrh, Kid
ney and Bladder trouble.
1t is said that one weeks use of this
mixture will clear the skin of sores,
pimples or boils.
This is sound, healthy advice, which
will be appreciated by many readers.
