DEPTH of Great Lakes.

Lake Superior's greatest depth Is
1908 feet, Michigan's 1854, Huron's
$40, Fries 204, Ontario's 1873. The
bottom of Superior is 401 feet below
sea level, of Michigan 2S3, of Ontario
491 feet. The bottom of Huron is
eleven feet above sea level, that of
Erie 500 feet. Ontario, the smallest
of the great lakes, is relatively the
deepest. If these bodies of water
could be drained the basin of Ontario
would present striking contours as
compared with the basins Of the
much larger lakes.

ECZEMA COVERED BABY.
Worst Case Doctors Ever Saw-Suf'
fered Untold Misery Perfect
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.

my son, who is now twenty-five years
of age, when four months old began to
have eczema on his face, spreading quite
rapidly until he was nearly covered. The
eczema was something terrible, and the
doctors said it was the worst case they ever
saw. At times his whole body and face
were covered, all but his feet. I used many
kinds of patent medicines to no avail. At
last l decided to try Cuticura, when my boy
was three years and four months old, hav-
ing had eczema all that time and suffering
untold misery. l began to use all three
of the Cuticura Remedies. He was better
in two months; in six months he was well.
