AWFUL EFFECT OF ECZEMA.
Covered with Yellow Sores-GreW
Worse-Parents Discouraged-Cu-
ticura Drove Sores Away.

"Our little girl, one year and a
half old, was taken with eczema or
that was what the doctor called 1t.
We called in the family doctor, and
he gave some tablets and said she
would be all right in few days.
The eczema grew worse and we
called in doctor No. 2. He said she
was teething, as soon as the teeth
were through she would be all right
But she still grew worse. Doctor
No. 9 said it was eczema. BY this
time she was nothing but a yellow,
greenish sore. Well, he said he could
help her, so we let him try it about
q week. One morning we discovered
q little yellow pimple on one OF
her eyes. OF course we 'phoned for
doctor No. 8. He came over and
looked her over, and said that he
could not do anything more for
her, that we had better take her
to some eye specialist, since it was
an ulcer. So we went to Oswego to
doctor No. 4, and he said the eye
sight was gone, but that he could
help it. We thought we would try
doctor No. S. Well, that proved the
same, only he charged $40 more than
doctor No. 4. We were nearly dis
couraged. l saw one Of the Cuti.
cura advertisements in the paper and
thought we would try the Cuticura
Treatment, so I went and purchased
q set of Cuticura Remedies, which
cost me 81, and in three days our
daughter, who had been sick about
eight months, showed great improve
ment, and in one week all sores had
disappeared. or course it could not
restore the eyesight, but If we had
used Cuticura in time l am confident
that it would have saved the eye. We
think there is no remedy so good for
any skin trouble or impurity OF the
blood as Cuticura. Mr.. and Mrs. Frank

Life Without Mind.

The possibility Of life without mind,
while not subject to positive proof is
theory that has gained considerable
strength recently through its advocacy
by DIR. l.. Laloy, librarian Of the
Academy of Sciences, Paris. He be-
lieves that many of the smaller living
organisms, such as insects, are mere
moving machines, having no more in.
telligence than may be ascribed to
plants. He refers to the we'll known
fact that insects are attracted by light.
often to their own destruction, and as
cribes it to the same cause that In.
clines the plant to grow toward the
light. ...-,....,-..

1t was in the days Of old when
knights were bold and dressed in

her daily task, wilt thou not help
me with my skeins?"
"By the tower of London-no!
roared George, as he sharpened his
lance. You haven't spinning
wheel for a husband"
Two hours later George returned
from the fray with his armor bat
tered and torn.
Dearest Priscilla" he said, soft
ly, wilt thou not put few patches
on my dress suit?"

sweetly. you haven't blacksmith
