Girls Suffered with Itching Eczema Baby Had Tender Skin, Too
 Relied on Cuticura Remedies.

Some years ago my three little girls had very bad form of eczema Itching eruptions formed on the backs of their heads which were simply cov cred I tried almost everything, but failed. Then my mother recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I washed my children's heads with Cuticura Soap and then applied the wonderful oint- ment, Cuticura. l did this four or five times and 1 can say that they have been entirely cured. I have another baby who is so plump that the folds of skin on his neck were broken and even bled. I used Cuticura Soap and Cuti- cura Ointment and the next morning the trouble had disappeared. Mme.

The minister had dropped in to tea, and the conversation had drifted through various channels to the ques- tion of whether or not we should know each other in heaven. Presuming that our physical beings would be perpetu- ated, and that recognition would be as sured, the minister had asked various ones at the table among whom the Bib lical characters they would be most interested in recognizing
 Some mentioned one prophet and some another, but one lady, noted for her social exclusiveness, had not spoken. Turning to her the minister said: And who would you like to meet ill heaven, Mrs. Intheswim?'
 Mrs. Intheswim pursed her lips. 'I really don't know she said, but there is one thing do know, and that is that l shouldn't care to meet Eve In fact, I don't know that l would speak to her if l did,"
