EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER
From Terrible Eczema-5aby's Head
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by Cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead OF
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old.
then l had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old / started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months our baby was different
girl. You could not see a sign of a
sore and she was as fair as a new
born baby. She has not had a sign OF
the eczema since. Mrs. H. F. Budke,

Character in Walking.

Walking is almost as common as
breathing, eating and sleeping, yet
there are many people who do not
know how to walk. Some loiter along
with half-dead, half-aliye air, while
others nadly rush as if but moment
of tima was theirs.
Now. there is much character In a
walk; II should embody energy, ambl-
-tion and enterprise and at the same
time grace and dignity.
To walk for health certain prepara-
tions should be made. In cold wealth
er the clothing should be warm but
not heavy. The clothing should be
loose, for a tight garment restricts
circulation. The skirt should be short
and tina shoes should be low-heeled,
wide AID thick soled.
Deep breathing goes handin-hand
with walking, and it is O. good habit
to breathe rhythmically, counting the

a Timely ar.

During one of the political tours OF
Mr.. Cleveland, in which he was ac-
companied by Secretary Olney, he ar
rived during a severe storm at town
In which he was to speak. AS he en-
tered the carriage with his friends
and was driven from the station the
rain changed to hail, and immense
stones battered and ratified against
the vehicle A brass band, rather de-
moralized by the storm, stuck bravely
to its post and played.
"That is the most realistic music
have ever heard" remarked the presi-
dent.
"What are they playing?" asked the
secretary of state.
"Hail to the Chief'-with real hall"
reioined Mr.. Cleveland.

"THE PALE GIRL"
Did Not Know Coffee Was the Cause.

In cold weather some people think
a cup of hot coffee good to help keep
warm. So it is-for a short time but
the ug-caffeine-acts on the heart
to weaken the circulation and the re-
action is to cause more chilliness.
There is a hot wholesome drink
which a Oak girl found after a time,
makes the blood warm and the heart
strong.
She says:
Having lived for five years in N.
Oak, | have used considerable coffee
owing to the cold climate. AS re-
suit / had a dull headache regularly,
suffered from indigestion, and had no
life in me.
II was known as the pale girl and

After time / had heart trouble and
became very nervous, never knew
what it was to be real well. Took med
icine but it never seemed to do any
good.
"Since being married my husband
and I both have thought coffee was
harming us and we would quit, only to
begin again, although we felt it was
the same as poison to us.
"Then we got some Postum. Well,
the effect was really wonderful. My
complexion is clear now, headache
gone, and I have great deal OF en-
ergy / had never known while drink
ing coffee.
ct haven't been troubled with indf-
gestion since using Postum, am not
nervous, and need no medicine. We
