MY son Clyde was almost completely
covered with eczema. Physicians treated
him for nearly year without helping him
any. His head, face, and neck were GOV.
cred with large scabs which he would rub
until they fell of. Then blood and matter
would run out and that would be worse.
Friends coming to see him said that if he
got well he would be disfgured for life.
When 1t seemed as If he could possibly
stand 1t no longer, I used some Cuticura

WILLIAM LOEB, jr.. President Roose-
w velt's secretary, will never forget
one New Year day in his life, although
he has seen many other interesting ones.
Theodore Roosevelt was sworn in as
Governor of New York January 1, 1899,
and on that date Mr. Loeb began his pub
lie career as private secretary. He ad-
mits that he wanted to make good with
the new governor, and he felt some ap-
prehension when Gov. Roosevelt began
to dictate to him in the rapid manner that
is customary with him. Mr.. Loeb showed
that he was good stenographer and
his work that day esta blished him in the
confidence and good will of the man who
later became Vice President and then
President. The fact that the day was
January 1 made no difference to Gov.
Roosevelt. He had plenty of work to do
and he got at it early in the morning
with his new stenographer. Mr.. Loeb
has seen many interesting New Year days

The finest carriage to be had in town was

it, and with it both coachman and foot

correspondents have grown famous in all
