Cuticura Soon Cured His Eczema.

AN itching humor covered both my
hands and got up over my wrists and
even up to the elbows. The itching
and burning were terrible. My hands
got all scaly and when scratched, the
surface would be covered with bis
tiers and then get raw. The eczema
got SO bad that I could not move my
thumbs without deep cracks appearing.
I went to my doctor, but his medicine
could only stop the itching. At night
I suffered SO fearfully that could not
sleep. could not bear to touch my
hands with water This went on for
three months and I was fairly worn
out. At last I got the Cuticura Rene

every person who is an element in the
growth of any business should know
as much or as little of it as his duties
require. Business and bookkeeping
are inseparable. From the technical

need occupy the attention of every
person-to the broader question of
business is but a step, and it is the

The Earth and the Moon,

That the earth must shine on the
moon even as the moon shines on the
earth is obvious. To detect this light
from the earth on the lunar surface
and scientifically prove it's existence
is another matter. 1t is interesting to
find that recent number of French
astronomical paper contains two pho
tographs of parts of the moon illum-
mated by earth light. They were
taken by M. Quenisset at the Juvisy
observatory.

When the southerner was re-
