BABY'S WATERY ECZEMA.
Itched and Scratched Until Blood Ran
$50 Spent on Useless Treatments
Disease Seemed lncurable.
Cured by cutieura for $3.50.

when my little boy was two and q
half months old he broke out on both
cheeks with eczema 1t was the itchy,
watery kind and we had to keep his
little hands wrapped up all the time,
and If he would happen to get them
uncovered he would claw his face till
the blood streamed down on his cloth
ing. We called in a physician at once,
but he gave an ointment which was so
severe that my babe would scream
when it was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. ] was SO worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading of
the good results of the Cuticura Rem
edies, I determined to try them I
can truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for I bought only a dollar
and halfs worth of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills), and they did more good than
all my doctors medicines had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. His
face is perfectly clear of the least
spot OF scar of anything. Mrs. w. M.

Latest Kansas Events.
Two School Lana decisions.

Judge Lobdel has rendered two i'm
portant decisions in school land cases.
In one he held that all school land
leases made in regular form, were
valid, Notwithstanding the opinion of
Attorney General Jackson to the con-
trary. Last fall the attorney general
held that all school land leases were
void and outside people Immediately
settled on all leased land for Tile pur-
pose of proving up homesteads- Now,
Judge Lobdell says the lease holders
are entitled to the land, and that the
settlers must get off, or settle subject
to the lease In another case the judge
held that the state could not sell school
land to minors The law says that
the land can be sold to ANY person"
Judge Lobdel1 interpreted ANY per-
SON. to mean any one of age. He de-
clared that minors could not make a
valid contract, even with the state.

In an article published in the

great medical authority on
foods, says, about brain and

There is one kind of food
that seems to me of marked
value as food to the brain and
to the whole body throughout
childhood and adolescence
(youth), and that is oatmeal.
'Oats are the most nutritious
of all the cereals, being richer
in fats, organic phosphorus and
lecithins."
He says oatmeal is gaining
ground with the welI-to-do of
Great Britain. He speaks of it
as the mainstay of the Scottish

The highest medical authority
on foods,
Sir James Crichton Browne, L. D.-F. r. S.
of London,
gives the best reasons for eating
Quaker Scotch Oats

duces a big-boned, we'll devel-
oped, mentally energetic race.
His experiments prove that
good oatmeal such as Quaker
Scotch Oats not only furnishes
the best food for the human be-
ing, but eating it strengthens
and enlarges the thyroid gland
this gland is intimately con-
nected with the nourishing pro-
cesses of the body.
In conclusion he says
1t seems probable therefore
that the bulk and brawniness Of
the Northerners (meaning the
SCOTCH has been in some measure
due to the stimulation of the
thyroid gland by oatmeal por-
ridge in childhood.
The Scotch eat Quaker Scotch
Oats because it is the best of
all oatmeals.
