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

when my little boy was two and .
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 II 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 1t was put on. We changed
doctors and medicine until we had
spent fifty dollars or more and baby
was getting worse. I was so worn out
watching and caring for him night and
day that I almost felt sure the disease
was incurable. But finally reading OF
the good results of the Cuticura Rem.
edies, I determined to try them.
a truthfully say I was more than
surprised, for I bought only a dollar
and a half's worth Of the Cuticura
Remedies (Cuticura Soap, Ointment
and Pills., and they did more good than
all my doctors medicines I had tried,
and in fact entirely cured him. His

Stamping Out Opium Smoking.

From Honan, China, a c%orrespon.
cent write: Most of the opium
planted in the autumn was destroyed
and the land was put under wheat.
The officials say that when the plant
has bloomed out they will make an
other search and If any poppy is found
the land that grows it will become of.
fetal land. The shops for selling the
drug are now limited. No one is al
lowed to smoke except at home. While
I was staying at an inn the official OF
the place, in making his round of the
inns to see If any lawless fellows were
lodged there, saw a man smoking in
the room where l was and at once
forced him to blow out his lamp. But
almost as soon as the official was gone
the smoker began again. At one OF
these towns the official is an opium
smoker. He has signed the pledge
that he has given up the practice, but
at the same time the report is abroad
that he has man kerosene oil cans
full of the stuff stored away for his
own use. While this is true, he is
pressing the work of making others
stop and not many days ago he put
the wooden collar on six men for ter
days because they had been found
smoking"

SAVING PAINT MONEY
II Cannot Be Done by Using Cheap
Material and Cheap Painters.

In arranging for painting, a good
many property-owners try to save
money by employing the painter who
offers to do the job cheapest-or try
to save money by insisting on a low

what must be taken into considera-
ton in order to get a job that will
wear and give thorough satisfaction.

Wonderful Longevity.

One of the most curious instances
of longevity is found in Miss Louisa
Courtenay's "Notes on an Octogena-
rian." A witness in a will case in
which Bellenden.Ker, the great Eng
fish conveyancer, was engaged, was
asked If he had any brothers or sis.
tiers. He replied that he had had one
brother who died $50 years ago. The
court expressed i%ncredulity, and docu-
mentary evidence was produced in
support Of the statement. This showed
that the witness father, who married
first at the age of 10, had a son who
died in infancy. The father married
again at the age of rs, and had a son
who lived to appear in the witness box
at the age Of "a, and made the above
startling statement.
