NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

MY little son, a boy of five, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress

me to try certain medical college,
but its treatment did no good. At
the time / was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
OF skin on his whole body that wac
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them 1t used
to take the skin off with them, and
the screams from the poor child we're
heartbreaking. | began to think that
he would never get wen, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment | began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled off twenty
times, but 1t finally yielded to the
treatment. Now can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger and
healthier boy you never saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

TRUTH TELLING is A VICE

is why women are more forceful than
men,"
There are 999 truths told to every
one lie in politics." said DR.. Barnes.
"The truth generally is told in trade
and politics. That 800 truths are
told to every one lie in politics may
seem doubtful. The trouble is that
the one lie stands out so plainly that
truthful statements are doubted.
Truthtelling is now vice and not a
virtue. People doubt the truth when
It is told to them, and believe that
most everything they hear is false.
hood"
DR.. Barnes said that the moral con.
dition of children should be graded in
schools just as the subjects Of read.
ing and writing are graded.
Taking up the child at the age OF
13 or IA, he said, there then was a
broadening of disposition and nature.
He declared that children in a state
Of transition are not the same today
as they were yesterday.
DR.. Barnes drew illustrations show
ing the cunningness required to head
of the child that is prone to tell lies.
He believes many do so unwittingly
The problem is how to manage them
and to show them right from wrong.
It requires tact. And after tact has
been pursued. after the youngster has
been headed off. the thing to do is TO
see that the child takes a step toward
righteousness.

Beau Says United States More

Worlds Most Famous cotlIllon Leader

Paris, FTance.-M. Fouquieres, who

States and England are now more

up France as a model in matters of
etiquette. The noted society leader
has issued stirring appeal to Paris
lans In which he describes the decline

useful quality and urges his fellow
citizens to regain their reputation for
good manners as they are recovering
in aeronautics their reputation for
heroism.
"Politeness is disappearing" de-
ciared M. Fouquieres. ut must be ad.
mitted that we are no longer the most
courteous people In the world. The
politeness which was formerly a ma.
tonal virtue. and the former gallantry
which always characterized French
men are today neglected, ridiculed
and almost despised.
Look at our young folk. They are
formal, stiff, Indifferent and disdain-
ful; their movements are identical
and bombastic like a funeral ballet.

which 1t is cain to criticise. for it is

Foreigners trusting to our reputa-

find themselves inspected insolently
when they venture into public places.
Women do not escape sly. gay looks
and vulgar murmurings and whoever
makes malicious jokes at their ex-
pense is applauded with the laugh of
