TINY BABYS PITIFUL CASE

"Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimpies. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the IN
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tpied several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. Un.
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is fine
picture of fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura ONT
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer-
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-
mann, st. Johns Place, Ridgewood

Mr.. Henry was the man who

preferred liberty, though. If he
couldn't have liberty. he wanted to
die, but he was in no great rush
about it, He would like liberty if
there was plenty of it.; but if the
British had no liberty to spare. he
yearned for death. When the
tyrant asked him what style of
death he wanted. he said that ho
would rather die If extreme cid

GREAT DAMAGE BY
AN ALFALFA PEST

Great damage wrought by a
weevil, which attacks alfalfa and
which has been confined so far
principally to Utah, is causing
officials of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington to make
plans for fight. This crusade
probably will be the most important
work, according to D. C. Howard,
chief of the bureau, which he and
his assistants will have on hand
next season. :.
AS alfalfa is such an important
crop in many of the States west of
the first tier beyond the Mississippi,
Government officials are anxious to
find some means of DISCRIMINATING
the weevil. Unlike the cotton
weevil, the alfalfa pest does its
work on the outside of the plant,
attacking the leaves and stalk.
I'VE will try to introduce a
fungus parasite and also "a
predaceous mite to fight the
waevil ;" said DR.. F. M. Webster,
who is actively in charge of such
Investigations for the bureau.
Whether the former can be
made to live in the dry farming
districts where alfalfa is grown is
a question, but it can be introduced
in the humid territory and thus
keep the weevil from spread ny
thereto"
