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
him any more. They finally advised
me to try q certain medical college,
but Its treatment did no good. At
the time l was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that | had to cut
bis hair off n put the Cuticura ONT
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 hat was
not affected. He was one mass of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
t. take the skin off with them. and
FShe screams from the poor child were
h~eartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get we'll. but after the
second application of Cuticura ONT
ment l 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 I 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.

MANS WORD MUST BE KEPT
Essential Of Business Life Is to Have
the Confidence of Your
Associates.

A man word is his stock in trade,
n it cannot be broken without in
Turing his commercial standing. Many
good men grow careless of their word
and fail to see the importance Of keep
ing It until they have suffered some
serious consequence. There are those
whose word is said to be as good AS
their bond Whether 1t is Or not,
their word must be good, for the world
is not easily deceived about such mat
tiers.
Keeping ones word is more often a
matter Of habit than character. Good
men, with the best OF intentions.
ITO a promise. a statement Of an en-
gagement, and while no harm is
meant, it might as we'll be. for one
canno h~abitually break his word
without losing his caste as a man OF
his word" Nothing is more essential
In business life as the element of con-
6dence, and confidence, after all, rests
entirely upon ones are in doing what
he says he will do. This matter Of
personal Integrity cuts a larger figure
In business than We are sometimes
willing to admit. 1t is one of the de-
mands that business makes Of men to
fulfill their words. Let business learn
to distrust a mans reliability as to his
word, and it Will sOon discount his
liability as a business man.-Omaha
