KEEP BABY'S SKIN CLEAR

Few parents realize how many es-
Unable lives have been embittered
and social and business success pre-
vented by serious skin affections
which 80 often result from the neglect
of minor eruptions in infancy and
childhood. With but little care and
the use of the proper emollients, baby's
skin and hair may be preserved, puri-
fed and beautifled. minor eruptions
prevented from becoming chronic and
torturing, disfiguring rashes, itchings,
irritations and chafings dispelled.
To this end, nothing is SO pure, so
sweet, SO speedily effective as the con-
stant use of Cuticura Soap, assisted,
when necessary, by Cuticura Ointment.

intermittent liquor question present to
serve for an explanation as the cleo

however, also is present and that
makes the state contest this year of
more than ordinary interest.
