BABY WASTED TO SKELETON

"My little son, when about a year
and half old, began to have sores
come out on his face. 1 had physi-
clan treat him, but the sores grew
worse. Then they began to come out
on his arms, then on other parts of
his body, and then one came on his
chest, worse thar the others. Then I
called another physician. Still he
grew worse At the end of about a
year and half of suffering he grew
so bad that had to tie his hands in
cloths at night to keep him from
scratching the sores and tearing the
flesh. He got to be mere skeleton,
and was hardly able to walk.
my aunt advised me to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment. I
sent to drug store and got cake of
Cuticura Soap and box of the Oint-
ment and followed directions. At the
end of two months the sores were all
well. He has never had any sores
of any kind since. can sincerely say
that only for Cuticura my child would
have died. I used only one cake of
Cuticura Soap and about three boxes
of Ointment.
II am a nurse and my profession
brings me into many different fam
lilies and it is always pleasure for
me to tell my story and recommend
Cuticura Remedies. Mrs. Egbert Shell

20 farmers cat the proper sort u food :
The farmer Of today buys 4 much
larger proportion OF the food that goes
on the table than he did ten years ago.
It's good thing that this is SO, because
he has a great variety to select from.
He should, however. use great care in
selecting for the best results in health
and strength.
The widespread tendency in the city
to increase the amount of Quaker
Scotch Oats eaten is due very largely
to the recent demonstrations by scien-
tific men that the Quaker Scotch Oats
fed man is the man with greatest
physical endurance and greatest men
tai vigor
Farmers should give this subject
careful thought and should increase
the quantity of Quaker Scotch Oats
eaten by themselves, their children
and the farm hands.

Theoretically sealed tins for hot

No woman should submit to surgi-

mony to the wonderful virtue of Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t cures female ills, and ereates radi-

From the standpoint of an old-fash-
toned woman it would seem that the women
of today have grown a little away from the
simplicity of the styles of so years ago
And yet l should hesitate to say that they
have developed spirit of immodesty.
Life itself has changed in the last so
years. 1t has become more rapid, more
intense, more free in every way. 1t is
natural that dress-the expression of an
individual in a very decided way-should
change, too.
Modesty, however, is but a comparative
term What would seem modest now
