driven home from a preaching en-

local preachers to various places in the

SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

MY mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema. and for 1t had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt. why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much In debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
OF seventy-four.
MY own case was an eczema In my
feet. As soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.

But let dyspepsia OF indigestion get

an operation" writes Michigan lady,
my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
"At times my appetite was vora.

was an effort and prescribed exercise
was out of the question.
II had seen Grape-Nuts advertised,
but did not believe what I read at the
time. At last when 1t seemed as If

Grape-Nuts.

q tall young man in green hat stepped

So saying, I started off again-a
hideous wooden dog led by tall young
woman in a black suit-that was all.
But it was quite enough. This time
we had chosen the womans cocktail
route on Powell street and sauntered
along quietly awaiting results. This,
however, proved an unfair advantage to
take of these well dressed, well
groomed women, walking in twos and
threes for the most part as steadily as
you please. Suddenly. ''Oh, you darI-
