BABY'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in a doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three of the best doctors in Atchison
but he only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep we'll from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept US awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally I got q set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and I m pleased to say
we did not use all Of them until he
was cured. We have waited a year
and a half to see If it would return
but it never has and to-day his skin
IS clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. I hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pocket-books. John Leason,

The benches in the waiting rooms

used for other purposes than to rest

the maids clean out the rooms. They
do not forget to poke under the
benches for stray bundles left by trust
ing travellers. .
Sometimes, after, intervals, the trav-

Some time ago a red cap at the depot

ATCHISOM'S ORDER OF SPINS
Unmarried, and Contented Withal,
They Have Mapped Out for
Themselves a Pious City.

There was called a meeting Of the
Ancient Order Of Spins last evening,
and papers we're read on every sub
ject, from removing grease from car
pets to the sad memories that attach
to a bunch of old letters. The Spins
were having a hilarious time when a
visiting Spin got up to make a few re.
marks. She said that, while they are
happy now, there was a sad time COM
ing. Think of the day" she said,
when, having no husbands or chill
dren, you will be all alone" There
was a sniff and then a snort as Spin
after Spin recalled wives and mothers
who are alone from daylight till dark,
except when some member Of the fam
lily wants waiting on. The smiling
and snorting increased in volume as
Spin after Spin told Of her freedom
from worry, her independence in f.
nancial matters and the joy Of doing
as she pleased. But we must not
take offense at what our sister las
said" one Spin remarked. Let US
show our good intentions by calling
on every lonesome wife and mother
we know" This was six weeks ago,
and though the Spins have devo ID
every afternoon and evening since to
this missionary work, they haven't
made half the rounds yet.-Atchison
