SAVED OLD LADY's HAIR

my mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it 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 it 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.
Then l thought ! would fee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and

my stomach and nerves began to give
me much trouble.
AT times my appetite was vora-

nourish me and grew weaker than
ever.

his long and carefully trimmed white
locks. standing with or sitting beside
some ragged and unkempt victim Of

Why Do They.

Why women like the baldheaded
man 1t is somewhat difficult to define.
It may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind. ..s ,-..
Trustworthy and confldihg. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
Of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property.
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when 1t
comes to him. as It is a sign Of se-
dateness and dignified learning, which
Invariably increases his practise.
