NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT

my little son, a 10y of FIVE, broke
out with an itching rash. Three doc
tors prescribed for him, but he kept
getting worse until we could not dress
him any more. They finally advised
me to try a certain medical college,
but It's treatment did no good. At
the time / was induced to try Cuti-
cura he was SO bad that | had to cut
his hair off and put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on him on bandages, as it was
impossible to touch him with the bare
hand. There was not one square inch
of skin on his whole body that was
not affected. He was one a of
sores. The bandages used to stick to
his skin and in removing them it used
to take the skin OF with them, and
the screams from the poor child were
heartbreaking. l began to think that
he would never get we1, but after the
second application of Cuticura Oint-
ment I began to see signs of improve
ment, and with the third and fourth
applications the sores commenced to
dry up. His skin peeled of twenty
times, but it finally yielded to the
treatment. Now I can say that he is
entirely cured, and a stronger. and
healthier boy you v saw than he
is to-day, twelve years or more since
the cure was effected. Robert Wattam,

or typhoid fever germs on 1t.
Swapping gum, swapping apples
and swapping candy are about the
dirtiest things-and the most danger

be that dirty.
Keep your hands clean. Soap Is
your good friend-dirt is your worst
enemy.
Eat very little ~candy-treat your
stomach we'll and you'll live longer.
Never buy candy or fruit at an
open stand on the street. Flies have
left all kinds of dirt OF 1t and dirt
from the streets has been blown upon
it.
when you play, play out of doors
but never play in dusty places.

squirrels near his home and brought
them to Glen Ridge. He distributed
them over the trees, and the combat
at once began. The red squirrel robs
nests and eats both old and young
birds, and the attacks of these little
tree climbers on the sparrows could be
plainly heard by the householders.
When the squirrels were placed on the
trees the birds had to fight for their
lives or get away. The eyes were
picked out of several squirrels before
the birds gave up and moved.
