TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and 1t came off. Un-
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-

CHICKEN RACES.
The Ridiculous "Hen Derby" Insti-
tuted by Sir John Ashley.

1t is said that the browning triumph
Of Sir John Ashley, that inventor of
absurd contests, whose forte it was to
arrange races between animals which
nature apparently had made most IN
suitable for the purpose, was the in
stitution Of the only races that ever
took place between chickens.
The story is that the idea came TO
Sir John during visit to a friend who
kept large number of hens. He no
ticed how rapidly the chickens used to
scurry to their mother when food was
thrown to her This furnished the in
genious Sir John with a clever notion,
and at mess. he then being quartered
at Windsor, he accordingly unfolded
TO his brother officers his plans for
great chicken race.
He bought from farmer a hen and
a brood of chickens. Each officer was
to choose a chicken and mark 1t with
a ribbon. so that he could easily recog-
nize it, The chickens were to be placed
about fifty yards away from their
mother, and whichever of them reached
her first In answer TO her cackle when
food was thrown to her was to be adj
judged the winner.
And so this ridiculous hen Derby"
came Off in the barracks at Windsor
and was Witnessed by nearly the whole
brigade of guards. who Travelled down
from London especially to see it.
The race was such a success that 1t
was arranged TO repeat 1t tie follow
ing week. 1t might possibly have be-
come a regular institution and rae
ing stable OF chickens might have been
added to the attractions at Windsor
had not Sir .Iobn's chicken won on
each occasion with such ease as to
cause suspicion ia the minds Of his
competitors. Indeed, it was found, It
is said. that in both races Sir John had
selected = sturdy YOUNG cockerel who
was much too speedy Cor his sisters
When victory was a certainty for one
particular competitor the contest, of
course, lost interest, and so the chicken
races ut Windsor came to Il sudden
end.-New York Herald.
