CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

II can't tell IN words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for it
cured my baby of itching, torturing
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing on her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
so badly behind her ear that really
thought her ear would come off. For
months I doctored it but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her in dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, so
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then I got box of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was marked improvement. In
all used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box of Cuticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not
scar on her. I can not praise Cuti-
cura enough, I can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, / have a well child" (Sign-

Temples of Babylon

The Deutsche Orient-GeselIschaft gives an
interesting account of the past years excava-
ton work in three different parts of Babylon
In the town quarter known as Kasr were
laid bare several hundred meters of wall
about So feet thick, broken by numerous door
openings which were originally 1anked by
towers. The most interesting find here was
coffin of burned clay on the lid of which was
a relief of a bearded head.
Near the north wall of the quarter known
as Sachn was discovered a system of drains,
built of brick laid in asphalt. Here were also
found several fragments of tablets with cuni-
form inscriptions from the time of Nebuchad-
nezzar. This discovery enabled the excava-
tors to complete fragmentary tablets discover
ed some time before.
The legend proved to refer to the building
of the Zigurrat, the temple tower of Babylon.
The beginning reads follows: 'Nebuchad-
nezzar, king of Babylon, reverer of the great

Richmond for safe keeping and came near

vague sort of way that something ought to be
done and they finally hit upon the plan of sew
ing together the severed sections of each sheet.

prominent men interested in all existing me-
mentoes Of George Washington heard what
