BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave scale. Then 1t would
break out again and II spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over In red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until 1t was on
MS hands and arms. l bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. sent and
got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three DAYS
after using them he began to improve,
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resoivent. two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well. and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. / don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what put

We are the children; neither voice nor

Have we in any counsels of the land.
None need observe us: none need to take
note
OF us. while ever patiently we stand.
But the old banner high above your
head
Which typifies a nations faith and
trust
One day must float as bravely where we
tread
Or in disgrace be trailing in the dust.
We are the children: in the street and
school
Our little lives today are formed and
made;
We have no part with those who guide
and rule,
BY no mere words OF ours are nations
swayed,
Yet this broad land shall some day look
When we have gained our own mature
estate.
Help us be Citizens: for only thus
May any people be entirely great.
We are the children. Shall the grip If
Fitch careless laughter from our eager
lips?
Shall we give up our youth as iabor's
spoil,
AS ponu slaves strive before the
drivers whips?
We charge you. with the hope high in our
hearts
That you shall see the future and its
good,
Shall shield us from the sapplng mills
and marts
And give us sturdy man and woman
hood.
We are the children; small are we to-
day;
We ask but that we keep our childish
For from our little hours OF song and
play
Must grow the mind and will to curse
or bless,
Yet subtly. too. we must give you the
word
That we must hold the structure that
you build.

shields shall grid
Upon us, we have fingers nt and

Exercise.

Pigs whose mothers have plenty OF
range are not going to die from the
thumps, but they are going to be
strong and vigorous growers. 1t is
natural for the pigs to follow their
mother, and 1t is best. She will not
go too fast nor too far for their little
short legs. The pigs will acquire
keen appetites, and build the founda-
ton whereupon to lay pork at a profit.
Feeding heavily and running of flesh
uselessly are not advisable with any
animal, but some exercise is essential
to health in a growing animal and an
absence of health means an absence
of profit.

GOT HIS s0BRIQUET EARLY
Honest John" Kelly Proved His Right

There have been many stories about

wagon full of tinware. The peddler
was detained within by sore thirst,
and they took the tinware. And then
they came back and took the cush-
ions of the wagon. Eventually, be-
coming daring, they unhitched the
wagon and took 1t away. True to my

And by and by the peddler came out
