ECZEMA DISFIGURED BABY

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but q few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where We resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child'6 face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head Of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age. three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

Importance of Diversified Farming.

Washington, D. C.-President Fin
ley, of the Southern Railway Company,
in recent address at the Black Soil
Belt Fair at Demopolis, Alabama, laid
great stress upon the Importance of
diversified farming as enabling the
cotton planter to market his crop to
better advantage. Speaking of this
subject, Mr.. Finley said.
"The cotton grower who diversifies
his farming, at least to the extent of
rendering himself independent Of out
side sources of supply for all Of the
grain, fruits, vegetables. meats, and
dairy products consumed on his farm,
is enabled to market his cotton when
there is an economic demand for it.
He Is not compelled to sell regardless
Of market conditions, as has so often
been the case, under the necessity of
meeting obligations incurred for food
stuffs and other necessaries of life by
reason Of failure to produce them on
the farm. The cotton farmer is, of
course, IN stlll more advantageous
position If he carries diversifcation to
the extent of having something be.
sides cotton for sale. 1t is particular
ly desirable that the farmer should
have steady source of income
throughout the year The local demand
throughout the South for dairy pro-
ducts, poultry and eggs is such as to
enable the farmer who produces
surplus of these commodities to have
a weekly income throughout the year
sufficient to meet his bills with local
merchants and regular income, such
as this, even though the amount re-
ceived per week may be small, will go
far in assisting him to market his cot
ton when there is an economic demand

TODO PUBLIC HEALTH WORK
lie a Great Personal Sacrifice to Ae-

Raleigh-In response to a letter to
the physicians of the state, hundreds
of signed pledges to do concreted pub
lie health work are now being received
at the Office of the State Board Of
Health. 1t has long been realized that
1t remained for the doctors to give
real life and impulse to this move
ment, but heretofore 1t has been diff
ficult to find a suitable plan for such
concerted work.
While all physicians recognize the
crying need and importance of such
work, many hesitated to take an &C.
tive part in it, because they felt that
some shOrt-sighted or INSCRIPTIONS
person might say they were trying to
court popular favor in their COM
munity or doing personal advertising.
The real magninimity of such work
is only seen when we realize that the
doctor receives his fees for curing
diseases, and that to prevent diseases
by voluntarily teaching sanitation and
hygiene, not only returns no revenues,
but by decreasing diseases it directly
decreases the doctors source of in
come.
The present plan, briefly stated, has
been to secure from approximately
one-fourth of the medical profession

considered a reasonable service that
each physician should render to his
community in the interest of its gen.
eral health From these many diff

average physician to be a reasonable
service to be expected from each ply
