hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
atttls bags OF cloth over his hands to
preVent.hfH1 from scratching. He waa
very restless at night, his little face
Stched.
We consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where We resided at that time,
After trying all the medicine Of the

read OF the Cuticura Remedies and
at once hsught C%uticura Soap and
'stintmenf- Following the directions
carefully aEfai promptly we saw the
result, and after -four weeks, the dear
face was as fine and clean as
ANY little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura

Windows open.

There are open window theor-
lists everywhere. Leave them open
and you'll dismiss, the doctors. You
will not have any of 1.-THE aches or
pains that flesh is heir to- the
theorists say. Maybe so sometimes,
but not always. The following good
one en- theorists" is timely Win
ter is here. The mercury was down
below zero the other day. There
will be many zero days during the
next three months, but leave your
windows open. Get the fresh air
and while you are getting it you
may get something else.
Once upon time a citizen COM
planned to physician that he was
troubled with feeling of lassitude
on arising in the morning, ami af-
ter half an hour spent in deep re
fection the healer CT men replied:
"AlthoUgh it is winter, / think
you suffer from the want of fresh
air in the house. Go home and open
your cellar windows and let the
ozone sweep through the house at
it's wild pleasure"
But the thermometer stands be-
low zero" protested the citizen.
So do you. Let her stand. Leave
the windows open all night. That
lassitude will be gone when you get
UP in the morning.
The citizen did as directed. and
at six O'Clock next morning the cook
was horne from earth away by the
explosion of the Kitchen range.
Four busted water pipes also went
into the cascade business with un-
qualified success and two Children
were .overhauled to find that their
toes were frost bitten. Five days
later, when the plumber had pre-
scented his bill and received the long
green. he entered the Office of the
physician and said:
Twenty per cent Of 500 is S13.

One who sees newspaper only

the curious and often funny errors
that are caught by the proofreader.
With the advent of the wonderful

errors of other days have been
eliminated. Copy is more carefully
edited, more competent men are at
the machines and fewer errors are
made.

Fate scowls when she sees
A grownup on his knees.

Full Of unexplored lodes,
Why, the freckled-back toads
