A missionary, during Lenten tea,
said, pointedly:
Il have established missionary trees
all over the country. But perhaps you
don't know what missionary tree Is?
A missionary tree is one whose profit
goes entirely to missions.
"A Roxborough farmer has in his ap
pie orchard golden pippin tree that
helps to support the Chinese mission
A Florida woman has an orange tree
that helps to uplift the cannibals Of
New Guinea. A California nut farmer
devotes walnut tree to the spread of
the faith In Zanzibar.
Missionary trees" the speaker end
ed. ARE very good things, but the
principle that underlies them need not
be confined to farms and farmers"

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN
In his power.

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch SO that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. l had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
"He was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. I
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for long while.
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put, on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was 80 soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad was he felt better. 1t took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake Of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and shall always remain a firm
friend Of them. There has been no
return of the trouble. I shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.
c. Maitland, Jasper, Ontario, May a.,

an organism untitled for the trial Of
strength, and when the strain is over
her system has received a shock from
which it is hard to recover. Follow
ing right upon this comes the nervous
strain of caring for the child, and a
distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother Of chill
dren, and indeed childbirth under right
conditions need be no hazard to health
or beauty. The unexplainable thing is
that, with all the evidence of shattered
nerves and broken health resulting
from an unprepared condition, women
will persist in going blindly to the trial.
1t isn't as though the experience
came upon them unawares. They have
ample time in which to prepare, but
they, for the most part, trust to chance
and pay the penalty.
In many homes once childless there
are now children because of the fact
that Lydia e. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound makes women normal,
healthy, and strong.
Any woman who would like
special advice in regard to this
matter is cordially invited to
write to Mrs. Pinkham at Lynn,
Mass. Her letter will be held in
strict confidence
