Lives Embittered
By Skin Troubles

Many estimable lives have been en-
FILTERED by skin affections, due, in most
cases, to neglect in infancy and child
hood. Delicate skins readily become
irritated and severe eruptions develop.
Then treatment after treatment is
tried and found wanting until life be-
comes a nightmare of torture and dis
figurement, imposing fearful handi-
cap in the race for business or social
advancement. Yet this physical and
mental suffering might have been
avoided or mitigated by timely use
Of Cuticura soap and ointment.

ed by half dozen urchins who had
hold OF wire, one end of which they
had thrown over the trolley feed wire.
-Persuading the child that they were
playing a game. they induced her to
take hold Of the wire. She did so and
instantly fell screaming to the ground
while blue flames shot around her head
and body.
Attracted by her cries neignbors ran to
her aid, but the boys, fearful that they
had caused the girls death, had Ned and
