lTCHED so COULD NOT SLEEP

Il suffered from the early part of
December until nearly the beginning
of March with severe skin eruptions
on my face and scalp. At first l
treated it as a trivial matter. But
after having used CASTLE soap, medi-
Gated washrags, cold cream, vanish
ing cream, ETC., / found no relief what
ever. After that l diagnosed my case
as eczema, because of its dry, scaly
appearance. The itching and burning
OF my scalp became so intense that |
thought l should go mad, having not
slept regularly for months past, only
at intervals, waking up now and then
because of the burning and itching of
my skin. Having read different tes-
timonials Of cures by the Cuticura
Remedies, decided to purchase a box
of Cuticura Ointment and a cake Of
Cuticura Soap. After using them for
few days l recognized a marked
change in my condition. l bought
about two boxes of Cuticura Ointment
and five cakes Of Cutlcura Soap in all,
and after a few days l was entirely
free from the itching and burning
My eczema was entirely cured, all
due to using Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment daily. Hereafter l will never
be without cake of Cuticura Soap on
my washstand. I highly recommend
the Cuticura Remedies to anyone suf.
fering from similar skin eruptions and
hope you will publish my letter so
that others may learn of Cuticura
Remedies and be cured" (Signed)

New York was talking about the re-

"kidnapers." he said. ARE apt TO

too unpopular. Why. kidnaper is as
unpopular as a widower.
Widows, now. are very attractive,
but about a widower there is always
something uneanny, something almost

matrimonial point of view.

of marrying again. He thought he'd

Tn. Child and social Reform
2OO7 2d Avenue

From the North American Review.
 The main point now is that the home IS the first important element In the environ ment of the child, and therefore the crea- ton of good homes demands the thought and endeavor of all who would work eff fectively to stop the waste of life and to moralize human society. It is said sometimes that the mother makes the home and that the primary need Is or good mothers. This is true, but It IS not the whole truth. American homes are suffering today because of lack or sood fathers Many fathers have abdicated their privilege and abandoned their duty as fathers. They leave the entire re- sponsibility for the care of the home and the training of children to the moth CTS However willing the mothers may De to assume the responsibility, they can not supply the lack of the masculine ele- ment in the administration of the home. Children need the father as certainly If not as continuously as they need the mother. Mother" said a child in a su- burban home of New York. "who Is that man that comes here to stay over Sun days? I don't like him, and I wish he would stay away" The man was the childs father and the supposed head or that family. If there Is truth in Pro lessor Munsterberg's criticism Of Ameri- can schools because of a deficiency Of the masculine element in the teaching force, there is more poignant truth in the criticism of some foreign observers nota- bly, English. that there is a deficiency Of the paternal influence in American homes.
