BABY's HAIR ALL CAME OUT

bumps. They would dry up and leave

again and it spread all over his head.

and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles of Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and we'll, and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over

Veteran swings soythe at Ninety and
Explains How He Harvested
Grain seventy-Five Years
Ago at Dekalb.

Chicago.-F'rom the shadows of the
past came reapers of so and 20 years
ago to the Henry Whltmore farm the
other day. near DeKalb. and in the
role of harvesters pitted themselves
against the marvellous machinery of
modern times
More than 1000, many of whom came
in automobiles, watched the men har-
vesting grain in as many ways as have
been contrived since agricultural pur-
suits have been followed on the Ameri-
can continent. There was the old
fashioned cradle, the sickle and
scythe. the early-day reaper and the
modern binder. It was panoramic
history of one of the most important
phases OF the industrial life Of America.

OF Sycamore, swung his cradle for five
minutes as he was wont to do three
quarters Of a century ago. And as he
out his last swath, he leaned on the
handle Of his cradle and laughed at
the incongruity of the picture pre-
scented.
Looks silly, doesn't it?" he asked of
the cheering spectators. Times have
certainly changed since I began har-

In the world than since | first began

Among the reapers were G. w. and
w. w. Marsh, two brothers, who have
lived more than the allotted three
score years and ten. and who are
credited with being the first to have
conceived the idea OF the reaper Their
first machine was brought forth and
cut q swath around the ten-acre field.
AS crude as 1t seemed to the throng
of spectators. It was marvel COM
pared to the cradle which they had
used for years before they brought
the reaper into being.
Il am glad to have lived to see this
day." said the elder of the Marsh
brothers. Farming today is not what
1t was when we were boys. Look at

to the physicians who had been In
terested in the case. They proclaim

fully RECEIVERS his strength. his speech
would be as good as ever. They also
believe that frequent attacks of insan-

operation was performed In the hos

found that his skull was fractured.
He remained In the hospital about six
