According to a statement before a
meeting of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society OF the Presbytery of
Washington an interesting statement
regarding the money spent for chew
ing gum and that given to charity was
made. The speaker was Miss Mary
w. Kerr of Harrisburg. Pa, in connec-
ton with the topic of "Frenzied FL
nance in Missions" In urging the so
ciety to be more liberal in its contri-
buttons to charitable work, she said:
For every $4,000 contributed to
charity. $4,000 is spent for chewing
gum"

DIsFIeuRED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples. his lit
tie face was disfigured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like.
The face looked like raw meat. We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
1--WE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every ore who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised He has a
head of hair which is pride for any
boy Of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. II.
