when child, suffered eight
years with eczema. / could not sleep
at night. and had sores all over my
chest We had doctors and none
could do any good, until my mother
saw the advertisement Of the Cuti-
cura Remedies in the paper. We used
the Cuticura Soap, Ointment and
Resolvent, and they cured me Of
eczema. / also used them on my five
children. Two of them had eczema
very badly. When my children had
eczema, was not worried at all, as
I knew the Cuticura Remedies would
do their work. They had sores all
over their heads. their hair would fall
out, and they would scratch all night
and day. They had it on their heads,
face, and in back of the ears so that I
thought their ears would drop of. I
washed their heads and bodies with
Cuticura Soap and they are as clean
as the driven snow. Cuticura Soap
and Ointment also cured my children
of ringworm. / would not be without

Georgia, charged with the theft of
some chickens. The negro had the
misfortune to be defended by young

than the potato, which the dasheer threatens to supplant in popular favor The dasheen is a tuber, a native of the far east. It is known as the aroid.
 In the Hawaiian Islands dasheen is known as taro, from which is prepared a food known as poi. In Cuba the dasheen is dished up under the food name of malanga. Experiments are being made in several parts of the United States with dasheen, or taro, and it is being found very prolific and very easy to raise. It grows in low. mashy ground
 According to a writer in Good Health the taro or dasheen root may be used either boiled or baked and may be dried and ground into flour. The composition Of taro is probably the same as that of the familiar potato, and those who have eaten dasheen declare that they prefer it to the potato.
 It is also worth noting that while the potato is or should be white, the taro can be dished up in a great variety of flavors and colors. Some are pink, others red, others bluish and some are yellow. Food experts are inclined to think that dasheen is destined to be a valuable addition to the bill of fare, even if it falls to take the place of the potato altogether.
