ECZEMA BROKE OUT on BABY

When my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. 1 noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as coal of fire [ did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as
1t 1tched, and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One
day I saw in the paper the ADVERTISE
ment of the Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, SO | got them and
tried them at once. My babys face
was as a cake of sores.
when l first used the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, [ could
see a difference. In color it was red

baby was in a terrible condition. |

Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin is now pretty

for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap

Ace of Oysters.

Oysters grow only during the sum-
mer and especially during the long,
warm summers at that, and are scarce
ly big enough for the mouth before
the third year. It Is easy after look
ing over bunch Of shells to tell how
old an oyster is. A summer hump and
the winter sink come across the shell
every year, but after the seventh or
tenth year full growth comes; then, by
looking at the sinks between the
humps it is hard to tell anything
more about Miss Oysters age. Oysters
live to be 20 years old.

Miss Cynthia finally reached the door

Miss Selma Lue pol1ed her head

FEED YOUNG GIRLS

Great care should be taken at the
critical period when the young girl is

diet shall contain that which is up
building and nothing harmful.
At that age the structure Is being
formed and if formed of a healthy,
sturdy character, health and happiness
will follow; on the other hand un-
healthy cells may be built in and a
sick condition slowly supervene which,
If not checked. may ripen into a
chronic condition and cause lifelong
suffering
