CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUM0R

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard Of. My mother had a child
who had q rash on its head when 1t
was real young. Doctor called 1t baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but 1t did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass. a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. . box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar Of Cuticura soaps We gave
the Resolvent as directed. washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema. and
1t has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head Of hair. think the Cuti.
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.

ment are sold everywhere. = sample

A warning against the dangers Of
dust was issued recently by the Ma
tionaf Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis, in which
1t is shown that the percentage of
deaths caused by tuberculosis in dusty

employed men in the registration area
Of the United States. While among
males generally in the registration
area of the United States 14.5 per
cent. of all deaths are from consump-
tion the mortality among grinders
from this disease is 492 per cent, and
in hardly any of the dusty trades is 1t

those exposed to metallic dust is 36.9
per cent; to mineral dust, 286 per
cent; to vegetable fibre dust. 2S.s per

ADVICE TO FISHERMEN
IN USING FLIES

In speaking of the use of dry and

let us leave live bait-worms, min
nows, grass-hoppers, and the like-en.
tirely out of the discussion, for the!
are the recourse of butcher rath
er than an angler.
He says:-use your wet flies, to
begin with, for the ripples and rap
ids, and your dry ones for the still
deep pools. 1t will mean spending
much of your time adjusting and re-
adjusting leaders and flies as you
sit on some fallen log or protruding
rock-probably almost as much time
as you spend in casting; but the
true lover Of brook fishing should
consider the artizanship OF his ca
az fascinating as the process OF
throwing his line or playing the
trout.
1t is a field Of unbsunded inter.
est and variety-this manipulation
Of one's tackle between pools and
rapids, this combining OF different

Take Boy Scouts OF America
to Sea,

to Sea.
Sea Scouting for boys as a means
of arousing greater interest among
Americans in the merchant marine
is advocated strongly by A. G. Carey
Secretary of the Waltbam Watch Co
Of Waltham, Mass, and a great en-
thusiast in the Boy Scout movement
He intends to take Boy Scouts to
sea this summer, and with that aim
in view he has bought a Gloucest. r
fishing smack of about 80 tons gross
He is having this vessel con-
verified into Scout ship. Mr.. Car
ey is hopeful that other men in
terested in the Boy Scout work will
take up sea scouting. He is am
bilious to have a fleet of scout ships
along the Atlantic coast and an
other along the Pacific.
Mr.. Carey looks upon sea scout
ing as of Importance to Americans,
and believes that if American boys
| can be aroused to an interest in the
sea, there will be greater chance
for the development of our merchant
marine. Aside from that phase how
ever, he thinks that his scout ship,
| called the Pioneer" will provide
plenty Of fun and hopeful training
for the boys.
