BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
with little bumps They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes OF ointment, gave him blood
medicine. and had two doctors to treat
hiSl. but he got worse all the time. He
had 1t about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. l sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box OF
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps 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 well. and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
II have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what I put
them on. I think Cuticura is n great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

Modern Life Molding FaC.s Into
Hawk Type.
Facial Resemblance OF Race and Her

Compared to That Made by
Social Conditions.

Los Angeles. Cal-There is an en-
tirely new type OF face being created
through the mode OF present-day
American life. according 70 Major
Paul Won Rautenberg Gerozynski
well known writer on the manners and
customs OF the countries of the world.
Irrespective OF race origin and other
hereditary mediums of facial resem'
blance, the faces OF Americans are be-
coming more and more alike. says the
major. His knowledge Is CLEANED
from frequent tours Of the globe, years
spent among different races to study
their characteristics and a thorough
grounding OF medical knowledge and
anatomy
The facial resemblance Of race and
heredtty will become as nothing COM
pared to that made by remarkable
social conditions" said the major.
In few centuries the American man
and woman win have the features OF
tho American Indian, with a few sub
tie changes brought about by higher
mental development.
The hawklike face Of the first
Americans was developed by constant
anxiety over the uncertainties of ex.
btence. The visage was characterized
by tension-a rigidity which not
only affected the muscles but nodded
the bone. That tension-that hawk
Ike appearance-is once more becom-
ing characteristic of the faces OF
American men and women.
After other races came to America
faces OF all types and formations We're
found. There was no similarity.
Every nationality brought some dis
tincuve feature TO America. Those
distinctive features are blending more
and more every year.
THE blended features Of nearly all

endeavor is sinking deep beneath the

The American Indian was charac-
terized by a high cheek bone, a prom
inent brow, narrow, solid chin.
These marks were the result Of cen
turtles Of scanning vast areas with
eyes half-closed, brows puckered, jaws
firmly set.
Once more the American lives his
life with the same half-closed eyes.

He picked the little bird up, intending
to care for it until 1t should be able
to fly.

nest in the top of the tree and swooped
down On him It lit on his shoulder
and tried to tear his face with its beak
