PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHlNG

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with 1t, 1t came in
little w~atery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days 1t would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
81 consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which lie said came from her teething.
I used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then l
wrote for a book on C~uticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment at the drug store. I did as !
found directions in the Cuticura Book.
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment.

One Cure for Sarcasm.

Bunsen always was sarcastic.
One evening last week when he got
home his wife had a new hat to show
him. 1t was some hat. Anybody
could have seen that it was the final
phrase in female headgear.
But Bunsen started to make re-
marks He said Il looked as il it had
been trimmed by a cross-eyed milliner
on an empty stomach. And he made
a lot of other ~disparaging remarks.
Mrs. Bunsen was almost in tears.
|Bunsen had to go into the other room
to have a quiet laugh at her expense.
The next day he had forgotten all
iabout the hat.

fof it. Mrs. Bunsen handed him a bill

Isabel, after Henry had read the type

Henry, figuring III something in a

Mexico a smoker,s paradisa.

Old Mexico has advantage In the
shape OF cheap tobacco. The leaf grows
freely in the republic of the south, and
its government leyies no q upon IL.
For 2b cents in American or United
States money you can buy an excellent
cigar, every whit as good as our 1O-cent
brand. And cigarets are the same way.
To protect the domestic production the
Mexican tax on imported tobacco IS al
together prohibitiye. American cigars
in that country are so high no one
thinks OF buying them.
AT Nogales, a border town. there Is
an international street, one side or
which is in Arizona and the other i'm
Sonora, North Mexico. On the south
side OF the street a tobacco store sells
an excellent cigar of a certain brand
for s cents. Across the street. On the
American side, the identical brand OF
cigar is exposed for sale at Is cents.
To bring the Mexican cigar across the
narrow street and make a profit. the
American dealer must sell the Mexican
product at three times its original
value.

emptton OF native tobacco In Mexico.

the other a Presbyterian. Finally
one Of them called a neighbor who
was passing and asked his opinion as
to which was the better church in
which to be saved. Well, neighbor,
he said, son and I have been hauling
wheat for nearly forty years. There

In spite of her economical tendencies,

Into which Henry bundled ner at the
door of the hotel.

How to Find Fault.

Find fault, when you must find
fault, in private; and some time
after the offense, rather than at the
time. The blamed are less inclined to
resist when they are blamed without
witnesses; both parties are calmer
and the accused party is struck with
the forbearance Of the accuser, who
has seen the fault and watched for a
private and propert time for mention

go on shore daily in the neighbour

tribes in that region will resent the
presence OF armed Germans proving

Iislons may occur" The fear is well

that when he heard this he gave

and found his metal leaked" He or
dered dry oak wood and fired the fur
mace fercely, working in rain that
was falling, stirred the channels and
saved his metal. He continues the
story thus: AFTER all was over l turn

The Bird Table.

In the old countries OF Europe the
bird table may still be seen in the
rural districts. A bird table is made
by driving short stake into the
ground and firmly mailing a shallow
wooden box on top OF it The box
generally measures two by three feet
and has a number Of holes in the
bottom to drain it of rain or snow
water. 1t is always high enough to
be beyond reach of any cat that might
try to leap to it from the ground Care
also is taken to select alspot far enough
from fences. trees or buildings to pre-
vent cats from bouncing down on it
when the birds are feeding Into the
bird table 60 scraps from the house
table and kitchen, pieces of stale
bread and cake. strips of fat meat,
potato parings, carrot ends. bits of
any kind of table green's. apple skins
and cores and cabbage leaves. All
kinds Of nonmigratory birds come
to feed at the bird table, and many a
song bird has been saved by it from
starvation when deep snow has COW
cred the ground and seed grasses. An
English naturalist counted twenty
seven species of birds at the bird table
in his garden In single morning
after heavy fall Of snow.
