Mr.. Fellner is sort of fussy about

The clerk showed the box in the

Two little girls residing in East
Eighty-sixth street, Virginia Clough
and Claire Feldman, who had long
envied their boy playmates for their
ability to enjoy such badness as is in
herent in boys, resolved to be bad
themselves. To this end they shut
themselves up in Virginias room and
proceeded to be naughty. In fact,
they practiced swearing-just to see
what would happen.
When they were quite sure that
none would overhear them each pro
duced a slip of paper containing the
swear word and fired away.

DIsFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags Of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where we resided at that time.
After trying all tie medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cutictra Remedies, and
at once bought cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was al fine and clean as
any little baby's fase. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
