"ECZEMA ITCHED so BADLY
COULDN'T STAND IT."

ct suffered with eczema on my neck
for about six months, beginning by lit
tie pimples breaking out. l kept
scratching till the blood came. 1t kept
getting worse, couldn't sleep nights
any more. 1t kept itching for about a
month, then / went to a doctor and
got some liquid to take. 1t seemed
as if l was going to get better. Tho
itching stopped for about three days,
but when it started again, was even
worse than before. The eczema itched
so badly couldn't stand 1t any more.
81 went to q doctor and he gave me
some medicine, but didn't do any good.
We have been having Cuticura REM
edies in the house, so l decided to try
them. l had been using Cuticura
Soap, so 1 got me a box Of Cuticura
Ointment, and washed off the affected
part with Cuticura Soap three times q
day, and then put the Cuticura ONT
ment on. The first day put it on, it
relieved me Of itching so l could sleep
then l could see the scab come off, l
kept the treatment up for three weeks.
and my eczema was cured.
"My brother got his face burned
with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The people all
thought he would have scars, but you
can't see that he ever had his face
burned. 1t was simply awful to look
at before the Cuticura Remedies
(Soap and Ointmen) cured it."

SOUTH SEA WAVES

We all remember with what fire.
quency in the old narratives of expert.
ences in the South Seas reference is
made to the heavy swells of the ocean,
which impressed the navigators with
the idea of their remoteness from
land. The great size of the set waves
in high southern ATTITUDES has been
explained by the fact that south OF
the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn
there is neither windward nor leeward
shore, and the prevailing wind in all
longitudes is westerly. Thus when a
west wind springs up it finds long
westerly swell, the effect OF previ'
Gus wind. still running. The newborn
wind increases the steepness OF this
swell and so forms majestic storm
waves which sometimes attain
length of 1900 feet from crest to
crest. The average height attained
by sea waves in feet is about half the
velocity Of the wind in miles an hour.

Easter in History.

Easter is one of the oldest Chris
tian festivals and, commemorating
the central fact of the Christian
faith, has always been celebrated
with joy. 1t was originally fes-
tival to the Tutonic goddess of
Spring, Ostera or Eastra. The
Saxons kept the festival and when
later as Christians, they kept the
"Pasch" in memory of the great
Paschal Lamb, they called it by
the same name, Easter, as it came
in the same season of the year as
their former heathen Festival.
In Ireland they have a legend
that the sun dances on Easter
morning. The peasants set a tub
of water out of doors the night be-
fore and rise before the break of
day to see the sun dance in the
water. In olden times eggs were
distributed from the churches; they
were regarded as symbols of the
Resurrection. In Europe in an
cient days, in connection with re-
hgious ceremonies it was custom
airy to celebrate the day by deeds
of mercy-granting liberty to
captives, freedom to the slave and
pardon to the criminal.
At the present day Catholic and
Protestant join in keeping the great
feast of our Lords resurrection
with a seemly, holy, reverent joy.
Appropriately it comes when all
nature is rejoicing in it's own
resurrection. 1t is the "time of the
singing of birds. Let it also for
ever be the time of the singing of
men and Of angels.
