BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave scale. Then 1t would
break out again and II 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 1t kept spreading until 1t was on
his hands and arms. ! bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time He
had 1t about six months when friend
told me about Cuticura. ! sent and
got 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 we'll, and never had
any breaking out Of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. / don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.
Il 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. | think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to

smut on his chin. He was newsboy.

He knew his city and its tricks. AZ
wasn't looking for sympathy. and 1t
was seldom that he extended any. It
was his business to live, and he sue

paper of him well and good: II they
bought. 1t Of the next boy there was
no row over 1t. But, when person
had bought Of him several times, and
had perhaps passed few words with
him. he came to feel proprietary in
terest In his customer This was
especially true in the case of the
many girls leaving their desks In the
Park row offices at Ave o'clock for
Brooklyn or the suburban homes
reached by subway or elevated.
The little stenographer had been a
steady customer OF the Kid for q
month. and every time she bought a
paper she had smile for him. He
Just called her stenographer to dis
tinguish her from the typist and 9th
ers. but he was sure about the little.
She was certainly petite. She had
blond hair, eyes to go with 1t, and
her sunny smile was good to see.
The kid found himself taking an
interest in the little stenographer,
and he wondered at 1t. Where did
she live? Was she fatherless? Was
she supporting a widowed mother and
sister or brother? Were they pay
Ing her fair salary in the Office?
He had never spent two minutes
wondering about any other girl, and
there were times when he felt con-
tempt for himself. 1t was nonsense
1t wasn't business. And yet when
Eve o'clock came he found himself
looking for the little girl with the
blue eyes and blond hair.
After some weeks had gone by the
Kid spotted what he had for some
time been looking for. As the girl
came up Park row looking neither

at her heels. The Kid didn't know
his name, but he knew his kind. and
his anger was aroused In minute

The masher saw. He was an Of

him. He didn't know the Kid, but
the Kid might know him.
The second masher appeared. He
wNS NOT as bold as the first. He was
going to follow the little stenographer
and see where she lived. On car or
subway he might find excuse to ad-
dress her. The Kid passed his bundle
Of papers to a boy friend and fol-
lowed the follower. He entered the
subway and took seat beside the
girl. He slipped into 1t just a second

and then she uttered q little laugh
and the exclamation:
"Why. never thought Of seeing you

She talked with him In a chatty,
