ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY

When my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. I noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick,
and red as coal Of fire. l did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
CASTLE soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as
1t itched, and she cried, and did not
sleep for more than a week. One
day saw in the paper the advertise
ment of the Cuticura Soap and Cuti-
cura Ointment, so I got them and
tried them at once. My baby's face
was as cake of sores.
when | first used the Cuticura
Soap and Cuticura Ointment, l could
see difference. In color it was red
der. l continued with them. My
baby was in a terrible condition. 1
used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap
and Ointment) four times a day and
in two weeks she was quite well. The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin is now pretty
and fine through using them. / also
use the Cuticura Soap today, and will
continue to, for it makes a lovely
skin. Every mother should use the
Cuticura Remedies. They are good
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
is also good for shampooing the hair,
for I have tried it. 1 tell all my
friends how the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment cured my baby of eczema
and RASH" (Signed) Mrs. Drew, 210

It was the in. tention to spring a surprise party call on the McCoys in the after noon. but on arrival at the house it was found the unsuspecting host and hostess-to were themselves out visiting for the day. and only caretaker at home.
 The party, however. simply went right in and entertained them selves in high carnival fashion and on departure left regrets that their absent entertainers couldn't have been in on the fun.

 Already a number of Indians from neighboring reservations have come in and are camped on the outskirts of town, to be ready for the Indian sports; the hose-cart competitors are turning out every evening for practice runs, and the log'sawing contests and cowboy sports will of course share interest with the three baseball games.
 Probably the best index of "the Williams way" is the big barbecue dinner which will be served abso. lutely without cost to the hungry multitude that will crowd the city's streets on the Fourth. Ample pre- parations have been made to ineure a plentitude of the best kind of food for the occasion.
 The three baseball games should be of absorbing interest, and the game of the 4th, when the winner of the $500 purse will be decided, should be as good as a champion ship game.
 Beside the regular performances at the Opera house, an extra special in the ''101 Ranch" scenes, will be put on on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, the show being continuous from 11:30 8. m. of the 3rd and 4th.
 A big dance at Silvernail hall will be given on the night of the 3rd, and another at the same place as the concluding feature of what will be two days of real festivities. plain and fancy music every few minutes.
 Why, son, if had time 1 could just cradle your ear for an hour telling you what's on and what's coming off for the Fourth. But you just stick around. boy, and the sights you see and the fun you have for two days will stock up your brain-barn with stuff thapll be food for thought a long time till next Labor Day, anyway, when the next big show is billed.
