BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him. but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a friend

got a bottle Of Cuticura Resolvent,
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 well. and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. 1 don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura.

Of the craft
1t must be admitted however that few Of tho
European women who work In the fields appear
In the least discontented With their lot. To be
sure the explanation In many cases may be found
In the fact that they know no other life and
seemingly give nary . thought to the possibilities
OF an easier existence. Their mothers and their
grandmother before them went into the fields
In this wise and with q proverbial adherance to
precedent and custom they accept the responsi.
bilities as matter of course. At the same time
there are some Of these women who have given
thought to the subject without having the ponder
ing make any difference in their mental attitude.
On the contrary some of them grow actually ag.
gressive In their contention that It is the duty of
q wife to be her husbands life partner and CO.
worker In fact a. we'll as in name and that II the
husbands occupation is tiling the soil she should

Field work BY women In the United States is
not SO common an occurrence 1t is on the
other side OF the Atlantic, but neither Is It SUM-
ciently unusual to cause much comment and 1t
has increased greatly both in volume and va
riety in recent years. There is the difference
though that work in the field performed by
such American women engage in II does not
savor Of drudgery does much Of that abroad
and furthermore 1t is engaged in for the most
part purely because OF personal preference. That
is there Is no masculine compulsion figuring In
the matter nor is American farmers wife
daughter misled by the fallacy that she is not
doing her share II she does not perform manual
labor in the fields under cultivation.
About the only circumstances in which we find
the women of our farming communities going
into the fields not exactly through a choice OF
their own Is at harvest when there is a
scarcity of labor. II sometimes happens that
farmers. particularly those In the more isolated
sections OF the west and middle west. find 1t i'm
possible to secure, for love or money. the needed
harvest hands and rather than see the ripened
grain lost for lack Of harvesters their wives SIS
ters and daughters have-all credit to them for
i-come to the rescue and performed the work OF
men in the harvest field. In not few instances
women volunteers have under such circumstances
donned mems clothing and the almost unanimous
verdict IL that the advantage from the standpoint
Of utility moro than counterbaance any detriment
in appearances.
But. as has been said. most Of the American
women who are today working in the fields are
doing purely because they prefer It to some
other means Of making livelihood. This IL true
Of the berry picksrs who II they chose could

earn nearly as much seamstresses clerks in
stores and 1t is true likewise of the increasing
number Of women who are engaging in truck gar
dening and fruit raising and like occupations.
However. perhaps the most interesting phase OF
the whole situation is the vast increase among
the women in the fields Of those who not
only there on their own initiative but who are
also proprietors as 1t rather than hired Ia
borers or even coworkers who subscribe to tho
policy Of family cooperation.
The present back to the soil" movement 10 no
doubt responsible in great measure for the in
crease in this class Of women in the fields, and
influence has likewise been exerted by the grow
