Rash ALL OVER BABY'S BODY
Itched So He Could Not Sleep

"On July ~, 1909, we left Boston for
a trip to England and Ireland, taking
baby with us. After being In Ireland
a few days a nasty rash came out all
ove his body. We took him to a doc
tor who gave us medicine for him.
The trouble started in the form Of a
rash and was all over baby's body,
head and face, at different times. 1t
irritated, and he would scratch it with
all his might. The consequence was
1t developed into sores, n we were
afraid it would leave nasty scars on
his face.
when we reached England we took
baby to another doctor, who said his
condition vas due to change of food
and climate, and gave more medicine.
The rash got no better, and it used to
itch and burn at night SO bad that the
child could not sleep. He was CON
pletely covered with it at different
times. 1t was at this time hat my
mother advised us to try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. After using Cuti-
cura Soap, and Cuticura Ointment for
about nine months the places disap-
peared. There are not any scars, or
other kind of Disagreement, and baby
is completely cured by the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We have no fur

BRACKETS FOR CELLAR SHELF
Considerable Work Required In Max
ing Framework If Not Done
While Wall Is Being Built.

The erecting of shelves against a
cement or stone wall usually requires
considerable work in making the
framework; this could be replaced by
placing three-eighths-inch iron rods in
the mortar of the wall when 1t ia
built, says the Homestead. These
should project far enough SO the
boards used for shelves can lay on
same, in the manner shown in illus
tration. Where the wall has been
constructed the holes can be drilled
in same way by employing a miners
drill of the right size; it is then an
easy matter to slip the rods into

A FINE NIGHT-CAP
The Best Thing in the World to Go to
Bed and Sleep On.

"My wife and | find that 4 teaspoon
fuls of Grape-Nuts and a cup of hot
milk, or some cream, with it, makes
the finest night-cap in the world" says
an Allegheny, Pa, man.
1--WE go to sleep as oon as we strike
the bed, and slumber like babies till
rising time in the morning.
1T is about 8 years now since we be-
gan to use Grape-Nuts food, and we
always have it for breakfast n be-
fore retiring and sometimes for lunch.
I was so sick from what the doctors
called acute Indigestion and brain flag
before | began to use Grape-Nuts that |
could neither eat, sleep nor work with
any comfort.
~ was afflicted at the same time
with the most intense pains, accompan-
led by a racking headache and back
ache, every time / tried to eat any
thing. Notwithstanding an unusual
pressure from my professional duties,
l was compelled for a time to give up
my work altogether.
Then l put myself on a diet OF
Grape-Nuts and cream alone, with an
occasional cup of Postum as a runner
up, and sometimes a little dry toast. l
assure you that in less h a a week l
felt like a new lar l had gained six
pounds in weight, could sleep well
and think well.
'"The good work went on, n / was
soon ready to return to business, and
have been hard at it, and enjoying 1t
ever since.
Command me at any time any n
enquiries as to the merits Of Grape
Nuts. You will find me always ready
