LOVE AND THE AER0PLANE
Some Good Advice for Those Daring
MortaIs Who Would Do Their
Courting Aioft.

Secure a nice roomy aeroplane, and
place in it an oldfashioned sofa or
armchair. Then put the girl in, get
in yourself and turn on the power.
Do not be in any hurry. Get far
enough up so that you can be preoc-
cupied for a few moments without
landing.
1t is just as well to strap the girl
In. She can't get away, of course, but
you can kiss girl in an aeroplane
much easier if she is firmly secured.
Always keep one hand on the steer
ing apparatus and the other on the
girl; but if worst comes to worst, let
go the steering apparatus.
The following schedule, If adhered
to, will prevent ordinary accidents:
Five hundred feet. up, hold girls
hand.
Six hundred feet up, arm around her
waist
Seven hundred feet, drop everything
and hold girl, working steering appa-
ratus with both feet
Be careful, when you alight, not to
come down near a church. In the ex-
element of the occasion you may for
get yourself and marry the girl.
Many fatal accidents have resulted in
this manner.-Puck.

STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS

Some nine years ago I noticed
small pimples breaking out on the
back of my hands. They became very
irritating, and gradually became
worse, so that | could not sleep at
night. 1 consulted a physician who
treated me long time, but it got
worse, and l could not put my hands
In water. I was treated at the hos
pital, and it was just the same. l was
told that it was a very bad case of
eczema. Well, I just kept on using
everything that I could for nearly
eight years untl / was advised to try
Cuticura Ointment. l did SO, and I
found after a few applications and by
bandaging my hands well up that the
burning sensations were disappearing,
/ could sleep well, and did not have
any itching during the night. began
after while to use Cuticura Soap for
a wash for them, and think by using
the Soap and Ointment / was much
benefited. l stuck to the Cuticura
treatment, and thought If | could use
other remedies for over seven years
with no result, and after only having
few applications and finding ease
from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it
deserved fair trial with a severe
and stubborn case ] used the Oint-
ment and Soap for nearly six months,
and am glad to say that / have
hands as clear as anyone.
