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 a scale. Then 1t would
break out again and 1t spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was sca1y all over. Then his
face broke out all over In red bumps
and 1t kept spreading until it 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 l sent and
got q bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake Of Cuticura Soap and 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 ResolYent, 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. 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 put
them on. think Cuticura Is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use 1t. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

Methods of Japanese Are Improved

production of camphor. The expert
ments which the department of agri-
culture has been conducting In the
gulf coast region of this state In
growing the trees from which this ar
ticle OF commerce is distilled have
proved beyond question that it can be
made highly profitable industry.
On the demonstration farm at
Pierce, just north of Bay City, cam
phor seeds were planted several years
ago and they soon terminated, the
trees having a remarkable growth. In
one years time the plants reached q
height of IS inches, which is said to
be a more rapid growth than they
have in the camphor producing re-
gions of the world.
The seeds were planted in rows, and
were not fertilized, nor did they re-
ceiye unusual attention. Best results
are obtained by planting the seed I'M
der shelter, where the tender plants
have protection until they are well
enough advanced In size for trans.
planting.
An unusual method of harvesting
the camphor crop is recommended for
this region by the agricultural experts
of the federal government. It Is held
by them that a regular annual profit
Of $500 to $3.50 an acre MAJ be OBJ
tanned from q camphor farm in the
gulf coast territory by cutting the
canphor plants with a moving ma
chine when they reach a height Of
about II inches from the ground, in
stead Of waiting until the trees are of
full growth size and then cutting
them, as is done on the island of For
mosa, from which the bulk of the
worlds output Of camphor comes.

of many nights sleep. There was thick
red sediment in her urine like brick dust.

complication was making her very thin

bottle of the large size for her and it helped
her greatly. After she had taken three
bottles she did not have any more trouble

Is now well and healthy At the time Of
her kidney trouble, she weighed 100 pounds,
