CURED HER BABY OF ECZEMA

Il can't tell in words how happy the
word 'Cuticura' sounds to me, for 1t
cured my baby Of itching, torturing
eczema. 1t first came when she was
between three and four weeks old,
appearing On her head. I used every
thing imaginable and had one doc
tors bill after another, but nothing
cured it. Then the eczema broke out
SO badly behind her ear that I really
thought her ear would come off. For
months I doctored 1t but to no avail.
Then it began at her nose and her
eyes were nothing but sores. I had to
keep her in a dark room for two
weeks. The doctor did no good, SO l
stopped him coming.
For about two weeks I had used
Cuticura Soap for her every day,
then l got a box Of Cuticura Ointment
and began to use that. In a week
there was a marked improvement. In
all I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap
and one box Of C%uticura Ointment and
my baby was cured of the sores. This
was last November; now her hair is
growing out nicely and she has not a
C on her. I a not praise Cuti-
cura enough, l can take my child any
where and people are amazed to see
her without a sore. From the time
she was four weeks old until she was
three years she was never without the
terrible eruption, but now, thanks to
Cuticura, I have a well child" (Sign-
ed) Mrs. H. E. Householder, 1904 Will

Plain as Dav,

A man recently visited the art
museum in Chicago and wandered
about, looking at the paintings with
more or less interest. He finally
stopped in front of a portrait which
showed a man sitting in a high-backed
chair. There was a small white card
onSthe picture, reading:
"a portrait of E. H. Smith, by him

The man read the card and then
chuckled to himself.

he said. Anybody who looks at that
picture would know Smiths by him

being lost entirely i'll the confusion that at
tended the fall of the Confederacy.
However, the worst experience of all came
only a few years ago and resulted from an
error of judgment on the part of the custo-
dams of the will, who supposed that they were
acting for the best. 1t had come about that
as a result of the handling of the will the pin
ming together of the 20 pages and the wear
along the lines Of the creases in which it had
been folded almost every one of the sheets was
completely severed through the middle. The
persons in charge of the will realized in a
vague sort of way that something ought to be
done and they finally hit upon the plan of sew

King Nabonid, it is proved, built his fortifi-
cations out Of the ruins Of works constructed
by his predecessors, as the excavators found
brick with a four lined inscription of Heri-
glissar, in which this ruler, whose inscriptions
have hitherto been missing, describes himself
as 'the accomplished of good deeds"
The excavations made in Assur by DR.. w.
Andrae in the season April to October yielded
still more important results. The complete
ground plan Of the Temple of Assur was laid
bare, and the history Of the great building
pushed back to the third millennium, B.. c.

The temple was renewed by the King Samsi-

500 years later under S~almamassar l., who,
however, reconstructed 1t on exactly the old
lines.

Temples of Babylon

The Deutsche Orient-Ge sellschaft gives an
interesting account of the past years excava-
ton work in three different parts Of Babylon.
In the town quarter known as Kasr were
laid bare several hundred meters of a wall
about 35 feet thick, broken by numerous door
openings which We're originally fanked by
towers. The most interesting find here was a
coffin of burned clay, on the lid of which was
a relief of a bearded head.
Near the north wall of the quarter known
as Saehn was discovered a system Of drains.

found several fragments Of tablets with cuni-
form Inscriptions from the time of Nebuchad.

tors to complete fragmentary tablets discover.

The legend proved to refer to the building
Of the Zigurrat, the temple tower of Babylon.
The beginning reads as follows: "Nebuchad-
nezzar, king Of Babylon, reverer of the great

gods, establisher of Esagila and Ezida, son Of
Nabopolassar, of the king of Babylon, am l.
When Marduk, the great lord, elevated my
head | abased myself reyerently before Mar
duk, the god who created me-"
After this Nebuchadnezzar goes on to boast
that he made the temple brilliant as the day
with bitumen and blue g~littering bricks and
that for the same end he has had mighty ce-
dars prepared. The inscription ends with
Nebuchadnezzar's prayer that Marduk will
reward his pious deeds by granting him
eternal days"
Work was also carried on at the town wall
built by Nabonid, the last king of Babylon,
who reigned 555-53S B.. G. About 400 meters
Of this wall were uncovered. The wall is
about 25 feet thick and has a tower every so

to the work and what he has wrought is little

observer can detect the will is in practically
the same condition as it was when 1T left the
hands of its distinguished author. 1t is only
when a page is held to the light that one
realizes that, technically, the document is but
a ghost of its former self.
All sorts of obstacles were encountered in
connection with the restoration of the will. 1t
was at first planned to have the odd salvage

the government had already worked wonders
