CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

II think the Cuticura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema l have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on it's head when it
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but it did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, running sore. It was
awful: the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
we remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, q box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and ap-
piled the Cuticura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head of hair. l think the Cuti
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
1t makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair" (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 10, 1910.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold everywhere, sample
of each, with 32-page book, will be
mailed free on application to "Cuti.
cura," Dept. II L, Boston.

Dig for Gold to Pay for Building.

Dig for Gold to Pay for Building.
The local lodge OF odd Fellows has
engaged in mining at the site where
it's new building is being erected.
While workmen were excavating for
foundations for the building a rich
prospect of gold was discovered on
bedrock. A sluice box was put in and
all dirt excavated is being run through
it to extract the gold. Good values
are being taken out daily, and the
total sum will amount to a large fig.
ure. The lodge will use the gold to-
ward paying for the building.
When excavating was first started a
gold coin of early mintage was found.

PAY attention TO THE ARMS
Easy to Dress Them Becomingiy So
as to Overcome Any Natural
Defects.

Thin arms are very easily dressed
becomingly, though there have been
women in the world who had every
device of the toilet at their beck and
call and yet failed to understand the
needs of their meagre arms. A cele-
brated actress and we'll known society
woman was one Of these, and even
the SURPRISING loneliness of her face
could not make up for the ugliness of
the arms she was forever showing of
in short sleeves.
However, estimates of beauty have
changed somewhat, and with the pres
cnt formless lines striven for in
clothes match-like arms are no longer
a bar to good looks. But they must
be- dressed becomingly-in long
sleeves gathered over the arms or in
the shape of loose bishop puffs end

sleeve should have a pointed bottom
