ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP

Lebanon, O.-"My eczema started
on my thigh with a small pimple. II
also came on my scalp. 1t began to
itch and I began to scratch. For
eighteen or twenty years l could not
tell what I passed through with that
awful itching. I would scratch until
the blood would soak through my un-
derwear, and I couldn't talk to my
friends on the street but I would be
digging and punching that spot, until
was very much ashamed. The itch
ing was so intense I could not sleep
after once in bed and warm I certain

for many years.

heard of, but all to no avail. / saw
the advertisement for Cuticura Soap

Imagine my delight when applied the
first dose to that awful itching fire
on my leg and scalp, in less than a
minute the itching on both places

emily Followed Her.

Ending courtship which began In
Cuba, crossed into Mexico, slipped
back into Colorado, skipped over into
Canada, and finally to Connecticut, Isl
doro De La Tore, young and
wealthy nephew of the former Presi
dent Diaz of Mexico, married Miss
Callie Andrews of Brooklyn, an
actress.
Mexican politics helped make the
course of love far from smooth. When
his uncle was forced to leave Mexico
De La Tore, whose father had been
an adherent of the former president
found it necessary to leave. too. In

The recall, together with the initia-

of Switzerland, where they have been
established for many years. The re-
call became law in this country for
the first time when Los Angeles put II

what source in this country the idea

decade of the nineteenth century,
which gave the country the Farmers

Through many generations the hab-

rare exceptions We look for heroism
on the field of activity alone. 1t is

Slippers have less substance to
