ALMOST FRANTIC WITH
ITCHING ECZEMA

Eight years ago I got eczema all
over my hands. My fingers fairly bled
and 1t itched until 1t almost drove me
frantic. The eruption began with
itching under the skin. 1t spread fast
from between the fingers around the
nails and all over the whole hands. I
got a pair Of rubber gloves in order to
wash dishes. Then 1t spread all over
the left side Of my chest. A fine doc.
tor treated the trouble two weeks, but
did me no good. l cried night and
day. Then I decided 10 try Cuticura
Soap and Ointment but without much
hope as I had gone 30 long. There
was a marked change the second day,
and 30 OF until I was entirely cured.
The Cuticura Soap we have always
kept in u home, and we decided
after that lesson that 1t Is a cheap
soap in price and the very best in
quality. My husband will use no other
soap In his shaving mug" (Signed)
Mrs. g. A. Selby. Redonda Beach,
CAL. Jan. Is, 1911. Although Cuticura
Soap and Ointment are sold by drug
gists and dealers everywhere, a sam.
pie Of each, with 32.page book, will
be mailed free on application to

Job, and that II would take a great
deal of coaxing to bring about his re-
turn.
Did anybody faint away as Mr..
Wells walked down the street, kicking
every third ash can off the curbstone?
Not a faint. Did a certain young lady
fling herself down on the sofa and
sob and sob and sob? Not a sob!
Not a fling, On the contrary. Miss
Dora Thurston sat down at the piano
and banged and crashed and banged,
and then walked out to her mother
and said she was ready to go to the
mountains for a week, a month or a
year. The subject had come I'D almost
daily, and the girl had been the one
who hung back. Mr.. Wells had been
with the bank only a few months, and
would not be entitled to a vacation
this summer.
The matter was settled between
mother and daughter In five minutes,
and two days later they were away.
Any notice to the "bossy" young man?
Not a word nor a line. Not so much
as tx, her mark" And the servants
left behind were warned on pain Of
dismissal to give nothing away.

young banker strolled that way again.

For instance, about six months
ago q life insurance agent got after

I told him at the start that I had all
the insurance l a able to carry, but
he kept right on trying to persuade
me that I needed more and. finally. in

out another policy. Then the com.
pany's doctor began trying In every

He acted as II l was voluntarily try.

There are certain men who feel a
sense of proprietorship as soon as they
become engaged. Perhaps this 10 the
right thing. but now and then there is
a girl who objects to 1t. 1t was so in
the case of Miss Dora Thurston.
Frank Wells had scarcely secured an
avowal from her that he was loved In
return when he heaved a long sigh
Of relief and said:
And now, Of course, that fellow
Wakefield will get a hint that he need
not call here any more?"
But Why" was asked.
And you won't have that Burton
dangling arOund?"
Mr.. Burton never dansled."
And that cad of a Granam will be

He will be told no such thing! Mr..
Graham is far from being a cad"
And Peterson will not be permit

Il don't understand you, Mr.. Wells"

herself up. because l have promised
