ECZEMA DISFIG,|RED BABY

'OEr little boy Gilbert was troubled with
eczema when but few weeks old. His little
face was covered with sores even to back of
his ears The poor little fellow suffered very
inuch. The sores began as pimples. his little
face Was disagured very much. We hardly
knew what he looked ike The face looked
ike raw meat. We tied little bags Of cloth
over his hands TO prevent him from scratch
ing. lie vas very restless at night, his little
face itched.
We consulted two doctors at Chicago,
where we resided al that time. After trying
all the medicine OF the two doctors without
any result, we read of the Cutcura Remedies,
ana at once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions care
fully and promptly we saw the result, and
after four weeks. the dear ehilds face was
as fine and clean as any little baby's face.
Every one who saw Gilbert after using the
llticura Remedies was surprised. He has q
head Of hair which is pride for any boy of
MS age, three years. We can only recommend
the cutlcura Remedies to everybody"

ROBERT y. HOFFECKER,
Editor and Business Manager.

Self-preservation has been the
FIRST law of nature since man was
made. But the hero record of the
Titanic shows that man has risen
above it. No more glowing in
stance of the power of man to rise
supreme over the terrors of death
under appalling conditions could be
had than the record which tells of
the altruistic denials of self-pre-
servation by men who stepped aside
and assisted women and children
to take fresh hold upon the fragile
thread of life. The calm sea below,
the calm stars above were not more
calm than many of the men whose
outward placidity was undisturbed
by their emotions. The imperative
call to die upon the battlefield,
amid the ring of shot and shell,
when the glory of the flag is intoxi-
eating and the strife of battle is
exhilarating, is vastly different
from the summons that death gave
the men of the Titanic. To pass
without murmur within the dark
portals and to leave abruptly and
finally those bound to them by the
dearest ties, with the knowledge
that the loved ones would have
their hearts lacerated BY viewing
has :. movedl6 Of husbandsy fathers
and Se6tTsfs, was the hard fate of
these men. Such deaths prove the
supremacy of manhood more than
any of the ordinary testimonies to
the qualities of the race.
