There are two ways to tell whether you
have weak kidneys
The first is through the pains in the back
and other outward signs. The second is
by examination of the kidney secretions.
That is why physicians make such
careful examination when you apply for

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"a few days after birth we noticed
an infiamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch Of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until I commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him. and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. -Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured l don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs T. B.
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.
Although Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment are sold by druggists and deal
ers everywhere, a sample of each,
with 32-page book, will be mailed free

In South Africa the locusts or grass
boppers have been destroying crops
and grass to a greater extent than
usual during the last few years. The
international bureau, maintained by
the French, the English and the Portu-
guese, that has been collecting infor-
motion concerning the determination
of insect pests, has been unable to Of
fer the farmer anything better than
the standard arsenic and sugar spray.
This method is very dangerous as well
as very expensive. Still, it has been
used in spite of many drawbacks; and

dollar spent last year in applying this
spray, there was a saving of 500 in
crops.

Rural France LOSING.

At a recent French Congress on Ru
raj Depopulation it was reported that
in the department of the Cote dor
which mainly produces wheat and
wine, the problem of depopulation in
the rural sections of France is of a

date and up to 1911 the decrease has
been from $4,000 to 347 600

Such parasite for the locust has

coccus group, which produce a fatal
disease among the locusts, and which

poultry rabbits or guinea pigs. Yucca

locust this year.-Harper's Weekly.
