PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with a very
Irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days 1t would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found she al suffering from eczema
which he said came from hes teething
l. used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all. Then
wrote for a book oE Cuticura. and pur
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint
ment at the drug store. 1 did as
found directions in the Cuticura Book
let. and when she was one year old
she was entirely cured. Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment

drudgery instead of a privilege. Pos
s1bly this makes me reactionary-a

when Soyer's paper bag cookery was
suggested to me, there was not a
stouter skeptic in all these United
States. Soyer's experience did moth

convinced me that paper bag cooking
was one of the things that cost more
thar they come to. For l set myself

clips, equal the cost of many sauce
pans. Furthermore. it Is against

having to haste nor watch mine, after
the fame was turned down properly,
l had liberty to run in on her and see
how she Jared. She was doing her
best-a best that is superlative,
watching and basting her beef with

something beautiful to behold when

a saving is beyond question.
The scales showed her roast to

pound, had lost a fraction under two
ounces. Furthermore, all the strength
OF my meat was in the gravy. A fifth

which alone are within the compass

bettered in the process. Further,
they will auc and season much
other cheap food-stuff, thereby dou-

This a be accomplished through
the medium of stews.
Meat for stewing may be bought at
the lowest current prices-eank. neck

that no sharp bones are left project
ing. Wash clean. but very quickly,
after cutting up, dry with a damp
cloth-which is not paradoxical
though it sounds so-season lightly
with salt and pepper and let lie for
an hour In a cool place. Wash the
vegetables carefully, cut them up,
and put in cold water.
Grease a roomy bag very well-a

on the bulk. Take up in a deep dish;

The proportion of vegetables to
meat may be three to one, or even
four to one. if there is plenty of extra
fat.
