WHITE PIMPLEs ON HEAD

Ransom. Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples. looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was. covered for q few months, then It
went to his ear. shoulders, and his
whole body. It seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
ON the other parts Of his body 1t was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had .
full nights sleep, restless all night.
1.-THE sores were horrid to look at.
It lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an ec-
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -. but 1t did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on thick at bed time and put q
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed 1t clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice a day. and he was completely
cured" (signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber-
ger, Dec. 80. 1911.

tom of the young people to meet,
write each others or some of
their acquaintance names on a
slip of paper, which were thrown
into q box from which they were
drawn, the men taking the girls
names and vice versa. The per-
son thus drawing became ones
valentine and for q whole year
was bound to devote himself to
the one who drew him. Some
times, of course, this lei to real

The publisher Of a paper must
live as well as tho clothier, the
dry goods man or the grocer. To
get, the wherewith to live he has
one thing to sell and another to
rent. He sell his paper and he
rents the space in his columns,
these are his principal sources of
income and can any one inform
us why he is expected to give
either away? He can. of course,
do so ii he chooses and as mat
ter of fact he does furnish good
deal of his space rent free. B t
it does not follow that he ought
to be expected to do so as mat
ter of course, and further, when
once he does it ought to be recog-
nized as a contribution just as
the suga~ or coffee given by the
grocer. But it is not generally
looked at in.that light, yet every
body knows that the very exist
ence of a newspaper depends up
on the selling of the paper and
the rent of the space as much as
q merchants success depends up
on the sale Of his goods. There
is just as much reason for the
merchant giving his goods away
ricc as there is for the publisher.
