years of eczema. About four years
ago ! noticed some little pimples

worse and spread all over my hands.

long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves could think of, / went to
three different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.

wonderful Cuticura Remedies, l pur-
chased one complete set, and after
using them three days my hands we're
much better. Today my hands are
entirely well, one set being all / used"

His Comma Out.

A fond Chicago mother is to give a
coming-out party for her SON. OF
course, we have no means of know
ing the youth, but we fancy he must
be exactly that kind of son-and we
await with bated anxiety a full de-
scription of his coming-out costume.
What will be done with the gentle
youth after this severe social ordeal
isn't stated. but it can be believed
that he is to be rushed around to all
sorts of society functions-and, of
course, carefully guarded against the
matrimonial designs of fortune-hunt-
ing females.
