PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an infamed 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 q stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He 10

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 tho
hair came of, 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

was such pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
seemed to relieve him so much. Cuti-

Electricity From Windmill.

A patent has been granted for a
system of generating electricity
wherein the prime movers are wind
mill and an internal combustion en-
CINE. both operating on the generator
shaft and connected together by means
of clutch. When the windmill Is
idle the load Is taken by the engine.
and as the windmill gathers speed It
works both the dynamo and the en-
CINE until the speed attains that
which is designated the critical point.
when the engine is disconnected by
governor balls, and the ignition cir.
lcuit is opened, thus stopping the en-
CINE. A reduction in the speed Of
the dynamo causes the cycle of oper-
atoms to work In the opposite order.
