AIRES TING FLIGHT OF TIME
German Scientists Advise the Eating
of Egg Shells by Those Who
Approach Old Age.

Two Germans, deep thinkers-Pro
fessors Emmerich and Loewe-state
that egg shells eaten increase the
power of resistance against 1.-The with
ering blight of time" add weight to
the body. activity to the brain and
strength to the heart; that they de-
stroy injurious bacilli, prevent infiam'
nation and disease and lend courage
and energy. This reminds me, Phil
Up Hale writes in the Boston Herald,
of the pt eparation advertised In Lon.
don thirty or more years age as re
moving superluous hair, being an eN-
cellent substitute for table butter,
none genuine unless stamped on the
blade. Eustace Miles, the English
court tennis player and vegetarian
says he had an old nurse who used
to ca egg shells and crunch them joy
fully between the teeth that happened
to meet, and she said she ate the
shells because they shaved the hair
off inside of the throat" The discoy'
cry of the German scientist is pc
culiarly welcome to dwellers by the
ocean, for it is a well known fact thai
if you do not break egg shells the
witches will put out to sea in them tc
wreck vessels, and of you burn the
shells the hens will cease to lay
Furthermore, as eggs are now absurd
ly high-even case eggs-in the neigh
borhood it seems a pity TO waste any
part Of them.

BABY IN MISERY WITH RASH

Monroe, Wis.-"When my baby was
six weeks old there came a rash on
his face which finally spread until 1t
got nearly all over his body. 1t form
ed a crust on his head, hair fell out
and the itch was terrible. When he
would scratch the crust, the water
would ooze out in big drops. On face
and body it was in q dry form and
would scale off. He was in great mis-
cry and at nights l would lie awake
holding his hands so that he could not
scratch and disfigure himself. I tried
simple remedies at first, then got
medicine, but it did no good.
Finally a friend suggested Cuticura
Remedies, so I sent for a sample to
see what they would do, when to my
surprise after a few applications ]
could see an Improvement, and he
would rest better. I bought a box OF
Cuticura Ointment and a cake Of Cuti.
cura Soap and before / had them half
used my baby was cured. His head is
now covered with a luxuriant growth
Of hair and his complexion is ad.
mired by everybody and has no dis
agreements" (Signed) Mrs. Annie
