ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

r. F, d. No, 8, Lexington, Tenn
"My little boy broke out on the face
with that terrible disease, eczema,
when he was just one month old, and
| just thought sure it would kin him,
as It killed our other baby at five
months old 1t would break out in
pimples and scab over and he cried
day and night, | thought that there
was no cure for him at all, His face
would itch and burn so bad that ! had
to tie his little hands down SO he could
not scratch his face.
1--WE began at once to have him
treated until he was seven months old,
and he got worse all the time, sent
and got a box Of Cuticura Ointment
and one cake Of Cuticura Soap, ! had
not used them a week until | could
see a great change and they cured
him sound and well and never left a

carefully masticated than a piece
of meat or spoonful of beans.
There is another factor in diet
which should not be overlooked,
and that is its social aspect. Not
only does a food taste and digest
better if eaten in an agreeable
environment, but it also goes
further, as the saying is. When
enlivened by proper conversation
and in the presence of agreeable
companions the process of eating
is slow and deliberate, and thus
hunger, which is a natural in
stinct for food, is more rapidly
appeased by smaller quantity of,
food than otherwise.
| do not mean by this that the
amount of food should not be suf-
fcient for the occasion, but by
eating more slowly there is less
danger of over-eating than when
one eats rapidly. Hence the so
cial feature of the meal should re-
ceive strict attention, and this
means that the tablecloth should
be clean, the dishes well arranged
and the company around the table
congenial. These are by no means
unimportant details of a normal
diet.
Nature and race provides diff
ferent diets, which must be con-
sidered as normal for the locality
and the people. We naturally ex-
pect to eat more fruits and vege-
tables in summer and more GER
eals and meats in winter and such
disposition of the diet tends to

riety, is perhaps not as helpful as
is generally supposed.
| think possibly we would do
better by returning to more ,prim-
tive: customs and eating more ex-
clusiyely the foods of each in
-dividual season as they are pro-
vided. In general i may say that
man is omniverous. He should
have asvariety of food and should
eat it in proper quantity, and he
should respect the season in re-
gard to It's kind and surround
himself in so. far as possible with
pleasing companions while he
eats.
Obesity is not the only sign
of overeating. What are the
others? DIR. Wiley will 7in to-
