PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA

when my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, it came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after a few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
II consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.

OPINIONS AS TO FRIENDSHIP
HeaIthy-Minded Girl Faces Facts
SquareIy and Looks for Reasons
for Shattered Idol.

Most OF US start out In girlhood
with rather definite OPINIONS as to

in Woman's Home Companion. "A
friend should be this or that. We have
the matter all settled in our minds.
And then, along comes some expert

CUSTOM OF SHAKING HANDS
Display Of Friendly Feeling Origin
ated When Men Were In Habit Of
Carrying Swords.

Did you ever ask yourself why you
shake hands with persons whom you
know? Here is the reason:
IL the old days. when every man
who had any pretensions to being q
gentleman carried sword, it was the
custom for men when they met to
show that they had no intention OF
reachery to offer each other their
Weapon hands-that is. the hand that
would be used to draw the sword. and
% withhold the hand was usually the
signal for a fight
So fixed did this habit become that
long after men ceased to wear swords
hey still offered the weapon hand to
, friend and declined to offer 1t to an
enemy. To this day when you refuse

REALISTIC DOLLS NOT GOOD
Better to Give Children the Old-Fash-

New Weird Creations.

For many generations the doll has

pretty, at least no child need be with
out pretty doll.
But suddenly cruel tidal wave Of
realism has swept over doll country.
The realistic doll has come, says the
Bosto-A Herald. There is popular de-
mand for truth at any price, and the
price in the nursery is bought at the
expense Of childish imagination. The

abandonment of dreamland. The real

serious losses. Perhaps the greatest
of these Is caused by the literal. real

which Is diminishing as rapidly as pos
sible the priceless gift of imagination.
The doll Is the embodiment of the
childish ideal, the symbol of beauty
and symmetry. In the kingdom of dolls
there should be nothing admitted that

trespasses against this law has tres
passed against that ideal world which
should be the special property of lit

Perhaps the smallest electric motor
in the world is in the scarf pin of D.
Goodwin of Mckinney, Tex. He is a
skilled matchmaker and recently he
constructed the motor, which is so
small that 10-cent piece will cover
It. It weighs only nine-one hundredths
of an ounce. The front Of the motor
is of highly polished gold and the com
mutator and segments are of the same
metal. Mr.. Goodwin wears the curl
osity in his necktie and it makes a
very attractive decoration, the nature
of which can only be discovered by
close inspection.
