ALMOST CRAZY WITH ECZEMA

II, the undersigned, cannot give
enough praise to the Cuticura Rem.
edies. I had been doctoring for at
least a year for eczema on my foot. +
had tried doctor after doctor all to
no avail. When a young girl 1 sprained
my ankle three different times, paying
little or no attention to it, when five
years ago a small spot showed upon
my left ankle. I was worried and sent
for a doctor. He said it was eczema.
He drew a small bone from the ankle
about the size Of a match and about
an inch long. The small hole grew
to about the size Of an apple, and the
eczema spread to the knee. The doc
tors " could heal the hole in the
ankle. The whole foot ran water all
the time.
my husband and my sons were up
night and day wheeling me from one
room to another in the hope Of giving
me some relief. 1 would sit for hours
at a time in front of the fireplace
hoping for dayhreak. Tho pain was
SO intense I was almost crazy, in fact,
I would lose my reason for hours at
a time. One day a friend of mine
dropped in to see me. No more had
she glanced at my foot than she ex-
claimed: Mrs. Finnegan, why in the
world don't you try the Cuticura Rem
edies!' Being disguised with the doc
tors and their medicines, and not be-
ing able to sleep at all, l decided to
give the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment a trial. After using them
three days that night I slept as sound
as a silver dollar for eight long hours.
I awoke in the morning with but very
little pain, in fact, I thought I was
in heaven. After using the Cuticura
Remedies for three months / was per-
fectly restored to health, thanks t
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I

Why Hens Don't Lay in Winter.

I have found it very difficult to make
people understand that a hen cannot make
eggs and feathers at the same time. She
can lay while she is shedding her feath-
ers, because there is then no drain on
her system for any other purpose. But
when the new coat of Gathers is started
she quits, simply because she cannot do
double duty-make feathers and eggs at
the same time. When people learn this
fact they will not expect eggs from a hen
tina is growing a coat of feathers. And
then they may also learn how to manage
their Matching and feeding so as to get
eggs In the late fall and winter, when
they want them badly.

There is a curious legend connected

natives are very superstitious, and
greatly fear this demon, who is sup

showing a stranger the spot, they cover

and the farmer went home happy, but
