"ECZEMA ITCHED so BADLY
 | COULDN'T STAND IT,"

'1 suffered with eczema on my neck for about six months, beginning by lit tie pimples breaking out. I kept scratching till the blood came. It kept getting worse, I couldn't sleep nights any more. It kept itching for about a month, then l went to a doctor and got some liquid to take It seemed as if l was going to get better. The itching stopped for about three days, but when it started again, was even worse than before. The eczema itched SO badly couldn't stand it any more.
 q went to doctor and he gave me Nome medicine, but didn't do any good. We have been having Cuticura Rem- edies in the house, so l decided to try them. I had been using Cuticura Soap, so I got me box of Cuticura Ointment, and washed off the affected part with Cuticura Soap three times a day, and then put the Cuticura Oint- ment on. The first day put it on, it relieved me of itching so I could sleep all that night. It took about a week, then l could see the scab come off kept the treatment up for three weeks, and my eczema was cured.
 My brother got his face burned with gun-powder, and he used Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The people all thought he would have scars, but you can't see that he ever had his face burned. It was simply awful to look at before the Cuticura Remedies (Soap and OintmenD cured it." (Signed) Miss Elizabeth Gehr1i, For rest City, Ark, Oct. 16, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap and Ointment are sold by druggists and dealers everywhere, sample of each, with 32-page book, will be mailed free on application to "Cuticura," Dept L, Boston.

When to Gall the Doctor.

When to summon the doctor is a point which has probably puzzled most people at one time or another, but in the case of throat and intestinal troubles there should be no uncertain ty, says a medical authority. The doc tor should be summoned at once, for
 e sore throat may be diphtheria, and
 ] intestinal symptoms may mean
 iitonitis, appendicitis or any one of
 dozen complaints of serious char gcter. Valuable time and the golden Opportunity may be wasted by wait ing for symptoms that are severe enough to justify calling the doctor.

Oyster Eishino In Mexico.

Operations connected with the oyster
fishing in Mexico are very simple. as
In many of the lagoons the water is so
shallow that the fishermen simply step
down into the water, which will reach
not much above the middle of the
thigh. and with their hands pull off
large masses of the shells. The princi.
pal use made of these oysters is to con-
vert their shells into lime No lime
stone is found along the Tabasco and
Vera Cruz coast. and to bring it from
farther up the rivers is slow and ex-
pensive operation. The oyster beds,
centuries old, have taken the place Of
the limestone quarries Immense guam
titles of oysters and shells are annually
consumed in making shell lime. The
process is extremely simple, but wan
tonly wastefuI. No distinction is made
between old shells and live oysters, nor
would it be possible to do so. The en-
tire catch is taken on shore. where a
pile of wood is stacked up, and upon
this the shells and oysters are heaped
and fire lighted. A few of the oys-
tiers. are eaten as soon as brought in.
but the percentage is insignificant

THE Pull. THAT PULLS.

Nine times iu ten there is string

Beware of the pull, young man.
You are expected to return exception
al favors extended to you. And when
1t comes to trading favors what guar
anty have you that you will receive
as much-or more-in the exchange?
He who grants you one concession is
likely to ask of your civility two in re-
turn.
Besides
In the manly attitude Of him who
asks no preferential chance beyond
that he merits there is great force. To
him who succeeds of himself there
comes a sense of self respect that
never comes to him who courts the
smiles and aid of others.
81 have no mil"
The expression. which is all too com
mon, reveals n habit of looking for ex-
elusive privilege that is wrong in prin-
ciple and vicious in practice.
Equality of opportunity is of the
substance of democracy. No mau has
the right to demand more than a fair
chance and an open field.
No pull2
Why should you receive some extraor
binary friendship denied to others?
Why should you be excused from re
Quirements for which others are made
to pay?
