HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE

Il can truthfully say Cuticura Rem

years of eczema. About four years
ago 1 noticed some little pimples
coming on my little finger, and not
giving 1t any attention, 1t soon became
worse and spread all over my hands.
If would have them in water for a
long time, they would burn like fire
and large cracks would come. could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves / could think Of, went to
three different doctors. but all did
me no good. The only relief got was
scratching.

THE SAFE LAXATIVE
FOR ELDERLY PEOPLE

Most elderly people are more or

sistent constipation, due largely to
lack of sufficient exercise. They ex-
perience difficulty In digesting even
light food, with consequent belching
of stomach gases, drowsiness after
eating, headache and feeling of lassi-

Doctors advise against cathartics and
violent purgatives OF every kind, rec
ommending a mild, gentle laxative
tonic, like DR., CaldwelPs Syrup Pepsin,
to effect relief without disturbing the
entire system.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is the

innovation Favored by Paris Seems to
Presaee Return Of Such Re-
ceptaces to Fashion.

During the past year the pocket has
been slowly and steadily regaining its
position in woman's toilettes and even
SO daring an innovation as sleeve
pocket has now been made possible.
This is quite the latest fashion note
from Paris. the new form of pocket
being chiefly intended as receptacle
for the tiny fan, which is SO much in
vogue at present.
The pocket is usually inserted in the
sleeve just below the elbow, the aper-
ture being cleverly concealed with
lace or chiffon, SO that its presence
Is not even suspected until the fair
wearer suddenly produces miniature
embroidered fan. apparently out of
her arm.
The fan pocket is to be found on
either sleeve of a smart afternoon
gown and in some costumes one or
other of the cuffs is frequently pro
vided with pocket after the same
style.
Although originally intended only to
hold the fan, as in China. the sleeve
pocket has been found SO convenient
that it is also used to hold lace
handkerchief, and there is no doubt
that its dimensions will increase when
sleeves assume large proportions.
