CUTlCURA OINTMENT HEALED
BAD SORE ON LIMB

Some time ago I was coming up
some steps when the board crushed
under me like an egg shell, and my
right limb went through to the knee,
and scraped the flesh of the bone
just inside and below the knee. I
neglected it for day or two, then It
began to hurt me pretty badly. I put
balsam fir on to draw out the poison,
but when had used 1t week, it hurt
so badly that changed to -- oint-
ment. That made it smart and burn
so badly that I couldn't use it any
more, and that was the fourth week
after I was hurt
Then began to use Cuticura Oint-
ment for the sore. It stopped hurting
Immediately and began healing right
away. 1t was a bad-looking sore be-
fore Cuticura Ointment healed it, and
1 suffered SO couldn't sleep from two
days after I fell until I began using

it would leave my face smarting.
had to keep a lotion to stop the smart,
no matter how expensive a soap I
used. 1 find at last in Cuticura Soap
a soap that will clean my face and
leave no smarting, and I do not have
to use any lotion or anything else to
ease it. 1 believe Cuticura Soap is the

Byron and us Mother.

How different Byron's character
might have been If he had had a DIFF
ferent mother! A worse parent for
such a child can hardly be imagined.
Although at times indulgent to excess,
her temper bordered on insanity. She
rarely passed week without an out
burst Of hysterical rage. One day
after loading her child with abusive
epithets she mockingly called him "a
lame brat At this outrageous taunt
a feasful light came into the child's
eyes, but he surpassed his mother in
self control. For a moment his lips
quivered and his face whitened. Then
very slowly he spoke these five short
words, II was born 80, mother" and
turned from the woman, who dared
not follow him. Yet Byron loved her,
and after she was found dead he was
found weeping in the dark beside her
lfeless form.-John L. Stoddard.

If one story Of him is to be believed
he possesses considerably greater de-

to him. 1t appears that on one occa-

with Winston Churchill. who. in the
course of the conversation, expressed
one of his more radical opinions-just
which it is perhaps wiser not to say.
The king objected, saying that such a
sentiment was at variance with his
idea of the British constitution.
"Oh," said the first lord Of the ad-
miralty piqued, land what is your idea
of the constitution, may ask. sir?''
