Park Commissioner Slower, when

CHILD'S FACE ALL RED SPOTS

632 n. 5th ST., Terre Haute, Ind
MY little nephew, a boy of four
years, had breaking out on his face.
1t was little red spots at first, then
he would rub and scratch and water
blisters would form, and wherever the
water would run another would come
until his face was covered with them.
He would cry and fret. His mother
got some medicine, but it did not do
any good. He would scream and cry
and say it hurt. We hardly knew him.
his little face was all red spots and
blisters. So I begged him to let me
put some Cuticura Ointment on them.
The next morning I made a strong
soap suds with Cuticura Soap and
washed his face in the warm suds.
The little blisters burst by pressing
the cloth on them. After I had his
face washed, put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on and in a short time his little
face was all red and dry. kept using
the Cuticura Soap and putting on the
Cuticura Ointment and his face got as
well and it did not leave a scar. He
was entirely cured in about one week
and a half" (Signed) Mrs. Arthur

Matter of Justice.

Where shall justice begin, with
those who have power or with those
who suffer wrong? If exact and ideal
justice were done, the weak would
make an effort to give to the strong
all that is their due, and the strong
would try to put their affairs in order
so that no just cause of complaint
should exist anywhere. The unhappy
element in the relations Of the strong
and the weak is that both are think
ing too much about exacting justice
and not enough about doing that
which is just and right. PAY what
thou owest" is the cry most often
heard. Give me that which is my
due, then 1 will pay you what I owe
