@WHY SHOULD | USE
CUTiCURA SOAP7"

There is nothing the matter with
my skin. and thought Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True. d
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than generation its delicate
emollient and prophylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose, while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give to 1t all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white. the hair live
and glossy. and the scalp free from
dandruff and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that of ordinary toilet
soaps. 1t is prepared with such care
and of such materials, that 1t wears
to wafer, often outlasting several
cakes of other soap. and making its
use, In practice, most economical.
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending 70 "Cuticura,"
Dept. L, Boston. for a liberal sam
pie cake, together with a thirty-two
page book on the skin and hair.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities Of her
children, soon learns that health is in
q great measure dependent upon nor
NAL, healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss Of
appetite, restlessness during sleep, If
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences of physical disorder are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign Of constipation give the child a
teaspoonful of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night. If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits. and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh In
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively. and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.00
bottles. If you have never tried this
remedy, send for a sample to DR.. w.
B. Caldwell, POI Washington St.. Mon
ticello, Ill. He will gladly send a
trial bottle without any expense to
you whatever.

He is old. he has worked for living.
He has never gone back on a friend,
He has had very little for giving,
He has had very little to spend
He has never cut up any capers,
He always has lived with his wife,
he seldom IL named in the papers
And yet he's contented with life.
He has never bought Holsters and oysters,
He has never bought quarts of cham
payne,
Nor mixed with the party that ROSTERS.
Nor stayed out at night to raise Cain
why, his years have been totally quiet
And free from all stress and all strife,
He never with red pain ran riot
And yet he's contented with life.
His face has the happiest wrinkles.
Its ruddiness comes from good health;
His eyes have the merriest wrinkles
That are not from fun got by stealth.
His cheek bears a smile-gotten dimple,
He sometimes eats pie with a knife,
Has tastes are remarkably simple
And yet he's contented with life.
He jumbles his tense and his grammar,
He often says had saw and 'ain't,"
He speaks of play as ''drammer.'
The clothing he wears is quite quaint:
He has led the humdrummest existence
The kind that with dullness is rife
He barely has earned subsistence.
And yet he's contented with life.
Why, he's on good terms with his neigh-
bors,
He doesn't know pictures or books.
He gets small reward from his labors,
He doesn't care much for his looks
Some places they'd say he looked funny.
Gle doesn't look SO to his wife,
He thinks you can't buy joy with money
And yet he's contented with life.
