BABY's TERRIBLE CONDITION

when my baby boy was six months
old, his body was completely covered
with large sores that seemed to itch
and burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or NO
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come of when removed his
shirt.
I'VE tried a great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment / used the Cuti-
cura Soap ana Ointment but short
time before could see that he was
improving. and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment although
we had tried several other things, and
doctors too. think the Cuticura
Remedies will do all that is claimed
for them, and a great deal more"

suitable either for natural or artificial
incubation. In short, the eggs should
be laid by mature fowls in the pink of

be OF good average size, neither too

In the incubating chamber, and
whether it records the air temperature

Turning.
During its growth the embryo floats
in the albumin SO that when an egg
is lying naturally on its side the en-
bryo is Immediately underneath the
highest part of the shell and is thus
in position to be most quickly and
effectively warmed when brooded by
the mother hen. In this position it is
easy for the membranes which sur
round the embryo to dry fast, or stick
to- the she'll membranes, and when this
takes place the egg either does not
hatch, or the chick is a cripple due to
It's unsymmetrical development. Turn
ing the eggs is for the purpose of
changing the position of the embryos,
thus preventing them from sticking to
the shell membranes The eggs should
be turned regularly twice each day.
Moisture and Ventilation.
In fertile egg there is life which
requires oxygen for its continued exs
istence. Oxygen is absorbed, and carr
bon dioxide is thrown off practically
in the same way as in the case of
adult animals The circulation of air
through the incubating chamber
should be rapid enough to supply suffi-
cient oxygen, and also to remove the
gases which are produced as a result
of the vital activity. On the other
hand, the circulation of air should not
be too rapid, as in that case too much
moisture might be carried away from
the eggs, thus injuring the hatch. Egg
shells are porous, and they allow the
watery contents to evaporate slowly.
If the eggs do not lose enough mois-
ture, the hatch is apt to be poor, and
the chicks weak-many of them dying
from non-absorption of the contents of
the yolk sack, while if the loss of mois-
turelis too excessive the hatch will be
injured. For best results the eggs
should neither lose too much nor too
little moisture. In practice there is

RETlREs ON A PENSION.
Miss Downer of WatervIle the First
In This Section to Be Favored by
Telephone Co.

Waterville, Me, Dec. 10.-(SpeelaD.
The first employee of the New Eng
land Telephone & Telegraph Co. in this
section Of the state to retire under the
provisions of the new pension scheme
of the company, is Miss Ella M.
Downer of this city, who officially re-
tired from the company's service, Dec.
l, but who is still helping out in the
office work, owing to absence of other
clerks.
Miss Downer completed 26 years OF
continuous service with the company,
April %, 1912. When she entered the
cempany's employ, the science of tele-
phony was in a crude and undeyeloped
state At that time the central office
was located in small back room over
cigar store. There We're 35 subscrib-
ers, and Miss Downer, with the assist
anee of a boy, formed the entire tele-
phone force in Waterville. Whenever
trouble occurred, man was sent up
from Augusta.
There were no metallic circuits. and
the only long distance" talking was
with Augusta and Skowhegan. The
company owned very few poles, the
wires being strung on housetops and
trees, and lines We're grounded and
subject to all sorts of troubles. With
the innovation of electric cars, lighting
service, the troubles on the oldstyie
switchboard We're more numerous than
ever. AT one period she was Obliged to
pass all her time at the board during
the day and work at her books at
night.
For the first eight years of Miss
powner's service, the business in
creased very slowly, but after that it
gained Roadway and went by leaps
and bounds. When Boston, New York
ana Chicago were reached successfully
by telephone, patronage increased rap
idly.
