PHYSICIAN SAID ECZEMA
CAME FROM TEETHING

When my little girl was about eight
months old, she was taken with very
irritating breaking out, which came on
her face, neck and back. When she
first came down with it, 1t came in
little watery-like testers under her
eyes, and on her chin, then after few
days it would dry down in scaly, white
scabs. In the daytime she was quite
worrysome and would dig and scratch
her face nearly all the time.
Il consulted our physician and
found she was suffering from eczema,
which he said came from her teething.
l used the ointment he gave me and
without any relief at all Then l
wrote for book on Cuticura, and pur-
chased some Cuticura Soap and Oint-
1nent at the drug store. / did as
found directions In the Cuticura Book
let, and when she was one year old,
she was entirely cured Now she is
three years and four months, and she
has never been troubled with eczema
since she was cured by the Cuti-
cura Soap and Cuticura Ointment

Ointment are sold everywhere, a sam

Since the stork brought a little girl

of dignity before the sister came, has

Yet at times the feeling Of deprivR-
ton Of old-time attention will come to
the surface. Then the boy will take
himself to the darkest corner to be
found in the fat, push himself closely
up against the wall and begin to
whimper in low tones. Soon the
whimper, like the musical patrol, grad.
ually becomes more apparent. Then
from out of the darkness comes the
low plant:
'Muvver don't Ike me"
There is a cessation Of the whimper
for a moment; then it begins on a
more emphatic scale and again comes
In louder tones;
"Muvver don't like me-"
From this the protest goes into sob.

in most heart-breaking tones:

stood beside it, and across its back
hung what appeared to be suit Of
clothing. | saw no other signs of hui
man occupancy.
Convinced that the apartment was
deserted, and discovering no different
means of egress, crossed the room on
tiptoe, and peered cautiously out into
the hall. 1t was not a pleasing pros
pect to one in my predicament. The
lower portion, judging from the in
cessant hum of voices, was filled with
people, who were either unable to
find place within the crowded ball
room, or else preferred greater retire
ment for conversation Even the wide
stairway had been partially pre-
empted, a young lieutenant, as
judged from his shoulder-straps, sit
ting just beneath the landing, whis-
pered eagerly into the attentive ear
of a pronounced blonde who shared
the broad carpeted step with him.
l drew back noiselessiy, to figure
out the situation and determine what
was best for me to attempt. 1t would
be sheer madness to venture upon a
passage to the front door, clad as l
was in travel-worn gray uniform; to
rush through that jam was impossible.
If were to wait until the dance was
concluded the later hours of the night
might indeed yield me somewhat
clearer passage, yet 1t was hardly
! probable that the house, used as l
knew 1t to be for a military prison,
would be left unguarded. Besides,
such delay must absolutely prevent
my getting beyond the Federal picket
lines before daybreak, and would
hence render valueless the news l
sought to bear to Lee.
