OF BAD CASE OF ECZEMA

He writes from Baltimore as follows:i
Il am a police officer and had long
suffered from bad case of Eczema OF

Il was under treatment by eminent
physicians fer long time without
success. Last summer Hancock's Sui

recommended to me and my hands i'm
proved on the first application. After
a weeks trial l went to the Johns
Hopkins Hospital to have my hands

CHILDREN LOVE
SYRUP Of FIGS
It is cruel to force nauSeatlng,

Look back at your childhood days.
Remember the dose" mother insisted
on-castor oil, calomel, cathartlcs.
How you hated them, how you fought
against taking them.
With our children it's dlnerenC.
Mothers who cling to the old form OF
physic simply don't realize what they
do. The children's revolt is well-found-
ed. Their tender little 'insides' are
injured by them.
If your childs stomach, liver and
bowels need cleansing, give only DELI
cious California Syrup of Figs" It's
action is positive, but gentle. Millions
of mothers keep this harmless fruit
laxative" handy; they know children
love to take it; that it never fails to
clean the liver and bowels and sweet
en- the stomach and that teaspoonful
given today saves a sick child tomor-

of California Syrup of Figs, which
has full directions for babies, children
of all ages and for grown-ups plainly

New way Of Preserving Eggs.

A new way OF preserving eggs has
been practiced In Bavaria recently
which is said to be satisfactory. The
eggs are placed in water of tempera.
ture of about 95 degrees for quarter
of an hour. Then they are put on a
net, held for five seconds in boiling
water, and then, as quickly as pos
sible. removed into cold water. The
eggs, still wet, are laid on a clean
cloth and allowed to dry by exposure
to the air They must not be dried
off with a cloth or towel. When they
are dry they are packed in box with
bran and ground peat. The box is
stored in a cool place, out of reach OF
frost. Eggs thus preserved in June
were found to be perfectly fresh next
March. -Up-to-Date Farming.
