Once when l was in Iowa l met Q

"As the wife said to her husband
when she wanted a sealskin." he
taunted, returning to the mound.
She came and stood over him as
he worked.
His spade struck something-and
her excitement grew.
"Oh, do hope it's mound builder!"
she cried excitedly.
The mayor grinned and kept dig

the distance. As she turned appre-

said soberly. raising the object upon

She gasped.
The man smiled.
'Oh!" from the woman.

The man took her gently by the

She stopped and sat down upon the

fury of the storm broke. The day
became as dusk. lighted only by the
vivid flashes Of anger that tore across
the sky. He felt the woman tremble.

RlNGWoRM ON SHOULDER

Box 1873, Downey. Cal.-"My little
boy Of eight years had what they
called ringworm on his shoulder and
the back Of his neck. 1t started in q
small pimple like blister and kept
getting larger till it was the size Of
dollar. One place was as large az
three silver dollars. They were round
and a mass Of watery blisters. Wher-
ever the water would touch It would
cause another blister. commencing an
other sore and so on. 1t was very
red and angry and would itch and
burn SO badly that he could not sleep
or, in fact, sit still at times. He
would cry when I would touch It.
When he would rub or scratch It Il
would look like chopped meat. His
clothing irritated It. I tried many
remedies. but It kept spreading and
itching. This was all before I used
Cuticura Soap and Ointment on It.
After the first treatment with Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment he was much
relieved, and they cured him in one
month.
my husband is a plumber and his
hands get scratched and cut, which
means sores II not treated. SO he
washes with Cuticura Soap and puts
Cuticura Ointment on his hands every
night, and that keeps them fine."

The companies found no popular
