WATERY BLlsTERs ON FACE

Smithville, Ind.--"Six months ago
our baby girl, one year old, had few
red pimples come on her face which
gradually spread causing her face to
become very irritated and fiery red
color. The pimples on the childs face
were at first small watery blisters, just
q small blotch on the skin. She kept
scratching at this until In a few days
her whole cheeks were fiery red color
and instead Of the little blisters the
skin was cracked and scaly looking
and seemed to itch and burn very
much.
I'VE used number of remedies
which seemed to give relief for a short
time then leave her face worse than
ever. Finally we got cake Of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box OF Cuticura Oint-
ment. washed the child's face with
very warm water and Cuticura Soap,
then applied the Cuticura Ointment
very lightly. After doing this about
three times a day the itching and
burning seemed entirely gone In two
days time. Inside of two weeks time
her face seemed well. That was eight
months ago and there has been no re-
turn Of the trouble" (Signed) Mrs.
A. X. Wooden, Nov. 4, 1912.

Mildred looked straight out over the
mountain for a long while before she
spoke again. At length she turned to
the young man and, fixing her candid
eyes on his, she said:

may I not use your phone to tell my
paper what l have learned so far and
then you can tell me the rest. II IS an
afternoon paper, you know, and we

Mildred took him TO the telephone

the visitor. Ten minutes later Farms
