BLlSTERS ALL OVER BODY

Hollene, New Mexico.-"Our little
boy first broke out in little yellow
blisters about the size of pin heads
and they itched and hurt SO badly he
could not rest day nor night. In few
days they were running sores and
kept spreading until they were as
large as a dollar. He had them all
over his body and was nearly tortured
to death, as they hurt him so badly he
could hardly sleep. He would scratch
and cauee great sores all over his
face and legs.
I'VE tried several highly recon-
mended remedies but they didn't seem
to help him bit. Nothing seemed to
do any good until we got Cuticura

HINTS FOR THE AUTO GUEST
Some Things Wise to Observe If One

Friend.

Do not try to prescribe the spot for
stopping when errands are to be done.
The cheuffeur may choose the hottest
in sight, while tree which casts a
celestial shade may be a rod or two
away. But it is not yours to question
the why's and wherefores, Kate Epson
Clark writes in Leslie's.
IL you are asked whether there is
any special drive that you prefer it is
safest not to prefer any. The one
you dote on is sure to be full of torn
up roads. or it is too far for the time
available, or it is too hard on the

ing. Say nothing also If he runs over
hen or dog or any object.
Be very enthusiastic over the
scenery and public buildings, especial
ly If you are in the friends town for
the first time. Friendships have some
times been broken, and very often
cracked, because a visitor has criti
cised the local soldiers monument"
or has failed to note that the stained
memorial window which is the pride
of the family church is a work OF i'm
perishable art.
Be careful "all around" about MAX
ing remarks upon what you see. Do
not try to be witty upon the houses
and people you pass. If you do, you
will be sure to strike a blow at some

up.
What do you care If you do pass

you back to New York in an automo-

from coast to coast!"
Moran gave his friend a sour look
and went back to the Tuberculosis
