ERUPTION DISFIGURED FACE

Lock Box 35, Maurice. 1a.-'1n the
spring of 1911 our little daughter, age
five years, had a breaking out on her
lip and part of her cheek that we
took for ringworm. 1t resembled
large ringworm, only 1t differed IN
that it was covered with watery DIS
ters that itched and burned terribly,
made worse by her scratching It,
Then the blisters would break through
and let out a watery substance. she
was very cross and fretful while she
had it and had very little rest at
night. When the eruption was at It's
worst the teacher of the school sent
her home and would not allow her TO
attend until the Disagreement of her
face was gone.
Il wrote and received sample OF
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, which
we used according to directions, and
they gave instant relief, SO We bought

the late General Sickles.
"A good man." he said, "a brave
man, but a most theatrical one. In

Sickles rebuke a man who was run

new "Y' MEMBERS

In accordance with a statewide cam
paign that Is to be waged by the Y. M.
c. A, it is probable that the mem
bership committee of the local associa-
ton will tnaugurate a membership
campaign this fall. No definite action
has been taken by the directors or the
membership committee, but according
to Secretary Learner the matter will
be given immediate attention.
Because of the increase in the ia
cilities of the boys department, it is
expected that this branch of the Y. M.
c. A. will be greatly strengthened this
fall and winter. A quiet campaign for
membership is being waged by Boys
Director Somerville, and it is antici-
pated that when the department is
opened up in it's new quarters in the
basement of the building, a large num-
Der of boys of the city will be added
to the membership of the association.
The extent of the improvements to
be made in the second floor of the
building is not known by Secretary
Learner. 1t was the original plan of
the "Y" officials to re-arrange the Sec
ond floor, but definite plans have not
been made. Work will be completed
on the improvement being made in the
basement by the middle of September
