Water BIisters
All Over Body For
Thirteen Years
Itched So Had to Tie Chi|d's Hands.
Very Cross and fretfuI. Hair
Came Out. Cuticura Healed.

my son was three years old when
water blisters began on his head, then
on his eyes, and then all over his body.
His skin was inhamed and red, and the
breaking out itched so that had to tie
mittens on his hands for he would scratch
and make it spread. He was very cross
and fretful, and kept me awake nights.
His clothing would stick to him and his
hair came off and was dry and lifeless.
The trouble lasted thirteen years.
He began to use Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, and in two weeks there was
hardly a pimple on my boy, and now
he is healed. (Signed) Mrs. Martha
L. Thomas. r. F. ID. 3, Chester, VT,

Use Cuticura Soap for toilet purposes,
assisted, now and then, by touches Of
Cuticura Ointment to soothe and heal
any tendency to irritation, redness or
roughness of the skin or scalp. BY using
these delicate, fragrant super-creamy
emollients for all toilet purposes you may
prevent many skin and scalp troubles
becoming serious.

EXPECT GERMAN OFFENSIVE.
Allies Are Getting Ready to Receive the
Blow.

London, Jan 3.-The probability OF
Germans now taking vigorous often.
sive attitude on the western front was
pointed out by Major General +. b
Maurice, chief director of military oper-
ations, at the war office, in his weekly
talk to the Associated Press yesterday.
There. were two factors that contrib
uted to this probability General Maurice
said the first being the steady flow of
German reinforcements from the eastern
front and the second the fact that the
American forces were not yet ready to
take any considerable part in the oper
ations.
The public should be prepared General
Maurice said. for some losses of both
ground and men if the Germans attack in
really determined offensive operations.
They would not, however. be able to in
fet any such losses on the allies as the
latter had inflicted on the Germans dur
ing the past year. he declared.

URGE MEN OF 81
BE REGISTERED
Crowder Urges Immediate
Step for All Who Have
Become Of Age
SINCE FIRST DRAFT
REGISTRATION
If This Is Done, 100000 Men
Will Be Added to
Class One

Washington, Jan. 4.--Immediate reg
istration for military service of all mer
who have become 81 years of age since
the first draft registration was urged
yesterday by Provost Marshal Genera
Crowder in his annual report to the sec
rotary of war.
If this is done and similar registrations
held each year 100000 physically fit men
OF class one, the provost marshal general
stated will be available for service every
IL months and this would not necessi-
tate taking men from the deferred eX
emption classes.
The policy and belief of this Office is
that in all probability it will be possible
to fill all our military needs from class
one the report stated.
Skilled labor and farmers viii be draft
cd from the deferred classes, Crowder
intimated. should the situation demand"
"'rhe situation in these respects il now
acute particularly in shipbuilding and
factories working on war munitions" he
added
1T is probable there will be a shortage
Of farm labor in the spring, although the
new draft regulations have relieved that
situation"
The first draft quotas were based on
the population, but Crowder asks that
the new basis be made the number Of
men found in class one in each district.
Dissatisfaction was caused in many dis
tricts under the last draft because the
large number Of aliens. all of which were
exempt. caused the quotas to be much
higher than the average.
The per capita cost of drafting has
been S493, which is about fourth
the amount it cost the government to
get each volunteer into the army.

Entertaining Without Sweets,

While sugar is scarce, honey will he a
welcome substitute in coffee, tea or cocoa
or fruit drinks and punches. Below are
given two recipes for using grape juice;
Grape Nectar-Take the juice of two
lemons and one orange, one pint OF grape
Juice and pint of water. Add liquid
honey to taste, about cupful. If served
from a punch bowl, sliced lemon and
orangs add to the appearance.
Grape Punch-To the juice of six lem,
ons and quart of grape juice add APP
polinaris, plain water or soda water, with
honey TO taste, about a eupful.
Sandwiches are always good for after
noon entertaining. All the various So
called relish sandwiches, such as those
made with olives, sliced onion, lettuce,
pimentoes, cheese and cress, are quite
sure to prove acceptable. Chopped red
pepper, canned. with cream cheese and
mayonnaise make one OF the best filings.
All of these sandwiches 90 well with

Crisp, toasted scenes or toasted muf
fins or toasted sliced bread may be served
with honey sweetened tea. The variety
OF fruit salads is great, and if you have
canned fruit of your own you can make
many combinations, Dress with mayor
naise, garnish with cress or with hearts
of lettuce and serve with Russian tea.
Rolled sandwiches. with a sprig Of cress
sticking out from one end. are always
very attractive. The filling may be
simply creamed butter.
A sweet omelet is another afternoon

hat is little known in this country, al |
though it is said to be very popular with |
European hostesses. Make a rich omelet, /
ising cream instead of milk and cooking |
i to pufiiness and just before folding |
over spread half OF one side with some
rome made jam, such as apricot jam or
pineapple jam, This can be made in the
presence of the guests, If one is very
kilful in manipulating the omelet, or
t can be made in the kitchen and brought

Ne very hot when served. This goes well
With plain bread and butter sandwiches.

Mr.. McAdoo said the Government

tention to the appointment by him OF a
labor board OF three labor and three
railroad men to adjust all inequalities
in the wage raise as an organization to
see that all Of them got even handed
Justice.
He continued: 1.-THE American people
have Just been called upon to pay largely
increased freight and passenger rates
for the purpose Of paying in part the In
creased wages amounting to more than
$500, ,00o,0 awarded to railroad em-
ployees.
Suppose they should strike against
the Government because they do not
think they are fairly treated In being
forced to pay these increases for the
benefit Of railroad labor. what would
happen to our country?
Suppose the railroad officers should
strike because they dislked the orders
Of the Government and should refuse TO
obey them, what would happen to them
"Suppose that railroad employees
should strike against the decisions OF
their Government and hamper the opera
tion Of the railroads at time when
transportation Is essential to protect the
hundreds OF thousands OF American
boys now fighting on tho batuehelds OF
Europe to save the lives and property
and liberty Of railroad employees serving

our country?
Tho Kaiser would probably get it.
We cannot all get exactly what We want
