DERMATITIs OR INFLAMNTA- TION OF SKIN ALL SAME

Eczema, called also teeter and salt rheum, means literally to boil out. It is a skin inflammation character ized by redness. itching, formation of papules, vesicles, which later be- come crusts or scales, and by weep ing or watery exudate.
 For many years the problem of distinguishing eczema from derma- titis puzzled me, but finally I had a happy thought. I asked number of eminent authorities a child-like question: "What do you mean der- lliatitis?" Each and every one of them took pity on mS amazing ig- norancc and launched into an ear- nest endeavor to enlighten me. Each and every one was still flotlndering when I left him muttering in his beard. I came to the conclusion,
 But not so easily as this would imply. You see, the common name. salt rheurn-at least 1t was formerly the popular name for eczema means watery discharge from the infiamed surface or rather salt wa-

 A little meat goes a long way in rich soup. Dired beans and peas also spread their valuable proteins generously over the soup plate.

How do these dinner menus sound to the woman who is determined to cut her meat costs without cutting the family protein nourishment?

 A lovely pale pink hand and el- bow cream is the consistency of whipped cream, leaves no oily re- sidue on the skin. It comes in a decorative jar, lasts surprisingly long time.
 For sallow skin or a complexion which shows tiny, pure white areas after exposure, stimulation cream often is efficacious. One reasonably mild preparation of this type is to be used twice week. Simply cleanse face and throat with cream. remove with soft tissues, then apply thin layer of stimulation cream. Leave on until skin begins to jingle, then remove quickly. Smooth on night cream and go to bed.

POOR LAND TO
THE POORHOUSE
Only One End to Planting
Crops Continuously on
Poor Land
LESSON IN SOIL EROSION

Planting poor crops continuously
on poor land may eventually lead to
the poorhouse, according to Soil
Conservation Service men. Soils
subjected to continuous cropping
of corn, cotton, tobacco, and other
clean-cultivated crops are impover-
ished by erosion, become thin from
the standpoint Of fertile, topsoil,
and often are unable to produce a
profitable yield When this hap
pens, farmers are apt to try the
next best thing. They choose a
less desirable crop and try to make
at least something off the land
Usually this is the first step in a
downward cycle. Usually it is not
long before the impoverished soil
fails to produce anything. That's
when farm lands are abandoned
and when soil erosion is allowed
to complete the ruin. The remedy
for excessive cropping is to retire
the badly eroding areas to grass
before the damage has gone too
far.
