times these are disappointing.
A careful study of each case
is needed to find the exciting
cause. Once the trouble is start
ed, the simple removal of the
offending cause may not stop it.
Mrs. |. Z. F. of New York
says her seven-months-old baby
boy has had eczema since he
was two months old. At that
time, due to a severe attack of
tonsilitis, she was compelled to
wean the baby and feed him
with artificial food. Some days
his entire body is covered with
a red, pimply rash. This clears
up except for the ankles, knees,
and elbow points. Otherwise her
baby is healthy except that he
has had some boils and styes.
Fruit juices of any kind seem
to increase the trouble greatly.
Evidently this began as a food
allergy and probably still is.
The boils suggest that he re-
ceives too much fats and sugars
and she knows fruit juices are
partly responsible. They must
be eliminated for the present.
Her doctor could make
series of skin tests but it would
seem more logical to start with
the simplest of diets. Do not
give cod liver oil for a time.
Try adding one article after an
other to the diet and watch the
results. If anything seems to
excite the skin, drop it. Her
physician has given her an oint-
ment which helps. Many oint-
ments and lotions are available
for relief.

ECZEMA IN Infants DEMANDS SKILLFUL TREATMENT

hives and many skin diseases.
The direct cause is some local
irritant or some internal de-
rangement.
If a case recurs, it is prob
ably the result Of both local ir-
ritation and constitutional trou-
BILE. In children, Indigestion and
certain elements in the food are
often the exciting cause and
one attack pre-disposes to an
other.
AS in the case of ivy poison
ing, person may have been
free from it for a long time but
once they suffer from an attack
the skin becomes sensitive to
ivy and also to other irritants.
Many cases of eczema in chill
dren are the result Of faulty
diet. The indigestion Of fats
and starches is a frequent
cause. Excessive fats often in
duce moist eczema, while
starchcs cause the dry variety.
In obstinate cases of eczema,
the waste matter will be found
to contain excessive fat in sixty
per cent Of the cases; forty per
cent will show excessive starch;
twenty per cent too much
sugar, and ten per cent excess
sive protein.
Skin tests to determine the
foods or external irritations to
which the child is susceptible
are often very helpful, but at

ECZEMA in infants frequently
begins a few weeks after birth
and continues, becoming better,
then worse, and often persist
ing, for several years. Usually
it begins on the face and scalp
and may spread all over the
body. 1t starts as little blisters,
which rupture, allowing the lit
tie drops Of fluid to spread over
the surface where it dries and
forms crusts.
The skin between the scabs is
red and greatly irritated. Slight
irritations of the skin due to
use of strong or impure soaps,
too vigorous washings, as we'll
as unclcanliness often start the
trouble, which tends to become
worse.
Vigorous and constant treat
mcnt controls the acute trouble
but once started, the skin be-
comes exceedingly sensitive and
the red itchy rash crops out at
The most unexpected times.
Very frequently, after the acute
symptoms have subsidized, dry
scaiy patches remain at the
bend of the elbows, knees, on
the feet, hands and behind the
ears.
Eczema is one of the most
frequent of skin diseases in in
fants and attacks rich or poor
alike, girls and boys equally. 1t
makes life miserable for the
poor baby and nightmare for
his parents and nurses.
The tendency to eczema is
often inherited, just as the
tendency to asthma, hay fever,

pride when l heard that the

heroes and had died nearly to

They saved it-and General

William Howe, my Lord Percy
and General Clinton with over
whclming force had them trap

sorry to hear such barbarous
news of them. l heard Sir Guy
Carleton say gravcly that it
would have been better policy
for the British to have given
better quarters and shown
moro mercy in battle.
We had news, also, of Won
Donop's chasseurs and grena-

fire had wasted part of the

 WATR covered through facilities of affiliated Connecticut Broadcast ing System stations in Hartford, New Haven, and New Britain, the situation in these three cities. A Connecticut Broadcasting system representative gave an eye witness account of the Hartford flood from atop the towering Travellers building in downtown Hartford. Similar broadcasts were heard from New Britain and New Haven with graphic reports of the widespread ruin on the shores of Long Island Sound eminat.ng from the New Haven broadcasts.

 songwriters, not band leaders
 or jitterbugs, set the musical
 styles for America, in the Opin-
 ion of AnsOn Weeks, noted dance
 band leader heard over NEG
 net work. "SOngwriters," he
 says, don't follow trends. Long
 before swing became popular
 they were experimenting in that
 vein. They had no market for
 their songs, however, and so
 they published music that would
 sell. When the first successful
 swing tune went over, others
 were dragged out of the writers
 portfolios and the public
 thought 1t had created a style"
 Weeks predicts a return of sweet
 music, prophesying the decline
 of swing within the next season.
