BABY HORRIBLY BURNED
" •
By Boiling Grease—Skin All Came Off
One 8ide of Face and Head—
Thought Her Disfigured for Life,
Used Cwticura: No Scar Left.
“My baby was sitting beside the
fender and we were preparing the
breakfast when the frying-pan full of
boiling grease was upset and it went all
over one side of her face and head.
Some one wiped the scald with a
towel, pulling the entire skin off. We
took her to a doctor. He tended her
a week and gave me some stuff to put
on. But it all festered and I thought
the baby was disfigured for life. I
used about three boxes of Cuticura
Ointment and it was wonderful how
it healed. In about five weeks it was
better and,there wasn’t a mark to tell
where the scald had'been. Her skin
is just like velvet. Mrs. Hare, 1,

England, March 22, 1908.”

“Hands up!” hissed the head of the

“Your wife’s pug dog.”

Might Look for Recovery.
The following was told of the pa-
tient of a well-known New York phy-
sician:
The patient an elderly gentleman,
became quite 111 while the doctor was
absent upon a vacation, the indisposi-
tion being the result of too freqtfent
potations. A female nurse was at once
engaged to care for him in his hotel.
A lady, residing hi the same hotel,
became aware of his illness, and in-
terested herself to the extent of one
morning inquiring concerning his con-
dition of the chambermaid.
“Shure, ma’am,” replied Maggie,
“an’ I think he do be getting along
very well. The nurse was sittin’ on
his lap this mornin’!”
His First Visit
The wide check of his suit and his
monocle* proclaimed his nationality
from afar. His first Ainerican ac-
quaintance, met on the steamer, had
supplied him with an Immense amount
of strange and wonderful information
about the United States.
“And since you are an Englishman,”
It was .explained, “every store will at
once charge you from five to ten times
what they would ask an American.”
“Eh! What?" said the Britisher,
aghast, and then with a look of great
cunning: “Bat. my word! I shawn’t
tall them, don’t you know!”

CONGENIAL WORK
And Strength to Perform It
A person in good health is likely
to hare a genial disposition, ambition,
and enjoy work.
On the other hand, If the digestive
organs have been upset by wrong
food, work becomes drudgery.
“Until recently,” writes a Washing-
ton girl, “1 was a railroad stenog-
rapher, which means full work every
day. ♦
“Like many other girls alone In a
large city, I lived at a boarding house.
For breakfast it was mush, greasy
meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc.
“After a few months of this diet I
used to feel sleepy and heavy in the
mornings. My work seemed a ter-
rible effort and Lthought the work was
to blame—too arduous. ‘*~
“At home I had heard my father
speak of a young fellow who went
long diBtances.ln the cold on Grape-
Nuts and cream and nothing more for
breakfast.
“I concluded if It would tide him
over a morning's heavy work, it might
help me, so on my way home one
night I bought a package and next
morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk
for breakfast.
“I stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less
than two weeks I noticed Improve-
ment. I can’t just tell how well 1
felt, but I remember I used to walk
the 12 blocks to business and knew
how good it was simply to live.
“As to my work—well, did you ever
feel the delight of having congenial
work and the strength to perform it?
That’s how 1 felt. I truly believe
there’s life and vigor in every grain of
Grape-Nuts ”

"How to Build Rural Telephone Lines**
This Bulletin explains clearly how a rural telephone system is bnilt
and operated, and it also contains fall information as to costs.
In a Farmer's Mutual Company a fe# day's labor an
Investment of about $25. per subscriber, will purchase all material
and build an absolutely standard system.
A Rural Telephone is an investment,* not an expense. The
pound more than the traveling buyer offers you, has paid for its en-
tire cost. If you have some nay down all'ready ttifgtf fnr; it is worth
something to have a telephone with which to call on Neighbor Smith “for a lift” before the storm breaks.
The Rural Telephone pays for itself each year and we have brought the initial cost within the. ,
reach of every farmer. Present prices are especially favorable and thousands of Farmers' Mutual Com-
panies are now organizing so as to build their lines this Spring. Write US to-d«y.
