No Matter What Color.
The flnest contour of a female face, the
sweetest smite of a female mouth, loses
something if the head i:> crowned with
scant hair. Scant and filling hair, it Is
now known. Is caused by a parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where It saps the vitality. The lit
tle white scales the germ throws up In
burrowing are called dandruff. To cure
Jandruff permanently, then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ most be killed.

CUTICURA TO ALL
y* " I have had eczema for over fifteen
years, and have tried all sorts of remedies
to relieve me, but without avail. I stated
my, case to one of my friends and he
recommended the Cuticura Remedies. I
bought them with the thought that they
would bejmsuccessful, as with the others.
But after using them for a few weeks I
noticed to my surprise that the irritation
and peeling of the skin gradually
'decreased, and finally, after using five
cakes of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of
Cuticura Ointment it disappeared
entirely. < I feel now like a new man, and
I would gladly recommend these reme
dies to all who are afflicted with skin
diseases. - David Blum, Box A, Bedford
