ECZEMA

You will be compelled to admit that the results of S.S.S.arereally amazing! MANY people Imagine that eczema or tetter needs only some external application on the skin in order to get relief. This is because the attention of the sufferer is so violently directed to the intense burning and itching •which accompanies this disease. Try as they may—permanent relief will never be theirs until the disease laden blood is thoroughly cleansed. We know there is one thing that steps eczema and that is more red-blood-cells! S.S.S. builds them by the million! You can increase your red-blood-cells to the point where it is practically impossible for eczema to exist. We know that as blood-cella increase in number, blood impurities vanish! We also know that night follows day. Both are facts! But have you,eczema sufferers, ever actually taken advantage of this wonderful fact? Thousands Just like you have never thought about it. Skin eruptions, eczema, with all its fiery, skin digging torture, and its soul-tearing, unreachable itching, pimples, blackheads and boils, they all pack (ip and go, when the tide of bloodCells begins to roll in! Blood-cells are the fighting giants of Nature! S.S.S. builds them by the million! It has been doing it since 1826. S.S.S. is one of the greatest bldod-cell builders, blood-cleansers and body strengtheners known ta us mortals! When you put these facts together,—thep to continue to have eczema and skin eruptions looks more like a sin than a disease. S.S.S. contains only vegetable medicinal ingredients. Because S.S.S. does build red-blood-eells, it routs eczema, clears the skin, builds firm flesh, fills out hollow cheeks, and gives you that more up and going appearance. S. S. R. is sold at aM good Jjji drug stores in two sizes. Tho larger site is more economical. P&T C Q Worlds Best jjj&Hr wL oloodMedicine

Spank ’Em, Love ’Em and Pray, Says Mother of Eleven Boys

Serene, Smiling Quiet Woman Gives Her Ideas of Rearing Children. Note—There are larger families In America than that of Mr. and Mrs. John X. Wegmann of New Orleans. But tho Wegmann family Is the, only one known in which there are eleven children all sons, and all living In tho twenty-four years of their married life Mr and Mrs. Weghann have never lost a child. Mrs. Wegmann. 45 years old. serene, smiling, quiet, devotes her life to her family and her church.. Here she telle of her ideals of motherhood, gained in bearing aid rearing this remarkable family. By Mrs. John X. Wegmann NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 19.—1 think it’s probably easier to bear and rear eleven sons than It is to tell how to rear them. I have to laugh when people ask me what my prescription Is for a happy family. I haven’t any prescription. I haven't any clever phrase that covers it all. All I know is that I’ve Just gone ahead and had eleven sons and reared them the best I knew how, with their father’s help. I've spanked them when they needed spanking—and every child needs spanking some time or other in its life. If in youth that child doesn’t get a necessary spanking of which the pain quickly passes but the memory of the principle of right conduct remains, that child later is going to get from life itself the sort of spankings that never stop hurting. Some of those late-in-life spankings bring complete wreck. Spanked When Necessary Yes, I’ve spanked where spanking was necessary. But I’ve reasoned with my babies where reason served better than punishment. And I’ve worked for them end with them, and loved them always,. If there Is any real secret in rearing children you’ll be proud of, I guess that Is it; loving them always. If you love them and they love you and you both know It, you'll find astoundingly few reasons for

the squabbling and quarreling that mars so many families. I believe, above everything else, that you can’t rear a family rightly without religion. Especially a big family. , Big families seem natural to my husband and me. He comes from a family of eleven children. I come of a family of twelve children. And both our families were devoutly religious as we are devoutly religious. Not Religious Fanatics But we try hard not to have our Children become religious fanatics. We want them to be what we think they are, normal, healthy, fun-lov-ing, game-playing boys. The back yard of our home looks like a school playground. Baseballs and bats, basketballs and goals, horizontal bars and parallel bars, trapezes and rings are all about the place. We’ve got a baseball nine and a football eleven In our own family. My oldest boy Is 23 years old. The

Mr. and Mrs. John X. Wegmann and Their Eleven Sons

■baby is 23 months old. And you can see the oldest out In that yard any day tossing and rolling a ball to the youngest. Everyone of our hoys will finish high school. After that the ones that want college and university can have It. The ones that want to go to work can do that. , My three oldest boys chose to go to work. Each one pays regular weekly board at home, and has his own bank account for the unquestioned use of his own money. Father’s Their Pal Their father is their pal—a sort of, big brother to them. There Isn’t anything in the world they don’t tall, over together. And I try to be something more to those boys of raone than just maternal authority. So many mothers seem to think that just because they have borne a child, that fact In itself is enough to make the child love them and be friend with them, all their lives. That isn’t even remotely true.

Children are an investment In love and understanding and friendship And ther are mighty few invest-

ments that will keep on paying dividends unless you work with them and guard them. I‘m proud of my boys. I was proud when Theodore Roosevelt, while he was president, wrote my husband. “Dear Wegmann:—Three cheers for the j Wegmann family. Sincerely, Theodore Roosevelt.” 'Mr. Wegmann framed that letter And we were proud, too, when His Gra<!e, John W. Shaw, Archbishop of New Orleans, personajly baptized our eleventh son. We were prouder yet when the Reverend Father Cummings, S. J., president of Loyola University, on the birth of our eleventh son, established the John X. Wegmann Scholarship, open to any poor Catholic boy. All my real Interests are my home and my babies and my church. They are enough to keep me busy and happy and interested. I think they ought to be enough to keep any woman busy and happy and interested. After she has discharged all her duties toward them, if she has any tim& left, it’s up to her what other interests, she may want. And that’s all the piescrlption I can give for a happy family life.
