CUTCURA Speedily Cures.

My mother has been a victim to ulcers from
varicosc veins for thrty-fve years. Eleven OF
these terrible sores have existed at one time ON
the limb affected. Excsuciating pain and intense
suffering were endured, with all sorts of remedies
on trial and numberless physicians calls and
prescriptions applied, but all practically with
but t.le benefit. However, at last the remedial
agent was found IN CUTIcURA (ointment), which
surely proved its weight in gold, alternating pain
and causing healing processes to commence and
q cure speedily effected. She has, also, used
CUTICURA with marked benefit in erysipelas
of the face and eczema. The CUTICURA SOAP,
also, has established record only as the best
cleansing, purifying, and healing in it's nature,
having proved itself most excellent and yalu-
able auxiliary to the CuTIcURA (ointmen0.

being satisfied of their purity, genuineness, and

Cleanliness.

We have frequently insisted upon
she necessity for absolute cleanli-
ness, in favor of which too much
cannot be said. Cleanliness covers
a large part of sanitary labor.
Cleanliness that is purity of air,
cleanliness that is purity of water,
cleanliness in and about the house,
of the person, Of dress, of food and
feeding, in work, in habits of indi-
vidual man and woman, cleanliness
Of life and conversation, purity of
life, temperance-and by the latter
wetmean moderation-all these are
IN mans power. The clean man or
woman, will, other things being
equal, be the healthy one. Modern
knowledge of bacteria has given
enormous impetus to cleanliness in
medicine. Surgeons now disinfect
their instruments more carefully
than ever, so as not to have them
carry infection to their patients.-

THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
Its Abolition Is a Grievoux Wrong to

Its Abolition Is Grievoux Wrong to
the Children.
This is an evil which has crept in
with the tendency to centralize the
schools. When in any place the schools
begin to Overflow, a movement to put
up larger building takes place, accom-
panied by an effort to create high
school department, not SO much the
need of the community as the ambitious
dream Of some principal who would be
superintendent or some sort of central
sun to group Of satellites.
This dream is too easily realized, be
cause it fatters the people. Then there
rises preposterous structure Of stone
and brick. A house of many gables, out
of keeping with everything, either pub.
lie or private, in the place; temple Of
vanity. Now is rung the knell OF the
school playground, for the new "high
school," although it will house all the
children from to Is, must needs be
surrounded by fine lawn, studded
with shrubbery and threaded by blue
stone roads. The janitor has to employ
an assistant to keep the grounds in or
der.
A shut in, penitentiarylike place has
been evolved by the architect and school
committee, gratifying to their pride
and deep wrong to the children
There are many wrongs about it. The
one insisted upon here is the abolishing
Of the recess, that time henored JOY of
the American schoolboy and schoolgirl.

Rules For Butter Making.


The practical part of cream ripening
Is this: Keep your vessel so that it may
all ripen evenly and thus avoid loss in
churning. Raise the temperature to 6s
or 6S degrees and keep it as near that
temperature as possible until ripe, and
then cool before churning. Well ripened
cream should be coagulated OF thicken-
ed. It should run from height i'll
smooth stream, like oil. When pad
die is dipped into it and held in the
hand, it should stick all over in
thick, even coat, not running off in
streaks and showing the surface of the
paddle. When the last drops run off the
paddle back into the vat, they should
leave little dints or Expressions ON the
surface, which do not close up for an
instant. The cream should have o satin
gloss or fresh surface. Churn until the
gnanules are the size of wheat kernels;
then draw off the buttermilk and wash
through two or three waters, whirling
the ohurn q few times around. Use from
pint to quart Of water per pound Of
butter. Have the water at tempera-
ture Of 40 to 40 degrees In hot weather
and from so to 81 degrees in winter.
