1t has been proven to us be-
yond the possibility Of a doubt
that a new medicine quickly
clears up the worst skin afiec-
tons. Its work seems astonisf-
ing, amazing, almost miraculous.
ut is a specific formula which.
because of its discovery by DR..
Decatur Dennis, is known as ID.
d. .D.") Its actual record sounds
like a story of magic. But there
is no room for doubt about it
whatever; full proofs, indisput-
able in every respect, have been,
submitted regarding hundreds of
cases among them the two cases
illustrated in this announcement.
The one case shown here of the
adult (Mr. Charles Jacobs. psor-
iasis of many years standing)
was cured in 45 days. The other
case of the boy { Sammy Minkey)
was cured in three weeks. The
results are not only complete, but
permanent: in the case of Mr..
Jacobs, which was one of the
earliest cured after the discovery
of this medicament, it is now
nearly three years since the dis
ease was cleared out of the skin,
and no faint of it has appeared
since.

Any blotch in the skin which

water are no protection. When
ever the skin becomes weakened
or impaired, then these parasites
are likely at any time to attack,
and if conditions are just wrong
they will thrive and some form
of skin disease will result. AL

To clean a carpet have 1t taken ZIP
and well shaken or beaten. Have the
floor scrubbed and when dry relay the
carpet. Now take two buckets Of
warm water, one clear and the other
soapy. Two ounces of good yellow
soap dissolved in two gallons Of water
will be the right mixture. Wash the
carpet bit by bit, first with the soapy
water and a clean rag and then, after
taking up as much of the suds as pos
soble, rinsing 1t with clear water and
drying 1t with a clean cloth. Change
the suds in the rinsing water. as
they become dirty and take care to
rub only the pile so that the water
may not penetrate the carpet more
than is necessary. The great point to
be remembered is not to attempt to
wash too large portion at once, for II
should be dried quickly to prevent the
colors running.

white taffeta silk, measuring when
folded exactly half an inch each. There
are three Of these, one above another,
connecting by little railroad Of her
ring-bone embroidery, in coarse white
embroidery silk. There is a wire stiff
ening beneath the chin, and at the
ends, which hook together. In the
middle Of the front of the collar there
extends downward a heart ornament,
four inches deep in the middle. This
is formed Of the folded taffeta, which
makes the heart, and the interior is
composed of three lace motifs" each
one violet shape, twice the natural
size. The violets are connected with
each other, and with the heart which
frames them. by lines of herring-bone
embroidery in white silk.

The washing of flannels, like the
making Of mayonnaise or puff paste.
seems a matter of extraordinary skill,
and good deal of uncertainty under
any conditions. But, as a matter of
fact. it is extremely simple. Flan-
nels may be washed in very hot wa
ter or in water barely warm with equal
success. The main thing to be OBJ
served is that they be not subjected
to more than one temperature during
the process. Shave plenty of fine
white soap into warm water. which 1t
Is well to soften with a little ammo
mia. The ammonia serves the purpose
of helping the cleansing and, therefore.
doing away with some Of the rubbing.
Soak the garments 10 minutes and be-
gin to squeeze and press them in the
water. A great deal of the dirt will
come out at once. Put them through
at least two soapy waters and rinse in
clear water, all of the same degree Of
heat. Never let soap touch them. and
do not rub on a washboard. Pull into
shape and dry in warm room. Iron
on the wrong side while quite damp.
1t is a good idea to have forms for
stockings, and no ironing is necessary
when these are used. Woolens washed
in this way will remain soft and
loose as long as thread of them is
left.-New York Post.

every other woman whose occupation

feels the need Of a protective apron.
This very excellent model was de-
signed with direct reference to such
need and Is emlnently servlceable and
satisfactory at the same time that
1t is tasteful. The original is made OF

gingham and all apron materials are

The apron is made with fronts and
backs that are gathered at their upper
edges and finished with bands that
serve as yoke. To these bands are
attached others that form shoulder
straps and which serve to keep the
apron in place. A single button and
buttonhole make the only fastening

Tidy Wrists in Fashion.

Tidy wrists are once more in FASH
ion. No longer will the girl or man
who wishes to be strictly correct In
their attire go with their gloves flop
ping down over their hands.
The Hopping days, happily, are q
thing Of the past.
Gloves buttoned simply and neatly
are once again seen on every man,
woman and girl who is particular
about personal appearance or who de-
sires to be perfectly proper in the
least details of the toilet.
The reign OF the Hopping glove has
really been short.
It is seldom that a fashion is fem
mime and at the same time masculine,
but the untidy, slouchy glove knew
neither sex, youth, age, color nor pre-
vious condition.
1t was worn, despite its ugliness,
by one and all alike. The particular
pains that men and women for
months past have taken to turn back
their gloves, smooth them out and pat
thch Ntil uOWu iuJO Shdpc upou thc
back of their hands seemed worthy Of
a better and prettier fashion. Then,
too, their efforts took much energy,
for the attention that gloved hands
have seemed to require has been
ceaseless and unending.
But all this is over and at an end.
Wherever the well dressed woman, and
the we'll dressed man are seen today
especial attention seems to have been
given to their handwear. The wrists
Of the gloves are buttoned securely
and fast. At least they are for the
theatre, concerts, church and for all
formal affairs. On the links they still
continue to flop. for 1t was there that
the shabby fashion started. But as
those who are seldom or never on a
golf course soon took up the style,
the fashionables have once again but
toned their gloves.-New York Ameri-

comes. On hof mental retina clearly
defined is the model of her ideal self,
and WIN this as guide the result is
that combination of all that is fetching
and fitting which the world calls
smart.
What is the New York girl wearing
right now?
Well, to begin with, she has intro
duced an entirely new idea in her
everyday hat. She does not trim it
that is, not in the way hats are usual
ly trimmed. She buys a medium-sized
hat of either soft, silky beaver, rough
camel's hair or fine French felt, and
instead OF arranging the trimming
about the crown she merely edges the
rolling brim with a narrow binding OF
FUR or black velvet, then at the back,
where the brim turns up. she fastens a
smar't-looking bow Of either velvet or
fur This Is all, not another bit of
trimming does the hat show. In hats
OF this sort the white-and-black COM
bination is especially favored, though
the white or biscuit.color hat with
deep brown is equally good style.
When the hat is white or biscuit-color
and the binding and bow brown, fur.
rather than velvet. Is always used

pliable and unique, have an added val
ue in that they are more lasting than
artificial flowers. Pinked out ruch-

form of trimming. 1t is used on the
