TERRIBLE SCALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
Out-Cured by Cuticura.

II had an eruption appear on my
chest and body and extend upwards
and downwards, so that my neck and
face were all broken out; also my
arms and the lower limbs as far as
the knees. l at first thought it was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to physician |
purchased a complete treatment OF the
Cuticura Remedies, in which l had
great faith, and all was satisfactory
A year or two later the eruption ap-
peared again, only little lower; but
before it had time to spread | pro-
cured another supply Of the Cuticura
Remedies, and continued their use un-
til the cure was complete. 1t is now
five years since the last attack, and
have not seen any signs of return.

Colored Gloves.

Colored silk gloves will be found
much more economical than the white
ones.
They don't need so many washings
and therefore won't wear out as soon.
Besides costing the same price in
the beginning, as more perishable
sorts.
A navy blue silk pair, at so cents,
look well with any sort of blue or
blue-fgured frOck.
Tan silk ones go with brown, ecru
or almost any color dress.
Light gray silk gloves are almost
as dressy as white, and look well with
the gray or blue linens.
For the percales, lawns, etc, fig
ured in green, red, black or violet silk
gloves in these colors will be found
even prettier than white.
For wear every day to business they
are much more practical, as white
soils so distressingly easy.

Amber Comb Is in STYLE.

Amber Is taking the place Of gold in
women's combs. A blonde should
wear dark amber, brunette light am
ber, declared the hairdresser, for a
contrast is desired above everything.
For the back combs the tops are
finished with odd oval-shaped pieces
of amber resembling olives, and this
particular style is the only one recog.
nized by smart women just now. The
use of amber combs is an exceedingly
pretty fashion, too, because of the
glints of gold and brown in the amber
which harmonize with almost any
color of hair Combs of amber are not
SO very expensive, although the best
quality will cost as much as gold.

SECOND HAND MAIL BOXES.
Why Little Village May Have Big
Numbers in Its Post Office.

The man who was spending his
summer vacation in the country was
looking quizzically at the mail boxes
in the rural post Office.
Il did not know this was such
large place." he said. Il thought it
had a population of only about 1000,
but the mail box, numbers run much
higher than that, and | don't suppose
every one in town rents box either. -
The postmaster peered out of his
little barred window
Il can explain that, he said You
see the country post offices never
get new boxes, but we have those
left over when the city establishments
make over their Offices and get new
boxes. So you see lots of country
places are bound to have high num-
Der boxes.
although our numbers run over
1000, you won't find any less than
1000, some other country post office
drew the lower ones. | myself would
rather get the big numbers, for 1t
makes us seem like a bustling little
sity."

The man who breaches the best
sermon; the man who tells the fun-

hest store, or the man who makes
the best goods, soon finds that pee pie
come to him. Merit is the best ad-
yertisement in the world. People
sneak well of things they know are
good. They pass the good word
along.
The best breakfast food is "EGG-O'
SEE. for it contains all the life-giv-
ing properties of natures best food,
which is Wheat.
EGG.O-SEE is deeply in debt to
the thousands of wives and mothers
who use it in their homes, for these
good women tell their neighbors about
this great food.
Children and aged persons alike
are friends of EGG-O-SEE.
Merit and common sense are things
that advertise EGG-O-SEE most
EGG-O-SEE is cheap. A 1O-cent pack
age contains ten liberal breakfasts,
EGG-O-SEE is sold everywhere
Grocers must keep it if they want
to keep their good customers, for good
customers insist on buying EGG-O-
SEE.
The fact that no preparation, no
cooking, is required, makes EGG-O'
SEE very popular. Open the pack
age: put in as much as you ike IN
a dish; pour on milk or cream and
eat. 1t is delicious. 1t is wholesome
