AWFUL PSORIASIS IS YEARS.
Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches All
Over the Body-Skin Cracked and
Bleeding-Cured by Cuticura.

81 was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-fve years. 1t was in patches
all over my body. used three cakes
of Cuticura Soap, six boxes of Oint-
ment and two bottles of Resolvent
In thirty days 1 was completely cured,
and I think permanently, as it was
about five years ago. The psoriasis
first made its appearance in red spots,
generally forming a circle, leaving in
the center a spot about the size of
silver dollar of sound flesh. In q short
time the affected circle would form
a heavy dry scale of white silvery
appearance and would gradually drop
off. To remove the entire scales by
bathing Or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and
a light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust
would form again in twenty-four hours.
1t was worse on my arms and limbs,
although it was in spots all over my
body, also on my scalp. If I let the
scales remain too long without remov-
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. / suffered in
tense itching, worse at nights after
getting warm in bed, or blood warm
by exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable. W. NJ. ChidesteT, Hutch

HOW TO ARRANGE CUT FLOWERS

knot of snowy hair. The whole picture
fixed itself in memory once for ALL
Mrs. Thaxter's rule for arranging cut
flowers was inflexible Each vase held
flowers of a single variety, relieved only
by their own foliage. The flame-like
nasturtiums were massed in vases deep
enough to afford plenty of water for the
stems and flaring top that the flowers
might not be crowded. With them were
few of their own green leaves. Carna-
tons were arranged in tall vases of crys-
tai clearness. Roses were in bowls.
Fleur de lis were in Opaque jars, the rule
being in every instance so to mass the
flowers as TO give an effect of breadth
and color
Flowers should never be crowded
Sometimes single rose or a single lily
should have vase to itself. When flow
ers are arranged in clusters or punches
they may be contrasted but no one
should try to group too many tints or too
many flowers in one vase, cup or bowl.
Certain small flowers may be kept in
wide low platters with a bordering OF
ferns or green moss. In their arrange
ment for home ad0rnment it is we'll to re-
member that the smaller and more deli
cate posieS are prettiest for the desk and
the dressing table, while for decorative
purposes as for a wedding or a recep-
ton larger flowers lend themselves bet
ter to larger effects.
Do not fear that you will lose flowers
by cutting them The more you cut the
more you will have AS rule, plant
exhausts its possibilities of bloom if its
flowers are left to wither and it speedily
runs to seed. Fresh flowers for the table
and the draWing-rOom may be had every
day for the picking at this season, the
wild denizens of the field taking rank
with the finest cultivated specimens when
brought in doors and tastefully arranged.
No flower should be kept in house aft
er it has lost it's freshness. A stale bo-
quet hints too strongly of decay and
death.
If the daughter or sister whose privi-
lege it is TO keep the house beautiful with
flowers will change the water and wash
the vases every morning and will clip q
tiny bit from every stem, she will find
her toll repaid by the enduring qualities
