TERRIBLE scALY ECZEMA.
Eruptions Appeared on Chest, and
Face and Neck Were All Broken
out-cured by CHticura.

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. / at first thought it was
prickly heat. But soon scales or
crusts formed where the breaking out
was. Instead of going to physician I
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 l pro-

Cure of Nervous Habits in Children


Curing the nervous habits or
tricks" of children is one Of the most
insistent problems facing parents.
The problem is made particularly diff.
tcult because the habits come so
quietly that we find them established
before we have really noticed them.
Some habits are caused by disordered
nerves, and in such case the doctor
must be consulted, Twitching of the
face or limbs, opening of the mouth,
blinking of the eyes, hesitation of
speech, are all indications that some.
thing Is wrong, and no child must be
punished for them. Indeed, mere pun
ishment never does any good either to
the tricks dependent on bad health or
on those of imitation. Defective sight
is the cause of many so-called tricks.
A child whose vision is faulty screws
up his eyes or scowls in his efforts to
adapt his powers of sight. In such a
case an optician or oculist should be
called in and the sight tested. A bad
habit is simply repeated action, and it
is only by persistently stopping it
that one can hope to eradicate it.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY NOTES.

Goggles are induced by straining
the eyes.
Don't use soda when shampooing
the hair. Eggs and hot water are all
you need.
To keep the hair fluffy and free
from oil give yourself a good, thor.
opgh shampoo every two weeks.
Thin arms should be washed twice
day with a fine lather of soap,
rinsed well, dried thoroughly and
then rubbed vigorously. This treat.
ment will bring the pores into action
and induce a healthy condition Of
the skin.
One Of the most delightful sachet
powders Is made by combining 5
cents worth Of powdered orris root
with 5 cents worth each of oil of
cloves and oil of lavender. Place in
small bag of paper or silk in the
dresser drawers.
Here is a remedy for calloused
feet: Salicylic acid, l dram; cocaine,
5 grains; collodion, p ounce. Paint
over the corn or bunion twice a day
and scrape away the superficial
growth at the end of three or four
days.
Wrinkles can easily be overcome
when they first appear. After they
become burrows and gullies it is a
difficult matter to erase them. The
newest and best complexion treat.
rlents are combination of scientific
massage and electricity.
When the hands are sore and bis
tered wash them in fresh buttermilk
and allow it to dry on the skin, as
it aids in whitening it. Slices of raw
cucumber, cut thick, peel left on, may
be bound on sunburned fingers at
night and do wonderful work in re.
storing the natural color.

VARIETY IN NECkWEAR,
Pretty Little Collars in Endless Styles
and All Are Fashionable.

1t is really impossible to mention
one-half of the pretty things in this
years list of styles. Many of them
are actual necessities and are re-
quired by the woman who is going
to look dainty as a sort of finish to
her gown.
The question of what to wear at
the throat is one which worries every
woman under the sun. The stock has
undoubtedly brought on many case

thing which every woman asks her.
self at least once a day.
The problem is partially solved by
the little stiff linen collar which
comes this year in wide variety as
well as in varying height. 1t is en-
broidered and buttoned around the
throat with small buttons and cor.
responding button holes. This serves
as sort Of foundation for the stock
which can be fastened over it.
There is really quite choice for
the woman who goes in for a variety
Of neck designs. She san tuck her
ruff, or she can embroider it. Or, if
she desires to do so, she can make
one of the fiat variety which lies
rather close to the neck and bust.
The shape of the empire fichu Is
long and pointed at each end, and is
cut so that it can be draped across
the back, over the shoulders and high
upon the bust. Here it is caught with
a chou of ribbon, deliberately tied in
one of the new bow knots, in which
there are many ends and very few
loops.

The Ace of Lead.


We are wont to speak Of this era
as the "age Of iron," and there is no
gainsaying that, industrially speaking,
iron is precious metal"
Nevertheless, few people realize
how useful, if not absolutely neces
sary, to modern civilization, is that
other metal, lead. Soft, yielding
pliable, it is not much like its sister
metal, but those distinguishing quail
ties are what give it such prominent
place in the arts and industries.
Modern plumbing, requiring many
turnings and twistings, but withal
tight joints, would be almost impos
sible without lead pipe. The great
est civilizing agent in the world-the
printing arts absolutely dependent
on lead. Hand-set type, linotype
"slugs," monotype type-all are
made Of compositions of which lead
IS the chief component-to say moth
ang of the bearings In the presses as
well as all other kinds Of machinery
in which "babbitt" metal is used.
Solder is another lead product
what a field Of usefulness that one
form opens up.
Then there is the most important
use of all to which lead is put-paint,
that necessary material which keeps
Dur houses looking pretty - inside
and Out-and preserves them from
decay.
How many Of US thank metallic lead
for the comforts Of paint? Yet the
best house paint is nothing but me.
tallic lead corroded by acid to a white
powder known as white lead" OF
course, there are many limitations of
white lead" some Of which are sold
as white lead and some which are
offered by the name Of ready-pre.
pared paint under the familiar pre-
tense that they are lust as good" as
white lead. But all good paint is
made Of the metal, lead, corroded and
ground to a fine white powder and
mixed with 1inseed oil.
White lead Is also used in the coat
ing OF fine oil cloths and for many
purposes besides paint.
"Red lead" is another product of
metallic lead and Is what Is known as
an oxide Of lead, being produced by
burning the metal. Red lead is the
best paint known to preserve iron,
steel or tin, and is used largely in
painting metal structures, such as
skyscraper skeletons, mills and
bridges.
There are many other products Of
the metal lead, such as litharge,
orange mineral, ETC., which are es.
sential to many Of the arts in which
we never imagine that lead would be
Of the least use.
Verify, we live in an age of lead
as well as Of iron.

THE STORY.

ONCE his return nothing had seemed
~ quite the same. and Hobab, in spite
of his unwillingness to admit 1t, was
dissatisfied. The old scenes and old
associates did not satisfy as they
used to do. He was surprised and
shocked at the change, and wondered
whether the reason was to be found
within himself or in the old home and
on a. riends. He had spent long time
win his brother-in-law, Moses, and
uncCnsciously had been influenced by
his associations with him to higher
ideals and to a more intimate kpowl.
edge of the true God.
Ever since his positive rejection
of Moses kind invitation to cast his
lot with Gods people he had felt
a strange unrest within his soul, as
though there was something there
demanding qualification which was
denied it. He had tried to fight the
feeling off by plunging more deter.
minedly than ever into the old life.
He was a man of much power and In.
fluence In indian, and more than ever
he sought to have the interests there
crafty his ambitions. New riches
and honors as result had come to
him during the years which followed,
but down deep in his soul there was
that sense of lack which annoyed and
troubled him.
When some untoward incident oc.
Cured among his people, such as the
robbery of some caravan from Egypt,
or the killing of some defenseless foe
and the taking of his possessions, he
would think within himself:
Things are not so among Moses
people"
1t was then that the invitation of
Moses would ring in his ears:
Come thou with us and we will do
thee good, for the Lord hath spoken
good concerning Israel"
And the halfformed resolve would
rise in his heart to go even at that
late day and join himself to Israel.
But each time as the thought had
come, he had turned to consider all
that he must leave behind, and his
heart failed him. He could not. He
would find the center Of his life and

the hospitality which is extended.
Since the announcement of her en-

Preparations for the wedding
