From Terrible Eezema-Baby's Head
a Mass Of itching Rash and Sores
Disease Cured by cuticura.

"Our little girl was two months old
when she got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head
were all one sore. We used different
remedies but it got worse instead of
better and we thought she would turn
blind and that her ears would fall off.
She suffered terribly, and would
scratch until the blood came. This
went on until she was five months old,
then l had her under our family doc
tors care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old l started
to use the Cuticura Remedies and in
two months Dur baby was a different

born baby. She has not had a sign of

HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way In Which II May Be ldent'r'eo
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
long enough for a weather test II is
easy to tell If the paint used was maze
of pure White Lead or not. But such
helated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that VIII
tell the quality of the paint before II
and the labor Of putting 1t on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way In which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me
talIic lead; and, under intense heat,
such as is produced by a blow-pipe,
pure White Lead will ~resolveitself back
into metallic lead. If, however, 1t Is
not genuine White Lead, or If 1t con-
tains the slightest trace Of adultera-
ton, the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe" test Is an
absolute and final n
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone interested in painting
to make this test Of paint before using
1t, and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch
Boy Painter" trademark will always
prove absolutely pure under the elbow
pipe" or any other test. To make 1t
easy for you to perform the expert
ment they will send you free upon re-
quest a blow-pipe and everything nee
essary for you to make the test, to-

paint. Address, National Lead Com

CARAMEL APPLES Are GOOD.
Properly Prepared They Make a De
llehtful Variation.

Caramel apples are a dainty dish
served at a Boston restaurant which
caters to the feminine taste. To pre-
pare them:
Take six tart apples, one cup each Of
white and brown sugar. one-fourth
cup of cream, one large tablespoonful
butter, one cup chopped nuts, one cup
each of whipped can and water,
and tablespoonful g%ranulated gelatine.
Make a syrup of the graduated SUI
gar and water. Peel and core the APP
pies and cook them slowly until ten
der, in the syrup. Turn them often
and take care to keep them whole.
When done remove the syrup and add
the gelatin to the syrup. Place the
brown sugar, cream and butter in a
saucepan and cook to the firm ball
stage. Then add the nuts. Place the
prepared apples in a dish and fill the
centers and cover the top with the
caramel nut mixture. Then pour the
syrup around them and set on ice to
chill. When ready to serve, covered
with whipped cream, they are a de.
lightful variation of the common
baked APPLE.

~sINNER" CAN COME AGAIN.
ThIeFs Visit Resulted In Nice Margin
of Profit to Farmer.

II there are any more chicken
thieves like the one who entered his
hennery three weeks ago, Thomas In
graham Of Park Mills, N. Y, will glad
ly furnish a chart OF the grounds and
guarantee to tie up the dog. A few
mornings G Mr.. Ingraham entered
the hennery, and to his amazement
found a dozen fowls in place OF the
ones that he had missed after the
visit of the thief. He also found hang
ing to a nail in the building a scrawl
which said: Mister Farmer, l was
wicked when / stole them chicks of
you. but wringed their necks when !
hooked 'em from the roost, so could
put 'em back. Am awful sorry
done 1t, and will prove what 1 say by
bringing you other chickens which !
never stole. Them / took were COM
mon chicks, these are blooded. Never
will 1 steal any nor Sinner" With
such a conscience, the sinners resolu-
ton is evidence of good business judg-
ment, for Mr.. Ingraham says the
fowls he received are worth at least
twice as much as the ones whose
necks were "wringed" when they
were hooked"

Cracked Furniture.

Ugly marks caused by Sits or
cracked places on furniture are easily
filed in with beeswax and the mark
is never detected. In fact, this is how
furniture dealers cover such blemishes.
First slightly soften the beeswax until
1t is like putty, then press firmly into
the cracks, and smooth evenly with a
thin steel knife. OF course a putty
knife is best for the purpose, but a dull
case knife will do. S~andpaper over
the surrounding wood and work the
dust into the beeswax. This gives q
wood finish, or color, and when the fur
niture is vanished you will look in
vain for the blemishes. Often this de-
feet occurs in the panels of furniture,
headboards or beds and tables, so try
this method of mending and you will
be delighted with the result. It is bet
ter than putty, since putty soon dries,
crumbles and falls out, while beeswax
remains forever just where it is
placed.
