THREE CURES OF ECZEMA.
Woman Tells of Her Brothers Terri
BILE Suffering-Her Grandchild and
Another Baby also Cured
Cuticura Proved Invaluable.

"Niy brother had eczema three different
summers. Each summer it came out be-
tween his shoulders and down his back,
and he said his suffering was terrible.
When 1t came on the third summer, he
bought box of Cuticura Ointment and
gave it faithful trial. Soon he began to
feel better and he cured himself entirely
of eczema with Cuticura. A lady in In
diana heard of how my daughter, Mrs.
Miller, had cured her little son of terrible
eczema by the Cutcura Remedies. This
lady's little one had the eczema so badly
that they thought they would lose it. She
used Cuticura Remedies and they cured her
child entirely, and the disease never came
back. Mrs. Sarah L. Lusk, Coldwater,

Cream.of-CeIery Soup For Ten.


Cut in small pieces the leaves and
outer, green stalks of celery enough
to make three pints; cover with boil
ing water, heat the whole to the boil
ing point and let cook ten minutes;
drain off the water, add two quarts
of fresh water, half an onion and a
few slices of carrot, if at hand, and
cook until the celery is tender. Press
as much of the pulp as possible
through the sieve, the fibrous portions
will be left in the sieve. Scald five
cups of milk with the other half of
the onion. Melt one-fourth cup of
butter; in it cook half cup of -four,
two teaspoonfuls of salt and half
teaspoonful of pepper; stir and cook
until frothy, then add quart or
more of the PURGE (celery) cooled for
the purpose; cook and stir vigorously
until smooth, then add the rest of the
PURGE (made hot beforehand), and
stir until boiling; strain in the hot
milk; add also cup of cream If con-
venient and more salt and pepper If
needed. This soup is particularly
good, when less water is used in
cooking the celery, and the equiva-
lent of chicken broth is added to the
PURGE after it is strained. = Boston

COOL HEADS THE TOPIC

Now that the beautiful summer is steadfastly approaching, the thought which comes to our minds is, how on earth can we keep cool? If you ask some people that question they would tell you to go soak your head in a pail of ice water, or else they would invite you into some shee' bang and treat you to some fire Wa ter or other feculent liquid which will not only burn your insides, but make you hot headed also. To the reader of this adv we offer little monition and a few words on how to have a cool head. The human race all know there is nothing so refreshing on a hot day as a nice cool drink, and they also know that it's not necessary to have ice in it to have it beneficial. For instance our buttermilk never has ice in it and it's always cool and it's always beneficial to your health. Of course Ice drinks are refreshing for the time being, but if you drink hot cof- fee in the morning and hot tea every noon and night you'll find you'll be just as ccol and a blame sight more healthy all summer. Now If you never tried this way, try it this sum- mer and be sure and get the quality we sell at
