II had eczema for over two years.
I had two physicians, but they only
gave me relief for short time and
cannot enumerate the ointments and

les were one mass of sores. The itch
ing and burning were so intense that
! could not sleep. could not walk for
nearly four months. One day my hus-
band said had better try the Cuticura
Remedies. After using them three
times I had the best nights rest in
months unless l took an opiate. I

CARE OF the KITCHEN. 3
Clean Walls Are an Essential "a
Sanitary Cooking. II

It Is not only important to know
how to cook, but it is equally impor.
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months sometime for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have light tint that the mer-
est fleck Of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. It is all folly expecting
clean food in q kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it IL mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue is constantly flecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
favored with glue made from horses
aoofs Is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
tsfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly In the spring and tall of each
year with a light tint.
The care OF the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
with hot water. If there are ant
holes or any other insects in the pan.
tries a thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the tncursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.

Brace fer Round Shoulders.

The simplest and probably the bes,
shoulder brace is made of two loops
of webbing connected with a straight
piece of the same material. The arms
slip through the loops and the straigi!:
piece passes across the back. The
brace simply serves as a reminder CT
the STOPPING position and does no,
claim to hold one up. The feeling o!
energy and self-respeet is better than
any brace.
Lack oi energy is shown plainly in
the carriage. There is somethin.,
wrong with the mental attitude CT !.
girl who allows her shoulders to droop.
Round shoulders are more often due
to Indifference to ones appearance
than to weakness or hard labor. The

HAVE RIGHT OF WAY
WARRINGTON OFFICIALS ABOVE
COMMON PEOPLE.
Elevators In Public Buildings Run
Mainly for Their Convenience
Amusing Point in Contest for
Senate Reading Clerk.

'There are many wrinkles in Off.
cial life in Washington which afford
those who are acquainted with them a
certain amount Of amusement" said
local newspaper correspondent,
and one of the funniest, from the
standpoint of those not interested di.
rectly, has been the contest for the
selection of the reading clerk to the
senate.
THAT the official whose duty it is
to decide the question as to the for
tunate man who would pull down the
plum, after listening to the varying
voices of the 80 contestants, was
obliged to take rest for a few days
to recover his normal condition can
be readily understood by all who are
familiar with such things at the
capitol.
But that he should have found
three members of the nations high
est law-makfng body who were re.
quested to act as committee to de.
termine the merits of the respective
contestants, who had not made rec
ommendation for the vacancy in ques.
ton, is as astonishing as it is un-
usual In that not single senator
could be found who had not made a
recommendation.
LAS a rule, when a vacancy oc-
ours at either end of the capitol, the
difficulty senators and representatives
have is in deciding which one of the
dozens of applicants shall be shown
the preference of recommendation
This selecting committee of three
will go down in capitol history as
unique.
Official authority in the depart
ments is thrust upon one at every
angle of the corridors and rooms OF
these big buildings and forms bar
riers over which both the initiated
and the unwary stumble, but it is sell
dom that it penetrates into the ele
| vators.
II happened in one of the elevators
of one of the larger department build
ings the other day. 1t was at an
hour when the car was crowded with
clerks going to work. After the door
had been shut and the car had ascend
ed almost to the first floor there
came violent ring at the bell and
the conductor, reversing the lever
dropped back like shot to the ground
floor, took in another passenger and
jumped the car to the fifth floor
where the late conner alighted. Then
the car slowly descended, floor by
floor, to permit the wrathful clerks
to get out
The hurry-up passenger happened
to be one of a half-dozen or so bu
reau officers, whose official authorit,
gives them the right to make 3
runaway trip with any elevator they
happen TO strike, irrespective OIL
the corridor destinations of the
rest OF the passengers, but the scene
and sensations of being wlisked past
your floor, despite your calls to the
elevator man, were more aggravating
than amusing. Some bureau officers
however, show the other passengers
in car the courtesy of allowing it
to stop from floor to floor; Others
don't"
