FOR THE AUTO TRIP.

Lunch Baskets With Complete Service
For a Picnic Meal.
No need for being inconvenienced
either by hunger or thirst when on an
auto trip these days If the latest lunch
con or tea basket is taken along.
There have been fitted baskets for
auto picnics on the market heretofore,
but anything like the compactness, the
completeness and the attractiveness Of
some recent importations it would be
difficult to match.
The old style basket was generally
Of wicker. The later arrivals are Of
leather, though wicker is not entirely
superseded, and the equipment is de-
signed for parties Of two. four or six.
The prices are remarkably reasonable,
ranging from about So to a little less
than $50, the cost, Of course, being reg
ulated by the number Of persons pro
vided for and the quality Of the fitting
Of the basket.
The plates, cups and saucers are of
white enameled ware, with a gilt rim,
giving a delightful suggestion Of fine
china, with the assurance Of practical
indestructibility. The necessary table
ware is most conveniently disposed
the knives slipping into metal catches
that hold them securely and the list
being complete even to a carving SET
and salt spoons for the luncheon bas'
kets. Some of the metal carriers for
the sandwiches, salad, game, or what
ever composes the menu, are arranged
in double tiers, but all are roomy and
positively dustproof.
There are separate holders for butter
salt, pepper, and the liquids that are
carried with luncheon, while the tea
baskets are complete even to the tea
caddy. An alcohol lamp and kettle
are a feature of the tea baskets, anc
there are separate carriers for cream il
addition to the food carrier and the
complement of china and spoons. Pic
nicking with the aid Of these new
conveniences is certain to prove a Jo]
for the autoist.

COMMON SENSE VS..
STRONG DRUGS.
Simple Oil ofWintergreen Cures Eczema
and Drives Out Old Fosy Treatment.

II YOU were to hack your finger or
seald you rarm, you would apply some
healing remedy as soon as possible,
wouldn't you?
That would be good common sense
and il would bring the quickest relief.
You surely would never think of drink
ing medicine or doctoring the blood to
cure a surface afiiction.
It's Just the same principle with dis.
eases OF the skin. Eczema, psoriasis,
salt rheum and barbers itch can be
cured and cured easily if you strike
right at the trouble as you do with a
cut or burn.
The cause of itching. burning skin
diseases according to modern science,
is a germ which feeds upon the weaker
parts of the skin. To kill these skin,
bacilli which produce thee itching sores
and ugly red blotches, use the famous
prescription of oil of wintergreen, gly-
cerine and thymol, commonly known as
j. d. d. Prescription. This mild liquid
was advocated by a prominent skin
specialist, Dr. Dennis, of Chicago, long
before it was adopted generally. This
liquid is called d. ID. ID. Prescription

diseases.

Pompadour Lore.

For the square face the pompadour
must be made to follow the outlines OF
the face.
Round faces should be surrounded
by a moderate sized pompadour.
The woman with broad cheek bones
and a rather taperlng chin will get the
best effect by a rather low faring pom
padour surmounted by a broad, low
chignon.
The long, thin oval face is most be-
comingly framed by the same faring
pompadour as in the above without
the chignon.
Unless the forehead is very high the
line made by the hair around the brow
generally forms the prettiest outline
for the pompadour.
All exaggerations Of the pompadour
are bound to make a woman look COM

DUTCH LANTERN.

standing the fact that the uglier Ian
tern can justly claim a greater age
than any of the others.
Our ancestors sought for beauty,
even as we do, and soon evolved better
hall lanterns out Of the same principle
by the use Of ornamental frameworks
of iron or brass, with slides of ground
glass stained, painted or etched. A
Dutch design shown in the picture has
retained the favorite hexagonal shape,
while painted upon each of these six
ground glass faces is a tulip in an
oddly shaped vase. The result is quaint
and pleasing, for the tulip and vase
stand out boldly on the light ground
glass surface. The framework OF this
lantern is but a slight modification of
that Of the old utility lantern, for it is
decorated very simply.

HALL HANGING LAMPS

In the twentieth century hallway of

which formerly performed the same

tor Probably, alas, many treasures in
this line are slowed away in the dusky
corners Of country garrets by those
who have not yet come to g full appre-
ciation of the antique. To be sure,
those in use today do not, as in the
olden days, contain an oil lamp, a tai
low dip OF a wax candle. On the con-

ity and shine forth all the more brave

they look far from out Of place in the
midst of the old fashioned furniture
that plays its part in so many Of the
homes at the present day.
Two hundred years ago lanterns were

and they were accordingly simple in
design and crude In appearance, being
made Of straight bars Of iron, with
plain glass slides. Having no especial

in great demand as ornaments today

ASK EQUITABLE
SHIPPING RATES

Directors OF the Board OF Trade havs

pass law providing for mail equitable

set forth that the Interstate Commeroa
Commission has shifted the burden OF
rates from the carrier to the shipper and
that the present rates are no longer a

Delaware's representatives in congress
are asked in the same resolution to urge
the passage Of such a law.
