Buckwheat Cake Decline.

Scholey's Mountain, N. j., Nov. Il.
has the populace here had
time to assimilate the information that
Jersey lightning is rapidly becoming
extinct, when along comes the report,
backed by statistics, that the effete
latter-day Jerseyman has lost his
capacity for the time-honored buck
wheat cake. The fact of the matter
is, according to the millers in this
part of the country, that the consump-
ton of buckwheat has fallen off not
less than 80 per cent in the last five
years. The farmers have failed to
note that, and the result is that buck
wheat has become a drug on the
market.

KEEP THE CLOSETS CLEAN
Point Of Importance That Is Too Fro
quently Overlooked by the
Busy Housewife.

Usually there are about the house
closets so dark that except at the
yearly or semi-yearly housecleaning 1t
is Impossible to tell whether or not
they are dirty. They are breeders OF
disease, even In the best-managed
households, for no maid and few mis-
tresses will crawl into the dark hole
under the stairs or back in the kitch-
en- after perfectly invisible dust.
One solution OF the problem is to
paint these closets white. ceiling, floor
and walls. II is easy enough to see
dirt then, and the other and more use
full contents Of the closet as well. II
one can keep the hall closet clean and
find the family overshoe on sight, sim
ply by painting the closet white. then
by all means let us hasten TO the paint
shop and remove the obsolete and her

TINY BABY's PlTIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked Just like skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first II seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel of leaving the I'M
derneath skin red as though It were
scalds. Then few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body. leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top Of her
head there appeared heavy scab n
quarter Of an inch thick. II was aw-
full to see so small n baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura.
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and It came on. I'm.
der this. where the real matter was.
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment.
n new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops Of the Cuticura
Resolyent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining n little skin which would peel
on and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She Is n fine
picture OF fat little baby and all is
well. We only used one cake Of Cuti.

ment and one bottle Of Cuticura Re
