RAW ECZEMA ON HANDS


IT had eczema on my hands for ten
years. 1 had three good doctors but
none of them did any good. then
used one box of Cuticura Ointment
and three bottles Of Cuticura Resolvent
and was completely cured. My hands
were raw all over, inside and out, and
the eczema was spreading all over my
body and limbs, Before j had used one
bottle. together with the Cuticura
Ointment. my sores were nearly
healed over. and by the time l had
used the third bottle, I was entirely
well. To any one who has any skin
o. blood disease would honestly ad-
wise them to fool with nothing else,
but to get Cuticura and get well. My
hands have never given me the least
bit of trouble up to now.
MY daughters hands this summer
became perfectly raw with eczema.
She could get nothing that would do
them any good until she tried Cuti-
cura. She used Cuticura Resolvent
and Cuticura Ointment and in two
weeks they were entirely cured. I
have used Cuticura for other members
of my family and it always proved sue.

shawls Coming Back.

1t is probable that the beautiful old
crepe shawls of thick white, gold or
rose silk which were shipped from
Canton in the days of our great
grandmothers will soon be unpacked
from the paper wrappings in which
they have lain so long.
These finely embroidered squares,
with their handsome knotted fringes
sometimes half yard long. are being
used in Paris for the new swathed
gowns and loose draperies.
The once necessary Paisley shawl,
or that of Indian make. beloved OF
Queen Victoria and so often given by
her as wedding gift. is not likely
to share the popularity of the silken
square. Its make is much too thick
and heavy and the coloring does not
lend itself to the present mode. The
pitfalls of artistic dressing are many,
and because one mode of a period is
useful it does not follow that others
are really acceptable.

Money Needed for Good Work.

Twelve years ago, Massachusetts,
made the first appropriation for a
state sanitarium. Since that time,
over $10.000.00O has been appropri-
ated by state legislatures for the pre-
yention of tuberculosis, and about an
equal sum by municipal and county
authorities. The federal government
has over $1.000,O00 invested in tuber-
culosis hospitals, and spends annually
about s500.000 In their maintenance.
Every year the percentage of appro-
priations made from public funds for
tuberculosis work has increased.
While private societies have led the
way in the tuberculosis campaign,
every effort has been made to have
states, cities and counties do their
share. A bulletin of the national as
sociation states that the final success
of the anti-tuberculosis crusade de-
pends on every city and state provid-
ing funds to treat and prevent con-
sumption.

DecoIIete Gown Finish.

gowns developed from every kind of

Alexandria with this city as his objec-
tive point, and when near the southern
approach to the electric railway bridge
he was accosted by three men who sud
denly appeared across his path and
commanded him to stand and deliver.
The men discharged their pistols into
the air, at the same time ordering
Baumgartner to place his money on
the ground and then dccamp. There
was but one thing to do and Baumgart-
ncr did not hesitate; SO taking all the
money he had in his pockets $3.50 he
placed il where told. Then, not stand

off as quickly as possible toward the
bridge, Another thrilling experience,
however. awaited him. He had pro-
cceded but few yards when the high
waymen began to discharge their PTS
