strong light, a mirror and lens, the
image of an object Is projected onto

the collector. This collector turns
very rapidly and transmits the cleo

Slot machines for the sale of illumi-
nants are not great successes from the
standpoint of the seller. because they
incline TO teach economy to the con-
sumner. The majority of people never
take time to look at the ordinary
meter, and many of them have never
learned to read one anyway, but when
the money is called for constantly the
householder In found TO be more care

gas and electricity are interested in
having good-sized bile. they do not
rush to adopt the economical slot
meters.

Not long ago an enterprising the
atricaI man staged what he called an
, electrical ballet. There were dozens
of chorus girls wearing costumes
which could be lighted with myriads
of tiny electric bulbs. The dresses
were wired and the little bulbs hid
den away. Contact was made by
their escorts holding the wires in
their hands and pressing them
against a metal plate at the back of
the girls waists. The result is said

CRUSTED OVER
With Eczema That Broke Out when

Chance of Cure Seemed Slight.
CURE BY CUTlCURA
EASY AND COMPLETE

"Our little daughter, when three
months old, began to break out on the
head and we had the best doctors to
treat her, but they did not do her any
good. They said she had eczema. Her
eyes became crossed from the disease
and her scalp was a solid scale all over.
The burning and itching was SO severe
that she could not rest, day or night.
We had about given up all hopes when
we read an advertisement of the Cuti-
cura Remedies. We at once got cake
of Cuticura Soap, box Of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle Of Cuticura ResClv-
ent and followed directions carefully.
After the first dose of the Cuticura Re
solvent, we used the Cuticura Soap freely
and applied the Cuticura Ointment
Then she began to improve rapidly and
In two weeks the scale came of her head
and new hair began to grow. In very
short time she was well. Her eyes were
perfectly straight when she recovered
and have been SO ever since. She is now
sixteen years of age and is picture OF
health. We know the Cuticura Rene
dies cured her and have used them in
our family ever since.
I'VE used the Cuticura Remedies
about five weeks, regularly, and then
we could not tell she had been affected
with any disease. She suffered with
burning and itching and hard, scaly,
dandruff-looking scabs all over her head
and in places on her body. We used no
other treatments after we found out what
the Cuticura Remedies would do for her.
