Red cross christmas Seals.

Arrangements for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National As
soc:ation for the Study and Proven
lion of tuberculosis and the Ameri-
can Red Cross. "A Million for Tuber-
culosis'' will be the slogan of the 1910
campaign. Two features of the sale
this year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuberculo-
sis fighters. The American National
Red Cross is to issue the stamps as in
former years, but this organization
will work in close cooperation with
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. which
body will share in the proceeds of the
sales. The charge to local associa-
tens for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
FER cent. to 12h per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber-
culosis work in all parts of the United
States. The stamps are to be desig-
mated as Red Cross Seals" this year
and are to be placed on the back of
letters instead of on the front

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 a skinned
rabbit We were unable to put clothes
OF her. At first it seemed to be few
snattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel of leaving the UNI
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 a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick 1t was aw-
full to see so small baby look as she
did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies put all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came on. Un-
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticnra
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
OF and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is fine
picture of a fat little baby and all
is well. We only used one cake of Cuti-
cura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint-
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. II people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss-

Tubing the skirt. 1t will shrink, OF

sing the skirt fits the hips very
smoothly at present, then in all prob
ability it will be necessary to draw up
the skirt an inch or two TO make it
set properly over the hips.
This would necessitate cutting 1t on
from the top. and as the skirt win also
shrink In length. the rest of the hem
will be needed on the bottom and a
facing used when making the new
hem.
Make a warm suds with water and
white soap. adding a little borax. I'M

down, rubbing any very soiled places
with the hands.
When clear 1t should be rinsed In
clear lukewarm water and borax. then
hung up to dry. First, turn wrong
side out and pin to the line at waist
band directly in center front.
Keep the fold down the center front
and pin the hem to the line. Then put
two or three pins between the belt and
hem.
AS 1t dries the folds should be
smoothed. and, IL necessary. the skirt
pulled into shape.
When almost perfectly dry press on
the wrong side with a warm iron. put
on skirt hanger and put out in the
air or sun.
Carefully done. the skirt will look

Passing of "The Man of Lett rs"

1t will soon be time to write the
formal epitaph of the man of let
ters," just as it has already been done
for the gentle reader" The title is
well nigh outgrown. 1t is used but
seldom now and then, ordinarily by
one who refuses To place himself
among the herd of mere writers" In
consequence, it has become offensive.
particularly to an age like our when
nearly everybody can write. The in
congruity in the title is felt every
where At public dinner recently,
prominent author upon being re-
ferred to as "a distinguished man of
letters" blushed for shame while the
audience Uttered; and in one large
university in the East the man who
wears his letters the least bit con-
sciously is termed the "belletristic
trifier," or even the literary feller."
In dayc gone by, and not so far in
the past, either, there was a certain
divinity of aspiration, as well as Of
inspiration, in him who ventured to
cast his lot with literature. 1t was
inherited, perhaps, from the office of
the poet, who originally was the rec
ogniZed seer and priest and ruler of
the tribe, all in one. The poet spoke
winged words" which could fly down
the years and convey their message
to all believers. He told of not what
was, but of what ought to be, and
builded a world which was truer, it
was thought, than the actual world
before him Now, something of this
same quality used always to be eX-
pected of the man of letters-the pow
er of idealistic creation, whether as
poet or writer of fiction, or as imagi-
native interpreter. Think of our own
New England coterie: Hawthorne,
Emerson. Holmes, Lowell, Thoreau,
Longfellow. Each in greater or less
degree had the power of bigger than
verbal utterance, and left, in his re-
actions upon the past and the pres
ent. a creation decidedly his own.-

MlLWAUkEE's LATEST PLAN

Socialistic Milwaukee may put
Thomas A. Edison's machine-made
houses to their first actual test. Mil
waukee has many unusual things on
the program that has been outlined
since her new administration came
into power, and as she seems to be
making good" in all of her pre-elec-
ton promises, there is good reason to
look for success in the plans that are
being laid for an experiment in the
municipal ownership of land and
dwellings.
Milwaukee has already acquired a
tract of more than three thousand
acres on which to carry on her expert
ment. Secured at low price, it is
proposed to sell lots of generous size
to workingmen at near cost and on
long terms of payment. On these lots
the municipality proposes to erect
houses of the most approved type pos
sible. which shall be sold on the same
terms as the lots are disposed of. That
is the scheme in outline.
M Laicnn 10 fn q for
the New York World recently of his
plans with reference to Milwaukee.
That city offers a wonderful oppor-
tunity." he said. THAT is, if the men
who are going to carry out this axperi-
ment are as honest as think they are.
My houses are meant to give the dol
lar-a-day man his own home, and it
seems to me there is no finer work
in which a municipality can engage
than in helping that man to such a
possession. The trouble with houses
now is that they require two much
expert work, not to say too many eX-
perts. With my houses the construc-
tive work is all done by machinery,
and the rest of it is merely a matter
of a foreman and few laborers."
The rest of the nation will watch
with much interest the result of Mil
waukee's commendable effort to help
the workingman.
