AN INTOLERABLE ITCHING

Just about two years ago, some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when l
combed my hair, the scalp became
raw and the ends of the comb-teeth
would be wet with blood Most of the
time there was an intolerable itching,
In painful, burning way, very much
as a bad, raw burn, if deep, will itch
and smart when first beginning to
heal. Combing my hair was positive
torture. My hair was long and tan
gled terribly because of the blood and
scabs. This continued growing worse
and over half my hair fell out. was
in despair, really afraid of becoming
totally bald.
Sometimes the pain was so great
that, when partially awake, / would
scratch the worst places so that my
fnger-tips would be bloody. 1 could
not sleep well and, after being asleep
a short time, that awful stinging pain
would commence and then l would
wake up nearly wild with the torture.
neighbor said it must be salt rheum.
Having used Cuticura Soap merely as
a toilet soap before, l now decided to
order set of the Cuticura Remedies
-Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills.
l used them according to directions
for perhaps six weeks, then left off,
as the disease seemed to be eradi-
Gated, but toward spring, eighteen
months ago, there was a slight re-
turn of the scalp humor. l COM
menced the Cuticura treatment at
once, so had very little trouble. On
my scalp l used about one half cake
of Cuticura Soap and half a box of
Cuticura Ointment in all The first
time took six or seven bottles of Gu
ticura Pills and the last time three
bottles-neither an expensive or te-
dious treatment Since then / have
had no scalp trouble of any kind.
Standing up, with my hair unbound, it
comes to my knees and had it not been
for Cuticura I should doubtless be
wholly bald.
This is voluntary, unsolicited tes-
timOnial and take pleasure in writing

someone else. Miss Lillian Brown,

Light on Cause of tuberculosis.

The sixth annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of tuberculosis was held
in Washington on May and 3. Among
the most interesting papers was one
by DR.. William H. Park, the famous
pathologist and head of the labora
tories OF the New York city depart
ment of health. Dr. Park contended
that pulmonary tuberculosis is very
rarely, if ever, caused by infection
from bovine sources, such as the
drinking of milk or the eating OF meat
tuberculosis of the stomach and inter
nal organs, which compose only about
ten per cent. of the sickness from
this disease, are often caused by drink
ing or eating infected matter. Doctor
Park substantiated his conclusions bEs
showing the results of years of inves-
tigation and examination of pathologi-
cal specimens. His conclusions are
substantially those reached by DR..

REQUIRE MUCH CARE
POINTS TO BE REMEMBERED IN
CLEANING OF LAcES.
Delicate Materials Must Be Carefully
HandIed-Should Be Soaked
Before Any Attempt at
Washing Is Made.

Lace should always be soaked before
washing, more especially If it is much
soiled, in water in which a teaspoon
full of borax has been dissolved. The
water should be boiling, the usual pro-
portions being one pint of water to
every teaspoonful of borax. Then make
lather with some good soap and wa
ter. Take the lace from the water in
which it has been soaked, place it in
the soapy water. and squeeze it exact
ly as if it were a sponge till it is clean
This will prevent the lace from being
torn, more especially if it is of fine
make.
Repeat the process, if necessary, in
another basin of soapy water. Then
rinse in clean, cold water till all the
soap is removed. If the lace is white
little blue in the rinsing water will
improve the color. A very little stiffen-
ing will prevent ordinary lace from
soiling quickly. The water in which
rice has been boiled is very suitable
for the purpose.
To dry-clean lace give it dry bath
in -four. About a quart of flour should
be sifted into a bowl or pan, into
which the lace should be dipped, then
rubbed and squeezed with the hands
as if the flour were water.
After it has received a good shaking
it will look as fresh and charming as
ever.
Another method is to lay the lace
out quite evenly on clean white paper,
cover it with magnesia, then put an
other paper on the top. Leave it in
side the leaves of a book for two or
three days, when it will look as fresh
as when new.
After being cleaned. if the lace is
not in use, keep it in blue paper, as
this has a preservative influence over
its 'whiteness.
If silk lace is much discolored it
should be soaked in hot milk for two
or three hours before washing.
HOniton lace should not be ironed
Put it under weight on clean white
paper after being washed. Blotting
paper will give the best results.
Laces that are embroidered with
colors and silk, tinsel, or silver and
gold should be spread out smoothly
on clean piece of linen and cleaned
carefully with a soft brush, dipped in
spirits of wine.

SILVER ,,RIIURPLUSo NEVER BIG

The recent improvement in the
silver metal market, calls attention
to thel fact that no surplus to speak
of, Of the white metal, is carried
hand in reserve, as prevails for
instance in the copper market,
where large stocks are frequently
ON hand.
The way silver is handled, as far
as its sale is concerned at it's
principal market place, which is
London, they never allow it to ac-
cumulate, and as soon as supply
is received, it is forthwith sold.
London is the big auction center
for silver. The metal is auctioned
off each day in London, regardless
of cost, so that at the close of
business no one is carrying a stock
Of the metal like the metal agencies
carry copper and lead. Silver
interests know each day pretty well
what the silver ore production for
the previous day was; they are in
constant touch with the ore purchas
ing agencies. If there is a small
demand for silver the price naturally
goes down. The fact, therefore,
that the silver quotations have been
going up steadily for several months
indicates bigger buying power.
There is another point in this
connection, which often puzzles the
seeker after information, which is
how to figure the London quotations
into dollars and cents. By a
peculiar coincidence the multiple
2 1-16 is the open sesame to calcul-
alton. Take, for instance, t. e
London silver prices which are in
pence per .ounce. Multiply the
figure. by 2. 1716 and you get the
desired result in, American money.
