AN lNToLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago. some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
It grew steadily worse until. when I
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

in despair, really afraid Of becoming
totally bald.

FOR SUNDAY SUPPER
HINTS ON PREPARING THIS IN.
FORMAL MEAL.
One Hot Dish and the Rest Cold Sc

by one country hostess for her friends,
and 30 successful have these affairs be-
come that never is she without sew
eral visitors, and, as the meal is OF
kind that can be served at any hour,
guests have no feeling Of being too

did she allow too much latitude to
the maid in the dining room on Sun
days. So, after the formal midday
dinner is over and the dishes washed.
the maid lays the supper table and
then departs.
Supper is either cold or there is but
one hot dish, this being made In the
chatting dish, and chosen with a view
to not spelling by standing In the hot
water jacket. Curried eggs, creamed
chicken or salmon. or something SINH
lar. Is usually prepared. and incident
ally, should any be left over, 1t is ex-
cellent for luncheon next day.
Besides this hot food there is al
ways a vegetable salad and mayon-
naise, selecting either cucumber or to-
mato. There ia bread and butter and
iced tea or coffee. The dessert Is
either berries, other fruit, or kind
that will keep for many hours without
looking left over.
All these are on the table at once.
There is no tablecloth, but center
piece, a dish of flowers, and candies.
Plates are not placed at regular inter
vale, but left In pile, one at either
end of The table. Knives are also
together. and SO are forks. two sets
being at either side of the table to

Removal Of Rust Stains.

Anything that will remove the rust
stain will also take away color with
It. One part Of citric acid to one part
water will take out the rust stain, but
acids also destroy the. color, therefore
1t is only suited to white goods. After
using the solution the rinsing should
be very thoroughly done.
Sometimes weak solution of am
monia and water will restore the color
to faded fabrics. II you have a scrap

command, What God hath joined to-
gether let no man break asunder.'
which church and state have literally
assumed Godship. Remember the
command says, What God hath
joined not what man hath Joined.
and wherefore doth the church or
state assume to know whether God
has to Join two souls. Only the con-
tracing parties know how much God
hath joined them by the unselfish
love they bear each other, wherefore
again doth the marriage ceremony
join them together II they cease to
feel love for each other"
Indicative of her attitude toward
Heinze, Mrs. French points to the
following excerpt from this amazing
chapter on marriage:
mo human power can separate two
souls whom God hath joined together
and no human power can keep to-
gether two souls that man hath Joined
together II they see fit to separate.
Thus we see how eventually the mar
rage ceremony will become useless.
"It has become almost so In this
present day, for the most important
purpose 1t serves is the governing of
the financial conditions between the
contracting parties, which of course
becomes very necessary under the
present materialistic rule. However,
all these things must pass away and
in the passing we shall find no re-
grets, for a better and higher plan
will force itself forward and we shall
step to another landing along the
stairs of evolution.
"But in the meantime let us not
feel that any one of us Is destined or
commissioned to try to force these
convictions upon the world, because
the world or anything thereon will
not go faster than nature intended II
should The state of union without
marriage Is a long way of to the

TRADE BALANCE CHANGES
Month of August Swings Pendulum

MILLION DOLLARS OTHER WAY
First Eight Months of the Calendar
Year bring More in Trade than

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16.-The balance OF
trade. which the statistics of the last
thirty years have generally shown to be
largely in favor Of this country, has turned
over. II now stands a million dollars on
the other side OF the ledger for the first

month OF August swung the pendulum and
brought to the United States S3,5s3,i25 more

From that cond. ii )n s udcnts Of eco lomcs
may draw conclusions as varied as they
may be many. One is that there has been
no readjustment OF prices in the United
States since the panic of l9O7-0S. Another
is that the balance OF trade has been

Americans spent s150,00000O a year in Eu-

condition of the national banks at the
close of business on September /, now
being compiled will verify the latter con-
clusion in a measure and 1t Is predicted
that the gold imports for August, which
amounted to te,e6s1SS, are BUT the fore
