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
on her. At first it seemed to be few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un-
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
quarter of an inch thick 1t was aw-
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagined The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try Cuticura
By using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cut.cura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old She is fine
picture Of 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. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer
ing with eczema. Mrs. Joseph Koss

Red Cross Christmas Seals.

Arrangements for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals for 1910 have
been announced by the National AS
sociation for the Study and Proven
ton 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
safes. The charge to local associa-
tons for the use of the national
stamps has been reduced also from 20
per cent. to 1914 per cent, which will
mean at least $4,000 more for tuber-
culosfs 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.

twilled or corded weave. Mar
quisette and other fine veilings are
much employed in conjunction with
satin, rich lace, and chiffon, this COM
bination turning out the most fairy
like wedding frocks without great ex-
pense. One wedding dress shown by
leading importer was of embroider-
ed batiste over satin. 1t was short,
with Dutch neck, and fairly incrust-
ed with needlework. 1t was to be
topped by broad hat wreathed with
white Grape morning glories and
snowy roses in the same airy texture
The materials used show endless
shades of white, but pearl, snow-white
and delicate cream are the most sat
isfactory ones. A pretty arrange
ment for the veil is to put it on after
the manner of straight gathered cur
tain, with the sides covering the
cheeks and the rest of the face un-
covered. The tulle or fine net used, is
left unhemmed and it is shirred to
wire under a round wreath of orange
blossoms.
Our illustration suggests an attract
i've and girlish design for a cloth
frock braided with soutache that
would be needed for walking or trav-
cling Here one of the new cloths
with O rough finish is employed, the
color delicate tan, with the braiding
and other trimming black.
The skirt is plated with closely
fitting yoke, and the upper part is a
species of polonaise, with the neck
rounded out and kimono sleeves cut
with the side portions of the bodice.
White net embroidered with black
dots is used for the guimpe and under
sleeves. Any wool of solid nature
would do for this frock, and machine
embroidery may be bought for the
trimming if the braiding seems diff
cult The upper part of the dress
could also be made of yelling and the
lower part of silk, and with this ar
rangement an embroidered guimpe and
undersleeves of white batiste would
be very pretty.
But in seeking for a rich effect re.
member that black note in the
trimming will always give it, ard for
that matter, a gown in almos1 any
color might be trimmed solidly with
black and be in excellent style.

shrewd Scheme Stopped Run.

Many years ago, in consequence of
commercial panic, there was severe
run on a bank in South Wales, and
the small farmers iostled each other
in crowds to draw out their money.
Things were rapidly going from bad
to worse, when the bank manager, in
a fit of desperation, suddenly be-
thought him of an expedient. BY his
directions, clerk, having heated some
sovereigns in frying pan, paid them
over the counter to an anxious appli-
cant why, they're quite hot!" said
the latter as he took them up. "Of
course" was the reply; what else
could you expect? They are only just
OFT of the mold. We are coming them
by hundreds as fast as we can"
Coming them!" thought the simple
agriculturists; then there is no fear
of the money running short!" With
this their confidence revived, the pan
ic abated, and the bank was enabled
to weather the storm.

HATS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
MiIlionaire's Wife Pays, Without Ques-
ton, Fabulous Prices for Artis-
tic Headgear.

The millionaire wife pays anywhere
from S25 to $500 for hat, and she
buys half a dozen hats or so every
season. The days are past when the
hat plays second fiddle, SO to speak,
to the gown. The hat and the gown
are of equal Importance now.
How is it possible to put such a
price on a hat?" The question has
been asked thousand times by aston
ished husbands who pay the bills, and
even by the women themselves who
buy.
Well, in the first place, the
plat. hat itself is imported from Paris,
and costs the l1illiner from $40 to
S25, as against So to $40 only ten
years ago. This hat, though 1t FOL
lows the prevailing fashion, and
though this fashion may be ridicu-
lous in the extreme, is nevertheless,
artistic in lines and general form.
Perhaps it is desired that the hat
should be green. The artist mil
liner has in her employ French
man whose business it is to color
hats to any shade or tint that may
be wished. He brings his dyes from
Paris the pale, soft colors he uses
are to be had only in that city-scd
has himself received his training
there. No American can do this
work.
Tho frip,p,ipoo opd materials fOr
this hat are, of course, imported
also. A SIS imported feather may be
the body of the trimming. Perhaps
on the green ground it is decided that
pink and blue roses will harmonize
best with the rest of the wearer's
outfit. 1t is in deciding such things
as these that the art of the milliner
is called into play.
It is a French woman, too, who
does the work on small hats and
toqes. She has been worker for
one of the famous firms in Paris
for Charlotte, possibly. or Georgette.
or Camille Rogers. II her specially
is sailor hats, she has probably been
with Marie Louise.
A woman of wealth buys all her
hats between September and July.
During the hot months the milliner
may fit out dozen theatrical COM
panies if she chooses, but she cannot
do this in the winter time, for the
two elements, tho social set and
the theatrical profession, must come to
the milliner's parlors at different
times.

sity to the woman of unlimited means.

NOT THE TIME FOR THAT
Scotsmen Objected to Mixture of Good
Whisky and Religious Con-
versation.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was
the principal guest at dinner of the
London Authors club recently, which
was followed by discussion on
'Humor." Mr.. Seaman began with a
story deprecating the spelling of good
dinners by any discussion at all.
There were three characters in the
story-a bluebottle and two Scots
men. The story at once struck a note
of probability by showing the Scots
men drinking whisky. The bluebottle
buzzed on the pane; otherwise 81
e,ence reigned.
This was broken by one of the
Scotsmen trying to locate the blue
bottle with geological exactitude. Said
the Scotsman:
SANDY, I'm thinking il yon fly is a
birdie or beastie."
The other replied: Man, don't spoil
good whisky with religious conversa-
ton"

BLOCK IS owNER or
 BILLY BOY GROUP
tFrom Fridays pailyl

VT iOAA4 EAiAoS 0oAAgy
 Through making the final payment yesterday, Ed. Block is now the sole owner of the Billy Boy group of mining claims on the Hassayampa, near the Climax mines. In speaking of this transaction, MT. Black states that he feels very enthusiastic over what has been accomplished on the property in the past few weeks of development, reporting that a new body of ore mas been cut into in the tunnel on the footwall side, where a new and rich mineral condition was determined, and one not heretofore known.
 On the showing made on the hang ing wall side was the reason why the property was taken over a few weeks ago on a conditional option. The new discovery now established is two feet through and the ertent as yet not known. Previous to making this discovery the casing material was assayed and the returns gave $S16 in gold and silver. Assays are being made of the ore body, and he believes that it will run to a high figure.
 The Billy Boy group was formerly owned by R. H. Row, and the pay ment made yesterday was to him. In past operations MT. Row stated that at various times he had mined the ground successfully, treating the yield at the Mescal and Climax mills, always receiving a good pro- fit in gold and silver values.
 The new discovery has created such an interested feeling with MT. Block that he has let a contract for the thorough exploitation of the mine, sending the men to the camp yesterday.
