DISTRESSING CASE OF HIVES

II retired one evening and after
sleeping a couple of hours was awak-
ened by burning sensation all over
the upper part of my body. 1t was
Just simply terrible and made it im-
possible for me to sleep the rest of
that night, SO / had to sit up all night
changing my position every couple Of
minutes. AS the hours went by 1t
grew worse and soon I started to
scratch myself. When daylight ar
rived saw that my body was covered
with large red marks about an inch
fected. / went to see a doctor. He
told me that / must have eaten some
thing poisonous, and | had the hives.
He prescribed medicine and also
gave me some ointment.
las the days went by I steadily
one part of my body to another. The
medicine and ointment were of no
use. One evening by chance looking
over the. papers / saw the Cuticura
Remedies advertised. | Immediately
procured some Cuticura Ointment and
applied it to my body. 1t seemed to
ease my skin right away. l kept on
using the Cuticura Ointment for a
week and can say that it certainly was
the finest preparation / had ever used.
1t completely cured me, and have not
been troubled since" (Signed) Will

In some parts of the south the
darkies are still addicted to the old
style country dance in big hall, with
the fddlers, banjoists and other mu-

fiddlers had duly resined their bows
and taken their places on the plat

Apropos of the jubilee of the death

of the tenderest things her husband

her passing in letter of infinite pa

Mrs. Blagdon: Then came what my

NEW RIBBONS FOR MILLINERY
They Are Very Wide and Soft, De-
signed for the Making of Hat
Bows.

The new millinery ribbons are enor-
mously wide and soft. for bows MADE
of taffeta are really smarter than RIB
bon, and the ribbon makers have had
to get out special widths to please
the women who prefer to make big nat
bows of conveniently finished ribbon
rather than hem and wire silk bows.
The graceful bows are arranged at
front, back or side of the hat, accord
ing to the requirement of it's shape
or its wearer's fancy The big bow
across the back is undeniably youth
full and girlish in suggestion. though
the bow in front is more becoming to
certain types of face. Trimming at
the side should only be worn. by wom
en- who can stand dashing and jaunty
effects.
Taffeta Is the millinery silk par ex-
cellence just now. and the new colors
are delectable-soft gray reds called
raspberry and cyclamen, rich olive
and bronze green's; sumptuous
American beauty rose and several
shades OF the vivid geranium red
called coronation" There are two
tone silks with jacquard weaves
which make stunning bows, the velvet
brim facing of velvet matching one OF
the shades; but perhaps the most
beautiful of all the new millinery silks
is the beau dor or gold skin. which is
glace silk woven OF yellow threads
which have high GLOSS and gIisten
like gold. A cross weave OF colored
threads produces a most beautiful
changeable effect. most often in stripes
or vague East Indian" patterns.

Teeth kept clean mean small dem

toothache. Hair kept clean means
that no time be wasted for the pre-
