Boating Editor. The Herald:
Dear Sir-I have a canvas-covered deck
on speed launch which is loose or bub-
bling up in some places, and wish you
would advise me. 1 put the cover on in
this manner: After having planned the
deck and filed holes and seams with a
seam composition 1 gave it a coat OF
boiled linseed OIL I then added some oil
was a sort of paste and covered the deck
with a thick coat. We then stretched
on the No. 10 or u canvas and fastened.
After the canvas was nailed all along the
edges gave 1t a good coat of i'll, which
made 1t shrink up as tight as drum, and
rubbed it down with my hands Now,
after standing in my basement 1t is full
Oh loose pAceS- Is lnere any way Can
treat II without taking off the canvas?
F. F. B.
Your method Of putting on the canvas
was very good, except that the layer Of
white lead was rather unnecessary. The
job would have been just as good without
1t. The loose places are due to the SWELL
ing of the canvas from the moisture Of
the basement. When you take the boat
out and let the sun shine on 1t you will
probably be pleased to find the canvas
as tight as when first put on.

Ice Cream Hint.

How many housekeepers ever think
Of utilizing melted ice cream? Instead
of throwing away the small left over
portions that remain in freezer or
mold, this melted cream should be
incorporated in cake, cookies, or some
small dessert For the latter a little
gelatin should be added, varying, Of
course, with the result desired. Melt
ed chocolate ice cream into which
chopped marshmallOws have been
stirred and a little melted gelatin
added, makes a delicious combination.
Chopped fruits, as bananas, figs, and
dates, also give a pleasing variety.
When using melted ice cream for cake
leave out the milk called for in the
recipe and use less butter and sugar.
Judgment must be used in combining
quantities as no general rule can be
given. The flavor of the cake must
be considered and the ice cream fla
vor must harmonic with it.

FREED FROM SKIN DISEASE

Our boy was born in Toronto ON
Oct. ID, 1908, and when three months
old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to be a wa
ter blister would form When it
broke, matter would run out, starting
new blisters until his entire face,
head and shoulders were a mass Of
scabs and you could not see a par
ticle Of clear skin. Other parts Of
his body were affected, but not to
such an extent. We tried about every
advertised remedy without avail, in
deed some of them only added to his
suffering and one in particular, the
Remedy, almost put the infant
into commissions. The family doctor
prescribed for him and told us to
battle the baby in buttermilk This
did not do any good, so we took him
to hospital. He was treated as an
out-patient twice a week and he got
worse, II anything We then called
in another doctor and inside Of q
week the boy was, to all appearances,
cured and the doctor said his work
was done. But the very next day it
broke out as bad as ever.
I'VE decided that 1t could not be
cured and must run it's course and so
we just kept his arms bandaged to
his side to prevent his tearing his
flesh. We left Toronto and shortly
after our arrival in Duluth, the Cuti-
cura Remedies were recommended.
We started using them In May, 1909,
and soon the cure was complete. You
would not think he was the same
child for Cuticura made his skin per-
fectly clear and he Is entirely free
from the skin disease There has
been no return this time. We still
use only Cuticura Soap for baby's
bath. Robert Mann, Proctor, Mimi,
