HIRAM CARPENTERS WONDER
Full CURE OF PSORIASIS.

IT have been afflicted for twenty
years with an obstinate skin disease.
called by some M. DIS. psoriasis, and
others 1eprosy, commencing on my
scalp; and in spite of all l could do,
with the help of-the most skilful doc
tors, it slowly but surely extended un-
til a year ago this winter it covered
my entire person in the form of dry
scales. For the'last three years | have
been unable to do any labor, and
suffering intensely all the time. Every
morning there would be nearly a dust
painful of scales taken from the sheet
on my bed, some of them half as large
as the envelope containing this letter.
In the latter part of winter my skin
commenced cracking open. I tried
everything, almost, that could be
thought of, without any relief. The
18th of June 1 started West, In hopes
I could reach the Hot Springs. /
reached Detroit and was SO low l
thought l should have to go to the
hospital, but finally got as far as Lam
sing, Mich, where I had a sister liv-
ing. One DR.. - treated me about
two weeks, but did me no good. All
thought / had but a short time to live.
1 earnestly prayed to die. Cracked
through the skin all owe my back,
across my ribs, arms, hands, limbs;
feet badly swollen; t%oe-nails came OF;
1nger-nails dead and hard as a bone;
hair dead, dry and lifeless as old
straw. o my God! how / did suffer.
my sister wouldn't give up; said,
we will try Cuticura.' Some was ap-
piled to one hand and arm. Eureka!
there was relief; stopped the terrible
burning sensation from the word go.
They Immediately got Cuticura Re-
solvent, Ointment and Soap. I COM
menced by taking Cuticura Resolvent
three times a day after meals; had a
bath once a day, water about blood
heat; used Cuticura Soap freely; ap-
piled Cuticura Ointment morning and
evening. Result: returned to my
home in just six weeks from the time

weeks singing into the photograph
the songs of the Mojave dialects. The
Indian singer can sing songs in nine
different dialects and he knows over
three hundred different songs. Some
of the songs are along historical re-
citals and it takes several days for a
single song. Many of the songs have
been handed down from father to son
for generations, and 1t is hoped that
the early history of the Indian race in
the southwest may be amplifed
through these songs. After the songs
have been sung In the dialect into
the monograph they will be translated
into English by Captain Jack Jones.
The university will then have not only
a complete historical record, but it
will also possess a musical record
showing the cadences adopted by the
Indian singers and also the words they
use. This record may or may not be
Of tremendous value in establishing
the connection between the American
Indian and oriental people.

CEMENT INDUSTRY GROWING
Present Relative Importance ls Rarely
Understood-Ranks Third Only
to Coal and Iron.

The growth OF the Portland cement
industry has not ended, and it's pres
ent relative importance is rarely un-
d%erstood, says the Engineering Maya
zine. Its increase In size and in COM
mercial influence bring with them Ger
tain consequences which might well
be borne In mind at the present mo
ment. We can no longer feel that the
cement industry Is small and unim.
portant. and that its condition Is pure
ly a matter of private or local inter
est. On the contrary, 1t must be real
lied that the soundness Of the cement
industry has now become a matter OF
interest not only to cement manufac-
turers, but to commercial and finan-
cial interests generally. In capital
employed it probably ranks third only
to iron and coal among the American
mineral industries. It certainly far
outranks, in this respect, all the gold
mining industry of the United States
and Alaska. Even the copper indus.
try falls into lower place. for Finlay
has recently estimated that the value
of all the copper mining and smelling
plants of the United States is only
$110, 000. 000. From the banking point
of view, therefore. we are dealing
with one of the three great e~xtractive
industries Of the world.

Res. Tor tuberculosis patients.

DR.. Joseph H. Pratt of Boston, VINO
was the founder of the first tuEerculo-
sis class in the United States in the
Emmanuel church in Boston, claims
that in the treatment of tuberculosis
absolute rest, often III bed, u De
extended over a period of months, be-
fore the consumptiy- should take any
exercise. He says: Prolonged rest
in bed out of doors yields better re-
suits than any other method OF treat
ing pulmonary tuberculosis. Patients
will have a better appetite and take
more food without discomfort and gain
weight and strength faster thai pa
tents with active disease who are
allowed to exercise. Complications
are much less frequent. When used
in the incipient stage recovery Is
more rapid and surer."

Oak In Two Classes.

There is a great deal Of confusion
in the lumber market at the present
time as to oak. There is a variety Of
oaks and some kinds have many
names, but the foresters simplify the
matter by dividing them into two
great classes, the white oak group and
the black oak group, which have very
different characteristics. At the pres
ent time 1t is said to be impossible to
obtain an order for white oak that
does not contain a number of different
kinds, and it is not infrequent that
there is to be found among it some
red oak which belongs to the black
oak class. In some markets cabinet
white oak" Is regarded by many as a
n.xture of oaks, while in some others
it red oak only. This varied
nomenclature and classification has
been the cause of many delays and
disputes in the trade, and the agri-
cultural department is at the present
time struggling with the matter in the
endeavor to secure some systematic
classification and understanding about
these woods.

LITTLE THINGS THAT COUNT
the Wearer Is Careful and
Neat.

Look at the fit of a guImpe and you
can tell whether the wearer is care.
full and neat. 1t should be loose
enough to insure a perfect fastening
at the ] ack. 1t should be pulled down
at both front and back and pinned in
place, If necessary. Then there is the
fastening on the dress. The eyes or
plaits should always be sufficiently in
from the edge of the under flap so that
no sight of them is possible.
The fastening of your glove is a lit
tie thing, but 1t tells much. First, it
should be fastened; otherwise why the
buttons? Next, the first button should
be below the palm at the wrist line
The opening should never be in the
center of the palm. If it is. your
glove is too small.
A silk petticoat Is not worth very
much If 1t shows a frayed edge. One
little piece of the orr ruf1e will
counterbalance any rustic that you
may hear.
The vents of all skirts, under or
outer, should be carefully considered.
Buttons are the best, especially on
wash dresses, and be sure to have
enough of them.
Yes, it's the little things that are
important!

Americans Learning Spanish.

Boston, Mass.-Pupils DESTROYS of
learning Spanish in the schools are
numerous. During the last term at
Columbia university, conferences were
held In that institution in the Ian
guage of Cervantes. The mayor Of
Boston recently compelled all the
school masters in his jurisdiction to
include Spanish in the school curricul-
UNI and 1t may safely be affirmed that
there is hardly a mercantile firm Of
any Importance in the United States
that does not possess an employee who
can both speak and write Spanish
fiuently.
The reason Of all this is not far
to seek. The United States in its
anxiety to find new markets for It's
products has set its eyes on South
America and hopes to find a new field
there and also in Central America
among its many republics. AMI they
are satisfied that in the long u they
will have them all under their con-
troll.

PUZZLE TO SAM PORTER
SIXTY DAYS ON ROCK PILE AND NO
CHICKENS sAGGED.
Laura Emerson TaIcott, Also coIored,
Had Put Him on Trail of Fowls,
Then Transferred Her
Affections.

The night was dark and dirty. A
fine misting rain had been falling for
hours and the ground was slippery un-
der foot.
The asphalt streets, as somebody or
other said. looked like a newly caught
catfish, and dirty drops trickled from
the awnings.
But in the midst Of the drizzle Sam
Porter (colored) made his slipshod
way, his face serene and his gait as
energetic as the gait of Sam por.
ter (colored) eve got to be.
To gnd out why Sam Porter (color
ed) was out in the drizzle it is neces.
sary to go back three days. the Gal
weston News tells its readers.
Three days before, Laura Emerson
Talcott, also colored, but not quite SC
much so as Sam, had been fired from
the employ of n Major Tanner. and
though they had accused Laura OF
stealing a silver match safe, and had
found 1t on her. shs was naturally In
dignant.
Being Indignant, therefore, Laura
had told Sam that Major Tanner has
as fine alot Of white Plymouth Rock
fowls as man v e raised; that the
chicken house was away from the
house, and that the staple was loose
This was welcome information to Sam
He wasted no time in acting upon 1t.
Through the alley back of the Tan
ner home Sam sneaked, his sodden
burst-out shoes squashed merrily
Occasionally he paused to listen, pre-
pared, II discovered, to throw away the
sack he carried in his shirt front.
The alley gate was locked, and Sam
had to climb owe the fence. The
major had ornamented the fence with
nails and barb wire, and as Sam jump
ed, apparently the nails and barb wire
Jumped toward him, and he landed
upon a pile of loose lumber, bruised
scratched, and torn, with a noise as
If a house had fallen. But nobody
came.
Recovering his breath, he crept to
ward the chicken house. Better than
reported! 1t wasn't even locked.
Cropping within, Sam felt every inch
Of the space 1t inclosed, but there were
no fowls.
Out in the alley he scratched his
ear reflectively. It was plain that
something had gone wrong. But Sam
didn't know what.
1t was that Laura had swiftly trans
ferred her affections to a yellow mig
ger from up In the country and had
told him about the fowls also, and this
yellow man, seeing that Sam might
possibly be a swift mover, decided to
be like lightning.
And a passing policeman, In a bad
humor because Of the pesky rain, nab
bed Sam as he emerged from the al
ley. He had been too badly ratified
to throw away the sack and this
caused him to be sent to the station
in the nice, ley rubber tire patrol wag;
on on general principles.
And the next day the major appear
ed against him, and the sack and his
presence in the alley, coupled with the
loss Of the majors fine fowls, gave
Sam so days on the rock pile.
The so days are not yet up, and Sam
doesn't understand yet why he didni
get those chickens.

BEAUTY'S CHIEF FOES
MENTAL INFLUENCE MORE SERl-
Gus THAN PHYSICAL ILLS.
What tho Face Expresses Is OF More
Moment Than Shape Of Nose or
BrlIIiancy of the Com
pIexlon.

That there are many physical foes to
beauty, everyone knows wrong food,
bad ventilation, insufficient sleep and a
host of other Ills. They will damage
ones physical good looks to a consid-
cradle extent. But far more seri-
Gus in their effects are the mental
foes to beauty. For the spirit Is more
than the body, and what the face ex-
presses is of more moment than the
shape Of the nose or the b%rilliancy OF
the complexion.
The fact, physically attractive, but
spoiled by its expression, is familiar.
Many a girl with faultless features
and a rose-leaf complexion spoils all
their beauty by a peevish, discomfort
ed or vapid expression. On the 9TH
er hand, many a girl with a snub nose
and a sallow complexion wins all by
the sunny lovableness of her face. The
expression counts very large in sum-
ming up the factors that compose
beauty.
In the quest, then, for beauty that
30 many mn go Upon ceaselessly,
Ills uldLteT u tu6 value VI ncHldillJ
should be taken into account. If those
who seek beauty will acquire right
mental states, they will do as much,
perhaps more, toward accomplishing
their desire as they will by securing
the right masseuse or the right facial
cream.
The mental states that are foes to
g.
beauty are many. We all indulge In
them more or less, and by SO doing
detract to just that extent from the
beauty we are trying to acquire.
Again, anger, irritability, envy, jeal-
ousy, hatred, fear, suspicion, depres-
sion-all these and many others Of
the same nature have a bad effect
upon the looks.
1t Is now known that these mental
states affect us physically, and thus
in a physical way they react upon our
appearance, through the digestion, the
liver, the nerves, and other organs.
But they have also, in addition, a d.
rect effect upon the countenance. They
bring lines. They cause the corners
of the mouth to droop. In time they
will actually change the shape of the

Luncheon Set,

The engaged girl In the city has ex-
cellent chances to make an extreme
ly attractive luncheon set at small
cost by attending sales and selecting
from the mussed and odd doilies all
sizes which have ordinary plain seal
lops, says the Ladies' Home Journal.
Buy six or a dozen of the ten-inch
size for plate doilies, not bothering to
match the stamped patterns so long
as the scallops match. If you choose
the ordinary scallop you can match
them in six or four-inch size for tum-
bier doilies, and in 10, Is or 2O-inch
size for the centerpiece. Launder
them to get out the stamping, then
mark and embroider each with a
pretty initial or monogram. in differ
ent sizes proportionate for each dol
ly, and you have a lovely luncheon
set at very little cost. You will be
able to get the smaller doilies at five
cents and sometimes two for five
cents, whereas you would pay 81. y
to 81 for a matched set simply
stamped.

How a Mule Killed a Bear.

A mule dealt death to a bear that
had been terrorizing the residents Of
Diamond Valley. Daniel G. Shawley,
lumberman and farmer, Is the owner
Of the prize beast.
Aroused by a commotion in his barn
he found the bear in deadly combat
with the mule. Contrary to the estab-
lished custom the mule was using his
front feet in the battle and peppering
bruin a regular tattoo over the head.
One savage slap by the mule broke
one of the bears front legs and the
bulky animal fell PROSTATE, Then the
mule reversed himself and let loose
the death dealing assault from is hind
quarters.
The bear died shortly after Shawley
reached the scene. 1t weighed 262

TO CARRY A MANICURE SET
New Envelope Is Very Great Con
venience for Girl Who Makes
Many Visits.

A very great convenience for a trav
eller or for a girl who makes many
visits is a manicure envelope. 1t is
merely a case to hold the different
articles of her manicure set, but 1t Is
fiat and will fit much better In her
suit cas- or satchel than a box will
1t may be possible to buy n Of these
envelopes, but 1t certainly is more
than possible to make one-indeed. 1t
Is quite easy.
The handsomest are made of bro
cade, but linen taffetas and cretonne
may also be used, or any colored linen
or plain white heavy linen. The lat
ter has the advantage OF perfect laun-
dering qualities. But whatever ma
terial is used, it must be lined with
something strong enough to make the
envelope quite firm.
The measurements to be used for
this convenient little case cannot be
stated, for they much depend on how
many utensils its prospective owner
The Penn's Grove record., 1911-06-30

uses for her ~manicuring. The size of
these tools must also be considered,
for nall cleaners, scissors, polishers,
etc.. differ very much. So each girl
must spread out her own set and
make her measurements, cutting a
piece of the material wide enough to
allow them to lie In a row and long
enough to turn up at the bottom like
an envelope and down at the top for
the flap.
The lining is the same size and has
a separate piece stitched to 1t, max.
ing little pockets into which the vari
GUS articles are slipped. When the
stitching between the pockets is fin
ished the lining should be basted to
the outside and the two bound to-
gether with ribbon or tape. Then the
lower part is sewed over, partly v
ering the pockets, and the top fur
nished with buttons or snap catches
to fasten the flap.

Saving Eyes of Explorers.

Prof. ]. Won Kowalski, in a letter to
Nature CLondon), describes his obser-
vations of the spectra of sunlight re-
aected by snowfelds in Switzerland.
He finds that the ultraviolet rays are
reflected by snow almost in their en-
tirety. This fact helps to explain the
trying effects Of such light upon the
eyes and suggests the advisability Of
wearing, during a period Of snow and
sunshine, glasses that are opaque to
the ultraviolet rays.
