PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

an inflamed spot on our baby's hip

pronounced It chronic eczema He is

was losing flesh so rapidly that we be-

cura Soap and Ointment
Not until I commenced using Cuti-

application after another on him On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came OF, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured I don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.

HOW TO MAKE A CISTERN OF CONCRETE

The construction of a good cistern
depends somewhat upon the nature
of the soil If the soil is very firm
the excavation may simply be plas-
tered with cement-right on the earth.
E. B. Mccormick, dean of mechanic
arts at the Kansas State Agricultural
College, says this is one way, but not
the best way to make a cistern. A far
better way would be to make the ex-
cavation Cylindrical in shape and not
drawn in at the top. The jug shaped
cistern has no advantage over the
one with vertical sides.
Build a wooden frame inside the els
tern allowing a space of three inches
between the form and the earth.
This form extends from the bottom of
the excavation to a foot above the
surface of the ground. Pipes enter
ing and leaving are then put in posi-
ton
Make a concrete filing of one part
cement, two parts sand, and tour parts
small rock. Add to this ten pounds
of hydrated lime for every 100 pounds
of cement Thoroughly mix this with
water and fill in between the form
and the wall The concrete should be
kept at an even height all the way
around.
After this wall of concrete has be-
come sufficiently hardened remove the
wooden forms and plaster with thin
grout. This grout can be applied with
a white wash brush. Make a cement
floor of the concrete wash with the
grout and the cistern is nearly COM
pleted.
The top for a cistern of this kind
is made as follows: Build wooden
platform over the opening and upon
this and over the center Of the cistern
lay a circular form of galvanized iron,
two feet in diameter and four inches

AN IMPORTANT BULLETIN ON ROAD MAKING

Valuable Advice How Build, Grade Maintain the Highways

Do you know how 20 build a road;

the top of the platform for reinforce
ment. These bars should be raised
an inch or two from the wooden pat
form. Concrete is then filed in over
the top with the exception of the two

After a few days the wooden plat
form can be removed from beneath
and the cistern is finished Bolts

hole in the top, buried with the nut,
up so that the pump or top nay be
securely fastened down. As a pre-
caution earth should be filed IN about
the top so as to drain water from and
