SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with a
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and a thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. / had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was SO weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he we're dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
HE was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. 1
had not laid him down in his cradle
in the daytime for a long while. I
washed him with Cuticura Soap and
put on one application of Cuticura
Ointment and he was SO soothed that
he could sleep. You don't know how
glad I was he felt better. It took one
box of Cuticura Ointment and pretty
near one cake of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. I think our boy would have
died but for the Cuticura Remedies
and 1 shall always remain a firm
friend of them. There has been no
return of the trouble. I shall be glad
to have you publish this true state
ment of his cure" (Signed) Mrs. M.

STRIPES IN CURTAINS
PRETTY PATTERNS ARE SEEN
IN MUsLINs AND NETS.
Easement Design, Which Dispenses
With the Window Blind, ls the
Most PopuIar-VeIvet Hang
Inqs a Costly Fancy.

The curtain which is most popular
at the moment Is the easement design.
This curtain is extremely practical, for
it dispenses with the window blind
and looks well in most rooms, no mat

walls. Easement curtains can be mt

in their favor-and they can be car
Red out in all kinds of materials. from
soft silk to Shantung.
The rage for stripes in the world OF
dress has extended to curtains.
Striped designs are to be seer In nets,
muslins, etc., and very pretty they
look. Dwarf curtains for the little
easement windows are already to be
had striped in insertion, or the stripes
are simply woven in the material It
self.
The Vitrage curtains from France
gain in popularity each year. Made to
hang fatty on the window, they are
quite narrow, and finished with shaped
or square ends. Vitrage curtains are
particularly adapted for French win
dows, and they can be either short
or long, just as the housewife likes.
The new muslin curtains, patterned
with rosebuds, are being finished with
plain hemstitched borders, and a pref
ty idea when using these curtains in
bedrooms is to have the bedspread to
match.
To have the hangings in the room
In soft rich velvet in the same color
ing and decoration as the carpet Is a
fancy of the season which Is some
what costly, but very lovely. particu-
larly when the Persian ~colorings are
used. The following materials for the

velvet, moires, tapestry, chenille, silk,
tissue, etc. In design there are floral
effects, conventional patterns and an
tique reproductions, while in some
cases the material Is quite plain with
heavy fringe in silk as a finish.

ANXIETY WAS FOR THE KEo
o~vercharge a Small Matter, but Gus
toner Did Hate to See Good
Material Hurt.

Every nail-keg In the store had its
occupant, the checker-board was work
ing overtime, and mittens and muf-
fers were stuffed In bulgy pockets, as
their owners drew closer round the
big, rusty stove.
The door opened noisily, letting in a
blast of the storm raging outside, and
in its wake followed Rufe Blevins, a
giant wood-chopper, whose good ma
ture and ready wit made him a well
come addition to the store circle.
The loafers moved a little closer to-
gether to make room for Rufe on a
soap-box, but he marched past the
friendly circle, pumped an empty
molasses-keg down on the counter,
and drew a stained bill from his
pocket, which he held out to the pro-
prietor of the store.
An ~expectant grin went round the
circle, for Storekeeper Jones had the
reputation of never wronging himself
by overwhelming or undercharging.
The merchant adjusted his glasses
and looked e~xpectantly from the bill
to the wood-chopper.
Notice you charged me for five gal
Ions O. molasses last time l had this

A WIDOWS LUCK
Quit the Thing That Was Slowly In
Turing Her.

A woman tells how coffee kept her
from insuring her life:
II suffered for many years chiefly
from trouble with my heart, with
severe nervous headaches and neu-
ralgia; but although incapacitated
at times for my homework, l did not
realize the gravity of my condition till
l was rejected for life insurance, be-
cause. the examining physician said,
my heart was SO bad he could not pass
me.
This distressed me very much, as
l was a widow and had a child de-
pendent upon me. 1t was to protect
her future that I wanted to insure
my life.
fortunately for me, l happened to
read an advertisement containing a
testimonial from a man who had been
affected in the same way that I was
with heart trouble, and who was bene-
flied by leaving off coffee and using
Postum. l grasped at the hope this
held out, and made the change at
once.
my health began to improve imme-
diately. The headaches and neuralgia
disappeared, 1 gained in flesh, and my
appetite came back to me. Greatest
of all, my heart was strengthened
from the beginning, and SOC all the
distressing symptoms passed away. No
more waking up in the night with my
heart trying to fly out of my mouth!
Then I again made application for
life insurance, and had no trouble in
passing the medical examination.
1T was seven years ago that I be-
gan to use Postum and I am using 1t
still, and shall continue to do SO, as /
find it a guarantee Of good health"

Flower Selection.

In selecting flowers for the sitting
or drawing room thought should be
given to the general tone of decora-
ton. If the wall paper be a soft, dull
blue or green, above all if the aspect
be north, yellow or orange flowers
seem to provide the sunshine that is
lacking; and from the beginning of
autumn to its return there Is seldom
a month when some blossom does not
approach the glorious sun in tone.
Yellow chrysanthemums, double and
single daffodils, sweet tulips, plain
and variegated; buttercups redolent of
the country and the effective but not
always appreciated nasturitium, in its
many hues, from straw color to orange
and chestnut; American marigolds,
the small perennial sunflower and the
barberry with it's yellow clusters, will
tax us round the clock"

OF course the majority of high

havoc in the coloring. says the Phila-

Churches and tuberculosis.

Statistics showing how serious a
problem tuberculosis Is to the ordi-
nary church congregation have been
issued by the National Association
for the Study and Prevention Of
tuberculosis. From reports received
from over 725 churches, with a men,
bership of over 312. 200 communicates
of twenty denominations, and from
208 cities and towns in IL states in
various parts of the country, out of
nearly 1000 deaths in 1910, owe 700
or 10 per cent were caused by tuber-
culosis. This means 2.24 deaths for
every thousand members or COM
m~unicants. While the percentage of
deaths from tuberculosis compared
with other diseases is not higher In
the churches, according to these fig
ures, than in the country at large, the
tuberculosis death rate, as shown by
the church returns, is higher per
thousand communicates than that for
the general population in the registra-
ton area of the United States, which
the census bureau gave as 1.67 in
1909.
