NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

II have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance,
l always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case in particular
was that of lady friend Of mine who
when a child, was afflicted with &C.
Zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter-
walls with severer torture. She could
not go to school as the Disagreement
looked terrible. told her to get at
once a set Of the Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"a grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
l have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and used the Cuticura Ointment.
1t made his arm as timber and nice,
whereas 1t was quite stiff before I
began to apply the Ointment.
Last May I had an ingrowing toe

To,Lauah at Tuberculosis.
How did you become a

Much ignorance prevails among the
unfortunate victims of tuberculosis
and families of these unfortunates, ac-
cording to the Los Angeles Herald.
For such as these the words spoken
by Adolphus Knopf should be chiseled
in imperishable granite. Or, better
still, they should be published in ev-
cry public print, viz: There is no
such thing as hereditary tuberculosis.
The remedy is simple and all should
know it. 1t is one of the most easily
durable of all the chronic infectious
diseases. You can cure consumption
by the unstinted use of Gods good
fresh air, twenty-four hours in twenty
four, plenty of good food and plenty
of good water, inside and out. You
all know that cleanliness is next to
godliness. Children should get all
the fresh air possible. They should
sleep and play in the open air. They
should attend open-air schools"

be basted together and then pressed
with a warm iron.
The pressing will show whether the
outer side is smaller than the lining,
and If it does this fault must be
promptly corrected lest the strain up
on the silk cause it to pull away from
the center seam. When assured that
both sides are of equal size the edges
should be run together with a fine
thread and then bound with half inch
strips of suede or glace kid.
Covert cloth, striped worsteds and
fancy mohair make really serviceable
lap robes for moderate weather, and
as all of these fabrics are very wide
three yards will be enough for the
outer side, which should be tackled to
a lining of natural or colored linen,
and the edges of the two layers turned
in and stitched evenly together. Some
of the coverts and fancy worsted robes
are leather bound, but as it is impos-
sible to do this work with an ordinary
sewing machine the binding would
better be of tailor's silk or of kid.
Perambulator lap robes are the
daintiest affairs imaginable, and in the
process of construction are a delight
to the worker. A yard of extra width
French pique is quite sufficient for
one of the wide hemmed robes, head
ed with border of hand embroidery
or soutache, centered with small
monogram and trimmed with large
bows of satin ribbon attached to the
top corners. Then there are the lap
robes of allover embroidered batiste
in English eyelet or solid work, with
wide plain hemstitched borders in lieu
of the ruffles which of yore made the
front of the infant carriage resemble
a huge pin cushion, and newer still
are the lap robes of white French SER
pentine silk and linen crepe. These
latter are usually decorated with the
finest of hand embroidered forget-me-
nots if the perambulator's occupant Is
boy and with tiny pink rosebuds II
a girl is being wheeled about.

STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judges Opinion of Grape-Nuts.

A gentleman who has acquired ju-
on the bench out in the Sunflower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in our
bill of fare.
THE crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indis-
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
1T has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition-as a preventive Of
disease 1t is beyond value. have been
particularly impressed by the benefl-
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. 1t
clears up the complexion wonderfully
'As to its nutritive qualities, my ex-
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to pound of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor-
tant consideration for anyone. 1t sat
isfies the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while its
use involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow
a meat breakfast" Name given by

AP robe making is new industry
for the amateur needlewoman
- whose time hangs heavily on her
hands and it is one which may be
kept up the year round, since the lap
robe of summer differs in weight from
! the lap robe of autumn, and the one
for winter is of still heavier degree.
Each and every robe is intended to
serve the double purpose of protecting
the knees during a drive or when trav-
cling on steamer and the entire
figure during a siesta, for 1t should
be remembered that no matter how
warm may be the weather or the room
the sleeper's feet should always be
protected by a coverlid of some sort.
Linen finished crash in green, brown,
rose, blue or natural color in plain
effects or in two tone broad stripes is
used for summer lap robes, and as this
material is exceedingly wide two yards
of it is quite sufficient in case there
is to be an appliqued border of the
darker shade of the color selected,
joined beneath gimp of dyed coarse
lace or a border of black crash stem
ciled in shades repeating those of the
striped fabric.
More elaborate lap robes are of lin
en- surfaced crash in natural tone or
plain color hemmed broadly and
headed with drawn work. This would
seem like a tiresome task, but, as a
matter of fact, the threads are so
coarse that the hand work goes very
dc,
Linen scrim is another good material
for summer lap robe, for, while light
Of weight, the dust does not sift
through its meshes, and if the corners
of the robe are shot weighted they
will not blow away from about the
feet. The blocked designs in two
tones bordered or hem appliqued with
white are effective, and if time is not a
consideration to the needlewoman a
two by three yard piece of ivory toned
scrim may be ornamented with a dark
red, blue or brown soutache braid
outlined pattern and bordered with taf-
feta of a matching shade.
Solid colors in taffeta make charm
ing lap robes if they are properly fin
ished at the edges, otherwise they
will strongly resemble the silk quilts
made from the remaining breadths of
grandmother's tea party dress. The
correct way to make a silk lap robe is
to get the widest taffeta obtainable so
that there need be but one seam, and
that In the center, which Is of the
