CHILD'S HEAD
A MASS OF HUMOR

II think the Cutieura remedies are
the best remedies for eczema have
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when il
was real young. Doctor called it baby
rash. He gave US medicine, but it did
no good. In few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. 1t was
awful; the child cried continually. We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
We remembered Cuticura Remedies.
We got dollar bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent, box of Cuticura Ointment,
and bar of Cuticura Soap. We gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cuticura Soap, and APP
piled the Cuticura Ointment We had
not used half before the child's head
was clear and free from eczema, and
it has never come back again His
head was healthy and he had beau
tiful head of hair. | think the Cuti-
cura Ointment very good for the hair
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair (Signed) Mrs Francis

MEDICAL INSPECTION SAVES
ally Examination of Pupils in Wausau
Public Schools Was Worth
So, During Year.

Wausau.-That the city in the
1909-1910 school year saved over S2,-
600 in addition to the time saved
the children who otherwise would
have been unable to attend school, is
the conclusion reached by S. B To-
hey, superintendent of schools, in
report on the results of one years
medical inspection in the Wausau
public schools.
Following the alarm caused by an
epidemic of scarlet fever, seven ply
sicians were employed to examine
daily pupils who had been absent
without satisfactory explanation or
had been exposed to disease. others
thought to have physical ailments
were also examined.
Parents were notified, and in
cases where they were unable to fur
nish necessary aid, one of two Wis
iting nurses were sent to the house
and medicine from a dispensary
maintained by subscription furnished
free.

WHEN THE CHILDREN PLAY
Appropriate Frocks for the Little Ones
Are in Order, and Many Vari-
cites Are Offered.

Our local shops are showing most
attractive little frocks to be worn dur
ing play hours by the little tots. and
it can readily be seen how very inter
esting they are made for these tiny
folks.
The trimming is mostly in band
form, some showing on a white back
ground a foany sea upon which floats
little blue vessels suggestive OF Dutch
origin, while upon a blue background
a group of little tots may be found
playing ring-around-rosie, or wild
looking animals may be diverting
themselves doing funny stunts, or II
one is a lover of pussy cats you will
find the story OF The Cat and the
Fiddle" attractively told in pictures
on some of these little rrocks, and as
for the dearly loved Teddy bear, do
not think he has been forgotten.
Naturally a dress apron or romper
portraying such interesting feats would
be the pride of it's small possessor,
and such care would be taken of it
that the mother would realize an ad-
vantage and saving in the purchase.
The imaginative mind of youth
might even find an inspiration, while
admiring the roIlicking blue ships,
playful tots, or wondrous stunts of
the animals, for story fancying, and
to many a lonesome tot these little
friends will become pIaymates and the
finding of real names for them, and
the weaving of wondrous plots around
them will occasion the spending Of
many happy hours that might other

EXPENDITURES Do
NOT EXCEED TAXES
TAX COMMISSION AYERS HEAVY
LEGISLATIVE RPPROPRfA-
TONS NO BURDEN.
NO DANGER OF DEFICIENCY
General Waste in Handling of Public
Money Is Admitted, But Revenue
Easily Keeps Pace With Growth
of States Expenses.

Madison. - Although admitting
that there is a waste generally in the
handling of public money, the state
tax commission, in its biennial re-
port just issued, declares that there
is little reason to fear that the pub
lie expenditures are growing at d
more rapid rate than the ability OF
the taxpayers to meet the burden.
The statistician of the commission,
A. e. James, in an exhaustive dis
cussion, gives credit to the tax COM
mission for adding to the assessment
rolls many millions of property which
hitherto had not borne their share
of the burden.
That horses, cattle, sheep and
swine form group of property which
appears to be assessed much above
the average and that the same holds
true of bank stock and merchants
and manufacturers stock, is Mr.
James conclusion. He states that
there is considerable evidence that
farm property is generally over
valued as compared with property in
cities and villages. for taxing pur-
poses. 1t is shown that as a whole
the northern part of the state is as
sessed at a lower ratio than the
southern.
Since 1872 taxes have increased
four times, local assessments five
times, state assessment seven times
times. Expressed still differently,
taxes have increased from 81 to $12
per capita, and the property assessed
for the payment of those taxes from
$500 to $645 per capita.

ErInqes Popular.

Unquestionably the most popular
trimming of the moment is silk fringe.
dyed exactly to match the fabric
upon which 1t is employed. Every i'm
portant house in Paris is making use
OF fringes. They appear on the under
petticcats and tunics of tailored suits
and costumes, they border the fchus
and sleeves OF bodices, AMI they edge
scarfs and nantes. The popular
effect is the simple silk fringe. mount
ed on braid or ribbon without any
knotted beading. These fringes range
in width from two 10 four inches.
One of the current ideas is tn trim
the skirt Of the dress with fringe, cut
ting away the fabric underneath, and
letting the fringe fall without lining
about the ankles. This accords soma
what with the idea of the slasheS
skirts.

To Wash Silk Stockings.

1t is something of a puzzle how to
wash silk stockings successfully, but
the following method has been used
with satisfactory results: Make soap
suds of lukewarm water and a good
grade of CASTLE soap. Do not use hot
water as it destroys the life of the
silk. Rinse in clear, cold water until
free from all soap, then pull the stock
ings lengthwise and press with
warm iron, never a hot one. They will
be as glossy as when new.

LUNCHEON ON THE PORCH
Delightful Form of Entertainment
During the Exceedingly Hot
Days of Summer.

A rather novel idea for summer
luncheon to be given on a porch is to
use four or six small tables. spread
over them the big frames made for
wagon umbrella use, covered with pa
per Towering vines One table should
be Of wistaria with the heavy stems
running down through the center of
The table to the standard, the table it
self to be covered with a lilac art
linen square, with serviettes to
match. The second table should have
the umbrella of pond lilies. their long
stems twining about the handle and
being caught at the bottom by cat
tails, the table being covered by an
art square of corn color with the
serviettes to match. The third table
may have the umbrella of the Grim
son rambler rose vines and roses, and
the table below should be covered
with the art linen in the old soft gray
green.
The fourth table may be of pink
morn1ng-glory vines and blossoms and
the linen cover below be of the pink
linen. Each table should use, if pos
sible, the china that is Of the same
color as the flowers, and in the menu,
the ices, jellies and cake should carry
out the color scheme as far as it is
possible to do so.
The rest of the porch may be fin
ished in southern smilax, which is in
expensive, ferns and potted plants
completing the green cool effect. Nat
ural flower corsage bouquets for the
ladies, fastened to fan, make pref
ty souvenir, and one side of the fan
may be chosen plain so that it may be
autographed by the guests present
Tiny flower pots of the paper "raff1a,"
with tiny paper plants in them, also
make very cunning favors.
If one wishes, and has the time, the
entire decorative scheme may be
made at home.
