FURNITURE IN SUMMER
UPHOLSTERED PIECES SHOULD
BE COVERED WITH SLIPS.
These May Be Of Chintz or Gay Gre,
tonne That Can Be Selected to
Match the Wall
paper.

The housekeeper who IN winter
time rejoices in her beautifully fur
nfture in summer time fees from it's
store where linen abounds. Nothing
can help more to cool the appearance
of a room than crisp slippery linen
furniture slips. Delightful results can
be attained at only a small expense,
for material costs but from twenty
five to seventy-fve cents yard. For
hard service plain brown Holland lin
en- or linen jute Is most practical, but
often the heart of the householder
yearns for something more ornamen-
tai. Then come vast quantities Of
chintz and gay cretonnes from which
she may choose. AS she is wise she
will of course, choose a material which
will harmonize with her wall paper
and floor covering. For this purpose
favOrite Is the material which has
white or deep ecru background, and
patterns in old pinks, olive green and
faded blues. This harmonizes with al
most any room whether the wood
work be white or mahogany. One at
tractive room with white wood work
had slip covers made of an ivory white
material, sprigged with rather con-
ventionalized flower in the popular
mulberry shade.
AS for the cutting and sewing Of
furniture covers, authorities say 1t is
no longer permissible to pipe the
seams with plain color. Seams are
hidden and the covers fit snugly now.
All of which means that the housewife
must be possessed of skilful scissors
and cut her slips with phenomenal &C
curacy to make them fit well-else she
must hire professional to help her,
which doubles the cost. However, if
well made, these covers last several
seasons.

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

ga few days after birth we noticed
an inflamed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even in
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have stitch of
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He Is
very able physician and ranks with
the best in, this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
mot until / commenced using Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, 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.
Before we used the Cuticura Rem
edies we could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until I would treat him, they
semed to relieve him SO much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B..
Rosser, Mill Hall, Pa, Feb. 20, 1911.

ment are sold by druggists and deal

Cake will not stick to their tins if
placed on damp cloth when removed
from the oven.
In making crusts of any kind, do not
melt the lard in the -four. Melting will
injure the crust
When making fruit pies, damp the
edge with milk instead of water. 1t
holds better, and the juice is not liable
to boil over
Before preparing vegetables or fruits
that stain the fingers, very good plan
is to previously rub the thumb and
fore-fnger with a little grease, which
will prevent the stains that are so
unsightly and difficult to remove.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
