SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

my mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking Of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did 1t no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint,
ment?' Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti.

head Of hair she has for an old lady

MY own case was an eczema in my

came my feet would itch and burn and

WIRELESS OF NEAR FUTURE
Practical Applications Of Revolution
ary Principles Of Art Have Only
Begun, Says Tesla.

THE practical applications of the
revolutionary principles OF the WIRE
less art have only begun. What will
be accomplished In the future baf-
fles ones apprehension"
This startling prophecy Is made BY
Mr.. Nikola Tesla. In speaking Of the
utility OF wireless tranmission In the
near future he said: THE attention
OF the world has been caught and
held by the wireless telegraph. and
yet this is very primitive use of the
art. So far only electric waves have
been used, which have been quickly
damped out in their passage through
the air. 1t Is possible, however, to
transmit electric currents for thou
sands of miles OF enormous power
without diminishing their energy.
This Is not a theory, but truth es-
tablished by many practical expert
ments. 1t will soon be possible to
transmit wireless messages all over
the world so simply that any indi-
vidual can carry and operate his own
apparatus. The wireless transmission

ly new era in mechanical develop
ments.
1T will soon be possible for in

York to dictate instructions and have
them appear instantly in type in Lon
don or elsewhere. He will be able
to call up from his desk and talk
with any telephone subscriber In the
world. 1t will only be necessary TO
carry an inexpensive instrument not
bigger than a watch, which will en-
able its bearer to hear anywhere on
sea or land for distances of thou
sands Of miles. One may listen or
transmit speech or song to the utter
most parts Of the world. In the same
way any kind Of picture, drawing, or
print can be transferred from one
place to another. 1t will be possible
to operate millions of such instru-
ments from single station"

ARRANGE FLOWERS HASTILY
A Little Thought and Time Alone
Necessary to Produce An Ar
tIstic Effect.

A knack for arranging flowers may
be developed into great gift by the
girl who wishes to add to her per-
sonality the charm of varied accom-
plishments.
Even in elaborate establishments
the most exquisite and expensive hot
house blossoms are often poorly ar
ranged. They are left to servants
who are ignorant Of artistic effect,
and so lose half their beauty.
If girl has pretty gift Of this
sort she may often have occasion to
use 1t at weekend parties and so lift
large item Of worry from the har-
a1sed mind Of the house party hostess
and at the same time gain for her
self the reputation of being a most
satisfactory guest.
At country houses where flowers
are brought every day from the hot
houses only a little time every morn
ing need be given to seeing that the
vases are freshly filled and taste dis
played in their arrangement. But If
one is staying in simpler house
then more time Is required for the
exercise of this happy gift, as the
flowers must be picked as we'll as ar
ranged.
If there Is clock and pair of can
dlesticks or vases Of bronze on the
mantle, surround them with Ivy or a
groundwork Of caladium leaves. filled
in with the clusters Of pink dahlias,
which must be put into small bowls
of water that are hidden by the
greenery. Or, remove the ornaments
and have seven white candles gradu-
ated In pyramid fashion, the tallest in
the center. Each candle must be
stuck firmly into small can filled
with sand and hidden by the foliage
The floral arrangements should
conform with the candles, graduating
in pyramid style. This arrangement
has striking effect at night when
the same flowers are piled In like
manner on the dinner table.
A more simple idea can be carried
out by filling shallow pan with wet
sand and imbedding the candles in
this. Then fill the pan with flowers
or merely asparagus fern In the cen
ter with border of white, pink OF
yellow chrysanthemums, set singly
and primly In.

Health Regained by Right Food.

The average healthy man or woman
is usually eager to be busy at some
useful task or employment.

Why Do They.

Why women like the baldheaded
man it Is somewhat difficult to define
1t may be because he appears to be:
Thoughtful and kind.
Trustworthy and confiding. Whim-
steal. Past the follies and frivolities
of youth.
Usually successful.
A man of property
Opinions why women like the bald
headed man obtained by the Daily
Mirror are as follows:
He is not silly like young men.
He accepts refusals of marriage so
nicely that one is sorry one did not
accept him.
The bald patch looks so clean and
nice. One would like to kiss it.
A doctor welcomes badness when it
comes to him, as 1t is a sign of Sc
dateness and dignified learning, which
