BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. 1 bought several
boxes Of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time He
had it about six months when a friend
told me about Cuticura. | sent and
got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long maps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent, two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of Soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuticura
Il have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Soap several times since to use
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fail to cure what l put
them on. l think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to
use it. Cuticura Soap is the best that
have ever used for toilet purposes"

sleeplessness and disturbed heart ac-
ton. The presence of a substance in
the coffee, called caffeine, is perhaps
the cause OF these disorders as it has
a stimulating effect on the nerves.
Another substance, called tannin, is
found in coffee that has been boiled
a long time. This substance him
ders digestion by toughening and
shriveling the delicate Innings of the
mouth and stomach. Fresh cof-
fee should be made each time. Cof-
fee should not be allowed to boil more
than three to five minutes, and in
making percolated coffee ten minutes
is sufficient time.
Rules to Be Remembered.
l. Always keep ground coffee in a
tightly closed can. If coffee is ground
at home, just the amount needed at
the time should be ground to prevent
loss of favor.
2. Use good quality of coffee;
good results need not be expected
from the cheapest grades.
8. Never use a tin coffee pot. The
tannin unites with the tin and forms
undesirable compounds.
4. Always empty the coffee pot aft
er using. Scald it thoroughly before
using.
Boiled coffee is probably used more
than that made by other methods, and
is quite satisfactory, if not boiled too
long and is well cleared. Coffee is
cleared by using egg or cold water.
Egg clears coffee by entangling the
grounds as it thickens and carrying
them to the bottom of the pot Either
the white or the yolk, or both may be

Worryinu Hapniness.

The bishop of Manchester, speaking
at a meeting at Church house, West
minister, said the secret of happiness
was to have sufficient multitude of
worries.
The man who had only one worry,
blind that would not be pulled up
straight by the servant, or a coal
scuttle the bottom of which was al
ways coming out, found his way to
the lunatic asylum, but the man who
had no time to dwell upon his wor-
ries because he had to go from one to
another, and hack again and round

there was short fight of stairs, and

on the lights.
'The bags of gold are in the next

Mr., Grimm dragged them out of a
dark closet, opened one--there were

through his fingers. Finally he turned
and stared at Miss Thorne, who, pal

Coffee is a very popular beverage in
most homes. 1t has no value as a food,
as 1t does not supply the body with
building material, or with heat, but it
acts as a stimulant to the central nerv-
Gus system, and with the other bever-
ages, is one of the sources of water in
the body.
If properly made and used in mod
crate amounts, to the majority of peo-
pie coffee, is not harmful. Excessive
