ANXIETY WAS FOR THE KEG
OVercharee Small Matter, but Gus
toner Did Hate to See Good
Material Hurt.

Every nail-keg in the store had its
occupant, the checker-board was work
Ing overtime, and mttens and muf-
flers were stuffed in bulgy pockets, as
their owners drew closer round the
big, rusty stove.
The door opened noisily, letting in a
blast of the storm raging outside. and
In it's wake followed Rufe Blevins, a
giant woodchopper, whose good ma
ture and ready wit made him a well
come addition to the store circle.
The loafers moved little closer to-
gether to make room for Rufe on
soap-box, but he marched past the
friendly circle, pumped an empty
molasses-keg down on the counter,
and drew a stained bill from his
pocket, which he held out to the pro-
prietor of the store.
An eXpectant grin went round the
circle, for Storekeeper Jones had the
reputation of never wronging himself
by overwhelming or undercharging.
The merchant adjusted his glasses
and looked expectantly from the bill
to the wood-chopper

= VERY one with an eye for beau
+, ty values in the new styles will
want hair band. The hair band
not a novelty, but it is revival
which, for two reasons, has been
steadily gaining ground in favor.
Those consummate judges of the
beautiful and artistic-the ancient
Greeks-show us, in what remains of
their art, that their women bound up
their hair with bands, and the Greek
coiffure, like the Greek architect, still
stands the most excellent of all
achievement in its line, writes Julia
Bottomley in the Illustrated Milliner.
The demand for the band has become
so general that bands of many de-
Scriptions and styles, designed for
women of various ages, compilations
and build, are now manufactured and
put on the market, all ready to adjust
10 the head.
There are plain black bands of vel
vet or silk ribbon, finished with plain
Hat bow, or a rosette for morning wear,
which means also that they are ap-
propriate for the business woman dur
ing her working hours. They fasten
with enc or two hooks and eyes, and
are not confined to black but are
shown in black with little silver or
white, or in white with black markings
suitable for very gray hair.
The Aair band supports the hair
which, as the day wears on, has a
tendency to sag, unless provided with
some artificial support. It keeps the
'scolding locks from flying loose and
struggling about the neck and face.
The charm of neatness is hardly sec
ond to that of beauty, and has beau
~ of its own, which has been known to
win out over very beautiful but sloppy
creatures. Besides these virtues the
hair band is becoming If the hair is
dull and lifeless, the band brightens it.
The older ladies with beautiful white
hair, understand the life and sparkle
resulting from the vivid contrast of
the black velvet band, or one of vivid
green The glow of silver strands or
he sparkle of cut steel or rhinestones
On the band makes the white couture
A thing of distinction and beauty which
IS different from any other. The black
hair, that is lacking in the luster and
shine" essential to beauty in dark
shades, borrows brilliancy from gold

SCRATCHED TILL BLOOD RAN

when my boy was about three
months old his head broke out with
rash which was very itchy and ran a
watery fluid. We tried everything we
could but he got worse all the time,
till it spread to his arms, legs and
then to his entire body. He got so
bad that he came near dying. The
rash would itch so that he would
scratch till the blood ran, and thin
yellowish stuff would be all over his
pillow in the morning. l had to put
mittens on his hands to prevent him
tearing his skin. He was so weak
and run down that he took fainting
spells as if he were dying. He was
almost a skeleton and his little hands
were thin like claws.
HE was bad about eight months
when we tried Cuticura Remedies. l

in the daytime for long while.

put on one application of Cuticura

near one cake Of Cuticura Soap to
cure him. think our boy would have

with a broad sailor collar and the

the folds of the fichu being drawn

reason for the almost universal be-
