NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES

Il have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance,
I always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case in particular
was that of lady friend of mine who,
when a child, was afflicted with &C.
zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter-
walls with severer torture. She could
not go to school as the Disagreement
looked terrible. l told her to get at
once a set of the Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall Of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
l have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his

in the side of my toe. l cut the nail
out of the cavity it made, and Of
course applied the Cuticura Ointment

ENORESHADOWING already what
we may expect for the coming
fall season, the hats for late
summer indicate that we shall have
many bonnet-like shapes. tall crowns
and large hats few in number as COM
pared to small and medium-sized
models. Outing hats for July and Au-
gust are of felt in white or light
colors, such as Alice blue, champagne
and the seasons beautiful pink tones.
These are either all felt or felt and
hemp combinations and are trimmed
with scarfs, bands, soft draperies of
chiffon and wings or ribbon. They
are exquisite and, it must be con-
fessed, fragile in the matter of keep

with fine sandpaper. Everywhere the
floating white veil accompanies these

rieties. in coarse silk nets and in
chiffon. They are all washable and
add immensely to the attractiveness

they are worn either over or off the

TO PREVENT SAGGING SKIRTS
Have Garment Properly Prepared Be.
fore It Is Turned Up to
Be Hemmed.

Summer dress skirts when made of
thin material will always sag after
they are hemmed and finished if care
is not taken to prevent it. A good way
to do is to have the skirt sagged first
before it is turned up to be hemmed.
This is done after the skirt is COM
pletely finished excepting the hem,
from the band to the final fitting and
the last hook and eye is in its place
The skirt is now hung in closet or
better still, put upon full-length
dress form raised from the floor by
placing it on box and the bias por-
lions of the cores weighted so they
will stretch to the fullest extent.
After several days of this strain the
material will have sagged to its full
est extent. and the hem may be meas
ured and turned up. Anything will
do for weighing The smallest weights
from the kitchen scales, put in tenn
porary coverings of muslin and pin
ned on, are excellent. Any other small
objects of uniform heaviness will do
for other weights.

MILK FROM DEVON WAS BEST
Celebrated Chemist, After Examina.
ton, Gives His Opinion as to
Which Is Best for Babies.

Some years ago celebrated chem.
ist, after examining the milk of differ
ent cows. made the following report
as to which was the best milk to raise
babies on: The Jersey had too much
oil in 1t, the Holstein too much cheese.
and the milk from the Devons was the
best, as it had more sugar In 1t ane
nearer the milk of the baby's mother,
says the American Cultivator Just
then young mother died leaving a
baby twelve days old, and it so hap
pened that the father read this report.
so he rented fresh Devon milk cbw
and fed the babe on the milk of that
COW for more than two years. She
grew up to be a fine, large, healthy
young lady. and at fifteen years of age
was two inches taller than her father,
and in her class at school with girls
much older than she was.

a full ruche of silk 'pinked" at the

veloping so much popularity that it

pictured here are quite like to be

crown at the right side.

keep them clean and comfortable to

to wash them before every milking

During fly time the tails of the
cows to be MIXED are fastened with

After the cows are washed, a small

them from lying down; after they are
MIXED, the chains are unfastened and
the COWS are allowed to lie down.
