DISFIGURED WITH CRUSTS

Some time ago l was taken with
eczema from the top Of my head to
my waist. 1t began with scale, on my
body l suffered untold itching and
burning, and could not sleep. I was
greatly disfigured with scales and
crusts. My ears looked as If they had
been most cut off with a razor, and
my neck was perfectly raw | suffered
untold agony and pain. l tried two
doctors who said I had eczema in its
fullest stage, and that it could not
be cured. l then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, l tried a set
of the genuine Cuticura Remedies,
which cured me Of eczema when all
else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.
II suffered with eczema about ten
months, but am 10Y entirely cured,
and l believe Cuticura Remedies are
the best skin cure there is" (Signed)

WHITE GOODS SALES
ATTRACT ATTENTION
Shoppers Are Interested in the
Cotton Goods Displays
Suitings Charming.

While the air Is still vibrant with
the echoes Of Christmas bells, great
changes have taken place In the de-
J partment stores as well as in the small
er and more exclusive shops. Holiday
goods have been shifted from shelves
to bargain tables. white goods of ali
kinds have flooded the counters and
markdowns Of every description are
the features of the entire shopping dis
trict. 1t seems a miracle worthy OF
the fairies. all this work In SO brief a
time.
OF course the white sales are going
to take e~verybody's attention for the
next few weeks. and first corners are
going to find among the bales Of goods
made especially for such sales many
a prize marked down from a much
higher price than the one asked for
overhauling before midwinter stock
taking and before the new spring goods
are all In. Some thrifty souls who know
their W minds and their friends de-

The new cottons are the features
which everybody is watching for now.
There are women who still make up
their summer frocks In January and
leave February for restocking the linen
closet from the markdowns in linens
which come as regularly at this season
as skating. The new cottons will not
be in full swing before the LIST Of jan
uary, but some are here and rumors
are adrift which tell much of their
story. One Of the novelties to be
brought out IL fringed borders with all
cotton and with silk cotton mixtures.
In the former case the fringe Is made

Borders On Silks and cottons.
Borders are to be more used thar
ever unless the buyers have all made
an egregious blunder, and who ever
knew them to SO misread the signs Of
the times? There are borders for cot
tons and silks as well. And even the
new linens are going to show them.
1t Is going to be a great linen year,
the buyer says, but the new cotton
suitings also predict a wonderful vogue
for everything in the way of wash
goods. Some Of the new cotton suit
ings are charming in the extreme. The
one that looks and feels like ratine haa
already been described, but deserves
another mention.
But While the cottons are getting
themselves into place for their first

Modern Heating System.

The heating system will be of the most
modern character. and 1t is contemplated
to make the ventilating system entirely
independent of the heating systm. The
rooms throughout the entire building will
be thoroughly We Inflated on basis of
about 1000 cubic feet per hour per EN-
ploye in the most crowded portions, and
800 cubic feet in the offices and less
crowded portions. The ventilating sys-
tenn will change the air two to three times
per hour in the various rooms and offices.
The windows are large in all cases, thus
insuring a maximum amount of natural
light and minimum need for artificial
light.
a special refrigeratinG and distllling
system will be installed for producing
pure water for drinking purposes, foun-
tains being so located that employees will
have to go a minimum distance to obtain
the water.
A sufficency of modern elevators Will
be provided both to handle the output
and to transport the employees to ana
from the upper floors. Special mechani-
cal means will be provided wherever pos
sible to transport the output from one
operation to the next. thus reducing
truckage to the minimum. Wherever
possible the divisions are so arranged
that the raw material enters at one end
product without any unnecessary lost
motion or criss-crosSing
The stairways are specially designed to
serve fire escapes, and the stairways
from each floor are mostly independent
of each other. thus tending to greater
safety in ease of stampede or panic.
All of the appliances installed will be
of latest design, and the building when
completed will be the best of its kind
anywhere to be seen.
On the opposite side of 18th street from
the new bureau of engraving and print
ing construction work is nearing COM
pletion ON a six-story office building which
already is under lease to the govern
ment and it will be occupied by several
bureaus of the Department of Agricul-
