ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP

Lebanon, O.-"My eczema started
on my thigh with small pimple. 1t
also came on my scalp. 1t began to
Itch and I began to scratch. For
eighteen or twenty years l could not
tell what I passed through with that
awful itching. l would scratch until
the blood would soak through my un-
derwear, and l couldn't talk to my
friends on the street but l would be
digging and punching that spot. until
I was very much ashamed. The Itch
ing was so intense l could not sleep
after once in bed and warm. certain

Imagine my delight when applied the
first dose to that awful itching fire
on my leg and scalp, in less than a
minute the itching on both places

LOSES SEAT IN CONGRESS
Representative catIin of Missouri Is
Ousted From House, But Wins
Bride Same Day.

Washington, July 22.-While the go
ciety columns of Washington newspa-
pers were announcing Friday the en-
gagement of Representative Theron e.
Catlin of Missouri to Miss Laura Mer-
riam, daughter of former Gov. William
R. Merriam Of Minnesota, the house
elections committee No. 2 was report
ing that Representative Catlin's elec.
tion to congress had been obtained by
fraud and declaring his seat vacant.
The vote in the committee was to
3, the record having shown that $13,,
900 was expended by the candidate
and his father, Daniel Catlin, a re-
tired tobacco multi-millionaire Of St
Louis.
1t was contended on behalf Of the
accused representative that most OF
this money was expended by his ia,
ther without his own personal knowl
edge, but this bore no weight with the
members of the committee.

THE BALANCED RATION.

Preparing a balanced ration for
ones family means more than one
would think. The season, the climate,
age, occupation and condition OF
health must all be considered in de-
termining the food for an individual
In different seasons different foods
are best; this is also true OF climatic
conditions. The age. too, has much
to do in deciding what is best for the
diet. The occupation of person,
namely an indoor or outdoor worker,
the kind and amount Of food varies
for such.
1t is only within recent years that
women have begun to study these
needs of the family, and now there
are comparatively few who give 1t
more than passing thought. Many
women feel that instinct tells them
the kind Of food to prepare. 1t may
be true with some, but instinct is not
reliable guide, as many sufferers
from all sorts of stomach troubles
and other diseases painfully testify.
There are many people today suffer
ing in middle life because of improp'
er feeding in their youth.
The proteids are represented in our
diet by meats, eggs, milk and cheese;
the carbohydrates by sugars and
starches and the fats by butter, cream
and nuts. When we speak of bal
anced ration We mean all these food
principles used in the diet in proper
tion to the, needs of the body. A
growing child needs bone and muscle
building food, such as eggs, milk
grains as cereal food and as bread
The outdoor worker is able to con
sumo and assimilate more and heart
ier food than the Office man or schoo
teacher.
The problem of foods, as to quan
tity and food value, must be worked
out by every woman who has the re
sponsibility of feeding household
We are glad to learn that in these
days of high prices in meats there are
other foods of equal value as to sus
tanning power IL nuts, peas and com
binations of vegetables, with very
little meat for flavor.

up TO LEGISLATURE
oENEEN CANNOT APPOINT NEW
SENATOR.
Under Lea Resolution Election Was
Invalid, the Legislature Alone
Having the Power to Act.

Springfield, H., July 19.-Attorney
General Stead, in a voluminous opin-
ion, rendered to the governor Wednes-
day, holds that the unseating of Sena-
tor Lorimer creates no vacancy and
Governor Deneen has no power to
appoint a successor.
Whether a special session Of the
legislature will be called at once so
that Lorimer's successor may be
elected has not been decided. Gov
ernor Deneen declined to discuss this
phase of the situation. He said he
had not decided what he would do.
In contending there is no vacancy
within the meaning Of the Constitu-
ton, Attorney General Stead cites as
analogous the cases Of Lee Mantle
Of Montana and Matthew S. Quay of
Pennsylvania Mantle had served a
full term, but the Montana legislature,
though in session and legally organ
lied, failed to elect his successor.
The state executive proceeded to ap-
point, contending there was a va
cancy, but the federal senate decided
that the legislatures failure to elect
did not create vacancy as constitu,
tionally considered. The facts in the
Quay case are substantially the same
The opinion incidentally sets forth
that the senate investigation was not
to inquire into the conduct of Mr.
Lorimer as senator. It did not expel
him, but it determined that his elec
tion was invalid" and therefore tech
nically, there had been no election.

HELPFUL HINTS.

Lettuce, parsley, cucumbers and
radishes may be kept fresh and crisp
by draining after washing in cold
water, then cover in tight dish.
Potatoes, especially the new ones,
may be reheated when cooked by
dropping them into boiling water for
a few moments, to become hot.
Kitchen floors and tables Of pine
may be made white by scrubbing
them with cold water, soap and wood
ashes. This is rather hard on the
hands, however.
Soiled towels may be treated in this
manner and become white again.
Place them in kettle and cover with
cold water. Add shavings Of pure soap
and the juice of a lemon. Place on
the back of the stove and allow the
water to gradually come to a boil. If
very much soiled the process may
have to be repeated.
When food has cooked on to dish,
remove it from the heat and set 1t at
once into cold water. The steam will
escape from the outside instead OF
passing up through the food. Re,
move the food from the pan and
proceed with the cooking, or add the
sauce and serve.
When beating eggs, beat the whites
first and add a spoonful of the beaten
whites to the yolks. They will beat
up much lighter and the yolks will not
stick to the beater.
When lighting the gas, strike the
match and slowly turn on the gas. Sc
many people turn on the gas full force
then apply the match; an explosion
follows which sends the meter for
ward.
Orange fritters are as delicious ar
accompaniment to broiled or fried
ham as we'll as duck, as is apple sauce
to spare rib.
Some one who knows says that par
afine rubbed on the heels and toes o.
stockings will cause them to last
much longer.
Mint may be stepped and strained
and kept to add to lemonade for 6
palatable and cooling drink.
Mint vinegar Is another use for the
fragrant mint. In preparing any
drink of mint the water should bt
kept covered until cool SO that the
favor is not lost.
Casters need oil occasionally, not tot
much, for it may soil the rug or car
pet by dripping, or gather dust. Th'
caster should be carefully wiped afteI
applying the oil.
Line some small patty tin with pas
try, bake and then fill with steweC
figs, add the sirup and top it will

FAVoRITE FRUIT DISHES.

Next to the taste and palatability
OF our food, We like to have it appeal
to the eye. Food nicely served and
daintily garnlshed will be much more
appetizing than that which is served
carelessly.
A luscious basket of fruit garnished
with its own leaves, when possible,
is an ornament to any table.
For those who cannot eat uncooked
apples or pears, here is a dainty dish
to set before them: Stew the fruit in
a rich sirup until tender enough to
pierce easily, then decorate with quar-.
ters of blanched almonds, dust with
powdered sugar and return to the
oven to finish baking with the sirup
poured around them. The almonds
will be roasted and the fruit delicious.
Serve with whipped cream. If pears
are used a little lemon juice in the
sirup is an addition.
When fresh fruit is not obtainable,
mold few preserved strawberries in
an orange jelly and serve the qlSiv-
ering mounds with whipped cream
and little Of the preserves.
Halves of muskmeIons filed with
ice cream and garnished with small
pieces of candied ginger to simulate
seeds is both palatable and pretty.
Roasted almonds may be used in place
Of the ginger.
Cored apples filed with mixture
of nuts and marmalade and then COW
cred with a meringue is another way
of serving apples.
