SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK

Kingsley, Mich.-"Last May my
thirteen-months-old baby had sore
come on her cheek. 1t started in four
or five small pimples and in two or
three hours time spread to the size of
q silver dollar. 1t spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the PIN
pies and wherever that touched it caus-
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
Then got some Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything We put on so that we
would sit and hold her hands for two
hours at time, trying to give the
medicine a chance to help her, but
after l washed 1t with Cuticura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint-
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off. 1t
was only few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
no return Of the trouble since. We
thought that baby's face would surely
be SCARED, but 1t is not" (Signed)

PUT UP CELERY SEASONING
Excellent Table condiment May Easily
Be Made at Home-Use for Old
Wash Boiler.

An excellent celery seasoning may be
made at home. Get five cents worth
of celery seed; run it through the fin
est knife of the grinder or break it in
a mortar; mix with about ten times
its bulk Of table salt and bottle.
Nothing is more suitable for the
warm weather curtains than scrim or
even linen in a coarse weave, and IL
this is bought in a plain color lovely
sets for doors and windows can be
made with the addition of little stem
CLING.
A use for an old wash-boiler is to
stand 1t in a convenient place on the
back porch or near the back steps, and
put all old papers in it. When the
boiler is full set it in the path and ap-
ply a match to the papers. Keep the
lid Of the boiler on until the proper
time comes to burn the waste.
In washing very fine muslins, they
should be soaked in tepid water in
which borax has been dissolved, one
tablespoonful of borax to a gallon Of
water being sufficient After half an
hour they can be rubbed gently in
soapsuds made of fine white curd soap,
and boiling water then poured over
them and left to cool. They should be
we'll rinsed and squeezed rather than
wrung out.

WILLING TO SHARE PENNIES
Generous Act Of Atreet Walt That
Gained Him Friend In
Great Novelist.

Charles Dickens, the creator OF
many delightful child characters,
earned million dollars during his
lifetime with his pen, but often walk.
ed the streets of London in search OF
material for his books without a penny
in his pocket.
One evening while doing this he
was accosted by a small boy who
asked him for a penny. Dickens search
ed his pockets, but they we're empty,
and so he told the boy. who was shiv-
ering in the cold.
Poor mani" exclaimed the little
fellow, well go hunks together!"
Dickens stood back In the shadow
of the street to see what the outcome
would be. The lad continued to beg,
and finally gained two pennies He
came dancing to DickensHw a jolly
ring In his voice.
Now" he said, well have two hot
buns apiece!"
Such a generous spirit under such
trying circumstances struck Dickens
so forcibly that he took the lad home
with him, and there he was fed and
clothed, and started on the road to a
better life.
