Woollen blankets may be cleaned in

A quarter OF bar of good white

this Is added about half a cup of am

the pan or tub to cover the sweater.
The soap and ammonia are stirred
in, and then the sweater is placed in.
With a stick on the top of a wash
board this is stirred and turned until
the dirt is out Rinse in several wa
tiers, then lay on slanting board to
drain. but no not squeeze dry.
There are several methods of dry
ing. One is to fasten sheet fat
over several clothes lines and spread
the sweater on that in the sun.

FROZEN DISHES.

There is no dessert which ever takes
the place of ices and ice creams during
the hot weather; they are not only re-
freshing but nourishing, and are so
universally well liked that one cannot
go amiss to serve them on all occa-
sions.
The plain Philadelphia ice cream
may be used as foundation for any
number Of delightful combinations, for
example:
Nougat Ice Cream.--Add half cup
full each of chopped filberts, walnuts
and almonds with teaspoonful each
of almond and vanilla extract. One
can buy the plain cream all frozen In
many places so reasonably. and it can
be repacked with any additions Of fruit
or nuts. making the work very light.
The flavor of peach is given by put
ting two cups of strained peach pulp
and teaspoonful of lemon juice to
plain ice cream
A delicious flavor of almonds is Civ
en- TO ice cream in this manner. Blanch
and chop a cup of almonds, carmelize
four tablespoonful Of sugar and add
the almonds When cold grind TO n
powder. add to the cream with tea
spoonful of almond extract.
The most delicious of creams is
made by adding two cups of squeezed
and strained raspberries to the cream.
The color is enhanced by the addition
Of a teaspoon of lemon juice.
pretty and easy way TO make
fancy dessert is raspberry hombe:
Line a melon mold with raspberry ice
and ill with vanilla ice cream or with
pineapple ice or ice cream. Pack in
ice and salt and let stand feur hours.
Serve with whipped cream or sarnish
with fresh berries and leaves.

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble startei
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old Started like little
white pimples looked like an old scab
of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts Of his body it was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep restless all night.
THE sores were horrid n look at.
1t lasted until he was about two and
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use ----, but it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura ONT
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
