Of work to start to build house that

One point In making a cellar bottom
that every one should know, relates
to the manner Of leveling the ground.
A cellar bottom usually Is not put In

the right kinds Of sand and stone are
abundant: in other places. they must
be brought from distance. In ce-

problems is the cost OF teaming the
heavy materials necessary to make
the blocks; but there are locations
where the block machine can be set
down on the lot where the house is to
be built, and the gravel or sand from

SMALL TOUCHES THAT COUNT

After the spring cleaning is ovei

beautifying touches which always give

Good taste at present leans toward
wall paper with little or no pattern.
Striped papers. however, are not
frowned upon by the artistic. Plain
papers produce much more effective

1T is CRIMINAL TO NEGLECT
THE SKIN AND HAIR

Think Of the suffering entailed by
neglected skin troubles-mental be.
cause Of disaguration, physical be-
cause Of pain. Think Of the pleasure
of a clear skin, soft, white hands, and
good hair. These blessings, so essen
dal to happiness and even success in
life, are often only q matter Of little
thoughtful care in the selection Of
effective remedial agents. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment do so much for
poor complexions. red, rough hands,
and dry, thin and falling hair, and cost
so little. that 1t is almost criminal not
to use them. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold everywhere, a
postal to "Cuticura," Dept. L, Bos-
ton, will secure a liberal sample Of
each, with 32-page booklet on skin
and scalp treatment.
