RINGWORM ON CHEEK

Somerville, N. J.-"My daughters
fingwofm was quite obstinate. First
a red spot appeared on her cheek and
another just behind the ear, running
into her scalp about the size of a
dime. They were hot and itching.
Scales formed and caused her to
scratch, which made it infamed and
sometimes drew the blood. 1 tried
-, then -, and -- salve,
but it kept growing. 1 had to cut the
hair from the ringworm that ran in
the scalp. 1t must have been of two
weeks standing as 1t had grown to a
good size, when 1 got my husband to
get me o sample of Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. l washed it with hot water
and Cuticura Soap, then applied the
Cuticura Ointment. The first appli.
cation benefited her. When my sam
pie was used 1 saw it was not so large
and angry, so 1 bought a box of Cuti-
cura Ointment, and a cake of Cuticura
Soap and applied them three times a
day. The constant use for four or five
days checked its growth and in two
weeks more she was entirely cured.
Cuticura Soap and Ointment also
cured my son in two weeks of a case
of ringworm." (Signed) Mrs. A. E.

WINTER WRAP DESIGNS
SIMPLICITY NOT A FEATURE OF
THE NEW STYLES.
Prominent Idea Is the Large Collars,
Meant to Be Rolled UP About the
Ears in Extreme Cold
Weather.

The new wraps, designed for the
coming winter, are long, loose, roomy
affairs, whether they are to be used
for general utility or for dressy wear.
With all their apparent simplicity,
they are carefully cut, and, in fact,
anything but simple.
Heavy clothes, for ordinary wear,
are used in the coats designed for com
fort. Collars are large and arranged
to roll up about the neck when need
ed. The two-faced fabrics will be
popular again, providing reversible
garments in some instances. A gray
coat, having a reverse side in anne
thyst color may be worn either side
out. Dark blue or black with re-
verse side in heather color is another
chic combination. For street wear
the sober colors are chosen; for the
auto ride, and for many other coca

SECRET OF LOOKING SMART
Neatness and Taste in Dressing VIII
Always Give the Girl a Good
Appearance.

There are many girls who, without
being at all good looking, always ap-
peal neat and smart.
They may only have a small dress
allowance, but with 1t are able to
appear more attractive than girls
who, with twice their amount of
money, often look o-verdressed or
dowdy.
What is the secret of this?
Surely 1t is due to the neat girls
taste; she always puts on her clothes
with care and makes a point of her
appearance being neat and tidy. She
keeps her wardrobe orderly and has
a place for everything; her ribbons,
gloves, handkerchiefs, etc., are never
bundled upon a drawer just to get
hem out of the way, but are careful
" put in their proper places.
On the other hand, a girl clad in
IN expensive dress will often spoil
Ter appearance by the careless way
IN which she puts on her clothes. los

WOMEN AS NATURAL ENEMIES
Writer Advances Some Good Reasons
Why This Unfortunate Condition
Must Exist.

THE average woman now begins
that study of society which will merge
ultimately with the marriage cam
paign. She makes many discoveries
which she admits frankly to herself.
She m to many conclusions" says
fnez Haynes Gilmore in Harper's Ba-
Car, (which sink %unnoticed into her
subconscious mind. If marriage, for
instance. is her natural career, then
men are her natural prey.
"But unfortunately there are never
enough men in her world to go round;
and of those from whom she may hope
TO choose some are much more destr-
able than others. Naturally she pre-
fers the desirable ones-i. e., the
'e%ligibles.' But-and here she runs
against her first obstacle-every 9th
er single woman in her circle has
come to the same conclusion. From
the instant she realizes this she
must declare wal on every other mem
Der of her sex.
Men must often wonder at that mi
9ute and merciless examination to
which, en- a first meeting, every
woman submits every other wom-
an. Men must often marvel at the
power of quick observation which
m always develop in these cir
cumstances. This is only the swift
Interrogation with which a warrior
surveys the arms of his opponent.
Women are forever discovering new
and complex weapons in the posses
sion of rivals. And, perhaps, the
most terrifying element in the situa-
ton is psychological-her sense of
~bafflement, in that she cannot judge of
women for men any more than they
can judge of men for her. Every 9th
er woman becomes her enemy. To
succeed in her world she must play a
zone hand and a cut-throat game"

CORN CRIB BANK INSECURE
Fire Transforms $50 500 Gold Pieces
Into a Mass of Yellow
Metal.

Chicago.-One hundred and fifty
bright and shining $40 gold pieces be-
longing to Thomas Ballard, owner of
a farm at South Western avenue and
West 135th street, we're quickly CON
verted into an irregular lump of metal
a few days ago.
Ballard had a mania for collecting
$40 gold pieces. He liked to have
them around so well that he got to-
gether $4,000 worth of them and stored
them in a corner of his corn crib. To
keep them from getting lonesome he
carelessly chucked in a matter of $500
in paper money.
A short time ago he took a load of
hay and started for Blue Island. The
morning was calm and bright and
Ballard dozed peacefully on the top Of
the load. He was startled from his
dreams by the sound of his name be-
Ing called. Looking around, he beheld
a man running frantically after him.
Your barn is on fire." screamed
The man.
Quickly wheeling his team, Ballard
pulled the hay rack around at right
angles and dumped the load by the
wayside and raced madly back to his
farm.
A pathetic sight met his eyes. The
barn had burned. Also a shed and
several smaller outbuildings. Fire had
lust attacked the norn crib.
Shouting excitedly for the men who
we're fighting the fire to direct their
efforts to the northeast corner of the
rib, Ballard told them that his money
a stored there.
1t was almost too late. The fire
spread with almost incredible rapid
ty and was soon licking at the corner
where lay the golden hoard. The
lanes were eventually quelled and
rs soon as the ruins were cool enough
he search of the ashes for the treas
Ire began.
Two or three crisped bills were
'ound; $4,000 in gold was a lumpy
mass; $4,000 retained some semblance
If $40 gold pieces.
Ballard ~mournfully surveyed what
a left of a once beautiful pile Of
coin.

WHY THE FIFTH MAN LEFT
He Wore a Wig and the Other Four
Men at the Table Were Bald
and laxative.

In the smoking of a west
bound ocean liner two days out from
an English port, five men sat at a
small game" of poker. When the
chips had been cashed in the men re-
tanned their places. and presently one
of the party said: This is funny;
four bald heads out of a possible
five," and then there was a discussion
as to the causes of badness, in which
all took part except the unaffected
man, who was a good listener for a
while. He then bade the others good
night. When he had gone the young
est of the group, who was less bald
than the others, said: do you know
why Mr.. Blank made the getaway?
He wears a wig, and is probably as
He wears a wig, and is probably as
bald as any of u.s." And for the rest

S%agacious PhrenoIogist Mistaken In

LITTLE NEW IN LINE OF FUR
ChinchiIla Squirrel the Only Novelty
Worth Mention, and 1t Promises
to Be Popular.

1t may seem a trife premature to
talk about furs; but, although the
weather is still quite summary, the
large shops already have begun to
display fur garments of every de-
scription, suitable for the chilly days
Of late fall and even for the regular
winter season.
So far as can be judged at this
time, there will be little new in the
fur line during the coming season.
OF novelty furs there is so far but
a single achievement which deserves
mention, the chinchilla squirrel. This
is a gray squirrel so treated and tip
ped that 1t has the s~oftness and much
of the silvery coloring of chinchilla.
1t seems safe to predict that it will
become quite popular.
The French designers of small
furs have sent over charming sets in
this fur, combined with gray silk or
velvet or used alone, and it is also
being used on coats and frocks,
though it is not cheap enough to be
used lavishly by the crowd or to be
readily commended.
