ERUPTION LIKE PIMPLES

Wathena. Kan-"My child's scalp
trouble became so bad that | was
ashamed to have anyone see him. His
head had solid scab on it. He also
had terrible breaking out on his face
which was gradually growing worse.
The eruption was like pimples which
developed into sores when he scratch
ed. which he did almost constantly.
Baby would almost scratch himself
raw.
ct had used several different kinds
of salve, none Of them helping in the
least bit, when 1 saw the Cuticura adj
vertisement in the paper and it made
me think of the good results my sister
had when she used it for her children.
I had only used Cuticura Soap and
Ointment about two weeks before
noticed that the sores were almost en-
tirely gone, and it must have been a
month or six weeks he was troubled
before I began the treatment. He
would get easy when I would put the
Cuticura Ointment on him. Cuticura
Soap and Ointment completely cured
him and he has a clear complexion
now" (Signed) Mrs. w. H. Hughes,
Dec. 81, 1911.

throughout the world. Sample of each

West NO Place for consumptIves.

west NO FIdSe TUT OOHSuHiPttNCos
Physicians in all of the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis to stop send
ing consumptives in the last stages of
tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States in search of health.
While it is impossible to tell accu-
rately how many consumptives there
are at present living In the states OF
Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, south
ern California, and western Texas, 1t
is probable that no less than ten per
cent of the 100000 people In this
territory have tuberculosis themselves,
or have come to the west because
some members of their family have
had 1t. Every year, the health authorl-
ties estimate, not less than 10000
consumptives, hopelessly diseased,
come west to die. For these cases,
the climate of this section of the coun-
try can do nothing, and they are COM
PEELED to die in strange surroundings
and thousands of miles from home
and friends. The National Associa-
ton points out further that from 80
to 60 per cent. of these advanced
cases are too poor to provide the
proper .necessaries of life, and they
are either starved to death, or COM
PEELED to accept the meager charity
which this part of the country at
fords.

DRESDEN IDEAS COME BACK
Revival Is Natural Result of the
Fad That Calls for the Pan
nier Draperies.

With the revival of the panniel
draperies comes back a decided en-
phasis on dresden silks, with all the
exquisite colorings that we associate
with the Dresden shepherdesses. Pinks
and blue, yellows and pale green are
the backgrounds on which are
sprinkled fascinating bouquets, gar
lands and even baskets of flowers.
The dresden silks ana satins are
particularly adapted to suit the
coates that are Incorporated on after.
noon and evening frocks for summer.
They are not so striking in contrast
with plain, thin fabric and there is
great scope for color combinations and
flower effects.
The rose season, so noticeable in
fashions for the summer, is timely
one for Powered mulls, organizes, mus
Inns, voiles and chiffons with which the
dresden silks effectively combine.
Hats covered with dresden taffeta
are decidedly chic. Bridesmaids now
are favoring hats of this type to con-
tinue the idea of the dresden coatee
thrown over simple and disable 1r0ckS
of white or plain colors.
Little dresden silk slippers for the
rest hour add new touch to the
negligee set, especially If bindings or
trimmings of dresden silk be used on
the gown.
Dresden sashes, with an extra line
of the ribbon quilting trailing in and
out among the punches of flowers, are
accepted by womankind as an idea
that makes the assurance of beauty
doubly sure.
1t is undeniable that the dresden col
orings in designs that are varied and
inexpensive are factor in the general
beauty Of summer styles. Are you
using them?

MEANING OF FAT HALF MAST
At First Universal Symbol Was Token
of Submission and Respect
For Enemy.

Perhaps you have noticed that When
ever prominent person dies, espe-
cially if he is connected with the gov
eminent, the flags on public build
ings are hoisted only part of the way
up, remarks the Toronto Mail and Elk
press. This is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec-
ton there could be between nag
that was not properly noisted and the
death OF q great man?
Ever since flags were used in war 1t
has been the custom to have the flag
of the superior or conquering nation
above that of the inferior or vanqu1sh-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten it hauled its flag down
far enough for the flag Of the victors
to be placed above 1t on the same
pole. This was a token not only OF
submission, but of respect.
In those days when famous SOL
dier died flags were lowered out OF
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
tary usage to public life of all kinds,
the flag flying at half mast being a
sign that the dead man was worthy
of universal respect. The space left
above it is for the flag of the, great
,conqueror of all-the angel of death

WITH THE PARTISAN SANCTION
Position Hat Is Sure to Be Copied
Though No Longer in the
Greatest Vogue.

The fancy for the position hat has
been short-lived so far as Paris is con-
cerned, and London never greatly
cares for millinery which the Paris
ienne accepts as bien amusante. More
or less curly of brim, and with tall
stiff crown, these hats trimmed with
a feather en- fantastic or a floral
aigrette had brief furore, and GER
tainly when new they were most ap-
pealing. They could not, however,
bear repetition, and since people have
taken to wearing them they have lost
their attraction. For once the French
woman seems to have forgotten that
the fact of hat being chic when worn
by a woman of one type may make
1t impossible for those who belong to
another.
This style of hat is, however, being
made for autumn, and milliners are
looking savorably upon its possibilities
in beaver felt and plush.

RESIGNS AS STAGE DRIVER
Miss Of Stockbrdge, Mass, Makes
Remarkable Record in %
Years Service.

Stockbridge, Mass.-Miss Florence
S. Markham, who drives the stage and
carries the United States mail be-
tween the village OF lnterlaken and
Stockbridge for the government, has
made a remarkable record in her oc-
cupation, which she has followed since
1889.
In that time she has travelled near
ly 100000 miles.
In the winter Miss Markham has
been forced to shovel her way
through snowdrifts, and in the spring
she has repaired damage done to roads
by heavy rains, in order to make her
trip.

A FOOD CONVERT
Good Food the True Road to Health

The pernicious habit some persons
still have of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve stomach trouble keeps up
the patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army of dyspeptics.
Observation-Disclosures - is caused
by what Is put into the stomach in the
way of improper food, the kind that
so taxes the strength Of the digestive
organs they are actually crippled.
When this state is reached, to resort
to tonics is like whipping tired
horse with a big load. Every addi.
tional effort he makes under the lash
diminishes his power to move the
load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
off heavy, greasy, indigestible food
and take on Grape-Nuts-light, easily
digested, full Of strength for nerves
and brain, in every grain of it. There's
no waste of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts is the food.
Il am an enthusiastic user of Grape
Nuts and consider it an ideal food"
writes a Maine man:
l nad nervous dyspepsia and was
all run down and my food seemed to
do me but little good. From reading
an advertisement / tried Grape-Nuts
food, and, after a few weeks steady
use OF it, felt greatly improved.
"Am much stronger, not nervous
now, and can do more work without
feeling SO tired, and am better every
way.
81 relish Grape-Nuts best with cream
and use four heaping teaspoonfuls as
the cereal part Of a meal. / am sure
there are thousands OF persons with
stomach trouble who would be bene-
flied by using Grape-Nuts. Name CIV

Ruins on Island of Elephantine.
Achikar rebukes him for it he SIAN
ders the wise old man, denouncing
him to the king as a traitor Achikar
is so stunned with horror that he Is
unable to utter a word in his own de-
tense. whereupon the ruler gives or
ders to Nabusamach to put him to
death. But Nabusamach, who had
once been saved from death by Achi-
kar, kills slave in his place and
hides the old man in secret dun
geon.
"The Egyptian Pharaoh hears of the
vizier's downfall and promptly de-
clares war on the Babylonian unless
he shall ransom himself by the per-
Torrance of heavy task. The kings
councillors are at q loss for words Of
advice. In this dire need Nabusamach
confesses that Achikar still lives and
the king may avail himself of his
counsel The old vizier promptly res
cues the king, to the great annoyance
of the Pharaoh.
"The conclusion of the tale Is as
naive as it Is amusing In its oriental
viewpoint Madam is deposed and
brought in chains before Achikar, who
has him incarcerated and fed on bread
and water. Meanwhile he daily re-
gales him with intellectual sustenance
in the shape of stories and fables
which are packed with both worldly
wisdom and spiritual edification. This
Is especially interesting because 1t re-
calls the plan of the ancient Sanskrit
collection of instructive tales known
as the Hitopadesa.
The wretched Madam takes the
treatment very i'll. Overcome with
anger and chagrin--and possibly en-
nui-he "swells up and bursts!
This history was widely known in
the Orient and was piously COM
mented on by the writer of the Book
of Tobias as follows:
Behold, my son, how Nadab (Na-
dam dealt with Achikar, that he
brought him alive into dungeon un-
der the earth. But God recompensed
him for his sorrow. He came again
unto the light and Nadab went hence
into eternal darkness.

unfaiIinu stimuIant.

Men have tried many things, but
still they ask for stimulant-the slim
ulant in use but requires the use of
more. Men try to drown the floating
dead of their own souls in the wine
cup, but the corpses will rise. We see
their faces in the bubbles. The in
toxication of drink sets the world
whirling again, and the pulses playing
music, and the thoughts galloping, but
the fast clock runs down sooner, and
the unnatural stimulation only leaves
the house it fills with revelry-moTe
dead. There is only one stimulant
that never fails, and yet never intox-
icates--Duty. Duty puts blue sky
over every man-up in his heart may
be-into which the skylark, happiness,
always goes singing George d. Prem
tice.

Table Decoration.

An inexpensive table decoration
noted by Harpers Bazaar is as follows:
A crepe paper rose is hung from the
chandelier, ribbons coming to each
plate. The centerpiece Is large vase
of roses with roses around the base.
The bonbon dishes are tall glasses,
and the favors are roses painted on
cardboard. Baskets of roses are on
either side az the table.

Child,s Popularity EXPLAINED.

A winning lottery ticket of $780,
600, in connection with the Mobiles
Bank, was recently presented for
payment at the State Bank in ST.
Petersburg, and it now transpires
that the owner is an eight-year-old
orphan, and inmate of the orphanage
at Pskoff. The lottery ticket was her
sole possession. Her relatives have
hitherto done nething for the child,
but when the news o" her good for
tune became known they were one
and all eager to adopt her. The au-
thorities have placed her in the
charge of an arch-priest, a distant con-
nection of her father.

Sunbury, Pa.-Charles Scheetz,
lineman in the employ of the North
cumberland County Gas & Electric
company, was trimming a tree when
he fell across service wire through
which was coursing $500 volts of
electricity. A blue fame shot from
his body as he was hurled in the air
and dropped to the sidewalk. He
sustained fractures Of both arms and
q leg. AS he regained his senses, a
half hour after the accident. his first
question to a nurse was: How soon
am going to get some dinner? I'm

To Keen on pumps.

When pumps slip at the heels and
are too loose, paste a piece of velvet
in the back, with the nap side out.
If che shoes still spread, take them
to shoemaker and have him put in
casing for draw string, or a piece
of elastic which is tightly fastened.
Overshoes that slip at the heel and
are too big may be made more COM
Portable by glueing a thick piece Of
chamois up the back of the heel. Use
a glue that stands water.
