CHILD'S SKIN TROUBLE

16 Oliver ST., Newark, N. J.-"About
five years ago my little girl had a red
spot on the back Of the head which
itched her very much. The sores
came in the form Of a pimple full of
pus and would itch. She would scratch
until they would bleed, and wherever
1t touched there would be another sore
until her whole head was covered with
a hard scab. She could not sleep at
night for the pain, and I had to keep
her from school. I had her treated
and used a washS and when l put it on
her head it burned her so I thought
she would go wild with the pain. 1

until I got so tired 1 thought she
would never get cured.
Then I saw the advertisement for
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and sent
for a sample. The first night I used
Cuticura Ointment it loosened the
scab. Today she is completely cured.
I used three boxes of Cuticura Oint-

how the eyes of the Spaniards gilt
tered at sight of the yellow metal and
how they quarreled W. it.
At once Balboa fitted up an expedi-
ton to cross the mountains to the
land of gold. With him he took 200
men and a pack of savage dogs, which
should attack unfriendly Indians.
Balboa called the new ocean the
South sea-, because he was looking
toward the south when first he saw
1t. But he and his followers, though
they had discovered a new ocean,
which they had set out. He then re-
turned to Darien and sent word to
the Spanish king of the great discov-
cry which he had made. Then he
caused for small ships to be taken
apart and carried across the moun
tains, believing that somewhere on the
other side Of the new ocean lay the
Ell Dorado. These vessels were set up
again and launched, the first European
ships to dip keel in the great South
sea. But before Balboa had equipped
them fully and put out to sea his enc
mics, hurrying across the isthmus,
captured him, accusing him of plots
against the king. There was no. evil
dence Of any such plotting on Balobo's
part, but those were lawless times,
and the men of Darien were jealous
of Balboa. In less than "a hours he
was tried, found guilty, condemned to
death and beheaded.

LEARN TO SIT CORRECTLY
Importance of Proper Posture Is Not
Sufficiently Recognized, but
1t Is All-lmportant.

In the good old days a lady would
be more think of sitting with her ell
bows on the table and of crossing her
legs than she would of eating with her
knife. Now such actions are so COM
mon as to pass almost unnoticed.
If good form will not prevent such
habits vanity and regard for health
should. Natures laws are mor per-
emptory than those of society and
more swiftly punished.
The girl who leans habitually on her
elbows soon ruins them. The skin
roughens and reddens, eventually be-
comes callous and horny. Worse yet,
the pressure of the body on the elbow
stops the circulation and reddens the
skin of the entire arm.
More dangerous is the habit common
to men and women alike of sitting with
n leg swung over the knee of the
other. The pressure ONE at a sensi-
tive part of the leg and knee, a spot
where there are a number of large

Hotel Vanderbilt periodical stand, sold
the first book to young Frank NJ.
Bates of Attleboro, Mass, there bud
ded the romance which eliminated in
their marriage at Danielson, Conn.
The wooing, though Of short duration,
is said to have been complicated by
the attentions of a wealthy Buffalo
widower, who had met Miss Corrigan
while she was employed last year at
the Hotel Belmont.
When the news girl took up her
place behind the stand at the new ho-

the appearance of Mr.. Bates. Monday
evening the former newsgirl packed
her trousseau and quietly slipped

SIMPLE MODELS IN BLOUSES
Many Designs Are Popular, Though
the Sheer White Seems to Have
Points of Advantage.

For with heavy skirts any
sheer lingerie blouses are all right,
but simple yet very dainty made mod
els in fine cotton marquisette trim
med only in fine tucking and made
with hemstitched rundown collars and
sleeves ending a little below the ell
bow are meeting with much success.
Some of these little blouses have mar
row hens of colored marquisette, but
while the effect is charming, the all
white blouse presents fewer launder-
ing difficulties and will look well long
er than the one with touches of color.
Linen frocks Of a simple sort, but
trimmed with contrasting color or ma
terial instead of depending entirely
upon smart collars and cuffs and self
trimming, are numerous and good eff
fects are obtained with the quaint
Powered linens of Jony design in con-
nection with plain linen.
The Penn's Grove record., 1912-07-12

made always for a change of collars
and cuffs. Black and white challie,
with a limited amount of colored silk
for the trimming, would be very effec-
tive for a little frock made up in this
manner, the bows and belt of scarlet
OF of a very bright blue or soft green.
AS to the collars and cuffs, they can,
of course, be ,of the trimming material
and If n wants to smarter them on
occasions it Is perfectly possible to
top them with others of imitation Irish
lace. In this event it does not in the
least matter If the silk set is larger
than the lace-in fact an edge Of silk
beyond those of the collars and cuffs
would be an added smartness.
There are always mothers who do
not want to sew, preferring to dress
their young daughters from the ready
made shop supplies, and if these are
skillful buyers they know how to get
both the right and cheap thing. 1t is
always possible, too, to buy a skirt Or
jacket of suitable sort separately, so
those on economy bent often do this,
fitting a neat skirt with an odd blazer
that goes well with 1t or getting a
skirt for some lucky jacket find.
AS to the wool one-piece frocks, they
are not so often found ready made as
one would like, the weather being far
too suggestive of cooler raiment than
gowns, in the dressy sense, with au-
tumn suggestion. So If a vacation
frock Of this sort is needed there is
more chance Of getting the right thing
with home making.

HISTORY OF PANAMA
Spaniards In 18th Century Land,
ed at Site of Canal.
Tales of Rich Gold Deposits Were Re,
sponsible for Many Adventures
Leaving Home to Seek the FL
Dorado In the New World.

Colon, Panama.-It was lust for gold
that brought the Spaniards to America
In the fifteenth century. 1t was the
same lust that led them to make many
daring trips of exploration into the
interior. An expedition set out from
the island Of Haiti one day in the
year 1913. When the vessel was well
out to the sea, and the wooded shores
of the island had grown dim in the
distance, the adventures were amaz-
to hear mufied shouting from the
hod and a noise Of knocking. The
sound was coming from one Of a num-
Der of great casks, supposed to con-
tain dried beef, and when the noisy
cask was discovered and the end
knocked off, a well-built young man,
clad in the velvet garments gentlefolk
wore at that time, sprang out. Sew
eral of the adventures recognized
him as Vasco Nunezele Balboa, a
young man known to many of the col
onists of Haiti.
Balboa explained that he had chosen
this way of coming aboard because
his creditors were watching him so
closely that he knew they would
have permitted him to leave the
island openly, but would have caused
him to be seized and cast into debt
ors' prison.
The destination Of this party of ad-
venture was Darien, near the site Of
the Panama canal. No man knew
what lay across the isthmus, and in
deed most Spaniards believed at that
time that the West Indies were
Islands off the coast of Asia.
When the vessel which Balboa had
boarded SO unceremoniously reached
the mainland of Central America
members of the little Spanish colony
already there refused to allow the
captain of the vessel to come ashore,
for he had an evil reputation. The
other men, however, went ashore un-
der the leadership of Balboa and at
once began a trip of exploration. Bal
boa made an alliance with a powerful
Indian chief who ruled that portion
of the land, and married the chiefs
daughter. At the wedding feast the
Indians brought rich gifts Of slaves
and gold, and were amazed to see

Handkerchiefs-

Last year the initials on handker-
chiefs were long and narrow. This
year the initials should be shorter and
very broad. The influence of the orr
ent on fashions is thus to be felt even
in handkerchiefs. Indeed, one maker
of handkerchiefs has designed an mi
tfal cleverly decorated so as to suggest
Chinese characters. The effect is quaint
and unusual. If n persists in using
the long narrow initials, however, it
may be done in the last note of fash
ion by surrounding the latter with
fowery designs that fill out the embroi-
derry to a square.
All sorts of dainty color combina-
lions are in good form in handker-
chiefs this season. Colored initials
are to be seen on white grounds, Dor
ders and initials of corresponding col
ors, colored borders and woven core
effects in infinite variety.

Many a woman who suffers from
headache or numbness will find it re-

produces varicose veins, a red nose,

1t will be easier to conquer this bad
habit'if a woman makes a practice of
sitting erect on chair or sofa with the
end of her spine pressed close against
the back of her chair. This will throw
her feet in a natural position on the
ground and the temptation to loaf or
sit cross-legged is minimized.

GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
No Medicine So Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.

Lying awake nights makes 1t hard
to keep awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimulants'
under such circumstances is like set
ting the house on fire to see If you
can put it out.
The right kind Of food promotes re-
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from her old way of
eating Grape-Nuts, and says:
For about three years l had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medicine,
the doctor would ask me to drop off
potatoes, then meat, and SO on, but in
a few days that craving, gnawing feel
ing would start up, and I would vomit
everything l ate and drank.
when 1 started on Grape-Nuts, vom-
iting stopped, and the bloated feeling
which was so distressing disappeared
entirely.
my mother was very much bothered
with diarrhoea before commencing the
Grape-Nuts, because her stomach was
so weak she could not digest her food.
Since using Grape-Nuts food she is
we'll, and says she don't think she
could do without it.
ut is a great brain restorer and
nerve builder, for l can sleep as sound
and undisturbed after a supper OF
Grape-Nuts as in the old days when ]
could not realize what they meant by
a bad stomac. There is no medi
cine SO beneficial to nerves and brain
as a good nights sleep, such as you
can enjoy after eating Grape-Nuts.'
