ECZEMA DIsFIGURED BABY

"Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but a few weeks
old. His little face was covered with
sores even to back OF his ears. The
poor little fellow suffered very much.
The sores began as pimples, his little
face was disfgured very much. We
hardly knew what he looked like. The
face looked like raw meat. We tied
little bags of cloth over his hands to
prevent him from scratching. He was
very restless at night, his little face
itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where We resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read of the Cuticura Remedies, and
at once bought Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the
result, and after four weeks, the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is a pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.
Albrecht, Box $50, West Point, Neb-,
Oct. 26, 1910. Although Cuticura Soap
and Ointment are sold by druggists
and dealers everywhere, a sample Of
each, with 32-page book, will be mailed

PLAIN LINES MOST POPULAR
This Seasons Linen Suits Are Made
With None or Very Little
Trimming.

While the coarser linens are used,
those made of the finer twisted thread
are liked quite as well. Very little
trimming is needed. The lace collar
and cuffs or the lingerie friIl at neck
and wrists suffice, though, of course,
buttons and buttonholes, lace and en-
broidery may figure as trimmings.
Oddly Of cut is, however, the only
something different 1t is surely diff
ferent enough to have the back of the
coat and skirt cut across on the bias
or otherwise manipulated. Yet, such
manipulations offer no difficulties to
the laundress. These suits may be
made coat and skirt fashion or in the
coat and dress effect. Both styles
have their good points, many consid-
ering the former the most economical,
since a fresh blouse may be donned
as often as the wearer pIeases. And
sleeves and necks do have a way Of
becoming soiled before it is necessary
to send the entire dress to the laun-
dry
Many dresses are being made, too,
in linen and kindred weaves. The Sc
ginning to disappear. While the puffs
seen on taffetas are not available there
are pipings, inlayings and bands in
contrasting fabrics.
Fancy linens and linens with open
work borders are effectively utilized.
though one who is at all clever at de-
signing will be able to achieve very
fine suits with the plain sorts. It's
the design, cut and finish that counts,
also the accessories. One girl, for ex-
ample, is to look smart in her white
linens this summer; the only color
she is to add is sapphire or coral, as
the spirit may move her. Whether she
chooses the blue or the odd pink
shade she will wear 1t in the shape of
silk stockings, ribbon watch fob and
necktie, and no other color wifi ap-
pear except she chooses to carry a
parasol in the color she is wearing.
