"WAY SHOULD l USE
CUIIcURA SOAP? 2

"Therc is nothing the matter with
my skin, and | thoueht Cuticura Soap
was only for skin troubles" True, it
is for skin troubles, but its great mis-.
sion is to prevent skin troubles. For
more than a generation it's delicate
emollient and propAylactic properties
have rendered it the standard for this
purpose while its extreme purity and
refreshing fragrance give TO it all the
advantages of the best of toilet soaps.
1t is also invaluable in keeping the
hands soft and white, the hair live
and glossy, and the scalp free from
dandrutf and irritation.
While its first cost is a few cents
more than that OF ordinary toilet
soaps, it is prepared with such care
and of such materials that ii wears
to a wafer, often outiasting several
cakes of other soap, and making its
use, in practice, most economical
Cuticura Soap is sold by druggists and
dealers everywhere, but the truth Of
these claims may be demonstrated
without cost by sending to "Cutcura,"
Dept l., Boston, for q liberal sam
pie cake, together with a ,thirty-two
page book on The skin and hair.

MADE 4 THING ~ 1HF PAST
Physical culturS In Schools Has Done
Away With thO old-tlme
Shoulder 4raoes.

Some things Of common necessity
have been passing away without mo-
tIce of their leave taking. Not infrO-
quently, a few years ago. at the break
fast table, the mother Of the family,
addressing the putatiye head Of the
household, would say: John, I'm
really disturbed about Jane Shes
growing right up rye had TO take
two tucks out Of her dress" "Humphl
suppose girls must grow" yes,
John, but that's not what mean to
call attention to. She stoops Awfully.
In spite Of everything say she won't
stand up straight. And there's Billy,
too. He bends over like an old
woman. Those children need should
or braces. The sooner they have them
the better. 1t mustn't be put OF an
other day"
In that yesterday every drug Rtore
had a supply Of shoulder braces.
They were advertised In the newspao
pers In liberal space and there was an
active demand for them. Very little
Is heard about shoulder braces today,
and. boys and girls seem to be grow
ing up straight enough without such
appliances.
The reason for the passing Of the
shoulder brace for children will be
recognized as soon as mentioned.
The lack Of demand Is almost wholly
due to the fact that more attention is
now paid to physical training In our
public schools than was the case a
few years ago. The girls are greatly
improved thereby. They walk better
and carry themselves better. AS for
the boys, they are encouraged to en-
gage In athletic exercises which tend
to better them physically and carry
out the old Roman saying of "a sound
mind In sound body"
For the advance that has been made
praise is due to the gymnastlc train
ing advocated by large German ele-
ment here for years before 1t was
given q tardy recognition. When the
girls get little older they will slip
into corsets, probably, but even then,
no matter how tight fitting. they have
been so built up physically that they
will not be transformed into hour
glass patterns quite as readily as II
their bodies had not been given pro-
per care when young, AS for the boys,

That is the prediction for the coming

will be very glad indeed While shoes
and slippers may be an extravaganza
they may be hard to keep clean and
expensive to procure. but there Is no
gainsaying the fact, that they are

For practical and general wear there
are white canvas shoes and slippers,

Also Of snowy white and also easily

More expensive and very fashion

and shoes. And these, too, may be

SPLENDID EFFECT OF RIBBON
Deft Touches That Transform Com
monpIace Blouse Into a Thing
Of Beauty.

A very commonplace blouse of dark
blue chiffon, worn above cream lace
shirt, can be transformed into a thing
Of beauty by broad sash Of cerlse rib
bon placed straight across the bust on
the lace, above, while a narrow sash
ribbon In mauve enclrcles the waist.
Try the prescription, and then supply
the dark blue chiffon bodice with a
skirt to match 1t in dark blue satin or
cloth. These two ribbons, shining
through the chiffon, have most ele.
CANT effect, further enhanced by the
cutting down of the lace shirt to the
collarband, and the addition of small
rundown collar Of lace, and the band
ing round the throat of narrow black
velvet held with a little amethyst
jewel.
Very becoming indeed are these mar.
row bands Of black velvet, and If they
are tight enough and high enough they
somehow seem to add length to the
throat and bestow a beneficial influ-
ence upon the most ordinary garment,

pod. Of oIaln.

process has recently been invent
ed In France to produce glass flower
pots at very low cost. The pots are
like ordinary flower pots, both in size
and shape. They are said to be more
substantial and have proved to resist
the pressure Of Ice or frozen earth
better. Being handsome in appear.
anoe, they are fine for potted sale
coverings that soon get soiled. When
sunk into the earth they remain clean,
as neither dirt nor moss adheres. The
inside walls being smooth, plants can
easily be slipped out, and they are,
therefore, excellent for potting plants
with many roots. The thickness Of
the glass. with the consequent lack OF
poroslty, is also said to be an advan-
tage, for the air remains sweet longer
In a glass pot than In an ordinary pot.
and there is less danger Of drying out.
While the initial cost of glass pots Is
somewhat higher, they are really
cheaper In the end, because more
