ECZEMA CAME ON SCALP

Lebanon. O.-"My eczema started
on my thigh with a small pimple. 1t
also came on my scalp. 1t began to
itch and 1 began to scratch. For
eighteen or twenty years l could not
tell what / passed through with that
awful itching. l would scratch until
the blood would soak through my I'M
derwear and 1 couldn't talk to my
friends on the street but I would be
digging and punching that spot, until
I was very much ashamed. The itch
ing was so intense | could not sleep
after once in bed and warm. Icertain-

The wrist bag which the bridge ex-
pert carries is becoming very splen-

ed with floss or closely encrasted with
tiny beads of crystal, pearl or metal.
Not infrequently it is of heavy lace,
lined with a silken material or with
a metallic gauze. One model is very

COAT SETS OF ULTRA DESIGN
Very Smart Are Those Of Crash
Which Have Suddenly Become
So Popular

Ultra smart are tbs. coat sets in
heavy crash. While rev of them are
entirely of creamy hue, the most eff
fective are in old rose, delft blue, pas
tel green or khaki, embroidered with
white or black linen floss. This needle
work, which is in a bold design and
done in close, solid stitch, runs from
the inner to the outer edge of both
collar and cuffs, where the hem
stitched border is very coarse and eff
fective. The collars are five pointed
and SO extremely broad that one Van
Dyke terminates at the center of the
back, two Van Dykes fall over the
top of the arm, and the remaining pair
extend almost half way to the waist
line The cuffs have three sharp Van
Dykes, a deep one running backward
to the elbow, and two shorter ones
pointing toward the inner side of the
arm. These coat sets are now worn
with plainly tailored serges Of dark
hue, but they will be equally smart
looking with the tailored frocks in
white, gray or tan.

Education of Japanese Women.

The majority of Japanese educa-
tionists hold very strongly that the
chief object of female education is
preparation for the duties of married
life, rather than general mental devel-
opment and culture. To educate won.
en- to be independent and self-support-
ing is not an ideal that most of the
teachers in girls schools ever set be-
fore them. The minds of the teachers
are permeated with traditional notions
respecting the sphere that woman is
designed to fill in the family. Hence
it is to be feared that the day in still
far distant when the Japanese woman
will be thoroughly emancipated and
have accorded to her the rights and
privileges which are enjoyed by the
weaker sex in the most advanced
western countries.-The Japanese

A WINNING START
A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes
Nerve Force for the Day.

Everything goes wrong if the break
fast lies in your stomach like mud
pie. What you eat does harm if you
can't digest tit turns to poison.
A bright lady teacher found this to
be true, even of an ordinary light
breakfast of eggs and toast. She
says:
1.-TWO years ago l contracted very
annoying form of indigestion. My stom-
sach was in such condition that a SIM
pie breakfast Of fruit, toast and egg
gave me great distress.
II was slow to believe that trouble
could come from such a simple diet,
but finally had to give it up, and found
a great change upon cup of hot
Postum and Grape-Nuts with cream,
for my morning meal. For more than
a year I have held to this course and
have not suffered except when injudi-
.ciously varying my diet.
"I have been a teacher for several
years and find that my easily digest
ed breakfast means saving of nerv-
Gus force for the entire day. My gain
of ten pounds in weight also causes
me to want to testify to the value of
Grape-Nuts.

table"

.L|NGERS IN MEMORY
One Mans UnforgetabIe Meeting
l'Jith Rather.
aDead" Snakeship Seemed a Worthy
Prize, But He Has Never Re-
GREETED the Caution of His
Travelling Companion.

The day was warm, very warm, and
the horses toiled up the sun baked,
dusty Blue Ridge mountain road. Up,
up we went by slow, degrees, every
fresh winding of the road disclosing
new and more beautiful panoramas of
valleys, farm strewn and river bisect-
ed, and distant hills, and yet farther
distant valleys and misty mountains
in the background cloud crowned and
sun besprinkled.
And so we slowly approached the
summit AS we rounded a bend in
the road we saw stretched out as
straight as a piece of string a dead
RATHER and annexed to its tail splen-
did string of rattles. The snake had
not long been dead, for his skin was
certainly in prime condition, and the
beauty of that diamond marked scaly
covering made into belt or cut up
into purses was apparent. But / was
more interested in the buttons that
give out the dread warning that sets
a man looking in 20 different direc-
lions at once.
1 wanted those rattles, and, full OF
impetuosity, / reached for my jack
knife and made to spring out upon
the ground; but my older companion,
realizing the delay that would surely
follow and approaching the snails
pace at which we were travelling, put
his veto upon any diversion or delay
The snake was very much dead, would
not run away, would be there when
we returned; the dead chestnut along
side the road would mark the spot,
and with a g'lang to the horses we
kept going and left the snake behind
But certainly those buttons were
fine ones, and would grace any ones
den, and as we were delayed at our
destination on the mountain top, re-
GREETED that l had not taken that rat
tier and, bringing it along. skinned it.
So in due time we returned, and at
last came to the dead chestnut tree,
and we looked for and did not find our
rattler. Some one, no doubt, had come
that way appreciative of fine snake
skin or needing rattlesnake oil for
rheumatism, and had carried his
snakeship away. His markings in the
dust were plainly seen, and as
jumped from the rig aud looked lit
tie more closely at the spot where
he lay so very dead could plainly see
where the snake, after enjoying his
sunbath, had crawled into the bushes
and gone down the mountain side.
1t has always been a matter of snake
painting with me when ! imagined my
jumping from the rig alongside that
very much alive snake, Of his coiling
and striking like fash. of the mad
rush to town for whisky, and the town
ten miles away. Well. am not
pleased over the painting. yet the pic
ture comes like a panorama before my
eyes every time see a diamond
backed rattler in zoo or even see a
picture of rattler in book. Un-
knowingly, this was case of allow
ing sleeping rattler to lie.

Hiqhest Mountain.

The United States is able to boast
of many of the greatest things in the
world, and among its other great
things are to be reckoned some very
lofty mountains. But Mount Mckinley
is not the highest mountain on earth.
That distinction belongs to Mount
Everest in the Himalayas. Younghus-
band long ago proved that Mount Ev-
crest has an altitude OF $4,000. This
king of the mountains was named aft
er Sir Edward Everest, who was SUI
perintendent of the trigonomeirical
survey of India at the time the height
or the mountain was determined.

piece of political deception.

was heard to say:

To Protect the Flowers,

Edelweiss and other characteristic
Swiss flowers are said to be in dan
ger of total extinction because of the
craze of tourists for collecting them
Women tourists especially are always
anxious to take away souvenirs in
the way of plant, and do not simply
pull the flowers, but dig up the plant
1t is proposed to introduce a law that
will prevent the buying, selling or dig
ging of edelweiss, fire lily, Siberian
spring crocus, Alpine columbine, the
Daphne, Alpine violet or other ma
rtional flowers.

Linaeria Gowns Popular.

AS the season advances and out
door functions become more general,
some delightful lingerie dresses will
be seen; for in the warmer weather
there is always great wave in favor
Of white. 1t will not be unrelieved
purity, however. for the note of color
will occur in sunshade, shoe and waist
belt, while in the silk or ninon frock
the lingerie collar and the flounce will
give 1t the simple touch and charm
which is so characteristic of the arts
tic creations of the moment.
Hats Of real panama with contrast
ing underbrims are the most appropri-
ate and delightful for wear with
dainty muslin frocks, and they are
quite smart enough for most functions.

Macbeth called it.

holds it.
