HEAD A MASS OF PIMPLES

Hyattsville, Md-"My little boy was
taken with an itching on the scalp.
There was an ashy place on his head
about the size of ten-cent piece, and
the hair was falling from this place
by the roots. In about ten days all
over his head were these ashy spots
which looked like ringworm, but were
porous-like. The itching and burning
made him scratch a great deal His
head had gotten so that II was just
mass Of mattery little pimples all
heaped on each other, and when took
off his night-cap, the hair and flesh
came off at the same time. l really
thought he would lose his whole scalp.
He couldn't sleep for FIVE weeks, II
would itch and burn until thought
he would go into commissions.
II used different soaps and salves
to no satisfaction. Then l decided to
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment.

HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS
Proper Fitting of Corset Means APP
propriste Care of Both Those I'M
portant Items.

Various doctors and artists have
been once again discussing the vexed
question as 10 whether women should
wear corsets, and they have once
again come to the inevitable conclu-
sion that II they wear the right cor
sers they are considerably improved
by them. II ever the wasp waist as
serts itself again among US it will be
something to grumble at, but the cor
set of today is really beneficial rather
than harmful, il 1t is properly made
and properly worn. 1t may be that
we ought not to require the support
of corsets, but life in these days is
artificial, and surely 1t is better to
have good figure by means of a good
corset than to have a bad figure with
out it.
Just the same, a good MANY women
are not sufficiently careful about their
corset, and then they wonder why
their gowns never look we'll. Better
a cheap, ready made blouse robe on a
good corset than an elaborate frock
over shapeless one. 1t will not only
be better from the point of view of
health and carriage, but it will even
give an air to the gown. French wom-

dressing well, not on their taste in
gowns, but by their attention to the
corset.

KIM0N0S IN ALL DESIGNS
Dainty Negligee Garment May Be Had
in Practically Any Form That Can
Be Required.

Despite the pronounced vogue of
Chinese modes in formal garb, the jap
anese kimono remains the intimate
friend of the woman who has a col
lection of dainty lounging robes. For
those cold mornings when the wind
bowls outside and the furnace is in
sulky mood, there are comforting
robes of quilted Japanese silk, dainti-
ly hand-worked with light and dark
floss. For milder weather there are
adorable kimonos of lowered satin
with borders of satin or Japanese silk.
and some of these have the shirrings
at the elevated waist line which
slightly suggest blending of the En-
pire with the Oriental style. Still
more fascinating are the cotton and
silk crepes in white, sprinkled over
with pink cherry blossoms and in
blue or rose printed with graceful
sprays of white wistaria. To wear the
kimono there should be a clinging
loose slip of satin in solid tone
matching either the grounding or the
figuring of the robe. Many women,
however, prefer to wear the ordinary
princess garment of Seco silk trimmed
with lace ruffles or the one in white
lingerie carrying muslin embroidery
Van Dyck point insertions. and edg
ings of Valenciennes lace.

The Tree Surgeon.

A new profession has recently come
into being. We refer to the profes-
sion of operating on sick trees in or
der to save their life and beauty. This
is much more serious problem than
1t seems to be, offhand, and the vari-
Gus state and federal authorities are
spending a great deal Of time and
money devising ways of preventing
and curing tree ills.
Private citizens and public officials
have long been awake to these prob
lens in the eastern states, but wide
spread interest In the west is of more
recent manifestation. This is largely
due to the fact that practically all Of
the diseases and pests which infest
our ornamental shade trees have first
shown themselves upon the eastern
coast. Nearly all have been imported
from foreign countries on nursery
stock, etc.
At the present time large areas in
the east are practically denuded of
trees through the devastations of the
! Gypsy and Brown Tailed moths, San
Jose, Elm Tree and Oyster Shell scale,
chestnut bark diseases, and other Sc
rious pests. These pests are moving
steadily westward and every inch of
their advance must be stubbornly con-
tested if the trees are to be saved.
One Of the best and easiest ways
to help our trees combat these and
other ills, lis to prune them properly
so as to conserve their strength, and
at the same time get the best posi-
BILE artistic results.
Most of the readers Of this column
have to consider trees which are all
ready planted. rather than newly
planted ones. Generally speaking,
then, your trees should be pruned at
least once in two years and prefer
ably every year.
The tools to be used are thin blad-
ed pruning saw and pair of pruning
shears Cut off all suckers or water
sprouts, close to the branch.
Remove dead wood wherever found,

street frocks are simple, even II they
are expensive, but afternoon clothes
are not only expensive-they are elab-

The frock Illustrated is one of the

The dress Is simple enough in outline,
but the yoke is of real baby Irish lace,

Some of the frocks for very little

waist lines, but many of them have the
belt fastened well below the knees.
Ribbon belts are almost exclusively

BOILED EGGS BETRAY THEM
Nationality Of Dinsrs Is Shown In
Their Various Methods of
Eating.

Sherlock Holmes might have figured
this out, but he did not!
The average Englishman will al
ways demand his egg boiled just
three minutes, then he places 1t In an
egg cup, just large enough to have
the egg fit it, taps the top of the
shell, and removes the broken shell
with his fingers. The egg is eaten a
spoonful at time.
A Frenchman, much like the Eng
lishman. likes his eggs of three min
utes, exactly He then "peels' them,
places them in glass, stirs and
mixes well together with salt, pepper
and butter He makes a practice OF
dipping bread into the mixture. and
eating it along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think Of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks it, and lets the con-
tents run into glass; and consumes
it as IL he we're drinking glass OF
wine.
An egg Is only at in an Italians
estimation when 1t has been placed
in cold water, and removed just as
the water begins to boil. He then
breaks it, pours it on plate, and
proceeds to sop it with bread.
The German, like the Italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
he
liquid out as If 1t were soup.
The American is about the only one
who prefers his eggs boiled hard.
When they are served up to him, he
knifes them in half. removes the con-
tents into glass, after which he
adds a plentiful supply of pepper, but
.er and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them we'll with the
spices, and eats them with his toast.

What is the best breed of chickens?
Easiest question in the world. Ask
your friends and every one of them
can answer right off hand, but each
one will name a different breed or va
riety and when you ask their reasons
for their choice, mighty few of said
reasons would hold in court.
The fact of the matter is that there is
no one best breed" of chickens. There
are four or five best Breeds" with
from two to seven best varieties" in
each breed. If you don't believe it,
glance through the files of any poultry
Journal and see the number Of best
breeds" mentioned In their free read
ing notices.
One man proves that the White Or
pingtons are the best breed" because
he got Nine Padeewsh to admit she
paid $4,000 for five of his chickens.
Another man clinches the pennant for
the White Plymouth Rocks by saying
that pen Of 80 hens earned $500
for him last year. their eggs selling
for $50 setting And SO it goes. Ask
| ing a poultry man to name the best
| kind OF chickens is like asking an au-
tomobile man to name the best auto
mobile.
! AS far as the city or suburban poul.
| try keeper is concerned, he can make
his choice of chickens entirely upon
sentimental grounds.
Remember that the breed deter.
mines the size and shape of the fowl,
and the variety determines the color
choose the shape and color that you
think is prettiest and you viii nave
the best breed for you.
Now, however, comes the really i'm
portant problem Of the individual
strain of blood within the variety. The
difference between profit Sand loss,
eggs and no eggs lies in the individual
and not in the breed or variety. There
is no marked difference in the produc-
ton, growth and hardness OF FIVE or
six OF the principal breeds, and there
| is the same similarity between their
established varieties, but there is q
tremendous difference between differ
emit focks or individuals Of the same
variety. A poultry man who under
stands his business can take an or
binary flock of any standard variety
and he can beat any similar flock Of
the same or any other variety, which
is handled by an inexperienced OF
careless person.
Inheritance of profitable qualities II
Of the greatest Importance. For this
reason scrub or cross-bred fowls arr
worthless for breeding, because theil
offspring cannot possibly improve II
size or productivity for any length o
time and practically never hold theil
own. Never use anything but pure
bred chickens. Get a setting of egg
or pair of young birds from thu
heaviest laying hen you can find II
the variety you elect to keep, ant
build up your flock from the start. w

more than breed.

Spots on China.

The beauty of old china is often de-
stroyed by brown spots which appear
on the surface.
An effective way to remove these
is to bury the dish in the earth, COW
ering it completely.
The darker spots require more time
to remove them than the lighter ones.
