ITCHING AND BURNING,

scalp eczema for about FIVE years and
tried everything heard Of, but all OF
no avail. The doctors told me would
have to have my head shaved. Being
a woman, I hated the idea OF that. /
was told by friend that the Cuticura
Remedies would do me good. This
spring l purchased two boxes OF Cuti-
cura Ointment and one cake Of CutL
cura Soap. After using one box Of
Cuticura Ointment I considered the
cure permanent, but continued to use

"The disease began on the back Of
my head, taking the form Of a ring.
worm, only more severe, rising to q
thick, rough scale that would come on
when soaked with oil or warm water,
bringing a few hairs each time, but in
a few days would form again, larger
each time, and spreading until the en-
tire back Of the head was covered with
the scale. This was accompanied by
q terrible itching and burning sensa-
ton. Now my head is completely we'll

BOILED EGGS BErRAY THEM
Nationality Of Diners 10 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 It In an
egg cup. just large enough to have
the egg 1T 1t, 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 we'll together with salt, pepper
and butter. He makes q practice OF
dipping bread into the mixture. and
eating II along with the eggs.
A Spaniard wouldn't think Of letting
his egg boil more than one minute.
He then breaks It, and let's the con-
tents run into q glass. and consumes
1t as II he were drinking a 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 il. pours 1t on a plate. and
proceeds to sop 1t with bread.
The German, like the Italian, de-
mands his eggs as near the liquid
state as possible. He breaks his eggs
in an unsightly cup, and scoops the
liquid out as II It 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 a glass, after which he
adds a plentiful supply Of pepper. but
ter and salt. He then minces the
eggs fine, mixing them well with the
spices, and eats them with his toast.

London and Its Lumber.

London is the most conservative city
in Europe, II not in the world. It loves
its lumber. You may still see those
notices attached to lamp posts which
announces Standing for Four Hack
ney Carriages, or whatever the num-
ber may be, though for ten years Tin
one case, to my own knowledge for
twenty-fve) no vehicles OF any kind
have stood there. Perhaps 1t is as well
that these relics should remain; they
are q tiny part OF our social history.
They will probably remain when we
are flying to dinner or the theater in
omni-aeros. By that time people won't
know what hackney carriage" meant,
and there will be discussions in the
Notes and Queries" Of the period.
For each generation hands down to the
next certain nuts to crack.

United Nurseries of Philadelphia

Women Members of Board Of Man

Regulations for Benefit Of
Babies Reported.

delphia.-Through the efforts
of the Philadelphia Association OF

ding of the milk supply Of the city
has been brought about and condi-
tions which chiefly affect the babies

The association, made up Of woman
representatives Of the board Of man
ayers Of twenty-five day nurseries. has
procured the enforcement Of an ordi-
nance prohibiting the sale Of dipped
mike except in shops where eggs.
butter and bread are sold.
Following the baby-saving show OF
last spring. and still keeping in mind
lessons of the milk show of the prev
ious year. members of the association,
determined to safeguard as far as
they could the lives of the babies. en-

which undertook the investigation ap-
piled to leading physicians who have
had the work Of baby-saving under
their direction and procured the serv-
ices Of an investigator who has had
experience in public health work.
Visits were made to several hun
dred shops in the neighborhoodS OF
the day nurseries. The shops were
viewed from every angle that would
make them places where It would be
prejudicial to the child health to have
its milk supply stored. The source OF
supply. the condition Of refrigerating
facilities, occupancy Of the house and
the methods employed In handling
were gone into and a card index was
made OF all places visited.
The research showed many fragrant
violations Of the milk regulations Of
the department o. health. All sorts OF
menacing conditions were discovered.
One Of the chief causes Of complaint
was found to be the cigar and candy
shops in which milk was sold in bulk.
In many of these no attempt WAS
made to keep the milk at an even
temperature. or to ward on the flies
which infested the places. The milk
was carelessly handled and dipped out
with any sort Of dipper and in any
sort Of q way.
Reports Of these conditions were IN

The object Of the association is to

nurseries and to study their home en-
vironment and the conditions which
AFFECT their health.
