PlMPLES WERE DTSFIGURING

2S7 Watkins St, Brooklyn, N. Y
when I was sixteen years of g l
noticed blackheads coming out on my
face, then pimples, all kinds. l was so
ashamed of myself that 1 did not go
out of the house. In fact 1 did not
want to show myself to my friends.
Only the face was broken out and
some parts of the hips. The pimples
were red, large and disfguring. Some
came to a head and some came in big
bumps, some were as large as a quar-
ter and they were scattered all over
my face in blotches. In a nights time
my face was so full of them that l
could not sleep on account of the itch.
There was no cure. Medicines,
%salves, pills, nothing helped, until 1
saw about the Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment in the paper. l used them Just
as directions told me, and to my as
constituent, I found a great change,
and after a week or so, I was cured.
My complexion is rosy and smooth in
stead Of oily, rough and pimply as it
used to be-" (Signed) Albert Gold

"LIkE MAGIC"
New Food Makes Wonderful Changes.

When a man has suffered from dys-
pepsia SO many years that he can't re-
member when he had a natural appe-
tite, and then hits on a way out Of
trouble he may be excused sor saying
1T acts like magic"
When it is a simple. wholesome
food instead of any one of a large num-
Der Of SO calat3 remedies in the form
of drugs, he is more than ever likely
to feel as though a sort Of miracle has
been performed.
A Chicago man, in the delight of re-
stored digestion, puts it in this way:
Like magic, fttingly describes the
manner in which Grape-Nuts relieved
me of poor digestion, coated tongue
and loss Of appetite, of many years
standing.
Il tried about every medicine that
was recommended to me, without re-
lief. Then l tried Grape-Nuts on the
suggestion of a friend. By the time
l had finished the fourth package, my
stomach was all right, and for the past
two months l have been eating with
a relish anything set before me. That
is something I had been unable to do
previously for years.
Il am stronger than ever and l con-
slider the effects Of Grape-Nuts on a
weak stomach as something really
wonderful. 1t builds up the entire
body as well as the brain and nerves."

For n morsel of meat Esau sold
his birthright." The cravings of hun

For a carnal satisfaction he forfeited
the noble privilege of sonship. But
we are all in fellowship with Esau. We
have all preferred the seer to the un

some fleeing happiness to the joy of

noble ease to the peace which pass

the world for it's mess of ~pottage,"

The Main Question.

u. Pierpont Morgan" said a clergy
man, hated the ~dissension that some.
times springs up between high church
and low. Apropos of all such reli-
gious ~dissension, he used to tell a
story about a wise old colored man,
Calhoun Clay.
"'Cal,' a gentleman once inquired,
what denomination do you belong to?
l thing l see you sometimes making
for the chapel, but don't you think
you'd do better to come to us?'

SHAMPOO WELL WORTH WHILE
May Be Prepared at Home, but Is
Good as the Most Expert Profess
sional Could Produce.

To make this shampoo boil a handful
of bran and a half ounce of finely
shaved CASTLE soap in a quart of water.
Rub the well-beaten yolks Of three
fresh eggs into the scalp, massage
gently, and allow it to remain a few
minutes while the pores drink up the
n~ourishment. Next use the shampoo
liquid freely, rubbing it into the scalp
and hair. Rinse thoroughly with warm
water until every trace of egg and
shampoo has disappeared, then dry
with warm towels.
After this treatment the hair will
glisten like satin when brushed with
an absolutely clean brush. If the hair
is combed free from knots land the
shampoo expert does not get it tan
gled during the washing) before it is
quite dry and then arranged in waves
between fillets of ribbon and allowed
TO dry thus, it will have a regular wave
that will stay in for several days.

quarter of an inch in diameter, must
be made through it. Then the two
ends of the ribbon are slipped through
the hole and tied in a square bow at
the base Of the potato, and the pen
wiper is complete. A good way of
passing the ribbon through the hole
Is to roll a piece Of paper tightly
round it in the manner shown in di-
agram A. Diagram B illustrates the
potato after the ribbon has been Slip
ped through, when the paper round it
can, of course, be pulled away and
the two ends tied together. The
paper serves a double purpose, as it
will also prevent the ribbon from be-
coming soiled during it's passage
through the potato.
The pens are cleaned by pressing
the points of the nibs into the pota-
to; and it will be found quite easy to
do this, and the potato will clean the
pens better than any wiper made Of
wool or cloth.

IDEA FOR VEGETABLE PARTY
Something Novel in the Way of En-.
tertainment That VIII Be Appre-
ciated by All.

Invitations for a vegetable part,
were sent on the backs of old seed
packets, and each girl was told to
wear something representing a vege-
table. The young men later found
their partners for supper by guessing
the vegetable represented. The house
was brilliantly decorated with strings
of peppers, onion tops, etc., and it was
amusing if not beautiful. The center
piece was a huge cabbage followed
out and filled with a mass of green
onions and red geraniums. A wreath
Of round red radishes twined around
this.
Little contest books, ornamented
with painted vegetables having faces.
were given the guests, and prizes were
given for correct answers to the ques
tions within. The answer to each was
the name of a vegetable.

%TENDERFEET WIN
WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP
HILL AND SONS, THE DAT CHAM.
PIONS, ARE CoCKNEYs BORN
AND BRED.

City-bred in the worlds greatest
metropolis and unframed as to things
agricultural, were ]. c. Hill and his
three boys when they settled on home
steads at Lloydminster, in the Prov.
ince of Saskatchewan (western Can.
ada), eight years ago. Today they
are the recognized champion oat grow
ers of the North American continent,
having won twice in succession the
silver challenge cup, valued at $1,000
at the Fifth National Corn exposition
Columbia, S. c. The, Plate, officially
known Is the Colorado Dat trophy, is
emblematic Of the grand champion
ship prize for the best busheI of oats
exhibited by individual farmers or ex-
pertinent farms at these expositions.
The Hill entry won this year in the
face Of the keenest competition, hun
dreds of exhibits being sen by expe-
rienced farmers from all parts of the
United States and Canada. The oats
were grown OIL land which was wild
prairie less thar four years ago.
When Mr. Hill and his three sons
who probably lever saw a wider acre
age than the hills Of Hampstead
Heath, or the parks Of London, came
to Saskatchewan eight years ago, they
had little more capital than was re-
. quired for homestead entry fees. They
filed on four homesteads, in the Lloyd
minister district, which straddles the
boundary Of Alberta and Saskatche-
wan. They went to work with a will,
ripping the rich brown sod with break
ing plows and put in a crop, which
yielded fair returns.
They labored early and late and de-
MED themselves paltry pleasures, glad
to stand the gait for a while in rising
to their possibilities. They talked with
successful farmers and studied crops
and conditions and profted by both.
The new life OIL the farm was strange
but they never lost heart, handicapped
as they were by lack Of experience
and capital.
The farm house, modern in every
respect, compares f%avorably with any
residence in the city. The Hills have
substantial bank accounts and their
credit is g~ilt-edge from Edmonton to
Winnipeg and beyond.
There is nothing secret about our
methods nor is our plan copyrighted.
We first made a thorough study of
climatic conditions, soil and seed"
said Mr.. Hill. 1--WE tended our crops
carefully and gradually added live
stock, realizing from the beginning
that mixed farming would pay larger
and more certain returns than straight
grain growing. We have demonstrated
that fact to our satisfaction and the
result is that many of the farmers in
the district r following our exam

WITH FLOWING SLEEVE
NEW FEATURE MARKS THE PRE-
VAILING EVENING GOWN.
Quaint and Graceful Fashion Is an In.
novation That Will Be Welcomed
Illustration Shows Design Just
Now Most Popular.

The sketch today shows an attrac-
tive black and white evening gown
Incorporating several new features.
The flowing scarf sleeves Of chiffon
will probably attract the attention
first. These have been introduced
with success on some of the latest i'm
ported gowns, and are quaint and
graceful, falling softly away from the
arm and extending almost to the
knees. Another feature is the draped
arrangement Of the skirt, n hat is
effective and not so difficult to
achieve as the more complicated ar
r~angements. The material must be
cut too long in front to allow of a
deep tuck being taken in it midway of
the length. This is caught on the
wrong side to some thin foundation
skirt so that the upper part pouches
a little just across the front over the
lower part, which falls in natural
draped folds around the feet.
In this model the skirt is of black
charmeuse, cut with a round train and
with edge joined down the center
front, parting at the bottom to dis
close the feet. There is a surpliced
corsage of white chiffon with very
short sleeves cut in one with the side
sections. The flowing sleeve drapery
is caught to the sleeve end all
around, but with the edges left open
at the inside seam.
The tunic of guipure lace is in the
form of a sort Of sleeveless bolero,
with a cutaway effect below the waist,
and a point running high up over the

Breathing Through the Ears.

the way to avoid tuberculosis and
lung disease is by breathing through
the ears" says DR.. John E. Davis, of
Virginia university. Man breathed
through his ears before he learned to
use his nose. In early days when man
was a fish he had gills and inhaled
and exhaled through them. Part Of
these breathing organs still remain,
and If cultivated a be put to good
use."
He says that if a child is taught to
breathe through his ears after proper
practice he will be able to open or
shut his ears just as a fish works his
gills.
We wonder what our scientists and
medical men will have to say to this.

Dressy Little Bows for the Neck.

This is a season of bows, and there
are a great variety of designs. Small
bows OF color, showing a combination
Of silk and lace, or velvet and lace,
are especially attractive. Many are
trimmed with rhinestone buttons.
Quite a number are made with ends
in 1abot form, the bow at the top be-
ing 1ather small. Bulgarian silks are
made up into bow and jabot effects.
Other materials employed are crepe
de chimes, plain taffetas. and lowered
silks. Besides the entire bow of Bull
gar1an design, touches of Bulgarian
colors are also used in giving an en-
l~ivening color to many of the white
designs.

Lace Underskirts.

There are ever so many dresses for
young girls with straight or slightly
draped tunics opening over under
skirts composed of three or four ruff
hes Of soft lace. These ruffies are
sometimes made of fine net edged with
a thread in some bright color which
is repeated in the sash, or used as a
narrow velvet piping for the neck and
sleeves. This edging of a couple of
strands of colored silk or thread forms
a very pretty finish for net rufhing.
