From Chaux lie Fonds we could only
crawl for the rest of the way into
Neuchatel, for the road is very steep
over the Col des Loges, and then
zones a long winding, and in parts
rapid, descent to B~ondevillers and
Valengin, with numerous sharp cor

From Neuchatel to Zurich is an
easy days run; but in Switzerland
n must always remember to allow
about double the time taken to cover
the same distance in any other coun-
try. The speed limits are absurdly
low in the towns and villages, and as
the country is thickly populated and
there are seldom more than a few
kilometres without houses, travelling
becomes a somewhat lengthy pro-

CHANGES IN THE COUTURE
BY No Means Advisable to Keep the
Same Arrangement for All
Occasions.

Do not cling to the same way of
dressing your hair regardless of the
changes wrought by time. The way
to fool your public is to change the
couture to meet changed conditions.
Visit a hairdresser who understands
lines and pay her to teach you a be-
coming method. The hair you have
left will thrive better if you wear it
one way in the morning and rest the
strain by another couture. for night.
Attractiveness is not the only thing
to be consulted-the coffure must be
suited to your age. A too youthful
way of wearing the hair is a pitiful
t%ravesty on youth and makes n look
far older. Hair that has thinned is
better disguised by a loose, simple
by striving to heavily bolster it. Hair
that is losing its lustre or CRAVING is
not improved by dyes, which quickly
ruin the quality and reduce the yuan
tity of what hair one has. Simplicity
is shown in the latest way of wearing
Il4C nail IL JOuI iOSho SION InICh-
ly and you want to be fashionable, do
away with all knots, twists and loops,
and make your head as smooth and
round as nature made it.
To achieve this effect brush the
hair smoothly back and turn under
the ends Sc the hair is an even thick
ness everywhere. Sometimes a front
or side parting is made and the hair
may be pushed into an oblique sort of
ridge from crown of head to nape of
neck. The only break in this smooth
ness is three short curls pinned to
hang on the neck.
For the woman of thin locks to at
tempt such simplicity would be folly,
and ever thick hair will not look it's
best unless it be made soft, fluffy and
lustrous with much brushing. If the
hair lies too fiat to be becoming it
may have to be brushed back over a
low roll of tulle to match.

SALT RHEUM ON ARMS

R. F. D. No. 80, Dawson, Pa.-"Some-
time ago my arms became rough and
sore. The disease was pronounced
salt rheum. My arms were inflamed,
being very red from rubbing them to
allay the terrible itching. What little
skin remained had a dead white ap-
pearance. I kept them wrapped in
linen bandages as l could endure no
clothing to touch them. Nothing
seemed to relieve the intolerable burn
ing. 1 tried several remedies without
success.
"After suffering much pain and loss
Of sleep for seven months l sent for
the advertised sample of Cuticura
Soap and Ointment which afforded me
such relief that I purchased three
cakes Of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. Before they were
used the disease had disappeared and

conspicuous part in the ornamentation
of the belt, and seems for the present
to have taken the place of the once

To wear with the cutaway coats that

belt, which is about five inches in
depth, is of brocaded satin of con

of sash. A square of embroidery often

NEURALGIA CAUSE OF CRIME
Suffering Father Murders His Blind
Son and Then Commits
Suicide.

London.-Neuralgia was the cause
Of a terrible domestic tragedy at Brom-
ley-by-Bow near this city.
A m~iddle-aged man named Harry
Agar of Fern road, Devons road, killed
his three-year-old son Cecil, who was
blind, with a razor and then committed
suicide.
The only motive that can be found
for the crime is that Agar was in great
pain, owing to neuralgia. He went to
a hospital and implored the authorities
to extract his teeth, but they came to
the conclusion that there would be
danger in removing them. Shortly
after his return home Agar went up
stairs to a bedroom, in which his
th~ree-year-old sol was lying.
Nothing apparently occurred to
arouse the suspicious of his wife, and
at dinner time she sent another child
to tell her husband hat the meal was
ready. The child came down hurried
ly, saying: Daddy is dead"
Neighbors were called in and on
going upstairs they found the man and
the blind child lying dead with their
threats cut. Near them was a blood.

DREADED TO EAT.
A Quaker Couples Experience.

How many persons dread to eat
their meals, although actually hungry
nearly all the time!
Nature never intended this should
be so, for we are given a thing called

ed at Santa Paula, Cal. Thousands of
rats, and all big wood rats, have in
vaded the place, and the situation is
such that women are afraid to go to
church. The rats seem to have a

The rats are believed to have been
