ECZEMA DISFIGURED FACE

Hampton Springs, Flat had had &C.
zema on my face and hands for about
three years. My face was badly dis
figured. The eczema broke out in
pimples and itched so very badly
would scratch it all the time. 1t was
the most irritating disease l ever had.
1t started on my face and hands and
it spread all over my body. L had
great large sores all over me, caused
from the eczema. 1t bothered me day
and night SO that l could not rest
at all.
Il used three remedies for skin dis
ease and they didn't give relief at all
l was almost terrified until a friend
recommended Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment to me. They helped me from
the time started to use them. l only
used two cakes of Cuticura Soap and
two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and
was cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. C. Park

asked. anxiously.
Yes, uncle

"AIl the trains are on time. Some

WASTE IN VEGETABLES
GOOD QUALITIES LOST DURING
PROCESS OF BOILING.
Considerable Food Value Retained
When Steaming is Substituted for
the Present General Method Of
Preparation for Table.

If we stop 10 think about it, as many
Of us do, it will be seen that our usual
methods of preparing vegetables are
somewhat Nasteful. The vegetables
are those foods which give us more
salts and mineral extracts, iron. ETC.,
than possibly any other kind OF 1000.
These extracts are dissolved in wa
ter and, consequently, when we COOK
our vegetables in a large quantity or
water, and then throw 1t away. we
lose much, if not most, of these valu-
able food materials.
A recent investigation along this
line has brought out these interesting
facts that great deal of the most
valuable part of the potato is lost by
pairing, or laying the pared potatoes
in water for some time; spinach, cab
bage and carrots were boiled and
steamed and the various differences
noted.
Spinach lost about 80 per cent. of
mineral matter by boiling. only per
cent. when steamed.
Cabbage lost AZ per cent when
boiled, only II per cent. by steaming
Carrots lost only per cent. when
cut up, but IL per cent. when boiled
whole.
Potatoes showed a gain of IS per
cent. when boiled in their jackets, as
compared to peeling and then boil
ing.
Besides these losses Of nutrients
there was found to be decided loss
in the waste made by peeling both the
carrots and potatoes.
Since then it has been found that
our boiling methods are very waste
full. | know they are fueltaking and
timetaking when we scrape every root
vegetable as we do, declares writer
in the Chicago Inter Ocean. II steam.
ing has been found to be the better
way, we should try and steam as much
as possible. Several improved
steamers are on the market which per-
nit several foods to be cooked over
one burner. If we know that steam
ing is more economical of the foods.
and of the fuel also, why do we not
steam more and boil less?

Caused Her Little Inconvenience.

A New York letter tells of west
ern girl unused to the insidious cock
tail, who was dining in a Broadway
lobster palace. The dinner apparently
was given in her honor. She gulped
down her cocktail manfully but with a
wry face. During the dinner her
hostess noticed that her cheeks were
flushed, that her eyes sparkled and
her face beamed. The hostess felt a
little concerned about her, but why, it
was hard to say, as she was not in
the chicken class. Perhaps it was be-
cause of the loudness of her laugh and
conversation. Anyway, the hostess
leaned across the table to whisper to
her, why, Kate, do you feel that
cocktail?" ooh. yes" was the west
