swinoIno JardInieres.

Our Oriental friends seem to have
solved the problem Of the summer
storm and the porch plants by using
swinging jardinieres made of split
bamboo and plated grasses. We all
know the havoc wrought among our
beloved ferns by the sudden violent
bursts Of wind which come on hot
summer days and come, seemingly.
out of clear sky, with scarcely a
moment in which to shelter the cher
ished potted plants. These jardinieres
of split bamboo hanging from the
porch roof by strands of plated grass
just sway gently back and forth and
by SO doing allow the plants to accom-
modate themselves more readily to
the gusts of wind, and SO little DAM
age results. Besides their usefulness,
the beauty OF these swinging jardi-
nieres will appeal to any woman who
has an eye for the artistic. They are
almost the last word for prettiness
for the porch fitted up with hanging
screens and furniture of bamboo.

Fine Remedy
For Eczema
Also for Salt Rheum, Tet-
ter, Psoriasis, Lupus,
and All Skin
Affections.

All skin troubles should be attacked
from within by giving the blood circula-
ton good daily bath. This is accom-
plished with S. S. s., the best known and
most highly recommended blood purifier
ever discovered. Its action is very rapid
Its vegetable nature is such that 1t nat
uraly goes right into the blood, saturates
the entire circulation, bathes the tissues
with an influence that enables the skin
TO heal quickly. The action of S. s. 8. Is
that of an antidote, and this fact has
been demonstrated time and time again
in the most severe forms Of weeping
eczema.
Its influence in the tissues where the
tiny arteries transfer the red blood for
the worn out blood to the veins is quite
remarkable and goes on constantly with
every tick of the clock-the beat OF the
heart
And new skin is thus caused to form
While the germs of irritating influences
mat cause eczema are scattered and their
harmful nature entirely suspended.
s. 5. s. has wonderful tonic influence
IN the blood because it contains no
dope is not physic, is entirely free Of
any mineral drugs or any other drugs
except the remarkable medicinal effect OF

STRANGE RECOVERY OF BOY
Letter OF Sympathy From Walter
johnson, Noted Pitcher, Works
Miracle With Washington Lad.

warren A. Slee, thirteen years Olus
lay sick for weeks, and, according to
. Washington dispatch, physicians
said they did not think he would re-
cover. Then the lad went into delir
ium and talked of Walter Johnson, the
speed king" among the pitchers OF
the American league. He had been
the boys idol, the man Of men before
whom this lad had stood secretly IN
awe, and when the mind was free the
idol Of his worship spoke to him.
When the team came back to Wash
ington from it's western trip, a mem
Der OF the boys family had intuitive
sense enough to seek out the pitcher
and tell him what the doctors said.
Naturally Mr.. Johnson wanted to go
to the boys bedside, but the physi-
clans said no, that the excitement
would be fatal.
So he wrote this letter, and it was
read to the> boy in an interval Of de-
nrium:
my Dear Warren-I take pleasure
In sending you herewith one Of the
baseballs used on our western trip,
and hope that you will soon have the
opportunity of using it with your
friends"
Pills, powders and surgery had
failed. but an idol worked another
miracle. AS il touched by the gods Of
old. there was an immediate change
for the better, and within a remark
ably short space Of time the boy left
the hospital and was able to use the
baseball. The primitive mind had
been allowed to work.
Many noted writer's have tried in
vain to describe the psychology Of
miracles such as these, remarks the
New York Sun. Kipling and his
'Brushwood Boy" Kenneth Grahame
and his Colder Age" have essayed
to explain the mind of boy, but it can
not be done. ALI that we know is,
as Thackeray says, that every boy at
a stage in his life has some idol. OF
course, the idols change, eventually
becoming feminine. Yet II our learn
ed uplifters would seek to learn the
name or nature of each boys idol,
and work through 1t, instruction in
moral hygiene and eugenics would be-
come obsolete. That way progress
lies. II an idol can save a life it can
do other things. for it represents the
boys ambition at its best and most
impressionable period
And what matter the form the idol
takes? It may be, as 1t often il. a
locomotive engineer. drum major, a
baseball pitcher; through the hero
worship OF these exalted beings the
boys salvation lies. Text books on
biology were never intended for the
primitive mind.

Bed Linen Economy.

It pays to turn sheets at the frs,
sign Of wear in the middle. 1t also
pays to make sheets at home and to
get rather lightweight muslin,
choosing exactly the same weight, for
pillow cases. The unworn parts of
sheets may then be made into pillow
cases. The making Of sheets and pill
low cases is trifling matter, and the
saving on a single sheet is at least
20 cents, to say nothing Of the fact
that the quality Of the muslin you
buy Is better than the average mate
rial used for ready-made bed linen. If
you have linen sheets and pillow cases
the saving is more marked. Aside
from the comfort of sheets three yards
long they were better as they are
not torn or strained In the constant
effort to pull them up.
