ECZEMA ON CHILD'S FACE

r. F. D. No. ), Lexington, Tenn
"My little boy broke out on the face
with that terrible disease, eczema.
when he was just one month old, and
l just thought sure it would kill him,
as it killed our other baby at five
months old. 1t would break out in
pimples and scab over. and he cried
day and night. l thought that there
was no cure for him at all His face
would itch and burn so bad that l had
to tie his little hands down so he could
not scratch his face.
I've began at once to have him
treated until he was seven months old
and he got worse all the time sent
and got a box of Cuticura Ointment
and one cake of Cuticura Soap. l had
not used them week until l could
see a great change, and they cured
him sound and well and never left a
single scar" (Signed) Mrs. Lille

The word Colonial" as referring
to house construction and also to fur
niture design, is frequently used with
out a definite idea of its meaning in
this connection. Properly speaking, a
Colonial house, or Colonial furniture,
dates back to a time before the Dec
laratiOn of Independence, when this
country was a dependency Of Great
Britain and classed as a colony or col
onies. Some good houses were built
al that time by emigrants from Eng
land and other countries. and the best
ideas Of building then known were
incorporated in these houses. There
is abundant evidence of the influence
eXerted on the minds OF builders in
those days by the free eIpanse of new
territory. Some Of these old-time
builders came from the narrow streets
of old London and other large cities,
where narrow fronts and a dingy out
look were the rule even in the case
Of the better and more expensive
dwellings
A broad front and square rooms,
with a wide hall in the center, was
the elegant plan adopted by the more
generous-hearted entertainers Of CO.
Iontal days They could afford to be
prodigal in the expenditure Of space
because they had left congestion be-
hind them, and the influence of their
new environment had suggested
broadened lines in regard to house
room as well as affairs OF state.
Many ideas have since resulted in
the modification of this cOmmendable
style of house building; but down to
the present time we have many ad-
mirers of the old-fashioned square
house with parior on one side and

the clatter of the big brass knocker,
because even strangers We're welcome,

Some of these old Colonial houses

customary in building our largest

sitting room in proportion to the size
of he house. We have done away
with the old-fashioned drawing-room
and substituted a parlor and sitting
room combined that offers a great deal
more comfort because it tends to in
crease sociability and sociability is
the keynote of entertaining.
We still have the wide hall with a
fireplace in the far end; but we
haven't the cordwood to burn; so we
have reduced the size of the fireplace
to fit the fuel that we are obliged to
use. Then, instead Of building the

old houses had a broad hall. often ten
or twelve feet wide, in the center Of
the house. This great hall sometimes
was furnished with a big brick or
stone fireplace in the far end, where
cordwood sticks were burned and the
warmth from the fire was diffused
through the open stairway to the
rooms above.
