mented me all the time and when 1

SO that had to keep my face wet in
cold water. 1t began as pimples and
indeed it was disfguring, for it would
get in spots on my face and hands as
large as quarter of dollar. 1t would
get into blisters sometimes and I sure
did suffer Ny face burned all the
time. It was this way so bad for
about six years and I tried everything
that 1 could hear of, but nothing did
any good.
Zone day found the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment advertised and ordered
some at once. l would wash my face
good with the Cuticura Soap and then
apply the Cuticura Ointment and they
have cured me. 1t would take half

DESIRABLE TEA TABLE
HOW CLEVER GIRL EVOLVED
PRETTY ADORNMENT.
Small Initial Cost and the Expenditure
OF Comparatively Small Time
Brought Its Regard in Some
thing Worth Having.

A novel and most economical way
covered by a girl who is very clever
with her wits and her fingers. She
first purchased for 40 cents a large
oval picture frame from secondhand
store, securing a very good bit OF
natural old woodwork.
Then with a bottle of stain, some
sandpaper and little varnish she
polished up the wood to look like new,
then screwed on two brass handles,
one at each end, afterward cutting a
piece of pretty cretonne the same
size as the glass, and pasting 1t
smoothly where the picture would
ordinarily go.
Covering it with the boards that be-
long to the frame, tackled securely into
place, the entire back then being COW
cred with a piece of felt, she found
herself possessed of a most fetching
tea tray, which in the shops would
cost from SIS to So.
If afternoon tea sets continue to get
more attractive, the services which
were considered lovely few years
ago will be relegated to the neither
most corners of china closets.
All in palest green porcelain Is
very dainty set comprising a teapot,
sugar basin, cream pitcher and half
dozen cups and saucers. 1t sets upon
a square tray of green willow. Quite
as dainty and only a trifie more costly,
are tete-a-tete tea sets of white china
banded with dark blue or red, edged
with a gold vine and standing on an
oblong matching tray.
Among the four-piece service are
sets of another porcelain so thin that
the beverage seems to color it. These
sets stand upon trays of amber crystal
having projecting handles of gilded
metal, set with genuine amber.
Exceedingly pretty tea sets are OF
silver, teapot of silver, sugar bowl,
cream pitcher and cups and saucers

OmeIet With Strawberries.

Here is delicious luncheon omelet,
sweet entire or even dessert, and not
as extravagant as it would have been
a month ago. When you find nice
box of ripe strawberries on the mar
ket stand fine in flavor and reasonably
cheap, invest and buy also half doz-
en- of the freshest eggs. Pick over
your berries, saving out about half Of
the finest solid ones. Cut these in
half, put into bowl and add two large
tablespoonfuls of sugar, mixing with
little grated orange peel and dash
of lemon Juice or grapefruit. Set in
refrigerator while you wash the re-
mainder of the berries through fine
sieve, and sweeten well. Make an
omelet of the six eggs, and when
ready to fold over, fill with the sliced
berries drained from all juice. Turn
the omelet out on the dish, dust gen.
erously with powdered sugar and
serve at once. A dash of rum may
be added to the berries If desired.
A little grated nutmeg is liked by
some

kitchenettes,

Whenever several saucepans are on
the fire at once, place a large, clean,
white marble in those containing
milk, porridge, custard, stews, or any
thing requiring constant stirring. The
marble will roll about with the boil
ing, and SO automatically keep the
liquid constantly stirring. There will
then be no chance of burning, and the
fatigue of constant stirring and bend
ing over a stove will be avoided.
Never throw away pieces of lemon
after they have been squeezed with
the lemon-squeezer, for they come in
handy for removing stains from the
hands and elsewhere. Dipped into
salt they will scour copper kettles
nicely and remove stains from brass
work. Lemon like this will take
stains, dirt and odor from pans and
kettles as nothing else will. The
odors of fish and onions can thus be
easily removed.

How Tuberculosis Is Spread.

Based on figures obtained from
cases of tuberculosis reported in
Cleveland, New York and other cities
where thorough registration of con-
sumptives is employed, it Is esti-
mated that for every death from con-
sumption in the United States, OF
which there are on an average 2OO,-
900 annually, there are constantly
more than five living cases, making
at least 100000 in all. Of these mil
lion living cases, it is estimated that
the health authorities have records o.
not more than 100000 to 10000, or
one in every eight or ten, and that,
for the great majority of cases re-
corded, no hospital, home or dis
pensary care is provided. Practically
nothing can be done to control the
spread of tuberculosis in the unre-
ported cases.
