ERUPTION OVER CHILD'S BODY

Route No. 8, Box 81, Little Falls,
Minn.-"Our little boy was taken sick
with a fever and after the fever he
broke out with sore eruption all over
his body. We could get nothing to
help him. The sores were large and
red and bleeding. They started with
blisters as if he were burned and
when they broke they would bleed
and they itched SO that he could not
sleep for some time We had him all
tied up with bandages and then we
had to soak them off every day.
1--WE bought cake of Cuticura Soap
and box of Cuticura Ointment
which soon gave him relief. Now he

"Oh, well, l can't remember ex.
actly, you know. But until l spoke

SO I thought would give them little
humor. And I succeeded, too! had

there was a pleased giggle round the
huge table. In q few minutes | had
them all rolling about with laughter,
and when at last l sat down the ap.
plause was Observation-Disclosures!
At this point Henry removed his
oYercoat.
Il am glad your speech was such
a success, DEAR" answered his wife,
dutIfully. But next time you have to
speak in public would it not be better
to put a waistcoat under your dress
coat, especially when you wear a
dickey?"

Gold lace on embroidery can be
cleaned by brushing it clean Of dust
and then rubbing powdered alum well
into It. Leave this on for several
hours, and when you brush 1t off the
tarnish will be gone.
To make the windows bright and
shining, add a small quantity Of bluing
to the water when you are washing
them.
Sheets of tinfoil placed under doll
les upon which glasses, pitchers or
vases Of water are set will prevent the
dampness from soaking through and
staining polished tables.
Warm a lemon before squeezing 1t
and you will obtain nearly double the
quantity of Juice.
In washing delicate laces never use
starch, but If slight stiffening Is de-
sired two Jumps of sugar In basin OF

Perhaps one of the most unexpected
results of the war was the absolute
ending of suffragette militancy. For
years the British public had been ac-
customed to the depredations of the

One of the first things King George did
after England declared war, was to
pardon Internationally all the suffra-
gette prisoners who are in the various
jails for militant offenses. The mill
tants reciprocated Immediately by de-
claring a cessation of their violent
campaign for ballot. The suffragette
organizations volunteered to take
charge of the work of providing for the
needy women and children made de-
pendent by the war, and some of
them volunteered to act as nurses at
