HAD AWFUL WEEPING ECZEMA
Face and Neck Were Raw—Terrible
Itching, Inflammation and Sorenea«
•—All Treatments Failed.
Cuticura Proved a Great Success.
"Eczema began over the top of my
ear. It cracked and then began to
spread. I had three different doctors
and tried several things, but they did
me no good. At last one side of my
face and my neck were raw. The
water ran out of it so that I had to
wear medicated cotton, and it was so
inflamed and sore that I had to put
a piece of cloth over my pillow to keep
the water from It, and it would stain
the cloth a sort of yeliow. The ec
eemaitehed so that it seemed as though
I could tear my face all to pieces.
Then I began to use the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, and it was not mo re
than three months before it was ail
healed up. Miss Ann Pearsons, North
field, Vt„ Dec. 19, 1907."

All in Fight Against Tuberculosis.
Prevention of tuberculosis versus
dividends is the proposition which
some of our largest insurance com
panies are now trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently ap
plied for permission to erect a sana
torium for its policy holders and em
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of illegality by New York State Super
intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company is, however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis
tributing 3,500,000 pamphlets among
its policy holders. The Provident
Savings Li£e Assurance society has
also established a health bureau,
where its policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
Knights of Pythias, Royal League,
Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Cir
cle, have already established or are
contemplating the erection of sana
toria for their tuberculous members.
Marriage and Meanness.
Some years ago there lived in Atch
ison a young woman noted for her
good works and gentleness. She was
always helping the poor and was pa
tient and kind and universally ad
mired. She married a fairly good man
and abused him within three months.
She had been good a.id patient for
years, but a husbana was too much
for her; she had never been cross to
any one until she was cross to her
husband. There is something about
marriage that stirs up hidden depths
of meanness on both sides. —Atchison
(Kan.) Globe.
Weds Her Rich Stepfather.
Social circles in Pasadena, Cal.,
learned with amazement the other day
that Miss Katherine Traphagen has
become the bride of her stepfather,
Cyrus M. Davis of Los Angeles. Miss
Traphagen lived with her sisters in
Altadena and was one of the promi
nent members of the Young Women's
Christian association, being director
of its short story club.

IT WORKS
Tho Laborer Eat 3 Food That Would
Wreck an Office Man.
Men who are actively engaged at
hard work can sometimes eat food
that would wreck a man who is more
closely confined.
This is illustrated in the following
story;
"I was for 12 years clerk in a store
working actively and drank coffee all
the time without much trouble until
after J ei? tered the telegraph service.
"There I got very little exercise and
drinking strong coffee, my nerves
were unsteady and my stomach got
weak and I was soon a very sick man.
I quit meat and tobacco and in fact I
stopped eating everything which I
thought might affect me except coffee,
but still my condition grew worse, and
I was all but a wreck.
"I finally quit coffee and com
menced to use Postum a few years
ago, and I am speaking the truth
when I say, my condition commenced
to improve immediately and today I
im well and can eat anything I want
ithout any bad effects, all due to
ifting from coffee to Postum.
"I told my wife today I believed I
could digest a brick if 1 had a cup of
postum togo with it.
"We make it according to directions
boiling it full 20 minutes and use good
rich cream and it is certainly deli
cious."

Ideas for Charity Bazar.
No matter what the season the great
jrganization known as "Society" works
[or charity. In fact, not to be identi
fied with something o£ humanitarian
Import immediately stamps a person
as being deeidiy out of it.
"Charity" is a magnet that draws
"buds," "belles" and matrons together
with but one interest. Young women
in touring cars stop you 011 the street
asking for books and magazines for a
library, while all sorts of entertain
ments engross the evenings.
All this leads up to a novel enter
tainment being planned for "shut-ins"
of all ages. It is to be an afternoon
affair on the lawn, the huge porches
being utilized as workshops.
There are a number of committees
with competent chairmen. There is
one on "amusement for children," one
for "elderly people," one on"food deli
cacies." As near as I can judge, it is
to bo a most fascinating affair.
Maids from Japan will serve tea,
quaint Holland lassies are to dispense
cocoa, both iced and boti dainty
"American beauties" garbed in white,
with hair adornment of "Beauty" rose,
will receive the jellies, jams, etc., and
the children's committee, all in cos
tume from Mother Goose, will receive
for the poor "shut-in" boys and girls.
One group of young girls has pre
pared quantities of surprise nuts,
made by inserting some tiny object
like a new penny, a bonbon, wee doll,
tiny thimble, roll of bright baby rib
bon, or a raisin between English wal
nut shells; the meats extracted were
turned over to the "home-made candy"
committee. The nurses will find these
nuts invaluable as rewards of merit.
For elderly "shut-ins," there are to
be boxes of "comfort" powders, sug
gestive mottoes, pencils, pads of pa
pers, sewing outfits, good short
stories, etc.
Scrap book fans are capital idea,
too, made by pasting bright sayings,
jokes, little poems, anecdotes, etc., on
both sides of a fan. It is light to hold,
and serves a double purpose, giving
comfort by its breeze and amusement
by reading the specially collected say
ings.
There is also a committee to collect
jars, bowls and vases, as nurses say
the problem of finding receptacles for
flowers is often a perplexing one. An
up-to-date committee is the one col
lecting puzzles, and why wouldn't the
crippled "shut-ins" love these capti
vating pastimes just as much as the
sturdy youngsters I saw yesterday
deeply absorbed in putting "dog" puz
zles together.
1 wish 1 had gotten all these ideas
sooner. They are all of practical use
and there is always a perfect epidemic
of bazars just before Christmas—so
prepare now.
A Delightful Shower.
"Polly" had at last succumbed to
Cupid's wiles and the spinster club to
which she belonged resolved to do the
proper thing in the way of a shower.

CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1909-
The invitations were on green card
board, lettered in yellow. They were
so pretty that it was some time before
the recipient realized they were sup
posed to represent jealousy.
Each guest took a dainty tea cup and
saucer, the hostess providing the pot.
All were asked to bring their thimbles.
The work provided by the hostess was
a variety of tea towels. Then the
hostess requested the bride-elect to
make a cup of tea as a farewell to the
other spinsters. The maid brought in
a tray with the cups and saucers, each
cup bearing a black cat shaped card
on which the donor's name, and a sen
timent were inscribed in white ink. I
forgot to say, these cat cards were in
closed with the invitations, and the
cups were all sent to the hostess the
day before the shower. Every one
said it was a most unique way of giv
ing a shower.
An Old-Fashioned Party.
"That Reminds Me" on an invitation
added a spice of novelty to the after
noon. Each guest told a story reminis
cent or otherwise, and as they were
all old friends a most delightful time
was enjoyed. This is a capital idea
for a grandmothers' party. Use all
the old-fashioned things obtainable,
have a nosegay of pansies (for
thoughts) at each place and serve this
deliciously old-fashioned supper.
Cold ham and chicken, creamed po
tatoes, tiny baking powder biscuit, to
mato pickles, brandied peaches, baked
cup custard, rolled jelly cake, tea with
cream and sugar. Have an old-fasl>
ioned bouquet of garden flowers, but
ter plates, a castor in center of the
table and pour the tea at the table.
Pass buttermilk in the afternoon,
icy cold in thin tumblers or—better
still—goblets.

Morning robes and teagowns are
appearing without sleeves, except as
they are made of contrasting material.
Girdles will emphasize many gowns.
The underarm seams are high and
give smartness to the close-fitting

Foulards are made in such attrac

be used effectively in detached pieces.

A few years ago the little girl was
dressed with numerous ruffles and so
full were the skirts that a child
dressed with all of the numerous
ruffles looked for all the world like a
fancy ruffled pen wiper. The dresses
to-day are much straighter and th«
ruffles are not so full.
PAINT DURABILITY.
The first thought in painting should,
of course, be durability—and dura
bility means simply pure paint prop
erly applied. Pure paint la pure
white lead and linseed oil (with or
without tinting material).
Some years ago the paint-buyer was
likely to get adulterated or counter
feit white lead if he was not familiar
with brands. To-day he may buy
with perfect safety if he only makea
sure that the Dutch Boy Painter
trademark 1b on the packages of
white lead that he buys. This trade
mark wa3 adopted by National Lead
Company to distinguish the pure
white lead made by them from the
worthless adulterated and fake goods.

house-owner as the education of •

A Candid Judge.
A Dover lawyer tells a story In
which figures Hon. H. L. Dawes, who,
It seems, in his younger days was an
Indifferent speaker. Shortly after his
admission to the bar he had a case
Which was tried before a North Adams
Justice of the peace, and Dawes was
opposed by a lawyer whose eloquence
attracted a large crowd. The justice
was perspiring in the crowded room
and evidently fast losing his temper.
Finally he drew off his coat and, in the
midst of the eloquent address, burst
out:
"Mr. Attorney, supposing that you
take a seat and let Mr. Dawes speak.
I want to thin out this crowd."—Lip
pincott's.
Early to Bed.
The man who makes It the habit
of his life togo to bed at nine o'clock
usually gets rich and Is always reli
able. Of course going to bed does
not make him rich —I merely mean
that such a man will in all probabil
ity be up early In the morning and
do a big day's work, so his weary
bones put him to bed early. Rogues
do their work at night Honest men
work by day. It's all a matter of
habit and good habits in America
make any man rich. Wealth is a re
sult of habit. —John Jacob Astor.
