NURSE TELLS OF SKIN CURES
"I have seen the Cuticura Remedies
used with best results during the past
twenty years. In my work as a nurse,
many skin disease cases came under
my observation, and in every instance,
I always recommended the Cuticura
Remedies as they always gave entire
satisfaction. One case in particular
was that of a lady friend of mine who,
"when a child, was affiicted with ec
zema which covered her face and
hands entirely, breaking out at inter
vals with severer torture. She could
not goto school as the disfigurement
looked terrible. I told her to get at
once a set of the Cuticura Remedies.
After the use of only one set she was
perfectly -well.
"A grown lady friend was afflicted
■with salt rheum in one of her thumbs,
and she was cured by the Cuticura
Remedies. Still another lady had dry
salt rheum in both palms of her hands
every fall of the year. They used to
be so painful she could scarcely wet
her hands until she began to use the
Cuticura Remedies which cured her.
I have also seen them cure children
of ringworm. The children's faces
would be all circles and rings around
the cheeks, and the neck, and after
treatment with Cuticura Soap and
Ointment, they were completely cured.
My husband had rheumatism on his
arm and I used the Cuticura Ointment.
It made his arm as limber and nice,
whereas it was quite stiff before I
began to apply the Ointment.
"Last May I had an ingrowing toe
nail which was very painful, as the
side of the nail was edging right down
In the side of my toe. I cut the nail
out of the cavity it made, and of
course applied the Cuticura Ointment
to the part affected. It soothed it and
in less than ten nights it was all
healed through constant use of the
Ointment. Ten days ago, I had my
left hand and wrist burned with boil
ing lard, and Cuticura Ointment has
completely cured them. I have just
recommended the Cuticura Remedies
to another friend, and she is recover
ing nicely. I will gladly furnish the
names of the people referred to above
if anybody doubts what I say."

ISIS
LAP robe making is a new Industry
for the amateur needlewoman
whose hangs heavily on her
hands and it is one which may be
kept up the year round, since the lap
robe of summer differs in weight from
the lap robe of autumn, and the one
for winter is of still heavier degree.
Each and every robe is intended to
serve the double purpose of protecting
the knees during a drive or when trav
eling on a steamer and the entire
figure during a siesta, for it should
be remembered that no matter how
warm may be the weather or the room
the sleeper's feet should always be
protected by a coverlid of some sort..
Linen finished crash in green, brown,
rose, blue or natural color in plain
effects or in two tone broad stripes is
used for summer lap robes, and as this
material is exceedingly wide two yards
of it is quite sufficient in case there
is to be an appliqued border of the
darker shade of the color selected,
joined beneath a gimp of dyed coarse
lace or a border of black crash sten
ciled in shades repeating those of the
striped fabric.
More elaborate lap robes are of lin
en surfaced crash in natural tone or
a plain color hemmed broadly and
headed with drawn work. This would
seem like a tiresome task, but, as a
matter of fact, the threads are so
coarse that the hand work goes very
rapidly and is wonderfully effective
Linen scrim is another good material
for a summer lap robe, for, while light
of weight, the dust does not sift
through its meshes, and if the corners
of the robe are shot weighted they
will not blow away from about the
feet. The blocked designs in two
tones bordered or hem appliqued with
white are effective, and if time is not a
consideration to the needlewoman a
two by three yard piece of ivory toned
scrim may be ornamented with a dark
red, blue or brown soutache braid
outlined pattern and bordered with taf
feta of a matching shade.
Solid colors in taffeta make charm
ing lap robes if they are properly fin
ished at the edges, otherwise they
will strongly resemble the silk quilts
made from the remaining breadths of
grandmother's tea party dress. The
correct way to make a silk lap robe is
to get the widest taffeta obtainable so
that there need be but one seam, and
that in the center, which is of the
overlapped sort and tailor stitched on
to a lining of shepherd checked or
elan plaited serge. Having spread the
silk smoothly over the worsted lining
and stitched the center seam onto it,
the edges of the two materials must
Three Good Ideas
FRENCH Drawers and a Pretty
Camisole. —These drawers are
very cool and comfortable for
summer wear when made in lawn,
they are trimmed with wide frills
edged with lace and headed by inser
tion. The uper part of the camisole
is in all-over embroidfery, cut in one;
It is outlined with beading threaded
with ribbon; the lower part is of lawn.
The neck and sleeves are finished with
lace. Materials required for the draw
ers: 2 yards 36 inches wide, 1% yard
Insertion, 2\£ yards lace. For the
camisole, % yard 28 Inches wide, 2%,
yards beading, 3 yards ribbon.
Alpaca Dress.—For useful, yet smart
dresses, alpaca is an exceedingly nice
material; cream 13 chosen here. The
overskirt has a panel front and is
trimmed at edge and a few inches
above by bands of material, braided in
a Greek key design. A pleating forms
the underskirt, this is well pressed
and taped to keep the pleats flat. The
Magyar bodice has fine tucks on each
be basted together and then pressed
with a warm iron.
The pressing will show whether the
outer side is smaller than the lining,
and if it does this fault must be
promptly corrected lest the strain up
on the silk cause it to pull away from
thr center seam. When assured that
both sides are of equal size the edges
should be run together with a fine
thread and then bound with half inch
strips of suede or glace kid.
Covert cloth, striped worsteds and
fancy mohair make really serviceable
lap robes for moderate weather, and
as all of these fabrics are very wide
three yards will be enough for the
outer side, which should be tacked to
a lining of natural or colored linen,
and the edges of the two layers turned
in and stitched evenly together. Some
of the coverts and fancy worsted robes
are leather bound, but as it is impos
sible to do this work with an ordinary
sewing machine the binding would
better be of tailor's silk or of kid.
Perambulator lap robes are the
daintiest affairs imaginable, and In the
process of construction are a delight
to the worker. A yard of extra width
French pique is quite sufficient for
one of the wide hemmed robes, head
ed with a border of hand embroidery
or soutache, centered with a small
monogram and trimmed with large
bows of satin ribbon attached to the
top corners. Then there are the # lap
robes of allover embroidered batiste
in English eyelet or solid work, with
wide plain hemstitched borders in lieu
of the ruffles which of yore made the
front of the infant carriage resemble
a huge pin cushion, and newer still
are the lap robes of white French ser
pentine silk and linen crepe. These
latter are usually decorated with the
finest of hand embroidered forget-me
nots if the perambulator's occupant is
a boy and with tiny pink rosebuds if
a girl is being wheeled about.
When Cinders Fly.
A woman who is traveling much ot
her time always keeps in her bag a
few lawn or organdie covers, made in
the form of large squares, to protect
any garment that she particularly
cherishes from dust during the hours
of the night. Is her blouse fresh and
pretty? Then she folds the dainty
lawn square tenderly round it. Are
her corsets both new and expensive?
Another square of lawn covers them
from the insidious dust that "seeps"
in through the little screen of her
berth window. "Why lawn?" may be
asked. Only because it takes up so
much less room than linen.
shoulder, both back and front. A
braided strap outlines the nock and
is also taken down outside of arm and
round elbow. Hat of Tagel, trimmed
with cream satin ribbon, completes a
costume that has been much admired.
Material required for dress: 5 yards 44
inches wide.
Walking Costume.—Faintly striped
grey tweed makes up most success
fully in this style. The front panel
of skirt is wide and is cut into two
deop-pointed tabs each side the lower
part, a button being sewn in each tab.
The pattern measures just under two
yards round. The coat fastens invis
ibly down front; the tab at the lower
part is ornamentad with a button and
is hooked over to the left side. The
collar Is faced with grey silk lightly
braided at edge. Fancy straw hat in
royal blue, trimmed with ribbon. Ma
terials required for costume: B'i
yards 46 inches wide, 3 yards skirt
lining, 4 yards silk for lining coat,
5 buttons.
Joyce's Narrow
Escape
"Louie," called Mrs Joyce from her
dressing room, "will you button my
back?"
"In a minute," answered Joyce, as
he tugged with a refractory collar."
Mrs. Joyce stood before him with
her hands hanging limply at her
sides while Joyce struggled and pull
ed, buttoned one button and unbut
toned half a dozen. At last he fin
ished his task. But Mrs. Joyce still
stood before him, waiting expectant
ly. He smiled at her and then turned
to the work of getting his collar ad
justed.
In a few minutes he was deep in
the problem of choosing a tie, and so
Mrs. Joyce turned slowly away. She
was hurt and disapointed. She had
devoted two whole days to shopping
that she might get the exact shade
of lavender for the new gown which
she was wearing, because her hus
band had admired a costume like it
on a model in a window of one of the
shops. Now he didn't even notice
that she had on a new gown.
She waited all evening for him to
say something about it. But they went
to the theater and returned and then
had a little lunch, and she had gone
into kimono and slippers, and still
he did not mention the new gown.
"Louie," she said when she could
stand it 110 longer, "you never even
noticed that I had on a new gown to
night."
Joyce looked at her for a moment
and on his face was a tolerant, for
bearing smile, such as one uses when
one humors a child.
"So you thought I didn't notice it,
eh?" he replied. Then he chuckled
as though it were a good joke. "Well,
I am a better bluffer than I thought."
"It's funny you did not say a word
about it." Mrs. Joyce was plainly
skeptical.
"No, and I didn't say that I
thought you the handsomest woman
in the theater, but that's exactly
what I thought." Joyce was congrat
ulating himself.
Mrs. Joyce smiled, but persisted.
"I'll bet you don't even know what
color my new dress is."
"Oh, I don't?" exclaimed Joyce.
"Well, I'll just bet you a five-pound
box of candy that I do. I will prove
how much 1 know about it by telling
you the next time you wear the
gown." Surely, he thought, something
would happen in the meantime to get
him out of his dilemma.
"All right." said Mrs. Joyce, "but I
know a better way than that. You
may stop at Getem's tomorrow and
have sent out three vnrds of satin to
match it." Mrs. Joyce winked at her
self in the mirror.
"Great Scott!" groaned Joyce to
himself. Then aloud re said, "Right!"
Then he fell to wondering how he
could ever identify that dress. Then
he suddenly remembered that it had
some kind of bead work over the up
per part of it. Then he smiled to
himself.
Several hours later Mrs. Joyce was
awakened from a sound sleep by the
thought that burglars had broken in
and were trying to steal her new lav
ender gown. She felt for her hus
band, but could not find him. *
"Louie!" she called. "Where are
you?"
"Here," Joyce answered, his voice
coming from the next room.
"Did you hear anything? What are
you doing?' asked his wife.
"I thought 1 heard something and
I got up to see what it was, but I be
lieve it was only the cat. Let's go
to sleep and forget it," said Joyce.
"Miss Hawkins," called Joyce to
his stenographer the next morning,
"will you go to Getem's and have
them send to Mrs. Joyce three yards
of satin to match this sample? And
he took from a pocket a tiny parcel
and, unfolding it, disclosed to view a
piece of lavender silk about a half
inch long.
Miss Hawkins' eyes twinkled as
she touched a piece of paper with
the faintest suspicion of mucilage
and softly dropped the tiny bit of
floss upon it.
"That's so it will not blow away,"
she explained.
"It is kind of small," admitted
Joyce,"but a fellow can't get much
of anything from the inside edge of
a seam."
Real Life and Romance.
There is no use talking—this old
world isn't at all like a novel. In
novels, when a girl is ill she gets
pale and big-eyed, and looks like an
angel in a white cashmere loose
thing that might be a wrapper, and
might not be. In real life she has a
red nose, swelled eyes, her hair is
out of curl, she has a red flannel
rag around her neck, and a faded
dress on, so that the turpentine and
oil and goose-greese won't hurt if
they soak through, and if you kiss
her you can taste quinine and all
sorts of things all day.
Road of Leather Waste.
Birmingham, England, has a road
made of leather waste, which is judged
to be a complete success. There had
been no use for the waste leather un
til somebody conceived the idea of
roadmaking with it. It was first
shredded into fine bits, and then treat
ed with bitumen and tar. The road
has been in existence for a year and
shows but few signs of wear. More
over, it makes a comfortable footing
for horsea.
EVIDENTLY SHE WAS ANNOYED
Good Wife's Punishment, Intended for
Husband, Poor Compensation
to Revivalist.
A popular revivalist had been hold
ing services at a town In Mississippi
when a heavy rain came on, and he ac
cepted an Invitation to pass the night
at the house of one of the towns
men. Observing the preacher's
drenched clothing, the host brought
out a suit of his own and sent his
guest upstairs to don it.
The good man had made the change
and was on his way back to the sit
ting room, when the woman of the
house came out of another room, hold
ing in her hands the big family Bible,
out of which the minister was to be
invited to read a chapter before the
family went to bed.
She was not, however, in a very
amiable frame, of mind, for careful
housewives are likely to be put out of
sorts by the advent of unexpected
company. Seeing the revivalist in his
borrowed garments, she mistook him
for her husband, and as he passed in
front of her she lifted the book and
brought it down sharply on his head.
"There!" she exclaimed. "Take that
for asking him to stay all night!"—

To' Laugh at Tuberculosis.
Much ignorance prevails among the
unfortunate victims of tuberculosis
and families of these unfortunates, ac
cording to the Los Angeles Herald.
For such as these the words spoken
by Adolphus Knopf should be chiseled
in Imperishable granite. Or, better
still, they should be published In ev
ery public print, viz: "There is no
such thing as hereditary tuberculosis.
The remedy Is simple and all should
know it. It is one of the most easily
curable of all the chronic infectious
diseases. You can cure consumption
by the unstinted use of God's good
fresh air, twenty-four hours in twenty
four, plenty of good food and plenty
of good water, inside and out. You
all know that cleanliness is next to
godliness. Children should get all
the fresh air possible. They should
nleep and play In the open air. They
should attend open-air schools."
Sufficient Evidence. •
Having vouched for the honesty of
the woman who wished a situation as
scrub-woman the good-natured man
was subjected to a severe examina
tion by the superintendent of the
building.
"There are 'legrees of honesty,"
said the superintendent. "How hon
est is she?"
The good-natured man reflected.
"Well," said he, "I'll tell yuu. She
is so honest that If you throw any
thing that looks to be worth a °op
per into the waste basket you ha*e
to tag it 'Destroy this,' or she will
fish it out and put it back on your
desk night after night, no matter how
badly you want to get rid of it. I
don't know that I can say anything
more."
"No more is necessary," said the
superintendent, and he proceeded to
hire the woman.
STRONGER THAN MEAT
A Judge's Opinion of Grape-Nuts.
A gentleman who has acquired a ju
dicial turn of mind from experience
on the bench out in the Sunflower
State writes a carefully considered
opinion as to the value of Grape-Nuts
as food. He says:
"For the past 5 years Grape-Nuts
has been a prominent feature in out
bill of fare.
"The crisp food with the delicious,
nutty flavor has become an indis
pensable necessity in my family's
everyday life.
"It has proved to be most healthful
and beneficial, and has enabled us to
practically abolish pastry and pies
from our table, for the children prefer
Grape-Nuts, and do not crave rich and
unwholesome food.
"Grape-Nuts keeps us all in perfect
physical condition —as a preventive of
disease it is beyond value. I have been
particularly impressed by the benefi
cial effects of Grape-Nuts when used
by ladies who are troubled with face
blemishes, skin eruptions, etc. It
clears up the complexion wonderfully.
"As to Its nutritive qualities, my ex
perience is that one small dish of
Grape-Nuts is superior to a pound of
meat for breakfast, which is an impor
tant consideration for anyone. It sat
isfies the appetite and strengthens the
power of resisting fatigue, while its
use Involves none of the disagreeable
consequences that sometimes follow
a meat breakfast." Name given by
