About twelve or fifteen years ago I had

badly that I could not have any peace be
cause of it. Three doctors did not help me.
Then I used some Cuticura Soap. Cuticura
Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent and be

me and I have not been bothered with the
Itching since, to amount to anything.
'About two years ago I had la grippe and
pneumonia which left me with a pain in
my side. Treatment ran it into my leg,
which then swelled and bpgan to break out.
The doctor was afraid it would turn to

did no good, then I used the Cuticura
Remedies three times and cured the breaking-out

Pays $1,000 a Night to Sleep.
Like most autocrats, the Sultan of
Turkey goes about in hourly fear of
assassination, and it is tn this ac-
ount that he will never sleep In the
ark.' His constant dread of death
as made him a prey to insomnia,,
and he does not often sleep for more
than three or four hours at a time.
It is said to cost him nearly $1,000 a
night to have his bedroom guarded,
for the attendants entrusted with this
important mission are all tried re
tainers, who recelvo princely salaries
for their work. Many are the ruses
tSoyited by the sultan to escape from
wculd-be assassins. In one of the
) ante-chambers leading to his private-
apartments is placed a life-sized fig
ure of his majesty, for the purpose ot
misleading any prowling revolution
ary who might happen to penetrate
thus far. Tit-Bits.
Balloons Need Pure Gas.
A writer in a contemporary states
that he examined the envelope of a

number of spots were visible on the
envelope, and at these places the ma
terial could be easily torn, whereas at
other parts it showed great resist-

to Impure materials ,in the prepara

recommends that the preparation of
the gas for filing balloons should be
under strict chemical control.

THEY GROW
Good Bnmor and Cheerfulness from
Right Food.
Cheerfulness Is like sunlight. It
dispels the clouds from the mind as
fanlight chases away the shadows of
night.
The good humored man can pick
up and carry off a load that the man
jp'ith a grouch wouldn't attempt to
lift.
Anything that Interferes with good
health is apt to keep cheerfulness and
good humor in the background. A

New York City. The over waist I
in all its variations continues to be a
favorite of the fashionable world and
It allows of so many different effects
and such charming treatment that the
fact is easy to understand. This one
is novel and graceful and can be
utilized either for plain material or
for banding, while the blouse beneath
can be made of anything thin and
soft that may be liked. As illustrat
ed, however, the overwalst is made
of embroidered banding, while the
blouse itself is of crepe nlnon with
the chemisette of tucked moussellne.
The sleeves that extend Just to the
elbows and are finished with narrow
frills are pretty and attractive, but
they can be cut a 'little longer, cover
ing the elbows, if liked, in which case
they would be made with cuffs to
match the chemisette, as shown In the
small view. When the blouse is made
with banding, as in this Instance, the
sections are cut separately and Joined
one to the other over the shoulders,
but when it is cut from plain material
there is no need of such joinings.
In either case the over waist and the
blouse are joined at their lower edges
and are attached to a foundation gir
dle over which the draped one is ar
ranged. The blouse is made with front and
backs and is faced to form the chem
isette, the material beneath being cut
away when a transparent effect is de
sired. The larger portions of the
over blouse are cut in one piece each
with the centre front portion separ
ate, and are arranged over the blouse,
which is gathered at the lower edge
and joined to the girdle. The sleeves
are moderately full and are arranged
over fitted linings which are faced
to form the cuffs of the three-quarter
sleeves or trimmed with frills of lace
in the case of the elbow sleeves.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is, for the blouse,
two and a half yards twenty-one, two
and a quarter yards twenty-seven, or
one and a half yards forty-four inches
wide, with three-quarter yard of tuck
ing for chemisette; one and one-eighth
yards eighteen or twenty-one inches
wide orfour andthree-quarteryardsof
banding two and a half Inches wide
for the over waist and sleeve bands;
five-eighth yard of silk for the girdle. 1
Stockings must match shoe,
whither white, blue or tan.
Black Velvet Dots.
In making up a black spangled
robe over a ruffle of pleated chiffon
It is a clever idea to connect the two
by sewing to the ruffle at regular in
tervals big disks of black velvet.
Fancy Blouse Waist.
The pretty fancy blouse waist Is
the one most In demand at the mo
ment both for the entire gown and
for the odd blouse. This one is adapt
ed to both purposes and would be
exceedingly charming made from any
of the fashionable thin materials. In
the illustration crepe de Chine is
combined with chemisette of lace and
is trimmed with heavy applique, while
the sleeves are finished with dainty
little bands and frills of Valenciennes
lace. The blouse, however, would be
charming in loulsine, in voile, in mar
quisette, in chiffon and all similar
materials and also in the fashionable
filet and embroidered nets. The soft
folds produced by the fullness at the
shoulders render it peculiarly well
adapted to these last and the model
is altogether a most satisfactory one.
There are the big arm-holes suggest
ive of Mandarin styles, yet which are
by no means clumsy or, exaggerated,
while the sleeves can be made either
in the pretty three-quarter or full
length. Altogether the blouse gives
an effect of eitreme dressiness and
charm, while it Is simple, involving
very little labor In the making.
The blouse Is made over a plain
lining without darts. This lining la
faced to form the chemisette and the
sleeves are attached to It. The blouse
proper consists of the fronts and the
backs and is arranged over the lining,
the two being closed invisibly at the
back. The sleeves are faced to form
the deep cuffs when long sleeves are
used to form the V-shaped portions
for those of three-quarter- length.
The collar can be made either curved
up back of the ears or straight as
fcund more becoming.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
three-eighth yards twenty-one, two
and seven-eighth yards twenty-seven
or one and seven-eighth yards forty
four Inches wide, with one-half yard
of all-over lace for the chemisette,
four yards of applique, one yard ot
insertion and one yard of edging to
make as illustrated, one and one-half
yards of all-over lace when the deep
cuffs are used.

cause the very rapid ultra-violet rad

formed between iron points, gives off

Building Unearthed In DaBylonla
Contains Bricks of 4500 B. C.
The oldest temple In the world, so

by excavators at Bisya, in Central
Babylonia.
The walls of the tower were first
uncovered and the summit cleared.
The first inscription on the surfnee

name Dungl, which goes back to 2750
B. C. A little lower appeared a
crumpled piece of gold with the name

Just below were large square bricks
peculiar to the reign of Sargon, 3800
B. C, and who was probably the first

Is that the constant beating the shoes
