DOCTOR PRESCRIBED CUTICURA
After Oilier Treatment Failed Haw
Eczema on Hnliy's Fare Had
lasted Three Months.
"Our baby boy broke out with eczema on
his face when one month old.. One place
on the side of his face the size of a nickel
was raw like beefsteak for three months,
nnd. he would cry out when I bathed the
parts that wore sore and broken out. I
gave him three months' treatment from a
(rood doctor, but at the end of that time
the child was no better. Then my doctor
recommended Cuticura. After using n cake
of Cuticura Soap, a third of a box of Cuti
cura Ointment, and half a bottle of Cuti
cura Resolvent lie was well and his face
was as smooth as am' baby's, lie is now
two years anrl a half old and no eczema
has reappeared. Jlrs. M. T,. Harris, Alton,

-Fannie S. J)avis, In Good Housekeeping.
Ingenious Johnnie.
Mother had a bright red apple
which alie wished to glvo to tho chil
dren, at the samo timo teaching the
little brother a lesson in generosity.
Johnnie bad a peculiar fondness for
apples.
Calling him to her side, she said:
"Now, dear, mamma has a nice, rosy
applo to give you, nnd she wants you
to bo generous." That word was not
in Johnnie's vocabulary, so he sai'd:
"Mama,, what do you mean by being
generous?"
"Oh, dear, that means you are to
divide the apple into two parts, and
give sister the larger."
Johnnie was silent. Suddenly his
face brightened, as he handed the ap
ple again to his mother saying: "Ma
ma, give it to sister and tell her to be
generous." The Delineator.
Little Fathers,
"Every one has heard of the little
mothers of this city," 6ays a Boston
Woman who has come to live in Man
hattan, "and I think it is about time
some one should speak a word for the
little fathers. To a person coming
from another city, one of the impres
sive features of child life in New
York is the devotion of older boys
to their younger sisters and brothers.
Nowhere else, I believe, do boys re
veal publicly uch affection for little
tots and so willingly take care of
them. With no Ehamefacedness docs
the New York boy wheel tho baby
carriage or go-cart, or tote the youngs
ter in his arms. The tender thought
fulness with which they guide and
guard their little. sisters and brothers
is perfectly beautiful and deserves
wider recognition." Christian Regis
ter. An Odd UEe for Bread.
Terhaps tho most novel use to
which bread is put, says the Ameri
can Food Journal, may be seen in tho
great factories of the Elgin National
Watch Company, at Elgin, Illinois,
where more than forty loaves of fresh
bread are required each day. Super
intendent George E. Hunter, of the
watch factory, is quoted as Baying:
"There Is no secret regarding the
use of bread in this factory, and I am
willing to tell all I can concerning it.
From the earliest times in the history
of watch-making, it has been the cus
tom of watch-makers to reduce fresh
bread to the form of dough. This is
done by steaming and kneading.
They can use this dough for remov
ing oil and hips that naturally ad
here, in course of manufacture, to
watch. There are many parts of a
watch. There re many parts of a
watch, by the way, which are so small
as to be barely visible to the naked
eye.. The oil is absorbed by the
dough, and the chips stick to it, and
there is no other known Biibstance
which can be used as a wiper without
leaving some small particles attached
to the thing wiped. This accounts
for the continued use of bread dough
In the watchmaking industry. The
Elgin National Wateh Company uses
something over forty two-pound
loaves per day, or about 24,000
pounds a year."
Famous Numbers.
The Famous Numbers game is al
ways entertaining and exciting to
bright people. It requires no prepara
tion except a quantity of small slips
of paper, on which the different num
bers from 1 to 20 are written. Each
number should be repeated several
times on different slips.
' Jumblo the fragments thoroughly In
the basket. The leader selects a pa
per at random, unfolds it and announces-
what number is written
there. Tho player first to call out
some reference appropriate to the
number called wins the slip.
A few references applicable to the
numbers are given here to show the
possibilities of the plan. Say, for ex
ample, that the leade." names . the
nu:.uer 3. The quick-witted player
will recall:
The three Virtues, tho three Graces,
the three Fates, tno brave Three who
kept the bridge with Horatlus, the
three Wise Men of Gotham.
Four recalls the Four Georges, the
Four Seasons, Fourth of March,
Fourth of July.
Seven suggests, Wo Are Seven, The
Seven Sleepers, Seven Wonders, the
Seven Sages.
Twelve, Twelve months of the year.
Twelves Caesars, Twelve Disciples,
Twelfth Night ,
Numbers to which less reference Is
attached may be given but once on
the slips, but almost all will furnish
at least some literary,, legendary or
historical connection, or some popular
catch.
Twenty-one stands for the age of
majority, twenty-three "slcldoo." six
teen the "sweet sixteen" of girlhood,
nine the nine Muses, "tbe ninety and
sine," etn.
The game lasts while the number
of slips holds out. The player who at
the end of that timo has most count
ers to show is winner. New York

Claudia's Danner Signals.
Claudia had been hoping for the day
when she would go to school. It
seemed to her a very long time in
coining; but at last tho wlshed-for
morning arrived, and the tiny girl,
In her pretty white dress and pink
jumper, with a pink ribbon on her
hair, started for the school-house
with a neighbor.
Claudia tame homo at noon quito
nlono.
"And how did you llko it?" mamma
asked.
"Oh, it was beautiful!" Claudia
answered.
"Were the teacher and the children
pleasant?"
"Yes, mamma, they were all very
nice! But O mamma!" and her
Hps began to tremble "I'm afraid I
can't go any more, there's so mucb
danger!"
"Danger? What do you mean,
dear?"
"I saw a boy who said I ought not
to go to school, there's so much dan
ger it's up tho street and down the
street, and everywhere!"
Mamma was very much puzzled.
Claudia could not tell what the dan
ger was that threatened her, but she
persisted in saying it was every
where. "Well, never mind," mamma said
finally. "I wiil go with you this after
noon, and wo will find out."
After luncheon they started,- Claudia
holding fast to mamma's band. As
they turned the corner, the little girl
pointed ahead.
"There, mamma," she said, "there's
the danger!"
Mamma stared, and then laughed,
for down the street the road-roller
was at work, and there was a sign of
warning "DANGER" in big letters!
"And it's up tho other way, too!"
Claudia cried.
Mamma looked and sure enough,
there was another sign of "DAN
GER": the road was being torn up.
Then mamma explained to Claudia
that tho "danger" was not to little
girls, but to people driving horses. It
meant that they must not come too
near, or the horses might be fright
crfed ind run nway.
After that Claudia went to school
alone, and she was never troubled by
any "danger" signs again. Emma
C. Dowd, in Sunday School Times.
Eenny's Peaches.
"Here is a little peach-tree that
they threw in when I bought the
others," said Mr. Wilson. "Would you
like to have It, Benny?"
"Oh, if you please!" cried Benny,
eagerly.
"You can set it " at tho corner
wbero the orange tree died," Bald his
father.
Benny planted his ,tree with great
care. He dug tho hole, partly filled it
with rich, mellow earth, leaving a
little mound in tho center. Then he
set in the tree, spreading the roots
carefully over the mound, filling up
the hole with rich earth.
He went to visit it often, and when
a week had gone by, he saw that the
swelling buds, instead of being
green, were of a pinkish hue. And
the next time ho found Borne little
pink blossoms, and was nearly wild
with delight.
"O, papa," he cried, "my little tree
is going to bear this year!"
"It's a brave little tree," said papa,
"but it miiEt not bear so young.
You'd better pick all the blossoms
off."
Benny was disappointed, but follow
ed his father's advice. Soon the leaf
buds opened, and the tree began to
grow. ..
When the second spring came the
blossoms appeared again. And after
the blossoms dropped there were lit
tle fuzzy balls, and pana said, "It will
do l.o harm to leave a few."
The peaches ripened in June, and
were great red-cheeked beauties, and
there was one for each of tho family.
During the second season the peach
tree made a greot growth, and tho
third spring the branches were thick.
Then it blossomed onco more, and set
full of little greon peaches, and Ben
ny said, "I shall leave every one on
the tree."
His father came to look. "If you
loavo every ono on," he said, "your
peaches will be small and wortli but
little. . I should pick half of them off."
The peaches began to swell. They
grew to a wonderful size, and as they
ripened, the sun gave them a rich
color. When tho buyer camo to look
at them, he said they were so fino be
would give an extra price.
"1 think that half of the money Is
for peaches and tho other half for my
patience," he said. Mattie Baker In

soap into thin slices; put it Into two
gallons of rain or soft water and when
nearly dissolved add three ounces bo

Cheese Cloth Uses.
Cheeso cloth should bo used more
commonly for household purposes than
it is. Tho material has the special
merit of being firm, yet so loosely wo
ven that grease comes out readily in
washing, thus it Is more easily kept
clean than linen or crash, for which
it may many times bo substituted. An
unbleached quality that costs not
more than five cents a yard is quite
as good for general use as more ex
pensive fabrics.
The best kind of dishcloths are
made of it. The material should be
doubled, raw edges turned in and
stitched on the machine. This will
wear, and because it cleans so easi
ly is most sanitary for warm weather
in that it will not become saturated
nnd smell of grease. Rinsing in soap
and water will be nil that Is necessary
for cleansing.
For nice furniture It 13 the best kind
of cloth for cleaning, and nil cabin
etmakers keep three, sets for work.
The first is used for applying the oil,
tho second to rub it off, and tho third
is tho polisher. Similar treatment for
dining room tables will keci them in
tbe pink of condition.
Cb.eesc cloth will save the daily use
of an egg in boiled Toffee merely by
having small bass of the cotton kept
in tho kitchen. Put the grounds Into
one and twist tho top around tight
with thread, a specl of wMch should
be handy for the purpose. The same
bag may be used many times. There
is nothing in tho cleaning line for
which it is not good.
Windows and mirrors will never
have a speck of lint on their shining
surface if cheese cloth is used, and
for all kinds of work It will be found
invaluable. A bag made of it should
always be kept in the kitchen for
straining soups.
Tissue paper is another vnlunble
household asset that all housekeepers
do not appreciate. All of it that comes
Into the house should be saved.
Moistened with alcohol, it polishes
mirrors to perfection, and even dry
will mako them shine. Silver, oil hard
woods used for furniture, and steel,
also brass, if not badly tarnished, will
respond immediately to treatment
with tissue paper, and for packing of
all kinds it is"niost useful. I-aee, silk
and al ribbons should always be
i:on between two layers of it, for tho
materials will not then be shiny.

How Voices Are Kuined.
Many excellent voices are ruined,
according to a conimunlcatlan which
Dr Weiss has made to tho French
Academic du Medicine, by practicing
In too small a room. A public sing
er must throw every intonation of his
voice a distance of 30 or 40 yards,
ho says, but a Btudent practicing in
a small room is only ablo to throw
it a yard or two, and the consequence
Is that the voice. Instead of expand
ing, becomes telescoped.
