In Agony With Ecxetna.
"No tongue can tell how I suffers
(or five years with Itching and bleed
ing eczema, until I was cured by th
Cutlcura Remedies, and I am so grate
ful I want the world to know, for
what helped me will help others. My
body and face were covered with sores.
One day It would seem to be better,
and then break out again with the
most terrible pain and Itching. I
have been sick several times, but
never in my life did I experience such
awful suffering as with this eczema. I
had made up my mind that death was
near at hand, and I longed for that
time when I would be at rest. I had
tried many different doctors and med
icines without success, and my moth
r brought me the Cutlcura Remedies,
Insisting that I try them. I began tat
feel better after the first bath with
Cutlcura Soap, and one application of
Cutlcura Ointment.
, "I continued with the Cutlcura
Boap and Cutlcura Ointment, and hare
taken four bottles of Cutlcura Resolv
ent, and consider myself well. This
was nine years ago and I have had
no return of the trouble since. Any
person having any doubt about this
wonderful cure by the Cutlcura Rem
edies can write to my address. Mrs.
Ante Etson, 93 Inn Road, Battle
Creek, Mich., Oct. 16. 1909."
High Prices for 8tale Food.

ggs, fresh flsh or fresh fowls, we
ought to get fresh eggs, fresh fish or
fresh fowls. Even as the laborer Is
worthy of his hire, the purchaser Is
entitled to value received," or some
thing approaching it. He is as much
entitled to protection against cold

Oldest Vehicle In America.
What Is claimed to be the oldest ve
hicle in America Is in possession of
the chamber of commerce, Los Ange
les, Cal. It vias made by the Pueblo
Indians of Tesuque, a village nine
miles from Santa Fe, New Mexico, and
was purchased In 1878 from a native
named Alfonso, who at that time was
65 years old. His statements and the
traditions of the village were to the
effect that the big, clumsy ox cart, or
carreeta, was handed down from fath
er to son for sufficient genarations to
place its origin in the seventeenth
century. The cart is composed of
wood and rawhide throughout, no
metal being used In Its construction.
The wheels are heavy sections of sy
camore, with clumsy, bow-like pieces
of rim secured opposite each other
on each wheel. The diameter of the
two ungainly wheels Is 98 inches. The
axle Is of hard wood and the 12-foot
tongue consists of a single length of
mesqulte. The body of the vehicle
la six feet long and very broad and
high In proportion. It is of rude,
rack-like construction. Popular Me
chanics. Air from the Heights.
Samples of air at a height of nearly
nine miles have been recently ob
tained and examined for the presence
of rare gases. The collecting appar
atus, carried by a large balloon le a
series of vacuum tubes, each drawn
out to a fine point at one end. At
the desired height, an electro-magnetlo
device, connected with each tube and
operated by a barometer, breaks off
the point of the tube, admitting the
air. A few minutes later, a second
contact sends a current through a
plalnum wire around the broken end,
melting the glass and sealing the tube.
All the samples obtained show argon
and neon, but no helium was found in
air from above six miles. Philadel

A GOOD CHANGE
A Change of Food Works Wonder.
The wrong food and drink causes a
lot of trouble In this world. To
ehange the food is the first doty of
every person that Is 111, particularly
from stomach and nervous trouble.
As an illustration: A lady in Mo. has,
with her hnsband, been brought
round to health again by leaving off
coffee and some articles of food that
did not agree with them. They began
using Postum and Grape-Nuts food.
She says:
"For a number of years I suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble,
which kept getting worse, until I was
very ill most of the time. About four
Tears ago I left off coffee and began
taking Postum. My stomach and
bowols Improved right along, but I
was so reduced in flesh and so ner
vous that the least thing would over
come me.
"Then I changed my food and be
gan using Grape-Nuts in addition to
Postum. I lived on these two princi
pally for about four months. Day by
day I gained in flesh and strength un
til now the nervous trouble has en
tirely disappeared and I feel that I
owe my life and health to Postum and
Grape-Nuts.
"Husband Is 73 years old and he
was troubled, for a long time, with
occasional cramps, and slept badly.
Finally I prevailed upon him to leave
off coffee and take Postum. He had
stood out for a long time, but after he
tried Postum for a few days he found
that he could sleep and that his
cramps disappeared. He was satis
fied and has never gone back to coffee.

has been using Postum for several
years; his whole family use it also be

Georgia Girl an Inventor.
Men have no monopoly of the ser
vices of the Patent Office in Washing
ton, and comparatively few of them
have turned out so many Inventions
that have proved commercially suc
cessful in the last few years as Miss
Bertha E. Baumer, of Atlanta, Ga.
Her last invention is a novel auto
matic device to save elevators from
falling when a cable parts or works
loose, and engineers have pronounced
It a marvel of mechanical ingenuity
and simplicity. Miss Baumer has just

Wife and Mother.
Corbett, in his well known book,
"Advice to Young Men," gave the fol
lowing advice on choosing a wife:
"There are comparatively few women
not replete with maternal love, and
by-the-bye, take you care if you meet
with a girl who 'Is not fond of chil
dren,' not to marry her by any
means. Some few there are who
even make a boast that they 'cannot
bear children,' that is, cannot endure
them.
"I never knew a man that was
good for much who had a dislke to
little children; and I never knew a
woman of that taste who was good
for anything. I have seen a few In
the course of my life, and I have nev
er wished to see one of them a second
time." Home Notes.
Tho Tight Skirts.
It Is almost impossible to hold up
the long, tight-fitting skirts. One
must pull the tight part well above
the knees, and then, unless one has
the hem the same length all around,
an expose Is sure to be made.
And in walking one is obliged to

add to the first njlxture with four cups of sifted flour, sifted

Impossible. Clearly, the couturiers
did not intend that their trailing
skirts should be worn walking.
Although this mode for drawing in
closely just below the knees the
draperies both of mantles and of
gowns can scarcely be recommended
un the Bcore of grace, there is yet
something to be said in its favor as a
draught excluder, and the curious
way in which the full draperies of
soft sapphire blue velvet are drawn
down and held in place by two bands
of ermine, is very characteristic of the
mode of the moment. Philadelphia

Invitations For Tin Wedding.
In celebrating the fifth wedding an
niversary the tin emblem should pre
dominate throughout the arrange
ments. The invitations may be sent
on tin, and from then on the metal
should be conspicuous. All guests are
expected to send or bring a gift, but
it is not good form to present any
but the material typified. A piece of
glass at a tin wedding is not correct,
nor need one expect that the hostess
will wish a handsome remembrance.
The funnier the gifts the better, for
It is only with the progress of years,
when silver, glass and linen anniver
saries arrive, that elegance and for
mality are expected.
When Invitations for a tin wedding
are sent the services of a tinsmith
will be required, for he must cut the
sheet metal into pieces the proper size
to fit note envelopes. The writing
on these must be done with a fine
paint brush dipped into white oil

Those invited should acknowledge

should be concentrated on arranging
the table, which must carry out the

TOE SEA'SMS
New York City. Blouses such as
this one are in demand at all reasons
of the year. They are charming made
from all lingerie materials and are at-
tractive made from messallnc, crepe
de Chine and other thin silks, while a
great many women use them for light
wools also. This one is adapted to
all the materials mentioned and to
the gown as well as to the odd blouse.
It Includes prettily tucked sleeves,
and it allows singularly effective use
of embroidery. The embroidered dai
sies are exceedingly simple, yet they
produce an effect of elaboration.
Handkerchief lawn with banding of
lace are the materials illustrated, but
any banding that may be preferred
'can be substituted.
The waist is made with front and
backs and with tucked shoulder
straps that are novel and becoming.
The sleeves are cut In one piece and
the stock collar finishes the neck.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is three and
seven-eighth yards twenty-one or
twenty-four, two and a half yards
thirty-two or two yards forty-four
inches wide with four and a half
yards of banding.
Sleeves.
When the sleeve begins to grow it
Is pretty sure to keep on until an ex
aggerated arm covering is reached.
But not until skirts take on more am
plitude than they have had for some
years will there be very large sleeves.
Lovely Turbans.
Two rich materials, tapestry 'and
fur, are to be found on some lovely
little turbans, and the effect is beau
tiful. We Economize Space.
Shoulders are as flat as ever, and
the leg-o'-mutton sleeves promised .to
us have not yet materialized, and, in
deed, dress generally seems at pres
ent as though specially designed to
cause one to occupy as little space as
possible.
Much Used on Lace.
Gold and silver thread and colored
silks are much used to ornament filet
net lace.
NEW DESIGNS
Silk Shawls.
It is probable that the beautiful old
crepe shawls of white, gold or rose
silk which were sniped from Canton
in the days of our great-grandmothers
will soon be unpacked from the
paper wrappings In which they have
lain so long.
Eight Gored Skirt.
Skirts that give long lines at front
and back are very generally becom
ing. This one Includes that feature,
and also the panel effect at the aides
that is so smart and so much liked.
It will be found adapted to all season
able materials. In the illustration it
is made from serge with simple tailor
stitching, but the style suits linen and
materials of the sort, which many
women make up in midwinter quite
as well as it does woolen ones. In
fact, the skirt is one of the smartest
and latest to have appeared and can
be made very generally useful.
The skirt is made in eight gores,
and those at the front and back are
extended to full length and overlaid
to give a box pleat effect. The side
panels are made in sections and are
lapped over the narrow centre gores
to form pleats, which provide becom
ing flare while at the same time per
fect slenderness over the hips is pre
served. The quantity of material required
for the medium size is seven and a
half yards twenty-seven, four and 4
quarter yards forty-four or flfty-two
inches wide, when material has figure
or nap; six and a half yards twenty
seven, four and a quarter yards forty
four or three and a half yards fifty-
two inches wide when material has
neither figure nor nap. The width of
the skirt at the lower edge Is three
and a half yards.
Drawing the Threads.
Linen threads are always drawn
more easily if the dressing is first
taken out. Make a heavy lather of
white soap and brush It over the sur
face where you wish to draw the
threads. Let this dry In, and the
threads will be much more easily re
moved. Coats Fuller.
Most of the new coats show added
fulnesa.
WEATHER RETARDS TRADE

Buying Is Ahead of Last

"Trade reports are rather more ir
regular. Stormy, cold weather over
wide areas of country has apparently
retarded the explanation of spring job

tion has kept up well, in advance of
last year In fact, and distinct gains in
the volume of house trade are report
ed at many points. Retail trade has
been restricted, and this in turn oper
ates against reorder trade in spring
goods with jobbers. Industry contin
ues active but there Is rather more
evidence of friction in some lines, par
ticularly In railroad labor. Strikes
of street car hands at Philadelphia
checked trade early In the week. Col
lections are about fair.
