naby'n Scalp All Crusted Over. "Our little daughter, when three months old, began to break out ou the head and we had the best doctors to treat her, but they did not do her any good. They s:iid she had eczema. Her scalp was a solid scale all over. The burning and itching was so severe that she could not rest, day or night. We had about given up all hopes when we read of the Cuticura Remedies. We at once got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, and followed directions carefully. After the first dose of the Cuticura Resolvent, we used the -Cuticura Soap freely and applied the Cuticura Ointment. Thea she began to improve rapidly and in two weeks the scale came off her head and new hair began to grow. In a very short time she was well. She is now sixteen years of age and a picture of health. We used the Cuticura Homed ies about five weeks, regularly, and then we could not tell she haJ been affected by the disease. We used no other treatments after wo found out what the Cuticura Remedies would do for her. J. Fish and Ella M. Fish, Mt Vernon, Ky., Oct. 12. 1909."

After keeping up a tirade for cany years against the billboard nuisance It i3 very pleasant to note in numerous towns that some drastic measures have been taken looking to the curtailment of this most offensive eyesore. The vacant lot is another problem, with or without the billboard. Ash heaps, piles of tin cans, broken dishes, baling wire, old bed springs, broken carts and perambulators, bottles without number and castoft shoes are a few of the decorations noted in vacant lots of some of our towns. Neatness 13 indicative of cleanliness just as surely In the case of a municipality as with individuals. While it may cost a little to secure this cleanliness, the cost of maintenance of a high standard would be very little, and assurance of such desirable conditions could be brought about by the passage and enforcement of suitable ordinances. Neatness has its own reward, for, aside from improved appearances, a decided menace to health Is removed. The value of cleanliness to the city beautiful movement is simply incalculable. Beautiful surroundings have a decided effect upon the character of our lives. Clean characters come only from clean conditions and clean surroundings. That town Is not a desirable place of residence in which many evidences are Seen of slovenly municipal housekeeping. Unclean! Iness is not a valuable asset to a town's progress. HARD ON CHILDREN Warn Tearhrr IIa ColTee Habit. "Best is best, and be3t will ever live." When a person feels this way about Postum they are glad to give testimony for the benefit of others. A school teacher down in Miss. says: "I had been a coffee drinker since my childhood, and the last few years it had injured me seriously. "One cup of coffee taken at breakfast would cause me to become so nervous that I could scarcely go through with the day"3 duties, and this nervousness was often accompanied by deep depression of spirits and heart palpitation. "I am a teacher by profession, and when under the influence of coffee had to struggle against crossness when ia the school room. "When talking this over with my physician, he suggested that I try Postum, so I purchased a package and made it carefully according to directions; found it excellent of flavor and nourishing. "In a short time I noticed very gratifying effects. My nervousness disappeared, I was not irritated by my pupils, life seemed full of sunshine, and my heart troubled me no longer.

l.rlter 4 st llritle. The following letter was vr. itten by in old friend to a young lad.' on the ;ve of her wedding day: , I have sent you a few flowers to idorn the dying moments o your single life. They are the gentlest types f a delicate and durable friendship. They spring up by our side when ithers have deserted it; and they will De found watching over our grave when those who should cherish have 'crgjttcn us. It seem.-? that a past, so ;alm and pure as yours, should cv pire with kindred sweetness about it; that flowers and music, kind friends inj earnest words, should consecrate the hour when a sentiment is passing into a sacrament. The three great stages of our being ire the birth, the bridal and the burial. To the first we bring only weakness, for the last we have nothing but dust! But here at tho altar, whore life joins life, the pair come throbbing up to the holy man, whispering th? deep promises that arn.s each other's heart to help on in t:e life struggle Df care and duty. The beautiful will be there, borrowing new beauties from the scene. The gay and the frivolous, tv.ey and their flounces will look solemn for once. And youth will come to gaze on all that its sacred thoughts pant for; and age will totter up to hear the old words repeated, that to their own lives have given the charm. Some will veep over it as if it wer? a tomb, and some laugh over it as if It were a joke; but two must stand by it, for it is fate, not fun, this everlasting locking of their lives! And now, ca.? you, who have qtiectied it over so many bending forms, can you come down io the frugal diet of a sincrle heart? Hitherto von Ii.ivp boon ! a clock giving your time to all the I world. Now you are a watch, buried in one particular bosom, warming only his breast, nuking only his hours, and tickirg only to the beat of his heart, where tkne and ticking shall bo in unison, until these . lower ties aro lost in that higher wedlock where all hearts are united around the Central Heart of all. Hoping that calm and sunshine may hallow your clasped Innds, I sink silently into a signature. Man ford's Magazine. To Keep Younpr.

A mother lately hit upon the happy Idea of bavins a '"rainy day" cupboard, the key of which always remains strictly in her possession ami is used only when a rainy day Keeps the b.iirnies indoors. The contents are added tj and varied from time tt time. There i: crepe paper, with a I mk of instructions how to transform it into various pretty things; paints, .magazines; to b; (olored and cut out, brads of all colors and sizes, and the ever-fascinating jig gaws, says Home Notes. These are all sacred to wet weather, and since tho rainy day cupboard was Instituted. rainy days have ceased to be dreaded. To Iron I. Inen. As linens form a large percentage of summer dresses, it is advisable to study a method of preserving the beauty of this fabric. No linen should be starched. True, linn has a crisp, clean finish when starched and ironed, but it rumples easily and one wearing makes a garment unfit for second appearance. Instead, dampen the goods well and Iron until perfectly dry. Iron

as much of a garment as possible on the wrong side to raise the thread. In washing blue linen add vinegar to the last rinsing water. Place a teaspoonful of soda in a gallon of water when dipping a lavender, l'se no bluing in tans, but supply it plentifully in the rinsing water for white, blue and pink. Green should not be dipped into indigo wafer. When the green begins to fade dip it into a -our v solution of water and vinegar and liang it in the shade to dry. Dress linens are not unlike table linens as to laundry work, as hard pressing on damp material furnishes a certain amount of stiffness, sufficient for such fabrics. Use a very large iron for pressing large pieces. Vnr llealllt nud Strength. A sun bath is of more value to health than much 'warming by the lire. A little good toilet water or cologne poured into a bath is delightful in its effects. If your heart Is weak, do not indulge in fchowers, and be careful to temper the water, no matter how strong the heart. An excellent household remedy for Imrns is a pure vaseline or olive oil. The great thing is to exclude the air and dirt from the burned surface and this the oil will do. Drinking with meals greatly dilutes the saliva, making mastication all the more difficult; besides in this way the contents are easily softened and washed down before being properly chewed. To take disagreeable medicine eat one or two cloves or hold ice in the mouth until the tongue is chilled, and the medicine will be less disagreeable. Medicines that discolor the teeth may be taken through soda straws. Simple Turlmn. The folded turban of oft straw or silk, trimmed only with a large rosette of flowers, or a chou of tulle, is a popular and most becoming hat for the young girl. Need leu or k .ole. Bullion stitch works in effectively on embroidery for gowns.. Geometrical figures are always used in Hardanger embroidery. The making of lace is a pleasant ?3 well as a fashionable pastime. Rich lieu embroidery is one of tho loveliest of the different forms of cut work. A dainty centerpiece was embroidered in jonquils and feathery sprays f maidenhair fern. Irish crochet roses appliqucd on a band of filet net make a dainty and effective trimming for a party gown. A dashingly effective Japanese notif is a great dragon embroidered solid with satin stitch and large clusters of French knots. Ruffles thought scant ones, begin at the hem of the dress and It takes nine short ones to complete the entire skirt to the edge of the embroidered cuirasse. In cutting the yokes for waist and skirt cut them first of soaie other van-

terial than that of the frock, fit them exactly and then cut the yokes of material from these. When a tablecloth becomes too worn for use the good parts may be cut up in numerous little trays and doilies. Edged with cliüiy lace they are dainty as well as exceedingly useful. Hoaie-made pillow cases should have the selvage torn from the material, then overcast. This makes pillow cases much smoother and they will not wrinkle along the seam. Cut the selvage from napkins to give a neather turned edge. If you have a number of old sheets that have outlived their usefulness, sew small rings across one end of each and use them as clothes covers. Tne rings may be placed over hooks and by tucking the sheet under and using a few pins fine dresses, coats and furs can be protected from dust.

The new coat suits are shorter than they were last summer, running between twenty-eight and thirty-two inches, and they, too, are cut on a straight line under the arm and fastened single-breasted with plain osmoked pearl buttons. The fronts a .ut away' from the last button. There is no doubt that the cca which is longer in the back than Si. front, materially assists in lengthening that sweeping line from neck to heel which is the very foundation of a good figure. The envelope flap is also in evidence, and it is not an unattractive trimming below the waist. Ever since the days of the immense directoire pockets between the knees and hips there has been more or less ornamentation at this point. Now it is the pointed flat. lralen Women Who Work. That Cardinal Gibbons had no respect for idle women was made very evident in the opinion which he expressed recently: "I have ten times more respect (or the woman who goe3 Jbut and earns her living, toils for herself and family and becomes a good housekeeper, rather than for the Idle and gossiping society woman who passed away her precious moments in doing nothing. It is an honorable thing to work, and honorable and industrious work is what has made this nation great. Never be afraid to work, and always be ready to do your share. Men alene should not be industrious. Women also must work, and the working woman commands, and should command, more respect than the idU ".vornan." Uli it cid Feather. Recently some one wanted to know what to do with feathers that have a bad odor. They were plucked too green and the oil in them has become rancid. To expose them to the sua only adds to the trouble. They should be washed and thoroughly dried, an 1 then on fine days they must be spread out on the ground in the shade wheithe wind can blow through them They will be fresh and sweet. Woo! en blankets and feathers mast not h exposed to the sun's rays. On breezy days hang the blankets in the shade, where the winds can visit them freely, and they will regain their lluffiness.

How They Jlel. At the panorama of the P.attle of Shiloh in this city a small, shriveledup man made himself conspicuous bygoing around the plate sniveling dolorously. He did not appear to be more that five feet high. He was dressed all in black, and his attenuated for.ru and gray whiskers gave him a peculiarly grotesque appearance. He seemed to be greatly interested in the panorama, and as he moved from one point of view to another he groaned and wept copiously.- A tall, raw-boned man approached him; he wore gray clothes and a slouch hat, and he had the general appearance of a Misfourian away from home on a holiday. "Reckon you were at Shiloh, eh, stranger?" asked the tall, raw-boned man. "Yes," replied the small, shriveledup man; "and i shall never forget it: it was the toughest battle of the war." "I was thar," said the tall, raw- ! boned man, ' and .:ny regiment was drawn up right over yonder where you see that clump of trees." "You were a rebel, then?" "I was a Confederate," replied the tall, raw-boned man, "and I did some right smart fighting among that clump of trees that day." "I remember it well," said the small." sViveled-up man, "for I was a Federal soldier, and the toughest scrimmage in all that battle was just a-mong that clump of trees." "Prentiss was the Yankee generrl," remarked the tall, raw-boned man, "and I'd have given a pretty to have seen him that day. But, dog-on mt, the little cuss kept out of sight, and we uns came to the conclusion he was a hidin' in the rear somewhar." "Our boys were after Marmaduke," said the small, shrivefed-up man, "for he was the rebel general and had bothered us a great deal. But we could get no glimpse of him he was too sharp to come to the front, and it was lucky for him, too." "Oh, but what a scrimmage it was," said the tall, raw-boned man. "How the sabers clashed and how the minies whistled!" cried the small, shriveled-up man. The panorama brought back the old time with all the vividness of a yesterday's occurrence. ,The two men were filled with a strange yet beut'ful enthusiasm". "Strange," said the tall, raw-boned man, "we fought each other like devils that day, and we fought to kill. But the war's over now and we ain't soldiers any longer gimme your hand!" "With pleasure." saäd t?ie amall. Bhriveled-up man, and the two clasped hands. "What cnight be your name?" inquired the tall, raw-boned man. "I am Gen. B. M. Prentiss," sail the small, shriveled-up man. "The you say," exclaimed the tall, raw-boned man. "Yes," reaffirmed the small, shriveled-up man; "and who are you?" "I," replied the tall, ra A'-boned man, "I am Gen. John S. Marmaduke." How We Ilia Durlnic Hie War. At the outbreak of the war we had clothing of every description, bed and table linen, ami, indeed, dry goods of all kinds. In sufficient quantities to have served our family bountifully during the whole time; but mother, like a great many others, thought the struggle would last only 'a few months, or a year at most, and with this impression firmly implanted in her mind, she gave with a lavish hand, donaV ing many articles that we afterward sorely needed for ourselves. She had the carpets all taken up, cut in quarters, and hemmed, and the damask window curtains taken down, and these were made into coverlets. Ali our heavy worsted dresses were converted into overskirts; the linen f-heets, table cloths, towels, and napkins were all scraped into lint, and these, together with every blanket, shawl, and scarf that we possessed, we sent to the Confederate soldiers. In the course of time our supplies ran short; and then it was amusing and instructive, too, to see our attempts at making our own wearing apparel, which we had to do, from hats to shoes. Previous to the war the large ' cotton planters of the South manufactured nothing at home, everything required on their immense plantations, from the thousand-dollar piano and eight-hundred-dollar carriage to the pins and needles and thread, everything came direct from New Orleans, the great metropolis of tho South; consequently we girls, jus? fresh from a first-class boarding school, knew very little of the stern realities of life, and were novices, indeed, whin we first attempted the new role of manufacturers. But with us it was do or die, make or do without, and with this incentive to exertion we proved apt scholars, end were not long in achieving a degree of perfection in our different lines, surp: ising even to ourselves. In the manufacture of our hats we used palmetto. We gathered this while in the bud. when it was pure white, before it had expanded or turned green: These long, spear-like buds, which usually measured two feet in length, we carefully pulled apart, and then dried them in the shade. We then tore them into shreds about an eighth of an inch wide, which was done with a common pin or needle. Afterward we braided these shreds into a ilat plait half an inch wide, with a notched edge. When we had made a sufficient quantity for a hat, which was fifty or sixty yards, we clipped off every protruding end, then dampened the plait and honed it well with a moderately hot iron. The braid was then sewed together with a strong thread, and formed into a hat' of any desired shape. A Southern Lady. How "Tnole Jack'' Smoked a. C'itfnr with (be Demi (ienrrnl. Since the mustering out of our clear old commander many are the Incidents related by the old soldiers of his greatness of soul and kind consideration for the welfare and comfort of those placed under his command. The following was related to a knot of old veterans as they stood on the corner of our little village discussing with sad hearts the closing scenes in that cottage at Mount MacGregor. John J. Glasscock, first corporal of Company. D, Twenty-ninth Illinois, familiarly known by the boys as "Uncle Jack," was among the number. Lieutenant Quigley, who was acquainted with the circumstances, said: "You smoked a cigar with the general once, did you not?" "Yes. boys. Just after the surrender of Vicksburg, I was one of a detail sent to guard headquarters. As night approached the rain began to fall, and

as I was pacing my beat back and forth before a tent a very plain gentleman said. 'Sentry, come in out of ; the rain.' 'That is not my orders, sir.' '

'Very well,' was the reply; 'if you knew to whom you were talking it would not be neecsssry for me to repeat the order. I am General Grant, from whom you receive all your or ders; and I repeat, come in out of I the rain.' With this assurance I gladly obeyed, for I tell you, boys, it looked much more comfortable in the tent than than it felt out in the pattering rain. I shook myself, brought my gun to a trail, entered the tent and was soon seated in a chair placed at my disposal by the general's own kind hands, lie stepped into an adjoining apartment, brought out another chair, and sat down near me. Putting his hand into his pocket he drrw forth a cigar, handed it to me with 'Try a ci gar with me,' and for an Inur or more I I sat in the general's tent with my j gun across my lap, smoking and try- ! ing to answer the numerous questions he put to me relative to the war end my experience as a soldier. Soon the sergeant of the guard came around. and, finding my post vacant, began to j make inquiry, when the general stepped to the opening of the tent, called the sergeant . to him and instructed him to send every soldier to his quarters who could not be comfortably situated about his headquarters." With a voice all tremulous with age and emotion, the old veteran said: "Boys, this is how Uncle Jack smoked a cigar with the dead general." National Tribuiy?. Following Copy. One of the early graduates of West Point was Gen. Ethan Allen llitchcock. lie was Gen. Winfield Scott's inspector general in the Mexican War, and during his entire life kept a diary. In 1S4T, in the Mexican campaign, ha records what he terms "a funny scene that would require a Dickens or a Lever to describe it." "It is given in his diary, or "Fifty Years in Camp and Field." General Scott called for his letter book to show me a letter from himself to Commodore Connor. It had been copied by an interpreter, "Colonel" Edmonson. An error wa? discovered, and the general broke out: "Colonel Edmonson! Colonel Edmonson! Did you copy th!s?" "Yes, sir.' "My dear colonel, that is not right. That interlineation should be there," pointing with his finger, "and not there, don't you see? The sense requires it. I never wrote it so. It Is not sense. You make me write nonsense. You will kill me. I'll commit suicide if you don't follow me. "Follow me, no matter where I go, follow me. if it is out of a third-story window. I'll commit suicide if you don't. I pledge you ray honor I wMl. I ll not survive It. What? Send that nonsense to the government? "My dear colonel! Don't you attempt to correct me! And here again, over here, there should be a period and not a semicolon. The capital letter shows it. How could you make it a semicolon? Correct that on your life." "I'll correct it immediately!" exclaims the colonel. "And theie you've left a space at the beginning of the line. That shows a new sentence; but theie was none, it was all one sentence in the original. Never leave a space at the beginning of a line except when beginning a new sentence. "There! You've put a 'g' In Colonel Hardin's name. I'll bet a thousand, ten thousand dollars to cne farthing there was no 'g' in the original. I'll not survive it. . I'll die before I send such a copy to the government. What would be said of me? That I write nonsense, and don't know how to spell Colonel Hardin's name. Hardin, d i n. there's no g' in it, and never was. No matter how strange the spelling, follow me! Don't you attempt to correct my spelling!" This Is about a fourth part of what he said of the same sort; and what made it more funny. It was when time pressed; important orders were in progress to oppn the trenches. Army 31 u sic.
