BOY'S TERRIBLE ECZEMA.
Mouth and Eyes Covered with Crust#
—Hands Pinned Down—Miracu-
lous Cure by Cuticura.
"When my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend-
ed so quickly over the whole body
that we at once called In the doctor.
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and In our
despair we went to a third one. Mat-
ters became so bad that he had regu-
lar holes in his cheeks, large enough
to put a finger Into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as
a finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and sup-
purate, as did also his eyes. Hands,
arms, chest and back, in short the
whole body was covered over and.
over. We had no rest by day or night.
Whenever he was laid In his bed, we
had to pin his hands down; otherwise-
he would scratch his face and make
an open sore. I think his face must
have Itched most fearfully.
"We finally thought nothing could
help, and 1 had made up my mind to
send my wife with the child to Eu-
rope, hoping that the sea air might
cure him, otherwise he was to be put
under good medical care there. But,
Lord be blessed, matters came differ-
ently, and we soon saw a miracle. A
friend of ours spoke about Cuticura.
We made a trial with Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent, and within
ten days or two weeks we noticed a
decided improvement. Just as quickly
as the sickness had appeared it also
began to disappear, and within ten
weeks the child was absolutely well,
and his skin was smooth and white
as never before. F. Hohrath, Presi-

In the Middle of the Summer the Car*'
ful Woman Takes Account
of Stock.
There are few women who can pos-
sibly tide over the whole summer
with the clothes they had made in
May, observes Anno Rlttenhouse.
Sun and soap are two very damag-
ing causes of the golng-to-pieces of
the clothes we wear between March
and October. While blouses disin-
tegrate rapidly under the pressure of
the washboard and the sharp point
of the iron; most colors fade from
cloth after being worn In the sun after
two months; white skirts begin to
show raveling threads at the eige
and from constant pulling and press-
ing the plaits and the gathers get out
of gear.
Colored straw hats fade, as well as
the roses and ribbon on them. Even
tan shoes get steadily darker while
the stockings bought to match them
grow rapidly lighter. So it Is that
even the most careful woman finds
herself in the middle of the warm
months looking far more disheveled
and unneat than she cares to own.
Then should come a week of mend-
ing, altering and replacing.
Whether or not women have any
system of renewing their clothes at
this time of the year, no woman can
afford not to have a general overhaul-
ing of every garment she wears, un-
der-Jinen, hats and clothes.
It is strange how upon close In-
spection we find our clothes not all
we thought them to be in neatness
and freshness.
Summer clothes are certainly per-
ishable ones and unless we have a
constant criticism of them from the
outside we are apt to let all the little
details slip, and then gasp with as-
tonishment when we really see the
condition of things.
A few good days of ripping and
mending, of putting on new belts and
renewing old collars, of replacing but-
tons and cutting off edges will do
wonders toward giving us a fresh-
ened wardrobe for the rest of these
days.
DAZED WITH PAIN.
The Sufferings of a Citizen of Olympia,
Wash.
L. S. Gorham, of 516 East 4th St.,
Olympia, Wash., says: "Six years ago
I got wet and took cold, and was soon
flat in bed, suffering
tortures with my
back. Every move-
ment caused an ago-
nizing pain, and the
persistency of it ex-
hausted me, so that
for a time I was
dazed and stupid.
On the advice of a
friend I began us-
ing Doan's Kidney
Pills, and soon no-
ticed a change for the better. The
kidney secretions had been disordered
and irregular, and contained a heavy
sediment, but in a week's time the
urine was clear and natural again and
the passages regular. Gradually the
aching and soreness left my back and
then the lameness. I used six boxes
to make Bure of a cure, and the trou-
ble has never returned."

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, It is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a pnst" of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear-
in- quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great-
er strength than other makes.
Will Widen Kiel Canal.
The ever-increasing dimensions of
war vessels has led the German gov-
ernment to conclude to widen the Kiel
canal from 60 to 130 feet, and the
width at the surface from 130 feet
to 350 feet. The proposed Improve-
ments. it is estimated, will cost near
ly $50,000,000.

POLKA-DOTS IN VOGUE.
They Will Come Well to the Front in
Spite of Checks and Plaids
and Stripes.
Ever since last March polka dots
have been struggling for recognition,
in spite of the almost autocratic rule
of checks and broken plaids, and of
the determined advance of stripes.
This summer they have succeeded.
All sorts of polka dots are worn,
from the embroidered muslins and
linens down to the least expensive
batiste, and all sizes as well, from
the big, strikingly effective ones to
infinitesimal dots which are almost
too small to be seen, and which,
when set close together, lighten a
dark color without showing, to a
casual glance, how they do it.
Single polka dots are the rule, but
some unusual effects got by combin-
ing several are seen, we are assured
by a writer in the Chicago Record-
Herald. One stunning silk, for in-
j stance, in black and white, with its
white ground literally covered with
big and little polka dots, overlapping
! and with the tiniest of all tucked in
I to fill up corners. All the design was
printed in a sort of shadowy black,
which kept it from being startling.
Another attractive dress was of dot-
ted Swiss, each of the big black dots
which made its style accompanied by
two wee ones set just below It.
An unusual version of the skeleton
dress, which is one of the most at-
tractive and at the same time useful
styles of the seasor., was of blue, in
that strong yet dull shade like the
blue of a Chinese mandhrln's coat.
The blouse worn with it was white,
! with big polka dots of blue—the same
! pretty shade that characterized the
I dress. Yet it was. sheer and fluffy
enough to "be a real blouse," In-
stead of reverting to a shirt waist
type, which would have utterly spoiled
the dreaa

CAUSE OF RHEUMATISM
An eminent physician says—that rheumatism is the direct result of improper
eating and may be absolutely cured by leaving out your dietary animal food'l
of all kinds and living on cereals, fruits, nuts and vegetables. A diet consisting
of milk and cereal foods will cure the most acute form of Rheumatism, wbilo
those who live mainly on animal foods, cannot escape it.
WHEAT FLAKE CELERY
Is rich in potassium and sodium which are the essentials of the diet of persons
with Rheumatic dispositions. The whole wheat berry being used, the food be-
comes a regulator of the bowels, while the celery acts as a nerve tonic.
Palatable-Nutritious-Easy of Digestion and to Eat
Can be served hot. Put In a hot oven for a few minutes; or cook In boiling milk to a mush.
