I cannot refrain from writing to say

greatly. Last year I had a severe attack

in two weeks was cured. I gave a bottle

She came to me in four days to tell me
he was all right and moit thankful. I
had another attack last November and
was so bad that I could not rite from my
chair without assistance and could hardly
lace np my boots. I at once sent for
more Swamp-Root and after taking two

ECZEMA BROKE OUT ON BABY
"When my baby was two months
old, she had eczema and rash very
badly. I noticed that her face and
body broke out very suddenly, thick.
and red as a coal of fire. I did not
know what to do. The doctor ordered
castile soap and powders, but they
did no good. She would scratch, as
It itched, and she cried, and did not
sleep fSrmore than a week. One
day I saw in the paper the advertise
ment of the Cuticura Soap and Cutl-
cura Ointment, so I got them and
tried them at once. My baby's face
was as a cake of sores.
"When. I fljst used the Cuticura
Soap' and Cuticura 3Tntment, I could
see a difference. In color it was red

used the Cuticura Remedies (Soap

in two weeks she was quite well The
Cuticura Remedies healed her skin
perfectly, and her skin Is now pretty

use the Cuticura Soap today, and will
continue to, for it makes a lovely

Cuticura Remedies. They, are food
for all sores, and the Cuticura Soap
Is also good for shampooing the hair,

IMPORTANCE OF BATH SPRAY
Toilet Essential That May Only Be
Described as Absolutely
Indispensable. v
A strong spray that can be attached
to the faucet of the bath tub is indis
pensable. It 1b essential In shampoo
ing, as it gets out the soap quickly
and with little effort The force of a
spray Is a splendid tonic after a sham
poo, and gets the scalp In a glow that
prevents cold.
When one comes in tired, the hag
gard lines can be speedily rested and
the tensions loosened by spraying the
face and throat vigorously for five
minutes. This can be done without
disrobing, if a rubber sheet Is slipped
over the head. Use first warm water,
then cold, alternately, until the skin
Is in a glow.
The benefit of this treatment Is In
creased if a cleansing cream or skin
food is first rubbed in Ave minutes be
fore the hoi spray is applied".
A nerve specialist advises the use
of a bath spray daily to play upon the
length of the spine. The force Is di
rected up and down the spine rather
briskly for about five minutes, and Is
made especially strong at the waist
line, to relieve the pressure of corsets
and start the blood to circulating.
Use warm water first gradually ma
king it colder. This prevents shock
and sooths the nervous system.
The Ostrich Plume.
The newest trimmings in millinery
emphasizes the use of plumes. Such
plumes! The word conjures up an in
finite variety of styles of which our
mothers anS grandmothers knew noth
ing, and fair women to today can be
doubly grateful for the efforts of mil
liners. Garlands of plumes are used on
broad, low hats. Theyx are spotted
and flecked with color, and some are
made of layers of different shades,
giving a wonderfully Iridescent effect
On velvet turbans the use of a sin
gle plume attached at the front, and.
extending toward the back In a slant
ing line, is quite evident This line
for the plume Is used on large hats as
well. And speaking of the wide fiat
shapes leads us to the Introduction of
ostrich feathers to edge the brim. Two
successful Paris milliners have done
this with great effect
8prlng Wrap.
For spring a wrap of black char
mouse is a serviceable addition to a
modish wardrobe. It may be fashion
ed as simple as a tailored coat or elab
orated by broad band trimmings of
basket weave silk braid, heavy lace
and fancy buttons. The lining is usu
ally in a gay tone sometimes of plain
satin, again of satin foulard, In one of
the latest patterns. One such a coat
seen recently was of black charmeuse
and lined with emerald green. The
fastening was at one side, a large but
ton serving as a clasp and the revert
were faced with green satin, veiled in
black chiffon. The rag lan sleeve Is
the preferred type for coats on this
order.
Folding Tucks.
Even garments to be tucked by
hand should be folded by machine. Ad
just the trimmer to the right size, and
then adjust the stitch. Remove the
thread from the needle, and tuck just
aa if 'the thread were there. Then
la your hand sewing you can follow
the line of cef'.'a jrlrks." .

BLACK JEWELS FOR MOURNING
Really No Other Kind Is Permissible,
If One Would Do the Correct
Thing.
A woman In mourning often misses
it in her accessories. Her gowns and
hats may be quite correct, but she
wears jewelry or carries bags and oth
er belongings that are not suitable.
For the deepest black it Is good
form to wear nothing but black jew
elry. This means a new supply, as
none of the old Is permissible save
one's engagement ring. Some women
even dispense with that.
Black enamel onyx beads and cut
onyx dull jet In beads and carbochons
are most used. For cheaper pins there
is gun metal, which wears badly and
soon looks rusty, and the various com
positions made to represent enamel.
Women who can afford it have dog
collars, chains, pins and brooches of
onyx to match.- The first cost of this
Is offset by the lasting qualities.
Twisted, ropes of tiny jet beads
make good looking watch chains, to
which Is attached a watch of black en
amel links on the order of the antique
silver ones.
The simpler the lines of mourning
jewelry the better form it is. Little
more is worn than Is necessary, and
long bar pins are better liked than
fancy brooches, even for the front of
a collar.

KING PLAN OF VENTILATION
Arrangement by Which Foul Air of
Barn Is Removed by Shaft Illus
tration Shows Flues.
The King system of ventilation Is
an arrangement by which the foul air
of the barn is removed by a shaft
called a ventilator. It Is built upon
the same principles as a chimney to a
fireplace. The fresh air is admitted
to the barn by ducts made in the wall
that open on the outside near the base
of the wall and on the Inside near the
ceiling, says Hoard's Dairyman. This
construction prevents the warm air
at the ceiling from passing down and
out and permits the cold air to be
tempered more or less before It reach
es the animals. The ventilating flue
takes the coldest and foulest air from

barn. The Illustration shows the in
