None Too Tainted for Him.
"Would you refuse a tip from me if you
knew it was tainted money?” asked the
customer in the restaurant as he finished his
meal.
“No, sir,” replied the waiter; “I'd not
refuse it, sir, even if you had run it through
that piece of Camembert cheese, sir!’

“Just Laughed.”
Artist —Have you taken my picture to the
exhibition?
Porter —Yes, sir. It seemed to please the
gentlemen very much.

SCREAMED AT NIGHT.
Baby Scratched Until Face Was Raw
and Bleeding—Eczema Cured
by Cuticura.
"For over two years my little baby girl
suffered with a raw, itching and painful
eczema on her bead and face, the pain
causing her to scream day and night, and
my wife could get no rest. We tried sev
eral doctors, but without success. Unless
we kept her hands tied she would scratch
until her face was like raw beef. One cake
of Cuticura Soap and two boxes of Cuti
cura Ointment completely cured her,
healing her face without mark or blem
ish. (Signed) W. J. Morgan, Orchard
Town, New Lambton, New South Wales,

To Wash Black Stockings.
To prevent black stockings from as
suming a greenish hue, wash as follows:
Dissolve a liberal amount of Ivory Soap
in a gallon of water as hot as the hands
can bear. Wash through several suds
of this preparation; rinse through two
warm waters, adding to the last a table
spoonful of vinegar. Dry and press on
the wrong side with a cool iron.
