SAVED BABY LYON'S LIFE,
Awful Sight from That Dreadful Com
plaint, Infantile Eczema—Mother
Praises Cuticura Remedies.
“Our baby had that dreadful .com
plaint, infantile Eczema, which afflict
ed him for several months, commenc
ing at the top of his head, and at last
covering his whole body. His suffer
ings were untold and constant misery,
in fact, there was nothing we would
not have done to have given him re
lief. We finally procured a full set of
the Cuticura Remedies, and in about
three or four days he began to show a
brighter spirit and really laughed, for
the first time in a year. In about
ninety days he was fully recovered.
Praise for the Cuticura Remedies has
always been our greatest pleasure,
and there is nothing too good that we
could say in their favor, for they cer
tainly saved our baby's life, for he
was the most awful sight that I ever
beheld, prior to the treatment of the
Cuticura Remedies Mrs. Maebelle

The Caravan Cure.
One of the many “cures" favored by
fashionable people weary of London,
is the “caravan cure.” This simple
and enjoyable method of renewing
one's strength consists in traveling
about Britain in a cart, such as the
Gypsies have, and camping out at
night wherever a haven can be found.
Lord and Lady Arthur Grosvenor
have spent the summer journeying in
this fashion through Exmoor, a wild
and mountainous country, made
famous by the great, romance, Lorna
Boone. One night they encamped on
the farm of John Ridd, of the novel.
The difficulties in hill climbing have
been enormous, but the pleasure of
the trip has made it worth while.

CARE OF BLANKETS.
SPECIAL TREATMENT NECES
SARY FOR BEST RESULTS.
Done in the Right Way, No House
keeper Need Dread the Ap
proach of the Regular Day
for Washing.
As the immortal stump orator re
marked, “We have blankets in our
cwadles, blankets in our twibs, blan
kets in our four-posters,” and having
blankets so “prevalent,” it behooves
us to keep them clean.
Now, many otherwise excellent
housekeepers dread the annual blan
ket washing simply because they un
derstand little or nothing of the art
of blanket scouring, as the Scotch
call it.
They usually resort to one or the
other of the two very bad methods,
and either send the blankets to a pub
lic laundry, where they may be made
white and clean, but will certainly
shrink, or they have a washerwoman
in, who upsets the whole household,
washes the poor blankets very badly,
and leaves them hard to touch, very
grimy to behold. Rnd some sizes small
er than they ought to be.
Require individual vare.
Now, if one lives in the country,
where a garden, or field, or good dry
ing ground is close by an excellently
appointed laundry, a big annual orgie
of blanket washing may be advan
tageous, though “I hae mo doots”
about that.
To the ordinary housewife, who has
neither the space nor the appliances
nor the necessary number of servants,
it is a far wiser plan to send one blan
ket to the wash every week, or two
if the washing is a light one, and it
is always necessary only to wash one
at a time, otherwise blankets shrink.
They cannot be treated en masse
as linen or cotton things are, but
must be done speedily and thorough
ly, and dried on a fine hot day, out of
doors, but not in the hot sun.
Right Kind of Lather.
A warm soap lather must be pre
pared from soap jelly made the day
before, and a little ammonia, either
lump or liquid, must be added to this,
and the blanket allowed to soak for
about a quarter of an hour to extract
the grease. Then it must be kneaded
and squeezed until the dirt is all loos
ened, and, if necessary, put through
two, and even three, fresh lathers.
The next process is rinsing, which
must be done in warm water, and if
no soft water has been obtainable, a
little ammonia to each rinsing water
is a great advantage.
When rinsing is over it is impor
tant that folding should be even and
exact, and then the wringing through
a machine will act as mangling also.
Shaking well after rinsing, and then
pegging carefully to clothes lines in
the open air, and shaking occasionally
by two persons while drying, are the
final processes, except the “last and
final" stretch between two persons
after they are quite dry, in order to
keep them to their proper size.
Chicken Bcuchee.
Here is a recipe for one of the deli
cacies of the season. Roll out some
puff paste about a quarter of an inch
thick, cut out—by means of a round
paste cutter—as many rounds as are
required, place them in a baking sheet,
and mark the center of each round of
paste with a smaller cutter. Brush
over with beaten yolks of eggs, and
bake for 20 minutes in a fairly hot
oven. Remove the lids, scoop out
some of the soft part of each patty
and fill them with minced chicken
mixed with enough white sauce to
moisten the mixture. Replace the
lids, dish up, and garnish with fried
parsley. If this is done with care it is
not. difficult, and it. would be a strange
palate that did not find it delicious.
Household Helps.
If freshly cleaned files are rubbed
over with paraffin they will keep clean
for a long while.
A few drops of lemon juice added
to scrambled eggs while cooking will
improve them.
To remove fly specks from var
nished surfaces use equal parts of
water and skim milk warmed.
Discolored china baking dishes can
be made as clean as when new by rub
bing them with whiting.
Try sharpening the scissors by at
tempting to cut a large darning needle
for a few minutes.
Glass which has become dusty must
be thoroughly dusted off before it is
cleaned in any other way.
Common Sense Cold Cures.
Look out for the coming of colds.
Several common-sense dealings may
ward away the microbe. Bathe the
feet in hot water and drink a pint of
hot lemonade. Then sponge with salt
water and remain in a warm room.
Or, bathe the face in hot water every
five minutes for an hour. Or, sniff up
the nostrils hot salt water every three
hours. Or. inhale ammonia or men
thol. Or, take four hours’ active exer
cise in the open air. Sixthly, 24 hours
in bed is said to be able to break up
the severest cold.
Remove Stains from Enameled Pans.
Fill with water and a tablespoonful
of powdered borax and let it boil well;
then scour with soap rubbed on a
coarse cloth, rinse thoroughly and dry.
Damp salt rubbed on the stains will
also remove them.
Remove Marking Ink.
Paint the mark with solution of
cyanide of potassium, applied with a
camel's hair br As soon as the
ink disappears linen should be
rinsed in cold water, and then washed
in the usual way.
Sausage as "Wedding Cake.”
A sausage four feet long and one
foot thick formed the wedding cake
at a Hanover butcher's wedding.
First Persian Parliament.
The members of the new Persian
parliament will be elected by the
agesvotes of all male Persians between
the ages of 30 and 70 w'ho are able to
read and write, are not in the service
of the state, and have not been con
victed of crime.

Artistic Marriage Certificates.
The smart wedding invitation or
announcement is engraved as simply
as possible nowadays, but if the bride
wants elaborate treatment of her
marriage certificate she can have it.
These may be done by hand .and beau
tifully illuminated on parchment or
Japanese vellum, and some brides are
having theirs framed and hung in the
boudoir.
A Good Record.
Out of all the external remedies on
the market we doubt if there is one
that has the record of that world
renowned porous plaster—Allcock’s.
It has now been in use for sixty years,
and still continues to be as popular as
ever in doing its great work of re
lieving our pains and aches. It is
the remedy we all need when suffer
ing from any ache or pain resulting
from taking cold or overstrain.
Allcock’s Plasters are sold by Drug
gists all over the world.
Successfully Paints on Metal.
Carl Lunde, a Norwegian artist, has
made himself famous by painting on
metal, an art even the Japanese have
failed in, great as they are as metal
workers. Lunde decorates ordinary
tin with characteristic designs in col
ors and nominates an ordinary tray
or plate that would otherwise he
cheaply japanned. The method is his
secret and only one of many clever
nesses he employs to render utility
artistic and decorative.
Beyond Expression.
G. W. Farlowe, East Florence. Ala.,
writes: “For nearly seven years I
was afflicted with a form of skin dis
ease which caused an almost unbear
able itching. I could neither work, rest
or sleep in peace. Nothing gave me per
manent relief until I tried Hunt's
Cure. One application relieved me;
one box cured me, and though a year
has passed, I have stayed cured. 1 am
grateful beyond expression.”
Hunt’s Cure is a guaranteed remedy j
for all itching diseases of the skin.
Price 50c.
Point Won by Flattery.
Gen. French, the English officer
who represented that country at the
recent French maneuvers, received
the following letter after his tri
umphant return from the Boer war:
"My Dear French: You are a great
British general. I want your auto
graph; but, whatever you do, don’t
let your secretary write it.”
Needless to say, the boy got the
autograph, and a signed photograph
of his hero to boot.
HAD TO USE A CANE.
Weakened Kidneys Made an Elwood,
lnd.f Man’s Back Give Out.
R. A. Pugh, transfer business, 2020
North B street, Elwood, liid., says:
“Kidney trouble kept
me laid up for a long
time, and when I
was able to be up I
had to use a cane.
I had terrible back
aches and pain in
the shoulders. The
kidney secretions
were dark colored.
After doctoring in
vain, I began using Doan’s Kidney
Pills. Three boxes cured me entirely,
and I am glad to recommend them.”

Artificial Silk the Latest.
Tr, Gothenburg, Sweden, or at ,:ome
place in its neighborhood, will soon
be built a large factory for the man
ufacture of artificial silk for export.
A company lias receilly been organiz
ed there with a capital not 10 be less j
ilian $100,800 and not to exceed $482,
400. with the purpose of building a
factory and exploiting an invention
made by Engineer R. W. Strehlenert,
of Bjursholm. Sweden, for the manu
facture of vegetable silk. Excluding ,
experiments, this industry is new in
Sweden, and it is claimed that the silk
manufactured from nitro-cellulose by
Mr. Strehlenert's method has just as
fine an appearance and is just as
strong or durable as natural silk, or
even, stronger. It is further stated
that the silk has been tested or tried
in Swedish or German cloth factories
and that very favorable reports have
been received about it.—Consular Re

From Afar.
Mrs. E. E. Smith, Santa Barbara,

me a bottle of Hunt's Lightning Oil.
It is certainly the best Rheumatic
Medicine we ever used, and if we re
main in California another year we
will take time by the forelock and

John Stuart Mill.
James Mill, his father, was a hard
man, a clever man, and a crank—a
hedonist capable of making himself
thoroughly disagreeable about the
greatest happiness of the greatest
number; a theorist who regarded his
clever son as a suitable object for ed
ucational experiments.
He would not semi him to school
because schools were the fortresses
of “prejudice,” and taught the wrong
things in the wrong way. He pro
vided him with nrt playmates, and al
lowed him no holidays, lest “the habit
of work should he broken."—Francis
dribble, in Fortnightly Review.

as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and
how conducive ^ to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they
enjov the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome
diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved,
net by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri
ous or objectionable nature, and if at anytime a remedial agent is required, to assist
nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure
and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has
come mto general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate
'of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use.
Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because
they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa
ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an
original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and
presented in an agreeable syrup in which the*wholesOme Californian blue figs are
used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence
we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent
medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication.
Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs
always has the full name of the ComDany—California Fig SyruD Co—plainly
printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size
only. If any dealer ofters any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having
printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get
the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have
a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children,
whenever a laxative remedy is required.
