To Clean Rubber.
A rubber coat can be nicely cleaned
by the use of automobile soap, a jel-
lylike substance of dark color, whicb
can be procured at any automobile
supply Btore or at a garage.
The soap can be used for other
garments also, as it does not injure
the finest finished material, but the
•Sect seems better on rubberized
goods. The first step In cleaning is
to make a strong lather. Clean the
coat thoroughly and then apply the
soap over a small portion of the gar-
ment Carefully wash off the soap
by sponging with clear water and pro-
ceed to next space to be cleaned. Dry
out of doors.
AWFUL ECZEMA ON FACE
Preeland, Md.—"Baby's eczema
started In little spots and would burst
and run all over his face and wher-
ever the water would touch his face,
It would make another sore. Pimples
would break out and make his face
•ore and Inflamed, and he was very
cross and fretful. It was awful. He
suffered tortures from it, and we had
to tie mittens on his hands to keep
him from scratching. A friend of mine
told me of the Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment and I went to a drug store and
bought them.
"When we would bathe his face with
the Cuticura Soap and apply the Cutl-
cura Ointment, he would be much bet-
ter. He would wake up In the nights
and cry with his face and we would
put on some of the Cuticura Ointment
and then he would rest all night They
have cured him completely of the
ecsema." (Signed) Mrs. Harry Wright^

COST on all tubjerU pertaining to the
auhjnct of building, for tils readers of this
paper. On account of hla wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufacturer, he

There is a wonderful difference in
this world between the house that is
simply a place to live In, with four
walls and a roof, and the house which
is a real home. The difference is not
bo much in the house itself as In the
combined effect or union of the house
with its surroundings. There are cer-
tain styles of architecture that seem
to blend uaturally with shrubs, vines
and flowers. With such a house any
work done along the lines of amateur
landscape gardening seems worth
while, for every nook and cor-
ner of the yard, every flowering shrub
and every tree throwing out its wide
branches seems to add to the cozy,
home-like appearance of the place.
This is one of the surest tests we
have of excellence in architectural
design. Some houses never seem to
be at ease, or in accord with the site
on which they are built. Every ef-
fort to Improve and beautify the
grounds serves only to bring out the
more strongly the plain awkwardness
of the bouse itself, which is of neces-
sity the very heart and center of the
whole picture. A well-designed resi-
dence, on the other hand, I care not
whether it is a little four-room cot-
tage costing but a few hundred dol-
lars or a splendid residence costing
many thousands, seems to harmonize
and blend with its natural surround-
ings.
In this connection it may be re-
marked that the use of cement plaster
has done perhapB more to bring about
this desired union between the house
and grounds than any other building
material. The sand, cement and grav-
el from which the plaster is made be-
ing from earth products seem natural-
ly to harmonize with lawns and shrub-
bery. What could be more restful and
inviting than the cool, silver gray, the
natural cement color, contrasting with
the green of a well-kept lawn and
suburban building, where amateur
landscape gardening of a modest na-
ture can be had. It is a cement plas-
ter. story-and a half house with green
shingled roof and green trimmings
around doors and windows and in the
; gables. Its entire width is only 26
feet 6 Inches, so If placed well back
on a fifty-foot lot a good space would
be left on each side for shrubs and
flowers, and more important than
these things of mere beauty, plenty of
i.ght and air would reach the rooms
having the side exposure. ,
The arrangement of this house Is
along the most modern lines. Prom

trance Is had directly Into the large,
airy living room, 14 by 14-6, and hav-
ing In addltlSh a very cozy fireplace
nook at one end. The dining-room Is
reached through a five-foot cased open-
ing. This room Is 11 by 18 feet in Blze
and is very well lighted. French win-
dows at one end open onto a terrace
where the meals could be served In
hot weather. The kitchen is of con-
gleaming out from behind the shading
trees!
Such a house will need no very
large amount of shrubbery decoration.
The mistake Is too often made of
doing too much planting about a
bouse, completely hiding its own
beautlea with dense hedges and trees
planted so close that their shade com-
pletely shuts out the sunlight, keep-
ing the house damp and cold. It is
not only bad for the house Itself, but
It is bad landscape gardening. A

On the second floor there are three
bedrooms, each having two good Sized
clothes closets under the slanting
roof. The bathroom Is also on this
floor and Is conveniently located. Tha
cost of this attractive little residence
is estimated at $3,000, using first qual-
ity materials witl red oak floor*

From Bad to Worse.
Mr. I. W. Grey, the author of "Seek-
ing Fortune In America," tells of a
tourist who asked a Florida guide to
show him a pool where he could go
swimming.
The guide led him to a bayou, but
the man disliked the looks of the
place, on account of the numerous
water-snakes, although he was assured
that they Were harmless.
He refused to go In, and the na-
tive then took him to a pool where
there was not a snake to be seea.
Here the tourist was satisfied, and
plunged In for his swim.
When he came out he asked the
guide If he could account for the fact
that there was no snakes in this pool,
when there were so many In the oth-
er. "How come there ain't no snakes
in hyar? Why, the 'gaters keeps 'em
et up!" the guide replied.—Youth'*

HOW TO WHITEN THE THROAT MUST BE HAND EMBROIDERED
Lemon Juice or a Ripe Tomato Will
Remove Any Discolorationa—
Alcohol to Harden.
Shapeliness is not all that is neces-
<ary to the making of a throat beauti-
ful. The texture of the skin must be
fine and soft white and unblemished.
Cleanliness Is the first essential. A
good thorough scrubbing with a not too
loft bruBh, hot water and soap, once or
twice a week, will do no harm, the rest
Dt the time using the ordinary cloth,
fcpply lemon juice or a ripe tomato to
iny discolorations that may appear,
ind unless the poreB are enlarged,
■se cold cream freely.
Alcohol will harden the flesh. As
for the various bleaches, there are
lome that are harmless, except insofar
is they invariably are drying, which
iltimately leaves the skin harsh and
Jrash. Here Is one that can easily be
nade at home, but, like the others, it
is drying, so be sure to counteract this
jffect by applying cold cream after
ising it. Mix half an ounce of perox-
ide of hydrogen, six ounces of witch-
iazel and half an ounce of lactic acid,
ipply this with a soft cloth.

The Proper Thing for Both White and
Colored Linen Parasols—Wide
Variety of Deaigna.
White and colored linen parasoli
show hand embroidery. They are
mounted with ivory or bone handles
and tips or with light natural or pol-
ished wood handles and brass-pointed
tips. Some of them are finished about
the edge with fringe, some with a plain
hem and some with an embroidered
scallop. A wide variety of designs ia
shown in embroidered parasols. Satin
stitch, eyelet work and outlining ara
used In combination to produce both
ornate and simple effects. Almost all
parasols are made with eight panels,
and half a dozen skeins of cotton are
needed for embroidering eacfi panel
with a design of moderate size; fiva
or six dozen skeins, therefore, would
be sufficient for any parasol. The big
department stores make up the em-
broidered panels into parasols and sell
sticks and frames.
FLOWERS THAT MATCH FROCK
One of the Prettiest Fancies of Many
8easons Is the Adornment
Thus Effected.
What a real pleasure women missed
when they were too prim to tuck a
bunch of flowers into their frocks, or
too fearful lest the stalks should stain
their pretty ralmenL
Nowadays flowers are the finishing
touch of every toilette, and some wom-
en give orders to their florists or their
gardeners for a bouquet twice or thrice
a day to match the gownB they intend
to wear.
In the evening It Is usual to wear a
single and very exquisite blossom, the
work of human hands. A gianfr rose, a
mammoth poppy, an orchid—all are
popular. Strange fantasies in mater-
ial are employed; here a lace flower
tipped with fur, and there one made of
hand painted moussellne, a marvelous
copy of nature's own handiwork-
Wardrobe Box.
A space saver is the wardrobe box
which fits under the bed. This box
is suspended from two metal arms, or
bars, which are affixed to the bed.
This makes It possible to draw the
box In and out without trouble. The
box doeB not touch the floor, so
there Is no possibility of dust accumu-
lating under It, and the bed, with the
box In position, may be moved at wilL
The boxes, which are provided with
hinged covers, come In different slsee
and are designed tor different pur-
poses.
Crepe Waists.
A college girl who wore cotton crepe
waists to save her laundry bills, had
difficulty in rendering them wearable
at first, as they were too limp If set
starched at all and, If starched, wring-
ing them made the starch uneven,
says the Modern Prlscllla. She ex*
perlmented until she found that by
washing them in thin starch and hang-
, ing them np to drain on a coat hsng

MOVEMENT THAT WAS FATAL
Sitter at a Loss to Understand Why
Temporary Absence Should Have
Spoiled the Plate.
Chairman Underwood of the ways
and means committee was talking, at
a luncheon in Washington, about tar-
iff revision.
"We must obey the country's man-
date," he said. "If we don't, our tariff
revision will be disastrous. We'll fail
as lamentably as the sitter for the wet-
plate photograph.
"When photography first began, you
know, they used wet plates, and a
sitter required eight or nine minutes.
Well, a man once went to be taken,
and the photographer pift in his wet
plate, demanding perfect immobility,
and took off the cap.
"During the long exposure, the pho-
tographer left the room a moment. On
his return everything seemed to be
going all right, but when the exposure
ended, and he rushed to his closet
to develop the wet plate, there was
nothing on it but a biur.
"Very much disgusted, he showed
the blur to the sitter.
" 'You must havo moved,' he said.
"The sitter looked at the spoiled
plate and laughed In amazement.
"'Well, I declare!' he said. 'Who'd
have thought that Just running over
to the window for a minute to Bee a
drunken man would have done all
that? I sat right down again.'"
MORE THAN EVER
Increased Capacity for Mental Labor
Since Leaving Off Coffee.
Many former coffee drinkers who
have mental work to perform, day aft-
er day, have found a better capacity
and greater endurance by using Post-
um instead of coffee. An Ills. Woman
writes:
"I bad drank coffee for about twenty
years, and Anally had what the doctor
called 'coffee t\eart.' I was nervous
and extremely despondent; had little
mental or physical strength left, bad
kidney trouble and constipation.
"The first noticeable benefit derived
from the change from coffee to Postum
was the natural action of the kidneys
and bowels. In two weeks my heart
action was greatly improved and my
nerves steady.
"Then I became less despondent, and
the desire to be active again showed
proof of renewed physical and mental
strength.
"I am steadily gaining in physical
strength and brain power. I formerly
did mental work and bad to give it up
on account of coffee, but since UBing
Postum I am doing hard mental labor
with less fatigue than ever before."
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Postum now comes in new concen-
trated form called Instant Postum. It
is regular Postum, so processed at the
factory that only the soluble portions
are retained.
A. spoonful of Instant Postum with
hot water, and sugar and cream to
taste, produce Instantly a delicious
beverage.
