thing oue of the common In the coal

girls are to be taught not only the
comparatively simple rules of heat reg

more difficult art of laying and con

schools are lacking la provision for
this sort of training; and. In conse
quence, a student who has done suc
cessful work In the kitchen-laboratory
may find herself helpless and luckless
before the home cook stove.
That the Jefferson High School girls,
who are privileged to work In this
down-to-date kitchen. are turning
their Instruction to practical account
Is shown by a "bread contest." held
last week as a part of the term's final
examinations. Each student was re
quired to bring for Inspection a loaf
of bread, made at home, without ad
vice or assistance from anyone, and a
remarkably good array of "wholesome
handsome loaves" was the result.
A score-card was used in Judging
this bread, points being assigned for
flavor, lightness, texture, moisture,
color of crust and crumb, size, shape
and so forth. Many of the competitors
succeeded in getting 90 per cent and
even higher, some of the bread shown
being not far from perfect, of its kind,
although the work of young and com
paratively inexperienced school-girls.
With the opening of the new term
next week, there will be, for the first
time In the Jefferson school, a class of
second-term domestic science - girls,
who. In addition to the regular class
work, will be required to serve meals
both in school to select groups of
"paying guests," and in their homes.
A convenient little dining room is pro
vlded for these--"test meals, and
simple outfit for serving has just been
selected.
"Ten-cent Lunches" have for some
time past been a feature in the other

Each second-term student gives at
least one "test dinner" at home, for
which she is required to da the mar
keting, cooking, serving and last but
not least, cleaning up. The following
letters were received recently by the
head of the domestic science depart
ment. They give interesting reports of
these schoolgirl efforts In the home:
"I am pleased to say we enjoyed L.'s
dinner, and- were surprised to know
how reasonably it could be served. L.

of the soup; otherwise the dinner was
all that could be desired. I feel quite
proud of the progress she has mado

for which I owe you sincere thanks.

"Z. gave her dinner last Tuesday
evening. It was a success in every
way. The table was beautifully set
and decorated. The soup, roast, cake
and pudding were specially good. The
Parkerhouse rolls were a little coarse,
and not a good shape, but the dinner,
taken as a whole, was very, fine.

''Complying . with the request of R.

dinner prepared and served by her last
Saturday. The soup tomato was cur
dled, which detracted from the appear
ance, but was of good flavor. The veal
cutlets were perfectly fried and the
shrimp salad excellent. The Jelly pre
pared with dates and nuts and served
with whipped cream was perfection. In

"The dinner given by Miss S. was
very nice and I am well pleased with
the ability she has displayed in her
cooking. The cream of Lima bean soup
I would consider excellent, also the
croutons were very neat size and of
suitable color. The roast, as well as
the brown gravy, could have been
slightly improved in the seasoning. On
the remainder, of the menu I haven't

He glanced over the pages, groaning as
he happened on such phrases as "incom

the author.
"Think of it! I think It's an awful

tors Said It Could Not Be Cured.
A Set of the Cuticura Remedies Suc

"Some time co I was taken with eczema,
from the top of my head to my waist. It
began with scales on my body. I suffered
untold itching and burning, and could not
deep. I was greatly disfigured with scales
and crusta. My ears looked as if they had
been mest cut off with a razor, and my neck
was perfectly raw. I suffered untold agony
and pain. I tried two doctors who said 1 '
had eczema in its fullest stage, and that it
could not be cured. I then tried other rem
edies to no avail. At last, I tried a set ol
the genuine Cuticura Remedies, which cured
me. Cuticura Remedies cured me of eczema
when all else had failed, therefore I cannot
praise them too highly.
"I suffered with eczema about ten months,
but am now entirely cured, an I believe
Cuticura Remedies are the best skin cure
there is." (Signed) Miss Mattie J. Shaffer,
R. F. D. 1, Box 8, Dancy, Miss., Oct. 27, 1910.
"I had suffered from eczema about four
years when boils began to break out on
different parts of my body. It started with
a fine red rash. My back was affected first,
when it also spread over my face. The Itching
was almost unbearable at times. I tried
different soaps and salves, but nothing seemed
to help me until I began to use the Cuticura
Boap and Ointment. One box of them cured
me entirely. I recommended them to my
lister for her baby who was troubled with
tooth eczema, and they completely cured
her baby." (Signed) Mrs. F. L. Marberger,
