is not mere cold cream. It is totally unlike 
any other cream you have ever used. 
And it produces wonderful results. It is a skin 
food—cooling, healing, nourishing. 
It prevents chapping and chafing; will smooth out 
wrinkles and crow’s feet; and relieve all rough and dis¬ 
agreeable conditions of the skin—producing a clear, 
beautiful and healthy complexion. Creme Tacoma 
is pure and antiseptic and will not promote the growth 
of hair. 
We want you to know the wonderful value of 
Creme Tacoma by actual test, and if you will 
write us we will send you a trial jar free.

have at least one-half woods earth or 
leaf mold, with a good sprinkling of sand 
mixed in and no manure. Have at least 
two inches of charcoal or broken crock 
in the bottom of the pot, with a little 
moss or fibre to keep the soil from wash¬ 
ing out. 
“This gives perfect drainage, which 
is essential. Do not allow it to dry 
out, but water freely. The pot can 
be raised slightly by putting something 
in the bottom of jardiniere or saucer, 
thereby keeping the vent in bottom of 
pot open, allowing surplus water to run 
off freely, though I doubt if standing in 
water would do harm. That, however, 
is a theory. A north or east window is 
best. I give what morning sun they can 
get, and fresh air often. This is another 
essential, but avoid drafts. A dish of 
water on the stove or heater gives a little 
moisture, which they need, and I have 
found a low stand near the floor works 
admirably, giving them the coolest, 
purest air in the room, and the chance 
to ‘look up’ toward the light, as they 
do naturally in their native or wild state, 
but not so low as to preclude a good, 
strong light, and a morning kiss from the 
sun .” — Farm and Horne. 
ALGERIAN MOSQUES 
the more than one hundred 
mosques which formerly existed in 
the city of Algiers, only five now remain. 
The most interesting of these are 
Djamaa el-Kebir, the grand mosque, in 
Rue de la Marine, Djamaa el-Djedid, 
or the Fisher Place mosque, also in the 
Rue de la Marine, and the enchanting 
little mosque of Djamaa Sidi Rhaman, 
overlooking the garden of Marengo, and 
taking its name from the marabout, or 
Mahometan priest of most venerated 
memory, Sidi Abd-el-Rhaman, who died 
in 1471 and is interred here within an in¬ 
ner sacred chapel or khouba, surrounded 
by several pachas and deys. Two dis¬ 
tinct and zealous sects, the Maleki rite 
and the Hanefi rite, worship respectively 
at the Grand mosque and the Fisher 
Place mosque; while at the Sidi mosque 
all are on common ground; it is the 
shrine of the more aristocratic Moslems, 
and on certain days of the week it is 
thronged with men and women, the 
latter, from an old and lax custom, pre¬ 
dominating. Indeed, it is at this little 
mosque, if reverence is assumed and 
discretion exercised, that one will secure
