She walked through all the rooms with the shovel thrust out before her while the beautiful blue and gold flames spurted upward. up-ward. The fumes were ( choking yet we felt secure In the knowledge knowl-edge that they killed the germs and purified the air. Then around our necks she put cords at the end . of which hung inch and a half square bags filled with asafetida. These we wore under our clothes to school. When we sat too near the huge potbellied pot-bellied stove the fetid odor of asafetida permeated the room. However, the heavy, long wool underwear kept us warm and we were seldom ill. We took doses of sulphur and molasses for colds and had our chests rubbed with goose grease, quinine, and kerosene. In spring when it was warm Mother let us take off our long underwear and asafetida bags. Then she gave us sassafras tea to thin and cleanse our blood, rhubarb rhu-barb for a spring tonic, and sponge mushrooms because we liked them. When school was out In May we stayed home most of the time so we were not exposed to tho many dreaded diseases. When in doubt as to our immunity, mother burned sulphur on the coal shovel.
