' For yoj bef jtf the Golden Cafe. After earth's parting and earth'i pain, Never to part: Never again: A Wise Suggestion. The best thing that could happen to the average home is to gel 1 id of about half the stuff it contains. People keep buying new stuff, bringing it into the j house, shoving the old stuff aside, al-Jowing al-Jowing corners1 and cupboards, attic and J basement, to become congested with a , lot of old clutter that is of no to I any one, but forms a hiding place for j vcrniin and a breeding place for all ' ports of germs. Tf the right sort of a burglar could enter such a house, back up a two-horse two-horse wagon in front, and haul off a , t few was-onloads of this useless stuff, j ' thu people in the house would not be the losers, but the gainers. It is very easy to buy something and 1- bring it home, but it is r.ot quite so f r-asy to gtt rid of it afterward. So the. f ttuff-keeps accumulating. Bnxe? and ! half-filled bottles, chests stuffed full of ' half-worn clothing, old rags, shelves I :' piled up with miscellaneous matter f hardly lit to use and yet too good to i throw away, closets hung full of this j and that. If And ho it is from basement to attic, j " v.ads of worthless rubbish, piles of 3 I paltrv belongings, that attract dirt, j I that hold dirt, that vegetate dirt, 'and t . i finally degenerate and crumble away f f into the dirtiest kind of dirt. i What such homes need is a thorough j f Physic, a dra.-tie cathartic. If some I I ping of pillagers or horde of marauders f Mould onlv come and pull out, kick I j loos'o, tear down, all this superfluous I 1 trash, then all might go well for a time. , I But no puch relief will come. We must j- look in som other direction for help, j ! Tonstlpated homes ought to be. treated ; vin the same rational principles that we j j j o, ommend for A constipated person. A i f luiok purgative only palliates the cafe, i .If the constipating habits remain, the ! constipation will return. What is the j 1 vse of giving physic to a man who has ' t sluggish bowels? If he continues right .) along to eat too much or to eat im- , . ' proper food, and continues the other f ' X habits that have provoked the con&ti- ! I pation, hi? disease is sure 10 retur.i. j f Of course one f always tempted to think of prlystc." just aSVui'e is tempted I to go into a flutted-up home and kick Inbout two-thirds of the old junk out Jnto the street, but this, like physic, will not cure the compiair.t. Tli habit? of the l-.ome should guarci - against household constipation. The first move should be made by the wife, I 1,, whom the following advice is sub mitted: Call the junk man to your home tomorrow. to-morrow. Persuade your husband to t Flay at home with you all day. Go over the house from top to bottom. Take i awav all suerfluous stuff chairs. I bi:hP. boxes, bottles. papers, old ' f magazines, old clothing, worthless books, everything- that is not needed. Trim it down close. The mere you u-.-t rid of the better you will be off. Mak? clean every vacant place that is ".'ft by the absence of these things. Put or. a coat, of paint or varnish or whitewash. white-wash. Something or other to take the place of the confusion. Letters From Beauty Seekers.' (Maria Martineau in Chicago Tribune.)

I j Mrs. L.: 1 see that you advise perox- f id-' of hydrogen and cold cream for the I compi.-xion. Will' you kindly give me ihf proportions? You are mistaken.

J To j cu and to another reader who ' has written there is thi? advice: Try.-to Try.-to get into different habits of eating. The weight is greatly affected by the food one tikes into the .stomach and i the time of taking it. A piece of cake ! and a glass of milk taken at night will ! certainly feed the tissues during sleep, i Emaciated persons should always eat 1 ' at night, but not fat people.

Now, what would you j advise nie to do to keep it up? This is difficult to answer. Begin by cultivating tranquility of spirit. A" calm mind usually feeds the body. It keeps the nerves in good order. Then eat regularly and try to walk to and from your business. Go on. four meais ! a day, one taken late at night, and let j this last meal be hot apple pauce and I arahain or other crackers. This" was jthe prescription given by a physician to a working woman. For a Hard Corn. A glycerine poultice will soften and loosen the corn so much that it will easily come out. To apply, saturate a pieci of lint with glycerine, lay thi.-4 on the corn, tie a piece of oiled silk 'over, bandage to keep in place, and, if you apply at night, keep on till the morning. If you are troubled with corns, get your shoemaker, to stretch new shoes for you before wearing. A Cure For Asthma. Asthma sufferers need no longer leave home and business in order to be cured.

A most excellent, cough medicine is made by putting a heaping tablespoon-ful tablespoon-ful of flaxseed in a pint and a half of cold water. Heat slowly and boil for fifteen minutes. Stain; add the j juice of one large or two small lemons, lem-ons, and sweeten to tast?. A table-spoonful table-spoonful every hour or so will soon relieve a severe cough. If the lungs are sere and the breathing difficult, it is well to. apply the following ointment: oint-ment: Into a tablespoonful of fresh, soft lard work a teaspoonful of turpentine. Spread on a cloth, sprinkle it with ! salt and apply directly, to the lungs. covering with another cloth to protect i the clothing. This acts as quickly and is fully as effective as any of the high j E priced ointments sold in the drug stores j i for such purposes. Another good ointment: Soften a quantity of fresh lard and add an equal amount of spirits of camphor. Stir constantly, cooling the lard quickly, so that as it hardens the camphor will be thoroughly incorporated. Keep in a low. open-mouthed bottle or in a tin aalvc box. When needed for cold in the head, hoarseness, etc., rub the temples, nostrils, throat, palms of the hands and soles of the feet thoroughly, thorough-ly, heating it in. If necessary apply on a cloth to throat or lungs. What to Eat Next Sunday. Breakfast.

Few things are more difficult than ' to get a sick person to take nourishing nourish-ing food, and no task, as a rule, is worse managed. Amateur nurses may be successful in other matters, but they ' generally make a failure of the food . proposition, ; The nurse is usually to blame when the patient will not take enough food. She .will bring a hauge platerul of jelly or a big basinful of beef tea to j him, and be will reject it with disgust, dis-gust, because the sight of so much ' food is distasteful. If she brought a few spoonfuls at a time and served ' them daintily, he would te glad" to eat. j Give little food at a time, and give it often. That which is eaten wil- I lingly and with relish is far better j than double the amount swallowed with ' disgust. j It a time is fixed for the patient's ; meals, always be punctual. If kept waiting. mosV sick people lose their desire to eat, and will reject the food when it is brought to them. Be careful never to leave food in the sick room in the hope that the patient pa-tient may eat it presently. Miss Florence Flor-ence Nightingale, the world's most famous fa-mous nurse, says this will simply prevent pre-vent him from taking food at all. Never take a large quantity of anything any-thing at one time, thinking that because be-cause the patient had liked it before he will like it again. In nine cases out of ten a sick person's appetite is very capricious. His food, therefore, should be varied as much as possible. pos-sible. Don't rely too much on beef tea. It is a useful stimulant, but is not really real-ly nourishing, as most people suppose it to be. Be particularly . careful to serve eerything in the daintiest style. Glass Bhould be bright, silver burnished, napkins nap-kins Kly white and saucers free from slops. These little details will make all the' different in the patient's appetite. appe-tite. Always make sure that the patient is placed in a comfortable position to eat and drink, and be careful that no crumbs are left in the bed. 1 ! |
