gum arable and one-half pint of boil
ing water; pour the water on the
gum, stir it occasionally until all is
dissolved, strain through muslin and
bottle for use; for use, one teaspoon
ful of the solution to one-half "pint
of cold water. Linen or heavy lawn
will require more.
Health Hints
Pork requires much more time for
digestion than other meats, and it
is claimed that this is caused by the
Jrean, or meat part being entirely sur
rounded by the fat, which prevents
the digestive juices from readily
reaching it. In the form of bacon, it
is said to be less difllcult of diges
tion, as the salting and smoking
make the fat granular. Pork con
tains very little proteid, with more
fat than the stomach can take care
of, and it is not so nutritious as beef.
Pork eaters are generally pale and
easily succumb to disease. Pork is
not considered wholesome in warm
weather, but if eaten at any time, it
should bo well cooked. In choosing
pork, if kernels are found in tho fat,
do not touch it. A great many peo
ple would be much better off if they
would reject pork in any form.
Avoid over-clothing tho .body.
Many people smother themselves with
wooden clothing so heavy as tb cause
the skin to perspire. Too much bed
clothing is also a source of cold
catching. . Try to have tho beat come
from within, rather than from with
out. Plenty of fresh air, exercise
and nourishing food is better than
bundling with clothing.
, Toothache is often a symptom of
some stomach" trouble, and if the
stomach is righted, tho tooth will
cease to pain. Hot pillows, as salc,
or sand, will often relieve a tooth
ache. If the tooth is decayed, it
should be attended to by a dentist.
Often diseased gums cause tooth-
' ache, when the teeth are all right.
Salt meat of any-kind should not
be given to the little tots. Fish,
poultry, lamb, mutton, are all easily
digested and suitable. Children
should not bo taught to demand cake,
candy, jam, or other sweets, as all
these are bad for their stomachs.
For healing every-day scalds and
burns and other raw sores, cleanse
the sores with white castilo Soap
suds, letting the water flow over tho
surface, then dust with flour of sul
phur. Repeat this from one to sev
eral times a day until a scab forms,
and then bo careful not to get tho
scab knocked off.
Another remedy is slacked lime
and fresh lard. The lime should,
bo sifted through cheese cloth, to
remote all fine grains or grit, and
mixed with tho lard into an oint
ment. Spread on a cloth and lay
on the burn. As soon as tho lard
gets warm, the sore will begin to
hurt, and the plaster should bo re
moved, the ointment scraped off and
fresh ointment put on; or a new
plaster may bo made ready. Con
tinue this treatment as long as the
burn pains, then keep the plaster on
and it will heal the sore.
Another treatment is offered by
one who says it has been used sat
isfactorily in his family for eleven
years. Get a ten-cent box of axlo
grease, the golden grease, and use
as you would any other ointment.
A home remedy for rheumatism is
given by a reader who says it has
been tested in his family and found
good. Apple vinegar, the best, and
add to one gallon of the vinegar one
pound of red garden pepper and two
pounds of salt. When the strength
of the pepper is extracted, wet a
flannel cloth in the mixture and
wrap the affected part of the body
with the cloth as hot as can be
borne, and use good liver pills as
directed on package, eating laxative
foods and drinking plenty of hot wa
ter, as the excretory organs must be
kept in regular order to remove
waste" from system. Change the
cloth as needed to keep up the heat
until the pain subsides. S. C, Oklar
homa. (This might be too strong
of pepper, if the skin -is very sensi
tive, or tender, in which case, a lit
tle of the solution should be diluted.)

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See that Coffee was
- Doing the Mischief
A lady tells of a bad case of coffee
poisoning and tells it in a way so
simple "and straightforward that lit
erary skill could not improve it.
U'I had neuralgic headaches for
twelve years," she says, and suf
fered untold agony. When I first
began to have them I weighed 140
pounds, but they "brought me down
to 110. I went to many doctors and
they gave me only temporary relief.
So I suffered on, till one day a wom
an doctor told me to use Postum.
She said I looked like I was coffee
poisoned.
"So I began to drink Postum and
I gained 15 pounds in the first few
weeks and continued to gain, but
not so fast as at first. My headaches
began to leave me after I had used
Postum about two weeks long
enough to get tho coffee poison out
of ;my system;
"Since I began to use Postum I
can gladly say that I never know
what a neuralgic headache is like
any more, and it was nothing but
Postum that made me well. Before
I used Postum. I never went out
alone; I would get bewildered and
would not know which way to turn.
Now I go alone and my head is as
' clear as a bell. My brain and nerves
are stronger than they have been for
years."
Read the little book, "The Road
to Wellville," In pkgs. "There's a
Reason."
Ever read tho above letter? A new
one appears from time to time. They
aro genuine, true, and fall of human
Interest.
Home Helps
To prevent dust while sweeping a
sickToom, put a little ammonia In a
pail of warm water, and wring the
mop out of this water, then go all
over the carpet first to take up tho
dust; then a broom can be used to
gather up the coarser dirt without
raising a dust.
To prevent taking cold, protect tho
back between the shoulders, breathe
through the nostrils, and keep the
wrists well protected when in the
outer air. Many persons claim that
it is foolish to protect the weaker
and more sensitive parts of tho body,
but by the time they are forty years
old, they will pay forv their fool-hardiness
of careless exposure. If one
contracts a cold, treatment should
begin as soon as the chilliness is
noticed.
Keep your surroundings clean,
feed your mind, read some every day,
take an interest in what Is going on
about you, remember only the pleas
ant occurrences of the day, and you
will have better health.
White enameled bedsteads may be
restored at home; get a few cans of
white enamel and a suitable brush,
and follow the directions on tho can.
If you will have rubber heels put
on your shoes for general wear, you
will find you are less tired at the
close of the day than if you wear
the common heels. The rubber acts
as a cushion and relieves the ner
vous strain on the spine.
Oysters when raw, are as easily
digested as other raw meats, but
cooking Is necessary to, remove the
dangerous germs which are' found In
all flesh. It Is quite as National to
eat raw beef or pork as to, eat raw
oysters.
