three and one-half ounces sweet al
mend oil, four fluid drains castor oil,
three and one-half fluid drams gly
cerine, three fluid drams of any pre
ferred extract for perfume, and
enough alcohol (grain) to make
eight ounces altogether. Mix this
thoroughly, and uso only a very little
at a time, massaging into the scalp
with tho finger tips at night. The
hair must ho perfectly clean and dry
when this is applied.
For tho prickly heat, put a tea

meats or rich gravies or pastries.

So many things causo the "red
nos6" which so distresses our women
and girls, that it is hard to say what
is host for individual cases. A tend
ency to gout, Indigestion, weakened
nerves, are all factors. Electricity
is tho best method, but the treat
ment should bo given under the di
rection of a physician.
Glycerlno should not bo used on
tho faco or hands unless combined
with equal parts of lemon juice and
double tho quantity of rose water.
Glycorlno alono Is very drying, and.
Ilko undiluted lemon juice, will burn
the skin. For whitening tho skin,
cut a lemon in halves, and rub the
faco, nock or arms with tho cut side
of tho fruit; lot dry on.
Hair can not bo kept beautiful if
you go about in tho hot sun bare
headed. Tho wind and heat will
bleach and dry it, and it will bo long
getting back to its natural oils and
softness. Bettor wear a covoring of
some kind.

Seagonable
This Is the time for gathering Un
the fragments of the early garden and
preparing for the later, summer
crops. While it will hardly pay the
city dweller to buy and can the fruits
and vegetables on the market that
have been shipped in and are more
or less stale, there are many odds
and ends left from the daily pro
visions that may well be put in stor
age for the later times. Where one
has a garden, either in town or out,
there is always a surplus that should
be taken care of. , The products of
reliable manufacturers are now so
cleanly and so healthfully preserved
that it is not expensive o depend up
on them, and they are usually far
more economical than the haphazard
work of the hurried housewife can
possibly be.
Pineapple Preserves. Peel the
pineapple, digging out the eyes, cut
into small pieces, or slice, cover well
with water and boil until the pieces
can be pierced" with a straw ; drain
the water from the fruit and to each
three cups of this water add two cups
of sugar and boil until it makes a
thick syrup; then add the pineapple
to the syrup and bbfl about
twenty minutes, according to the
amount of fruit. Seal in pint or
quart jars.
Gooseberry Preserves Gather the
berries as soon as they turn white,
or just as they are barely red-ripe;
to one quart of picked over berries,
take one quart of sugar; make a
syrup of the sugar and a very little
water as little as can be used; let
this dissolve then addthe .fruit and
boil slowly untilTh3&&e&Lbegin to
