Good Liquid Dentrifice
A good liquid dentrflce te made by
dissolving one ounce of powdered cas
tile soap in one pint of water, and
then adding three drams of powdered
borax, five drops of oil of nutmeg,
and two ounces of honey water. If
gums are spongy, an excellent tooth
powder is made by combining one
ounce each of cinnamon and bicar
bonate of soda and two drops of oil
of cinnamon. This !s also a good
tooth powder for general use.
How to Whiterj the Teeth
At times, in spite of all one's efforts
there is an increase of tartar on the
teeth, making them look yellowish
instead of polished and pearly; and
the best of tooth powders seems then
to lose its efficacy. To remedy this,
dip an orange-wood stick into fine
wood ashes, and rub the teeth both
on the inner and outer surfaces, when
the tartar will disappear as though
by magic. The operation should not
be repeated too frequently, as it is
apt to be hard on the gums.
To Prevent Loose Teeth
Tannic acid, two drams, tincture of
iodine, one and a quarter drams;
iodide of potassium, fifteen grains;
tincture of myrrh, one and a quarter
drams; rose water, to make one pint.
Mix one teaspoonful with two table
spoonfuls of warm water, and use as
a mouth-wash night and morning.
Why They Lost Their Homes
The daughters thought it beneath
them to work for a living, but were
bound to dress well.
They drew their money out of the
savings bank to put into some "wild
cat" scheme, and lost it
They did not do business in a busi
ness way because they were dealing
with relatives or friends. .
They did not know that giving full
power of attorney to an agent or law
yer put their property at his mercy.
They put off payments on everything
possible because it would be so much
easier to pay tomorrow than today.
They signed important papers with
out reading them or Knowing their
contents, just because they were asked
to do so.
The extravagance of children who
had not been trained to economize or
to take care of their pennies swamped
the home.
"Through lack of honest ambition
and a disposition to interpret too lit
erally the text, "Take no thought for
the morrow."
The mania to make an appearance
beyond their means caused them to
mortgage their property and ended in
bankruptcy.
They feared that the people with
whom they had dealings would think
them suspicious if they asked them
for a receipt' for money.
When the shoe began to pinch, they
"really did not see where they could
retrench." Habit had made luxuries
seem necessaries.
They ran accounts at the stores in
stead of paying cash, did not realize
how rapidly bills were running up
and never knew how they stood.
RECIPES
Lemon Toast
' Beat yolks of six eggs well, add three
cups of sweet milk; into .this dip
slices of bread and fry brown in hot
butter; then pour over them this
sauce: Beat the whites of the six
eggs to a froth, adding a large cupful
of sugar, and the juice of two lemons;
beat well, and add two cups of boil
ing water.
Fruit Butters
When tired of the various evaporat
ed fruits, which so many use in the
winter, when they are srmpiy stewed,
try putting them through a fine wire
seive and making butter or - marma
lade, adding any spices or flavoring
liked. Prepared thus the children like
it on their sandwiches for the school
lunch. Peach and apricot butter are
nice without the addition of any flav
oring, but either spices or lemon juice
and rind improve dried apple butter.
Cracker Jack and Popcorn Balls
Melt a cup each of granulated sugar
and molasses with a half cup water
and boil until it threads or hardens
in cold water. Pour it hot over a pan
of nicely popped corn, quickly flatten
it out on the bread board, pass the
rolling pin over it firmly, and cut
into the desired shapes with a knife.
To make popcorn balls, after pouring
the hot syrpu over, press with the
hands into balls. A little butter on
the hands will help to prevent stick
' HINTS TO HOUSEKEEPERS
Carpets and rugs can be thoroughly
cleaned by being hung over a clothes
line and having the garden hose turned
upon them. This will do no harm to
any carpet. Dry in a shady place.
Dollar Package
One housewife just home from Paris
has found an excellent way of boiling
eggs. She places a napkin ring in a
saucepan partly full of hot water and
sets the egg small end up in the ring,
She then punches a hole in the top of
the egg and lets the water boil around
it. The gas in the egg escapes while
the egg is cooking, which makes it
much better in flavor.
One sometimes wonders why the gas
burns unevenly very low at one side
and with a long boot at the other. Ex
amine the burner and you will find
particles of dust in it. Run a bit
of cardboard through the tip and it
will burn much more evenly. -
A French housewife does not add
flour fo her gravy wn'ch she prepares
from ihe savory drippings of roast
meat. The jellylike paticles that float
in the beef drippings should not be
strained off with the rest of the sedi
ment, as they are both appetizing and
nutritious.
Mix equal parts of hydrochlorate
of cocaine, powdered opium, and men
thol, with just sufficient glycerine and
gum arabic to form a stiff paste. A
piece the size of a pin's head to be
placed in the tooth-hollow, and kept
in position with cotton-wool is very
good for toothache.
