Close to Nature
The method of treatment and
life at GREEN GABLES, the Dr.
Benj. F. Bailey Sanatorium, Lin
coln, Nebraska, are those of good
old Mother Nature. In their
work the management do not
attempt to controvert nature,
but enter into partnership with
her. They do not ride hobbies
or feel satisfied to dismiss their
guests as "well" when only able
to live the l""e of an ascetic or
extremist. They prepare them
to be strong of body cheery of
heart and active in all things.

one room to another. Take it up into
a dust pan, where you have previous
ly placed some tea leaves. This pre
vents the dust from scattering.
One of the best ways of cleaning
Brussels carpet is to take a pail of
water and add one-fourth pint or am
monia; then wring a string mop from
this as dry as possible and mop tne
carpet. The change is wonderful.
A shoe that is uncomfortable from
pinching may be eased by laying a
cloth wet in hot water across tne
place where it pinches, changing it
as it grows cooler a number of times.
This will cause the iMther to shape
itself to the foot.
Put the dish cloths in cold water
having a pinch of soda in It. Set on
the stove and let come to a boil, -then
hang in the sunshine to dry. Do this
often, for there is nothing so disgust
ing about the kitchen as a lot of
soiled dish cloths hanging about.
Rinsing milky glasses in cold wa
ter before washing them in warm pre;
vents them from . looking smeared.
The upper parts of worn-out boots
make excellent ironholders. The
leather needs only a thin covering so
that it does not soil the hand, which
it will protect from heat far better
than would an ironholder made in the
ordinary way.
To clean alabaster remove ordinary
dirt by washing with soap and water;
but if any part is stained wash it
with soap and water, cover it with
whiting and leave it for some hours
and rub the part where the stains
were.
If the moths have got into the car
pet it must be taken up, thoroughly
shaken and pressed with a fiatiron as
hot as it will bear without scorching.
Then liberally sprinkle the floor where
it is to lie with spirits of turpentine,
pouring it into any cracks there may
be between the boards.
To clean a copper kettle first rub it
with a cut lemon dipped in powdered
bath-brick. When all stains are re
moved wash it in warm', soapy water;
then dry, and polish it with powdered
bath-brick and a soft cloth. Powdered
bath-brick, mixed to a paste with oil
may be used instead of the lemon.
Pour a few drops of ammonia into
every greasy roasting pan or greasy
cooking dish after half filling with
warm water. A bottle of ammonia
should always be kept near the sink
for such uses. Never allow the pans
to stand and dry, for it doubles the
labor of washing, but pour in water
and use ammonia and the work is
half done.
A plumber says that stains on por
celain tubs, washstands and sinks are
caused by allowing the surface to be
injured. When new porcelain is as
smooth as a piece of window glass,
but if rubbed with sand soaps its sur
face becomes like a piece of ground
glass from which no cleansing agent
can take the stain. He recommended
common household ammonia for clean
ing.
When buying matting get three or
four yards extra for summer rugs. Cut
this extra piece into the desired
lengths and finish at the edges by
pulling out the straws to the depth of
about four inches and tying the
threads. These rugs protect the mat
ting as well as heavier ones, are eas
ily cleaned and best of all, there is
no fuzz and nap to wear off and make
frequent sweeping a necessity.
To renew a mirror keep for this
purpose a piece of sponge, a cloth and
silk handkerchief, all entirely free
from dirt, as the least grit will scratch
the fine surface of the glass. First
sponge it with a little spirits of wine,
or gin and water, to clean off all spots;
then dust over it powdered blue tired
in muslin, rub it lightly aud quickly
off with the cloth, and finish by nib
bing with the silk handkerchief. Be
careful not to rub the edges of the
frame.
