and, If It is left on, It will heal with
out a scar.
If a pimple or boil will not come to
a head apply cloths that have been
dipped in hot water.
If there is trouble of any kind with
the eyes, a wash of either cold tea or
new milk is good.
A doctor who makes a specialty of
modern nerve cures says that an hour
of silence should be rigorously impos
ed on each patient daily. In serious
cases it may even bed esirable to en
force silence for two hours each day.
Massaging out the eyes must be
done very carefully, else more wrinkles
will appear. Using a slight rotary
motion with the finger tips, work from
the nose toward the temple and up
around the eyelid, toward the nose
again, using food or facial cream.
A splendid face bleach and one that
is sanctioned by medical men is made
from one-half ounce of Jordan al
monds, one and one-half drams of bit
ter'almonds, one-half pint of distilled
water and seven and a half grains of
bichloride of mercury coarsely powd
ered.
Apply ground flour or rice to a cut
that will not stop bleeding; either wil
be found effective. A burn will be re
lieved if either soft soap or common
baking soda be applied at once. As
much baking soda as will cover a 10-
cent piece taken in a quarter of a
glass of hot water will relieve indi
gestion.
Another exercise to reduce the" hips
and abdomen is as follows: Take the
usual standing position. Raise the
arms above the head, the elbows rigid
and close to it, and the palms forward.
Bend the body forward, keeping the
knees absolutely rigid, and touch the
toes with the tips of the fingers. Usu
ally this is impossible at first, but
practice gradually stretches the mus
cles and limbers them.
ittle white spots on the finger nails
are usually caused by contact with
steel manicure instruments, the slight
bruises : causing the fluids of the nails
to form in tiny masses. When lifting
the cuticle away from the nail never
use a steel instrument, but instead
depend upon an orange-wood stick or a
bit of ivory. It is said that a com
press of spirits of camphor will re
move the spots, but this is doubtful
Time is the only cure for this trouble
as for many others.
Suggestions for Housewives ,
Colored goods should be ironed on
the wrong side.
Embroidery should also be ironed
on the wrong side of a piece of flan
nel an dit should be kept long enough
under the iron to dry it thoroughly.
Try rubbing needles up and down In
a piece of oiled silk before putting
them in the needle book, or keep them
in flannel that has been slightly, oiled.
Do not lay the scrubbing brush with
the bristles upward. The water is al
lowed to leak into the wooden part
and the bristles very . soon become
loose. Always place it with . the
bristles down.
Low shoes, when new, often blister
the heels by slipping Just a little as
the wearer walks. To prevent this it
iss well to rub the inside of the shoe
at the heel with soap before putting it
on.
Rubber bands are most useful .'for
keeping sleeves out of the, .way when
doing housework. Pull your sleeves
up as far as you want them to go
and put the bands around your arms
over the sleeves.
By cutting old potatoes , into small
balls, allowing them to soak for three
or four hours in cold water, then boil
ing in cold salted water and serving
with cream sauce, a good substitute
for new potatoes is obtained.
If a teaspoonful of concentrated lye
with a cup of water be put in a ket
tle whose contents have burned on.

hours there will be no trouble In re
moving the burned substance. I
