Sold by Druggists and Grocers everywhere. Correct Coffee Making. What every woman knows is that good food is easier to spoil in the cooking cooking than poor food. A bad egg or a steak is difficult to. make worse, no matter how it may be cooked. And by the same philosophy the most difficult teas or coffee to brew well are the highest grades that come from the gardens of the East, where the fancy sorts are grown. The deduction to be drawn is simple. If one intends to cook casually, the thing to do is to buy the cheapest food to be found. But if the care is to be used that makes of cooking a fine art and a safeguard to health, then good food is required as a basis. Whenever you see on a package of coffee directions reading "boil (so many) minutes," it is fairly safe to assume assume that the content is an indifferent article. The rare bouquet that is nature's gift to the product of favored areas of the Ep,st is entirely vanished, and,-what is even worse, the injurious principle of coffee is extracted by boiling. boiling. The moral is that if one uses an old- fashioned (coffee pot the- coffee should be ground quite fine (not pulverized), and fresh cold water .should_he.boilèd in another vessel. When the water comes to a hard boil pour it upon the coffee and stir a little until the floating floating coffee, sings. If the result is thin or otherwise unsatisfactory, one may be certain that the coffee dealer is providing providing inferior coffee. Made after this manner, coffee is a wholesome beverage. beverage. But if coffee and cold water are brought to a boil together, or if in the process of brewing the mixture is boiled at all, the ingredient "caffein" is liberated and caffein is not in the catalogue catalogue of healthful foods. Always look jfiean and loveable. Do everything on the right day when possible. Bedrooms should be carpeted in the middle cît the oor only. Keep your . house clean and tidy, especially your living-room. Have a place for everything and keep everything in its proper place. To purify cistern water put charcoal in a bag and hang it in the water. If the handies of table knives are discolored rub with brickdust and vinegar. vinegar. When packing bottles rubber bands slipped over them will prevent breakage. breakage. - When white, oilcloth is stained by coffee try rubbing with common baking soda. •• | See that plates and dishes are wiped underneath before being placed on the 7 table. Get up early on busy days : it is! easy to work when it is cool and quiet. A hot-water bottle should be only hSlf full. It is then soft and comfortable comfortable to use. When a suede bag or purse becomes 1 greasy looking, rub it with fine emery paper. To scour kettles use coarse sandpaper sandpaper in place of sandscap. It gives much beter satisfaction. Never put table linen in soapsuds until until the stains have been removed by pouring boiling water through it. To remove a blood stain soak in cold water or in water with salt. When stain is nearly gone use soap and water or starch paste. Stains in carpets may be removed by rubbing the parts with a lemon cut in half, and at the same time dabbing with a soft cloth. The house always indicates the temperament temperament of the tenants. If it is bright, clean and nice, so are they ; if hugger-mugger and dirty, they are that also. Try using a worn shaving brush for applying stove, blacking. The soap that- is in the brush helps to make a good polish as well as makes it easier and quicker done. If a joint is to be carved on the table spread a napkin under the dish so that the cloth will not be splashed. When this is done the napkin must be removed at dessert. Before using soda for laundry purposes purposes it must be completely dissolved in boiling water. If it ~ touched the clothes undissolved yellow marks would be left--in reality, burns.

Long - Known in Europe In Form of Sporadic Epidemics. "Infantile paralysis., the appearance of which in France seems to be feared," says Professor Arnold Net- ter, a member of the Academy of Medicine, and an authority on the disease, "is a malady as old as the world and which has long been known in the form of Sporadic epidemics, affecting adults as well as children. "It * exists now in England and France. Thousands of persons were affected by the disease in Sweden in 1905, and France suffered in its turn in 1909 and 1910, and even as late as 1914." As to the treatment of the disease, Professor Netter says : "Beginning in 1910, we employed injections of a serum derived from subjects who had been previously affected affected with the disease, and the results results were excellent wherever the subject could be treated at the outset of the attack. The use of serum may be considered as capable of arresting the progress and even of causing a disappearance of paralysis already developed." His Class.
