Every woman knows the irritation of finding a favorite waist, petti- coat or corset ready for the laun- dry just as she wants it most. ~ A clever housewife, however, has thought out a way to launder such an article of clothing quickly. Wash the garment and starch as usual, but instead of hanging it out in the open air, lay flat on a very heavy Turkish towel. Then, beginning at one end, roll the towel and garment as tightly as possible. If laid in a, warm place the towel will have absorbed enough moisture in a very short time to permit the garment to be ironed. Before washing any piece-of wil- low furniture brush it thoroughly, so as to remove every particle of dust. Otherwise no amount of washing will get the furniture clean. WASHING DISHES.

Oftentimcs none, but if the bacteria are those which convey disease, dirty dishes may be the means of giving it to well persons. But most of all, persons who are at all thoughtful of such things do not want any dirt which may be preâ€" vented by good methods, simply beâ€" cause dirt in itself is sufficiently un- pleasant.

KITCHEN KINKS. ' Elasticity is restored to rubber by soaking it in one part ammonia and two parts clear water until the desired results are obtained. This is specially true in the case of rings or other articles that have become stiff and brittle. Keep a piece of sandpaper handy .to the sink where the dishes are washed. It will prove invaluable.

A telltale flavor of soap in the morn- ing cream has more than once re- vealed careless habits in the kit- chen, and made it evident that all the soap was not removed in rins- ing. The utensils must then be dipped into absolutely boiling wat- er for a moment. It is an important matter to wash the milk bottle in which milk is now commonly delivered to customers. By this we refer to the washing of the full bottle before it is opened. It is safe to say that this is seldom done. But notice the bottle as it is brought into the kitchen, the milkman grasping it with his hand over the top. These hands perhaps more often than not have harnessed his horse, have been grasping the reins all the morning, ‘have opened and shut doors, run along stair railings, have perhaps wiped mouth or nose, and yet the thoughtless housekeeper or cook, regarding the white cap as full security from the outer world, pours out the milk over a very dirty bottle brim. Milk bottles should be put under the hot water spigot for‘ a moment and wiped dry with a clean cloth before opening. Most housewives agree that milk Haven’t you washed Here, bottles should be carefully rinsed before they are returned, perhaps more from a feeling for cleanliness than for‘absolute necessity, as the milk bottles in all wellâ€"managed dairies are thoroughly scrubbed and washed before refilling. If such violations of this practice as recent- ly came under observation are noted, when, the driver of a dairy wagon washed out some milk bot- ties in a public drinking fountain provided for horses, refilled them and disposed of them to other cus- tomers, complaint should be made to the dairy and, if this is not suf- ficient, to the board‘of health. _.._*_____ DEAFNESS PREVENTABLE. Doctor Urges Treatment of Symp- toms in Children. Dr. MacLeod Yearsley, recently at the British Health Conference, contributed' a valuable paper on “The Prevention. of Deafness in Children,” in which he stated that most of the cases of deafness which occurred after birth were preventable. He ennumerated the common causes of deafness in adults which were traceable to ne- glect of the same in their childhood, and urged that if the early symp- toms of defective hearing were checked there would be far fewer cases of deafness among adults. This is knowledge that cannot be too widely diffused, seeing that deafness is said to be very preva- lent just now among schoolboys. V 5‘ THE WAY OUT. / I I 5 I / 3 z .4 x I I 5 a ?

There has just been placed on exhibition in the Graeco-Roma-n gallery of the British Museum, Lon- don, England, a small letter which éiJates back to the first century A. . and which throws light upon the 'medical profession of that period. The letter is written upon a sheet of papyrus about the size of a half sheet of ordinary note paper. The writer was a certain Procleius, a resident of Alexandria, the recipi- ent being a drug merchant named Pecysis at Oxyrhyncus in the Fay- um. The missive reads as follows: ‘Procleius to his dearest Pecysis, Change of Food Brought Success greeting! and Happiness. An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on account of nervousness and hyâ€" steria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and furnish 'health. “From infancy,” she says, “I have not been strong. Being ambi- tions to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School, but soon had 'to abandon my studies 'on ac- count of nervous prostration and hysteria. “My food did not agree with me, I grew thin and despondcnt. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicines. “This wretched condition con- tinued until Lwas twentyâ€"five, when I became interested in the letters of those who had cases like mine and who were getting well by eatâ€" ing Grapeâ€"\lut" _ “I had little faith but procured a box and after the first dish I exâ€" perienced a peculiar satisfied feel- ing that I had never gained from any ordinary food.

It is conjectured that he was one of those Greek mer- chants who employed native Egyp- tians to gather samples for them and prepare extracts and decocs tions which they supplied to the doctors of Alexandria and other great cities. The discovery of the letter affords a new illustration of the unchang- ing character of life in the east. Many drug sellers of precisely the same character are to be found to- day in Akhmin, Girgeh, and other towns of the Nile Valley.

AN INTERESTING COMPARISON OF BONDS AND MORTGAGES. The Experlences of Two Men, One of Whom Invested In Bonds and me Other In Mortgagesâ€"Bonds are Readlly Nesotl- able, Mortgages are Not. The articles contributed by "Inventor’l are for the sole purpose of guiding pros- pective investors, and. if possible. of sav- ing them from losing money through placing it in "wild-cat" enterprises. The impartial and reliable character of the Information may be relied upon. The writer of these articles and the publisher of this paper have no interests to serve in connection with this matter other than those of the reader. (By “Investor.") A few years ago~it was in the panic year of 1907â€"3. man possessed a mort- gage which he wanted to sell and couldn't â€"â€"next tried to realize on it by using it as collateral security at a bank for a loan. Now, under the Bank Act, banks are wisely prevented from loaning on such fixed security as mortgages. You see. a bank’s business is essentially a cash business, and its assets have to be such as may be readily turned into cash. They may. therefore, buy bonds or loan on bonds or stocks, but not on mortgages- So. of course, the bank couldn't loan this man any money on the mortgage. At one bank. however, he knew the general man- ager, and knowing that the mortgage was a good one and the man honest the banker’ loaned him the money on his note. taking his verbal promise not to use the mortgage without paying off the note. That is one of the greatest drawbacks to loaning money on a mortgageâ€"it is so difficult to cash it in if one requires the money unexpectedly, or even to get a loan on it. ' During the same year a. man had some bonds which he had bought as an in- vestment. Now, 1907 was a year when,.as everyone will remember, money was ex- ceedingly scarce. As a result he had to raise some money, and to do so he went to his banker with the bonds. "Certainly," said the banker? “We can loan you up to 90 per cent. of the value of those bonds"â€"they were bonds of fairly wclL known municipalitiesâ€"“or you can, of course, sell them and get about 98 per cent. of what they cost you." This man didn’t want nearly 90 per cent. of the value of the bonds, nor did he particularly want to sell them, so he borrowed what money he needed and put up the bonds as security. So soon as the stress was over he paid off his loan and put his bonds back in his strong box. Mortgages are, without doubt, a very excellent form of investment and one which people with lots of money and with no occasion to have to realize on them at short notice may purchase if they use care. They are, of course, in many ways a nuisance because they involve a whole lot of attention to details. Insurance, titles, valuation and upkeep are matters which require more or less attention and the best legal advice is necessary in draw- ing them up and searching the titles. But for those with lots of time to attend to such matters they are satisfactory. On the other chosen, involve no more bother than the cutting off of coupons every half year and depositing them in the bank. Of course, anyone buying bonds must look into the matter very carefully. Bonds carrying bonuses of common stock are necessarily speculative and should be avoided by those who cannot afford to take chances. 0n the other hand. in the case of indus- trial bonds, the assets should amount to at least twice the bonds issued and the greater this proportion is the better. Earnings, too, should be over twice the amount required for bond interest. If a company issuing bonds has outstanding shares on which it has been paying divi- dends all the better; for the bond's inter- est comes before the stockholders’ divi. (lends, whether they own preferred or common stock. A careful investor, how- ever, will not buy a bond of a company which cannot show at least earnings for the past three years which average well in excess of the amount required for bond interest. . In municipals one need not be so (“mot- ing. No villages and small towns be avoidedâ€"one may blxly with confidence. 4 GRAINS OF GOLD.
