Treatment For the Hands to Preserve
Their Beauty,
While using the broom, dustpan,
coal bucket and even during general
straightening gloves should be
gorn. When it is impossible to wear
gloves a free use ofp lard or castile
soap about and under the finger
nails prevents dirt settiing,
A pinch of borax or a few drops
of ammonia in the water, with the
pse of pure castile soap, does won
ders. When the hands yield to only
one good treatment a day it should
be given at night. ©Oatmeal, corn
meal or bran soaked a few minutes
in hot water is a good wash for
hands that have become hard and
dry. ‘A good eream to rub them
with afterward is made of mutton
tallow, honey and lemon jnice melt
ed together until of the comsistency
of cream.
Stained or discolored hands may
be improved by using a wash in
which a little lemon juice, raw to
mato skins and rock ammponia or
borax has Dbeen dissolved. A mix
ture consisting of clear honey, pow
dered sulphur and camplior 1s good
for blotched and elammy hands.
| Buttermilk as a Medicine.
i Buttermilk has great medical
value. It is a decided laxative and
helpful in chronic cases needing
!such treatment. 1t is a diuretic and
may be used to advanfage in some
kidney troubles. It is invaluable in
treating diabetes, either exclusively
or alternating with skim milk. In
some diseases it is the only food
that can be retained. g
. Corncob “Maple” Sirup. e
Here is a formula for maple sirup
made from corncobs: Take four red
eorncobs and steep in one quart of
water until the latter-is of a red
hue. Add to this a suificient guan
tity of sugar to make a heavy sirup
{about four pounds). Strain while
hot through cheesecloth. The prod
uct when cold will defy an expert.
Enameled Saucepans.
Scouring an enameled saucepan
with powdered pumice stone will re
move its stains, but prevention is
better than cure, and the easiest
way to keep them nice is to boil
them out frequently with water con
taining a little chloride of Jime. In
‘this way they may always be kepf
‘clean and nice.
To Make Limewater.
Limewater is prepared by slaking
jime by dropping a piece of quick
lime into water. The white powder
is precipitated and added to a bottle
of boiling water after the first wgter
is poured off. Let the boiling water
take up all the lime it will, and then
this in turn is poured into a botile
ready for use. A :
I FOR THE LITTLE ONES.
Tearing a Pack of Cards Is Easy Wher
You Know How.
To tear a pack of cards in two is
rega. rc%ed by some as a marv-elous
Lot o strength, and yet the trick is
possible : t‘zrs any one wih fairly
strong fing *7°
btrThi Secé;et" of the trick lies in the
fact that the e'atire pack is not torn
at once, but in pretending to get a
grip on the pac the strong man so
manipulates the cards that they
overlap. In this way but a single
card is torn at a time, and once the
surface is torn the rest is easy.
To any one who can hold a pack
of cards firmly the trick is fairly
easy, and while in olden times a sin
gle pack of cards was considered to
be the limit of s.t.ren?t.h, many of
our strong men tear three and four
packs at a time,
Rover’s Dinner,
“Hurrah for New Year’s!” cried
Rover in his deep bass voice as he

full of good things, ~ :

“Now, this is what I call a feast,”

“If they- cooked it for themselves,

f Some skin diseases are active in .Summer, while others wait until cold
weather to manifestthemselves, Winter Eczema sleeps in the system through
the long hot months, and gives no sign of its presence; but at the coming of
Winter the trouble asserts itself and it becomes one of the most painful and
distressing of all skin diseases. The blood is filled with poisonous acids
which seem to be excited by the cold; and as these are thrown off through
the pores and glands, the skin cracks and bleeds, the flesh becomes hot and
feverish and the itching intense. The natural oils which keep the skin soft
and pliant are dried up by the cold, bleak winds, causing it to become hard
anddry, giving itthatshiny, leathery appearance, characteristic of the disease,
The head, face, hands and feet are the usual points of attack, though other
parts of the body may be affected. So painful and distressing is the trouble
that the sufferer constantly ‘‘doctors’’ and treats it trying to get relief,
Soothing washes, medicated ointments and salves are used, but aside from
giving temporary relief they do no good. The cause is poisonous acids in
the blood, and these must be removed before a cure can be effected. The only
cure for Winter Eczema is S. S. S., the greatest of all blood purifiers. It
cleanses the entire blood supply of the acrid
S A 5 poisons and sends a fresh, healthy stream to the
e s, diseased skin, healing and softening it and cur-
