Hints for Housekeepers.


Fresh ripe fruit as a preventive Of
disease when eaten regularly and
moderately. Apples prepared in various
ways should form large part of the
Diet Of children and dyspeptics.
Children should never be fed on milk
from poor COW, reduced to the bare
possibility Of sustaining life. 1t is
murder to children to feed them on
such food. --. e. ~ = SO
Never go to bed with cold feet, nor
try to sleep without being perfectly GER
tain that you will be able to keep them
warm. To lie even one night with cold
feet gives such strain to the system as
will be felt seriously-perhaps ending in
a fit Of sickness. Cold feet show an I'M
balanced circulation. The very best
thing TODD is to warm them by exercise
if that be practicable. If not, try dip
ping them in hot and cold water alter
nately, and then using vigorous fric-
ton. If that does not warm them and
keep them warm, heat them before the
fire. drying them thoroughly, and then
correct your habits or improve your
health, for be sure that one or the other
is wroag-perhaps both.

Moss ON YouNe TREES. |

Moss ON YOUNG TREES. -We hear
the inquiry many times every year
"What shall we do to prevent moss
growing on our young fruit trees?' It
may be removed by washing with weak
lye, or thin lime whitewash, or strong
soapsuds. Or it may be simply scraped
of, if thick, and the bark then washed
with soapsuds. Moss is more apt to
grow On feeble, stunted trees, with old
rough bark, than on thrifty, smooth
ones, and hence good cultivation and
vigor are best to prevent it. Some
times it is the result only Of the trees
being much shaded. in which case it is
not to be regarded as a formidable evil
N itself.

BAD CoLDs.--A medical authority
asserts that the severest catarrh cold
can be removed in about ten hours by a
mixture Of carbolic-acid ten drops,
tinctre Of Iodine and chloroform, each
seventy-fve drops. A few drops of the
mixture should be heated over a spirit
lamp in a test-tube, the mouth of which
should be applied to the nostrils as
volatilzation is effected. The operation
should be repeated in about two minutes,
when, after the patient sneezes a
number of times, the troublesome
symptoms randy disappear.

symptoms rapidly disappear.

REMOVING SrAINs.-Almost any
stain may be removed from wash-goods
by FIRST soaking short while in cold
water. Removing it therefrom, place
it in clear boiling water, to which neither
soap nor lye have been added. Repeat
the boiling water time or two if
necessary. This applies to stains not
having been washed, as. soap or{lye sets
most stains. Stains, however, which
this process fails to remove are not
thereby fixed, but are just as subject to
any other treatment as before.
