Death in the DishclOth.

A lady gives the following advice
about dishcloths:
:" If they are black and stiff, and smell
like q barn-yard, it is enough throw
them in the fire and henceforth and
forever wash your dishes with cloths
that are white, cloths that you can see
through, and see if you ever have that
disease again. There are sometimes
other causes, but l have smelled a
whole house full of typhoid fever in
one dishrag.' l had some neighbOrs
once-clever, good sort of folks. One
Fall four of them were sick at one time
with typhoid fever. The doctor ordered
the vinegar barrels white-washed, and
threw about forty cents worth of car
bolic acid in the swill-pail and depart
ment. l went into the kitchen and
made gruel--I needed a dish-cloth and
looked around and found several, and
such rags! / burned them all, and
called the daughter of the house to get
me n dish-cloth. She looked around
on the table. "Why,' said she, .there
was about dozen here this morning,
and she looked in the wood-box and on
the mantlepiece. and felt in the cup
board. WELL l said, Il saw some old,
black, rotten rags lying around here
and burned them-for there is death
in such dishcloths as those, and you
must never use such again took
turns in nursing that family for weeks
and l believe those dirty dishcloths
were the cause of all that hard work.
Therefore, 1 say to every house.
keeper, keep your dishcloths clean.
You may only brush or comb your
head on Sundays, you need not wear a
collar unless you 60 from home-but
you must wash your dishcloths. You
may only sweep the floor when the sun
gets right; the windows don't need
washing, you can look out of the door
that spiders web don't hurt anything
but rs you love your lives wash Out
your dishcloth. Let the foxtail grass
grow in the garden 1.-THE seed is FOOT
deep anyway let the holes in the heels
ofyour husbands foot rags 90 undarned
let the sage 60 ungathered, let the
childrens shoes go two Sundays without
backing, let the hens set four weeks or
one wooden egg-but do wash Out
your dishclOths. Eat without table
cloth, wash your laces and let then
dry, do without curtain for your win
dows and cake for your tea-but fol
heavens sake keep your dishclotf
clean"

BISCUIT LUXURY FOR ALL.-The
popular notion that people suffering
from dyspepsia or predisposed to that
disease should not eat biscuit has
grown out of the fact that the common
5aleratus has been used in the making
of such biscuit. And it was right; the
article is mischievous. But light and
healthy biscuit, such as dyspeptic peo-
pie may eat with IMMUNITY and with
positive benefit, ar made from d. b.
