hot Goals from the fire, sprinkle table,
spoonful or two of -four Of sulphur on
the hot Goals, and place under the bed.

To PUT BACK CoLD.-So soon as
you feel that you are taking q cold-and
you will generally have notice before it
amounts to much - place your feet
INTO water made as warm as you can
bear, and keep them there about ten
minutes. Change them, then, into q
vessel containing cold water-if ice
water, all the better-and hold them in
it about minute after which wipe dry
and put on warm stockings. This treat
ment will never fail to put back cold.
as can testify from having practiced it
successfully for over three years. The
feet seem to govern cold, and this
bathing them first In warm water and
then III cold leaves them all aglow. the
effect of which is soon felt throughout

THE FooD REoU1s1fE TO SUSTAIN
HEALTH. 1t is difficult to lay down any
strict rule as to the amount of food to
be taken III twenty-four hours by grown
up people. Men require more animal
food than women, and those engaged in
active exercise require much more than
those who live sedentary life. Labor
ers can get through much more work in
day when well fed than when living
on moderate diet. The different kinds
OF food should be we'll apportioned; il
Is equally bad TO live on q purely farina-
oeous diet as it would be to take only
fat or meat. What is required for
state of health is to take fair proper
ton OF each. 1t is important, also, that
meals should be taken with regularity,
as 1t Is very bad plan to allow inter-
walls OF varying lengths between meals.
1t has been estimated that the food re-

81 o., and of water 81 fluid or. that is
about two end one-half pounds of solid
food and about three pints of fluid.
EATING LEMoNs.-A good deal has
been said through the papers about the
healthfulness Of lemons. The latest adj
vice as to how to use them so they will
do the most good runs as follows Most
people know the benefit of lemonade be-
fore breakfast, but few know how it is
more than doubled by taking another at
night also. The way to get the better

quinine, is to take the juice of one, two
or three lemons, as the appetite Graves.

ant to drink, without sugar, before going
to bed. In the morning on rising, or at
least half an hour before breakfast, take
the juice of one lemon in a goblet OF
water. This will clear the system OF
humcrs and bile, with mild efficacy.
without any of the weakening effects Of
calomel or congress water People
should not irritate the stomach by eating
lemons clear the powerful acid of the
juice, which is almost corrosive. infal-
libby produces inflammation after a
while. but properly diluted, so that il

its full medicinal work without harm.
and when the stomach is clear OF food has
abundant opportunity to work on the
system thoroughly.
