kettle for use is to fill it with clean po-
tatO parings; boil them for an hour or
water. wipe il dry, and rub il with a

scarlet fever epidemic near London
was traced by DIR. Stevenson, a medical
officer of health. to the milk sent there

fever had previously prevailed in Ok
Yorkshire. and the milk sent out from

who have the care of invalids or infants
TO boil their milk before using it. We
are not in favor of sounding useless
alarms, but in the case of infants or
delicate persons we think it as well to
boil the milk before giving it, especial

cows.-RBrd Nev Yorker.
one of the chief causes of failure in
growing house plants is the overheated
rooms in which they are placed. We

cause during most of the winter, plants
in their natural state make little if any
growth, the most they need being pro-

may be, furnish more fresh air than can
survive the furnace-heat and the uncon-
