How to Put out Fire I'm Burning

The estlmnhle young lady who wns

ought to be SO taught that they are in>
grained into the mind; and the useless,
ness Of all study that does not include
these, WIS seldom more disnshously
shown than on Monday night. The first.
thing to teach a girl i'll this matter is that
fire makes Roadway more rapidly in

In warm summer weather, says the
Orange County Farmer, many persons
feel an irresistible craving for some
thing sour, and often crafty this desire
by free indulgence in pickles or veg
etables made acid with vinegar. This
demand for acids indicates deficiency
in the acid secretions of the stomach,
and the demand for an artificial supply
is natural one, but vinegar is not the
best substitute. Acetic acid { vinegar)
is never found in the natural secretions
of a healthy stomach. Tactic acid is
one of the chief agents that gives acidi-
ty to the gastric juice of the stomach
in health. This is the acid of sour
milk, and therefore one of the best
summer drinks that we can use is but.
termilk. 1t satisfies the craving for
acids by giving to the stomach natu'
raj supply, and at the same time fur
nishes in its cheesy matter a good sup,
ply of wholesome nutrition. A man
will endure fatigue in hot weather, bet.
ter on buttermilk than on any diet
drink he can use.

Eating Lemons.
Georgia Chronicle.

Georgia Chronicle.
A good deal has been said through
the papers about the healthfulness of
eating lemons. The latest advice as to
how to use them so as they will do the
most good runs as follows: Most peo-
pie know the benefit of taking them
before breakfast, but few know how it
is more than doubled by taking another
at night also. The way to get the bet
ter Of bilious system without pills or
quinine is to take the juice Of one, two,
or three lemons, as the appetite Graves,
in as much ice water as makes it pleas
ant to drink, without sugar, before GO
ing to bed In the morning on rising,
or at least half an hour before break
fast, take the juice of one lemon in
goblet of water. This will clear the
system of humors 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 clean; the powerful
acid of the juice, which is almost cor
rosive, infallibly produces inflammation
after awhile, but diluted, so that it does
not burn or draw the throat, it does its
full medicinal work without harm, and
when the stomach is clear of food has
abundant opportunity to work on the
system thoroughly.
