Give More Thought to Dress.-Too often does life
degenerate into mere animal existence. Home is
oblterated or becomes simply place where a man
and 4 woman and an indefinite number OF children
eat and sleep. This condition is by no means
necessary accompaniment of farm life and while
would not hold the wife and mother wholly respon-
sible where il exists, do Affirm that woman of
tact and sense N do much toward preventing il.
The home is the woman's realm and she can make
it largely what she chooses; and while dress and
personal appearance not all, they are much-so
much that fifteen or twenty minutes day spent in
their interest will pay heavier dividends in comfort
and happiness than almost any other fifteen
minutes of the day.-Ohio Farmer.
Alcohol and Blood Spots.-Alcoholic stimulants
make local COMPOSITIONS in the mucous coats OF the
stomach spots OF blood settling That is O remote,
or secondary consequence, and when once formed
the drinker feels peculiar sinking, feeling in the
pit of tie stomach which can not be described as
felt. He knows that q drink will send the stag
nant blood on its toward the heart again and
comfort result. But the reaction means more blood
spots III the stomach and more hell through all the
nerve cords of his being. Peace purchased at such
about and have the fight out at once. The suffering
viii not lie greater than that caused by delayed
drink-Dr. L. Il. eek.
Rest for the Digestive Organs.-P Perhaps the diges
tive apparatus never has chance fer good rest
food is thrust upon it al lbitun its resources arc
'aXci to the utmost in the disposition. Stomach,
liver, pancreas and Spleen severally col ectiyey,
Ike their protest. Rest for these organs is only
fa ting, and tie wise physicians prescribe it in
larger smaller doses, along with other agents. In
this way the gorged condition Of liver spleen, etc,
il reduced to comparative emptiness; the elastic
capsules Of these organs exert their contractiYe
power; physiological excitement subsidies; physo-
logical rest superyenes, and the individual minute
secretng organisms are in condition to recover
physiological strength and tone.-Dr. Covert on
Home knowledge.
Care of the Hair.-A good many women wash
their hair only at very long intervals asserting that
the practice is injurious. A recent medical work
by DR.. G. r. Jackson, on the hair and skin, directly
con radcts this view. DR.. Jackson says that women
should shampoo their hair every two weeks regu-
larly; if they exposed to much dust every week
or ten days The head should be well rubbed in
luther Of some good soap preferably Pears clear
glycerlne. All the soap Shout then be thoroughly
riused out with warm water and after haT'Gnd
scalp have been well rubbed with q towel drying
should be completed in the sunlighto by register
ANY evil results from washing the hair are simply
caused By pressing it before tits properly dried After
washing, the doctor recommends rubbing little
vaseliue into tine w1p but not on the hair; he con
siders oiling the hair is mistake and an uncleany
one. Much, too, depends on tie way the hair is
brushed. Once day ii should be most thoroughly
brushed with stiff brush, which will remove par
ticles Of dust, and rub the scalp into glow How
