In a lecture recently given to women in Phil
adelphia, physician prescribed the best method
of preventing contagion or infection The
lecturer said 1.-THE best way to prevent the
poison from being absorbed by the lungs is to
have the stomach full during q period of con-
tact or exposure. The lungs absorb while the
stomach is empty. but throw off during diges-
ton, never absorbing while digestion Is going
on. While watching at night the nurse should
take light lunch. such as beef tea or crackers
every few hours. Another point of protection
against contagion is personal cleanliness and
frequent changes of inside and outsied clothing"

ManteI Decoration.

ManteI Decoration.
Philadelphia Record.
AS the spring time draws near there is cast
across every well-regulated household the
shadow of the annual house-cleaning, and there
comes in the wel-regulated housewives mind
visions of chsnges-the improvements, perhaps
in the furnishing and decorations of her home.
She may have the plan of attack all laid out in
in her mind; but more. likely she has not, and
ont of dilemma
Very few people properly appreciate the value
of an overmanteI. A pretty overmantel will re-
deem the ugliast room, and to be pretty it need
not be costly. Take, for example, the CHASTITY
white marble mantel. The first thing to be
done is to in some way hide its ghastliness tif 1t
by tasteful mantel of natural wood This
can be easily done by supplying first plain
board OF the dimensions of the shelf and cover
ing it with billia cloth. To the edge of this
attach a valance a foot so In depth across the
facing above the fire place and long enough to
reach the hearth at the ends. and thus conceal
the jambs. The material of this valance must
suit the other furnishings of the room. Now
instead of putting the ornaments on the shelf
have some carpenter or cabinet-maker make a
second shelf with two legs to support it in front
and a paneIed wooden back or the panels may
be mirrors. The panels, being small. will not
be very expensive, even If they should be 10 ok
ing glasses This shelf will require n drapine
Small ornaments may be placed underneath it.
the taller ornaments being reserved for the top.
Or, with the treatment of the mantel-
piece proper. paneed back of wood. either
with mirrors or without, will take away the
bare look and form a good back ground for orna-
ments. But. supposing neither of these orna-
mantels should be desired, much may still be
done to relieve the barrenness of the chimney.
Drape the mantel in some way, unless 1t be q
handsome one, and above it arrange asmall pct-
ure to one side, not in the centre. Drape high
above this some harmonious material, and place
on the other side some pretty FANS o. anything
else that taste and convenience may suggest.
Avoid anything like stiff arrangement with q
decided centre point, and do not put pair of
ANYTHING on the mantel shelf. II there should
be two vases let one be tall and slender. the
other short and stout and place them side by
side with other articles of bric-a brac at either
side of them.
