found this plan to afford immediate,
certain and permanent relief.

search has shown that the contagious
or infectious diseases, terrible in their
nature, once blamed on evil spirits,
are caused by minute organisms lurk-
ing in moist, foul ground, or decaying
matters; in our food, or drink, most
often in the latter. The best provision
for the health of ourselves and animals,

Cuffs that are laundried at home
often fail to please because they are
ironed out flat. and when the buttons
are put in the cuffs blister and wrinkle.
This can be avoided, if the laundress
only knows how to iron the
cuffs they are perfectly dry,
and then takes the broad end
of the flat-iron on the edge, slowly
goes over the length of the cuff. The
cuff will roll as the iron leaves it. This
is so simple an operation that one is
likely to succeed the first time she
tries to doit.
Good flour. lively yeast and skill
are all required to make good bread.
At night take two quarts of warm water
and one teacupful of yeast, stir in -four
until it makes stiff batter. Cover
and let it remain overnight; in the
morning mix with more flour, but not
too hard. Knead the dough well and
return it to the bread pan and let it rise
again until it is quite light; then make
into loaves and let rise halt hour in
the pans and bake. Before mixing in
the sponge. it is an addition to rub
tablespoonful of fresh lard into the
-four. Careful baking is an important
part of the progress. New
