WHY Is He So IRRITABLE?"--Th ques.
ton is often heard and nearly as often un-
answered. 1t is not always RENE bered, as
and irritability is often to be found in the
physical condition of the person affected.
What is the use of trying to " harmonize "
man whose liver has gone back on him? If
man is tortured with rheumatism, how
can he be expected to be aifable and agree
able? Can a confirmed dyspeptic be ex-
pected to be cheerful and always ready to
tell funny story? The only way to re-.
move the difficulty is to get at the cause.
Dyspepsia, rheumatism, impure blood and
liver troubles yield to Hoods Sarsaparila.
This Is why it is an effective tranquilizer,
peaceful messenger and preventive of do
mestic quarrels.

Cure for scalds and Burns.

No accident occurs more frequently in
most families than that of scalding or
burning. For an accident of this kind
good, reliable, domestic remedy is needed,
that may be used Immediately, before a
physician arrives. This remedy l have
found in so simple preparation as alum
curd. To make it, take gill or more of
sweet milk Put it in tin vessel, and
place it on the stove to warm. Add to the
milk lump of alum about the size of
thimble, or larger, according to the quanti-
ty of milk. Stir the alum about till the
milk curdes. Skim out the curd and APP
ply it to the wound on a soft cloth. The
curd will stop the pain almost instantly.
Dress the wound at least twice day, wet
ting the cloths in the meantime with the
whey as often as they become dry. Make
fresh alum curd daily, and continue to
dress the wound till it is completely healed.
This remedy has been successfully used
in my own family and by my neighbors for
several years. 1t has cured several cases
of severe scalds and burns, healing the
wounds without leaving scar, which is an
important matter For all the numerous
little burns so frequently occurring in fam
ily of children, the alum curd is panacea,
giving immediate comfort. AS compared
with carron oil, collodion, soda, starch
paste, -four batter, and many salves, oint-
ments and liniments used as dressings for
burns throughout the country, the alum
curd is by far the best remedy. A lump of
alum should be kept in every family medi-
cine closet ready for use whenever acct
dents occur by burning or scalding, thus
saving much pain and many disfgured OF
Scared faces, so common at present.

icate person might receive such a shock as
to result in fatal injury.
La grippe has made such terrible raw
ages amongst us that the smile that once
arose when reference was made to it has
now changed into grave and very serious
expression. The family drug store should
be kept well stocked, for it may contain
something which shall prove to be inval-
liable in relieving the sufferer before the
doctor can be summoned. Four grains
of quinine taken every three hours until
the temperature is normal, should speedily
allay the fever. A mustard plaster or lin
seed poultice will be found to be very
soothing when there is much pain, while
hot water bottle will soon send the blood
flowing properly through the body.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
To study Dalrying In Denmark.

Secretary Rusk has sent Prof. G. G..
Georgeson, of the Kansas agricultural col
lege, as a special commissioner to Copen-
hagen to investigate and report upon the
dairy industry of Denmark, a country which
he regards the most advanced in dairy pro-
duction Of any in the world. Prof. George
son, though citizen of the United States
for many years, is Dane by birth and ed
ucation, and has therefore special advan-
tages for conducting an investigation in his
native land, and is regarded as in many
other respects thoroughly well-equipped for
a mission of this description.

The examination by the college physi-
clan of Yale university as to the effects OF
tobacco on the physical development OF
college students gave some interesting re-
suits, says the Springfield Union. The
test was made on the class which gradual
ed in 1891 and showed that during the
course the non-users of tobacco increased
1914 per cent in weight, "a per cent in
height, 26.7 per cent in chest girth, and in
lung capacity 77,5 per cent more than
those who used the weed regularly. The
figures afford pretty strong argument
against the use of tobacco.

Roots as a Food for stock.

The Utah experiment station has been
making careful study of the value of roots
as a stock food, and of the economy of
growing them for this purpose on large
scale. The results are given in a recent
bulletin. Stock beets and turnips were the
chief roots fed at the station to the cattle,
and sheep, hogs and steers were included
in the experiments. The results were not
exactly satisfactory to the recommendation
that has often been made to raise roots ex-
clusively for stock. Dry food appears to be
essential to the general makeup of cattle.
Nearly all of the ROOTED animals contain
ed more blood, less fat and the flesh was
less juicy.
Nearly all dressed cattle showed shrink
age over those dry fed, or fed with mix
ture of roots, with a loss in the dressed
weight; but in the case of hogs both live
and dressed weight were less. 1t is evident
from these experiments that it would not
pay to start large farms exclusively for
feeding stock on roots. Their systems
demand the more natural nourshment of
the dry feed. But the experiments showed
that the roots conferred some great ad-
vantages, and came very near being aeon
plete food. They illustrate the fact that
the ideal feeding ration for the stock is
composed of dry and wet food-the latter
being supplied by the roots.

Colds.

Contrary to the prevalent opinion that
colds and coughs are due entirely to the
severity of the climate or to some unex-
pected change in the weather, they really
arise, in very many cases, from pure careless
ness and want of thought. Colds are not
inevitable, but could often be avoided if
people would only use their ideas of com
mon sense and be reasonable.
The custom of muffling the neck very
closely with furs or similar protection is
extremely dangerous. If thoughtlessly
left off, a severe cold is sure. A light
wrapping, sufficient to exclude cold wind,
while permitting ventilation, gives the best
protection. For instance, if one sits in a
heated room while paying a visit, or during
the services at church, without removing
any of the many wraps which have been
donned for the cold atmosphere out of
doors, the result is almost sure to be a Sc
we're cold, contracted by the sudden change
from the heated room to the cold air,
Sleeping in badly ventilated rooms,
wearing at night the underclothing which
is worn through the day, late hours, loss OF
sleep, greasy food and irregularity of meals,
all tend to weaken the system to such an
extent as to render it quite incapable of re-
sisting the changes in the weather or any
exposure to disease. While we all advo
cate cold and well ventilated sleeping
apartments, we, at the same time, mus
condemn the cold room for dressing in thu
morning. 1t is most unhealthy, and del

A Fair Exchange.

Georges mother had company in the
parlor one evening when the nurse was
away. Mamma put him to bed, and told
him to go to sleep like a good boy He
was very unwilling, and was hardly per-
suaded even when she told him that he
would not be by himself, for God was with
him and would take care of him. At last
he consented, and she went down stairs to
her visitors. After an hours pleasant chat
she congratulated herself that the baby
was fast asleep, when what should she see
at the parlor door but her little boy in his
white nightgown, looking as if he had just
stepped down from a picture, and saying,
pathetically: Mamma, dear, you tum up
and tay wifi bod a while and let me tum
in here"

Co,tnnsssd polsonous to Hogs.

The Texas experiment station has been
making a complete test of cottonseed as a
food for swine, and the conclusions reached
are important. A bulletin from the sta
ton says it is definitely proved that cotton
seed is poisonous to swine. Though valu-
able for feeding purposes to many animals,
it is positively deadly in its action when
fed to hogs. AS many farmers have been
giving more or hess of it to their swine in
the past it is important that the matter
should be decided for them. In the
Southern states especially is cottonseed
meal given to hogs, and from S1S to $40
per ton are often paid for it. Several cpl
demic diseases among swine have been
traced back to cottonseed meal, and the
true theory now is to leave it out entirely
in the swine ration. 1t is poison to them
no matter how fixed or mixed with other
articles. At the station shoats and pigs
fed on the meal died within few months,
while others, though they lived longer,
showed evident signs of poisoning quite
early.
