The scftest Hed not Always the Beat Aid

There is an old story of an Indian
aud a 'pale-face, who, after long
days journey, lay down in deserted
cabin at nightfall to rest. The
Indian, wrapping himself in his
blanket stretched himse on the
floor Of the cabin, with his feet TO
the fire, and was soon asleep. His

Luxurious repose is never true
physical rest.
To enjoy that blessing to its fullest
extent, freedom from restraint must
be allowed every part of the body. A
firm surface is requircd-one that
will tend to keep the body stretched
out at full length, that the lungs and
heart may feel no sense of restriction
by compression of the chest-walls,
and that the blood may have unin-
terrupted course in every direction.
We should never be guilty OF sup
posing that the person whom we saw
sitting In a chair with his chin press
ing on his sunken chest, was enjoying
true physical rest, no matter how
fast asleep he might appear to be-
The tendency OF the body to CRAWL
tate toward the lowest part OF
feather bed is beyond remedy
In this position the whole fbody is
often so curled up that no one part is
free from construction. The chest
walls are cayed in, and the whole
body suffers from the consequent lack
Of proper uxygenation Of the blood
and the restriction which is placed
upon its general circulation. The
blood moves sluggishly. and as a re-
suit the condition OF fiat aud flabby"
is superlnduced.
This condition is never likely TO
follow the constant use of firm hair

to get dropsical from too sluggish a

TO WASH CHINA SILK.

In these days, when wash silks e
in common use, few words in regard
to washing them may be Of interest.
As silk is an animal fiber, like wool, it
cannot be treated in the same way as
cotton, which can be subjected TO
waters Of all temperatures without in
jury Silk should be washed as ra-
pidly as possible. Examine the arti-
Giles to be washed, and if there are
any parts especially soiled, clean with
a little benzine or gasoline, applied
with flannel cloth. Then prepare a

plunge the garments in it, sousing
them up and down, and rubbing them
thoroughly in this suds Rinse them
into water a little cooler, and then
into third water still little cooler.
and so on until the final rinsing water
is perfectly cold. Do not blue them.

that time iron them on the wrong side

These directions for boiling rice
sent out by the Louisiana Rice Exhibit
of New Orleans: Pick the rice clean
and wash it in two cold waters, not
draining off the last water until you
are ready to put the rice on the fire.
Prepare a saucepan with water and a
little salt. When it boils, sprinkle in
the rice gradually SO as not to stop
the boiling Boil hard for twenty
minutes, keeping the pot covered Then
take it from the back of the fire
and pour off the water, after
which set the pot ON the back
of the stove to allow the rice to dry
and the grains to separate. Remem-
Der to boil rapidly from the time you
cover the pot until you take 1t off !;
this allows each grain to swell to three
times its normal size, and the motion
prevents the grains from sticking to-
gether- Don't STIR 1t, as this will
cause it to fall to the bottom and burn.
When properly boiled, rice should be
snowy white, perfectly dry, soft, and
every grain separate.
