Charcoal Is one Of the most renarka-
BILE articles in common use, and pos
sesses many qualities not generally un-
derstood by the laity. AS an absorbent
of bad odors it has no equal. Placed
around articles of food it prevents de-
cay and preserves them for a time in
all their freshness. In fine powder It
is one of the most perfect dressings
for malignant wounds and those where
proud flesh is present As cure for
headache it Is invaluable, a teaspoon
full in half a glass of water often afford
ing immediate relief. The power of
charcoal to absorb gases is not general
ly appreciated. 1t will take up and
hold thirty volumes of ammonia, forty
of nitrous oxide, sixty-five of sulphur
Gus acid, and eighty-five of hydro
chloric acid. Some of these gases may
be withdrawn and used at will. The
storage value of charcoal, while 1t is
just becoming known to practical work
ers. has already opened many avenues
of future usefulness.

HEALTH FOR THE MILLION:

L
Washing the hair repeatedly with vinegar
or alcohol will destroy nits.
For the relief of the catarrh in the head
there is nothing so helpful as a cleansing
antiseptic wash.
Wash the face daily in sour milk or
buttermilk-this is one of the simplest and
best treatments for sunburn.
Quinine sulphate, 20 grains to pint Of
whisky, is a mild hair tonic. Rub on the
scalp with a small sponge every night.
All hair dyes are harmful because OF
the lead they contain, and there is nc
remedy for premature grey hair except a
dye.
Ringing noises in the head are as often
due to anaemia as anything else. Take a
tablespoonful of pepto-mangan in half a
glass of cold milk three times a day for
one month.
An excellent remedy for catarrh of the
stomach and bowels Is phosphate of sodi-
um. Take 1t for several months, once
daily a teaspoonful in teacupful Of boil
ing water (sip while hoD half an hour
before breakfast.
Massage of the scalp will promote Its
nutrition and II the scalp be we'll nour-
ished the hair will not be so apt to fall
out. The hair will be injured by too fire.
quent shampooing; once every week Is
often enough. Borax and water may be
used to cleanse the scalp.
There is no drug to give one memory.
Teach yourself to remember-begin at
night and write down on paper everything
you did since you arose from your bed In
the morning What you ate, where you
went, to whom you spoke, etc; omit moth
ing. In one weeks time there will be a
marked improvement.

Manrra For Sandy Soil

There are two defects in sandy soil
which require manures to remedy. One
is lack of vegetable matter, because as
sandy soil does not hold water it is al
ways warm, and whatever vegetable
matter it may have is quickly decom
posed. Green manure is the best, as it
is the quickest remedy for this But
there are many places where the best
kinds of plants to pillow under for green
manure will not grow, This is owing to
lack of mineral plant food, chiefly lime
and potash. Wood ashes contain both,
and they ought always to be used hber-
ally on sandy land The potash helps to
relieve the dryness of sandy soil 1t
will dissolve the sandy particles, max
ing true soil Of them, and thus retard
ing too rapid filtration through it,
If olovel will not grow, at first sow
rye or some other large grain, and plow
the first crop under. This Will make
humus in the soil, and that will secure
a clover catch. So soon as clover can be
made to grow there will be no further
trouble We would not advise blowing
under the clover at first. Cut it and feed
it to stock. Save all the manure made
from it and apply 1t to growing more
clover When grain can be top dressed,
there will be no difficulty in getting a
catch of clover or grass, however poor
the soil may originally have been. All
applications of manure ON sandy soil
should be ON the surface. The manure
will leach down fast enough without
being plowed under American Guilt
