UTILIZING OLD TABLE CLOTHS.


There are few ways to utilize table
cloths that are no longer considered
worthy OF darning except through the
relegntion OF bits of them to the house
hold medicine chest or to the city
hospitals. 1t should always be borne
in mind that old linen IS worth its
weight in gold at the hospitals.
But the table cloths that are much
worn in the center will often have
edges that are really stout and strong
enough to make napkins that will
prove amply good to find their way

Hemstitching on linen is such a
dainty mode OF finishing table linen
that the neat housewife is ever proud
to have her very best table cloths and

why One Feels Chilly When Lying
Down.

The reason is simply this. Nature
takes the time when one is lying
down to give the heart rest, and That
organ consequently makes ten strokes
less n minute than when one Is in an
upright position. Multiply that by
sixty minutes, and it is six hundred
strokes. Therefore in eight hours
spent in lying down the heart is saved
nearly 5000 strokes, and ms the heart
pumps six ounces of bIoo" WIN e"cL
stroke, it lifts 30, 900 onnc"s less OF
blood in II night of eight hours spent
in bed than when one is in an upright
position. As the blood flows so much
more slowly through the veins when
one is lying down, one must supply
