When any part of the body isn't doing
the work that nature intended it to do,
it puts the whole system out of tune
out Of harmony. Sickness in one part of
the body is likely to run into all parts of
the body. When children stand a row
of bricks on end, they knock the whole
row down by upsetting one brick. That
is exactly what happens to the health
when the bowels fail to perform their
proper function. Constipation makes
trouble all along the line-puts the liver
out of order, is bad for the kidneys-ba
for the stomach. 1t holds in the body
poisonous matter, and because it cannot
90 any place else, it gets into the blood.
The blood carries it all over the system.
That makes sluggishness, lassitude, bad
breath and foul taste in the mouth. fills
the stomach with gas and causes windy
belching, stops digestion in the stomach,
causes sour stomach, heartburn and
headache. You can avoid all such trou-

Those who have suffered from ear

and safe remedies Where the pain is
caused by sudden cold steam will gen.
orally effect cure. To do this make
a strong infusion of catnip or catnip
and hops mixed While this Is steep
ing have small stones heating in the
fire. Place the patient in a chair,
throwing a heavy shawl or blanket
over the head and letting it fall around
the person. Let them hold the basin
Of hot catnip, into which drop one Of
the hot stones. The basin should be
held as near the ear as possible and
the shawl securely fastened so the
steam will be kept inside. AS fast as
it cooks, drop another hot stone in the
basin, until relief is obtained Care
should be taken afterward about keep
ing the head well protected. Hot grid
dle-Cakes will often cure obstinate
cases. Stir the cakes up with wheat
flour, using considerable grease to fry
them In Bind a hot cake over the
ear and renew as often as it cOOls.

life as you possibly can. Try and keep
your health at any cost, even at the sac
rlfce Of pleasure.
Eyes to be attractive must be clear and
bright When the pupils are dull, and
the whites yellow, 1t shows the digestion
is out Of order. II is best then to con-
suit your doctor about your diet.
Kid gloves will wear better and last
longer IL they have been carefully put
on the first time. The hands should be
perfectly clean, dry and fresh, as 1t
spOlls gloves, especially new ones, to put
them on when the hands are damp or
warm.
Mouth washes are only valuable for
their cleansing and medical action, and
should not be used ignorantly. OF course,
a large variety may be used at different
times, but tlncture Of myrrh is always
a valuable tonic for the gums, and also
an enemy OF tartar
Bread will become musty very quickly
in damp warm weather II 1t Is kept in
close receptacle such as tin box or
stone jar, with tightly-ftting cover.
During the summer months an excellent
way to keep bread Is to sprinkle each
loaf with -four and tie 1t up in strong
paper bag and suspend the bag from
hooks fastened to the edge Of a high
shelf In the kitchen pantry. A loaf of
bread may be quickly freshened First
brush off the -four, and then rub the
sides of the loaf with soft cloth wet
in cold water and place it in hot oven
for five minutes.

The Uses Of Eggs,

The uses to which eggs may be put
are many aside from their employment
In cooking.
II is said that raw egg swallowed at
once when Ash bone is caught in the
throat beyond the reach Of the finger
will dislOdge the bone and carry 1t down.
The white Of raw egg turned over a
burn or scald is most soothing and cool
ing. II can be applied quickly, and will
prevent Inflammation, besides relieving
the stinging pain.
One OF the best remedies In case Of
bowel troubles is a partly beaten raw
egg taken at one swallow. 1t Is healing
to the infamed stomach and intestines,
and will relieve the feeling Of distress
Four eggs taken in this manner In
twenty-four hours will form the best
kind Of nOurishment as well as medicine
for the patient.
A raw egg is one Of the most nutri-
tiOus of foods, and may be taken very
easily II the yolk is not broken. A little
nutmeg grated upon the egg, few drops
OF lemon juice added, some chopped pars-
ley sprlnkled over 1t, or some salt and a
dash Of cayenne pepper vary the flavor
and tend to make 1t more palatable when
not taken as medicine.
The white Of raw egg is the most
satisfactory OF pastes, and is better than
any prepared mucilage or paste one can
buy. Papers intended to be put over
tumblers Of jelly and jam will hold very
securely and be alright IL dipped in the
white of an egg.

Notes and Recipes,

The woman who has learned to reduce
the dlsagreeables of life to a minimum
has learned the secret Of wise living.
When bathing the feet alone never
use cold water. Bran in footbath is
very pleasant and sOftening to the skin.
Biting the lips is very bad habit,
and one calculated to do a lot Of harm,
not only to the lips, but to the express
sion Of the face.
Early hours, cleanliness, fresh air and
exercise are the most potent factors in
establishing and maintaining a healthy
condition of body.
Remember the crust of bread is more
digestible than the soft part, and that
