USES OF MISUNDERSTANDING
to a medical journal, long experience
has demonstrated buttermilk to be an
agent of superior digestibility. 1t is
indeed u true milk peptone; that is,
milk already partially digested, the
coagulation of the coagulable portion
being loose and flaky, and not of that
firm indigestible nature which is the
result of the action of the gastric
juices upon sweet cows milk. 1t is a
decided laxative, a fact which must be
borne in mind in the treatment of ty-
phoid fever, and which may be turned
to advantage in the treatment of ha-
bitual constipation. 1t is a diuretic,
and may be used to advantage in some
kidney troubles. 1t resembles Kou-
miss in it's nature, and, with the ex-
ception of that article, it is the most
grateful, refreshing and digestible OF
the products of milk. 1t is invalua-
BILE in the treatment of diabetes, either
extensively or alternately with skim
milk. In some cases of gastric ulcer
and cancer Of the stomach, it is the
only food that can be retained.

The Boys ROOM.

| SOLueWdy, Ill ScIIliuS IuS houSC oi'
ter the spring cleaning, the boys room
is too frequently the one which is kept
bare of decoration and beauty.
think this is mistake. Boys appre-
ciate fine distinctions, and if the
amenities of life are left out in dealing
with them they may grow to be fine,
manly, sturdy fellows, but gentle,
manly 5oys-never. But boy who
has room which has been specially
prepared Cor him, and whose tastes
have been consulted in the decoration
and furnishings of it, learns to take
pride in it. He feels that it is his
sanctum. Here he gathers together
the treasures most dear to his boyish
heart, and in the accumulation his ma.
ture finds free plays. 1t is an inter.
esting thing to visit boys room, OF
perhaps I should say boys rooms
For different members of the sex vary
greatly in their tastes and habits. II
it is ever your fortune to 60 through
the dormitories of large boys board
ing school, or yet those of college,
you will readily understand this.
There is the room of the neat boy,
whose effects are arranged with pre-
cision there is the one of the careless
boy, whose room is veritable liberty
hall. There is the room of the young
dude, whose arrangement of neckties
around his looking glass alone would
proclaim his natural bent. Then the
occupant of this one has fine artistic
tastes the dweller in that one is very
fond of dogs, while across the hall is
the sanctum of the boy who is very
fond of games. There is no end to
the variety of the genus boy. And it
is wise mother who studies her boys
taste and fixes his room accordingly.
The idea that anything is good
enough for boy, housekeepers should
eliminate from their minds. Anything
is not good enough for boy. To be
trained into refined habits boys need
refining influences. And mother
can do much toward moulding the
bent of her young sons mind by suit
ably furnishing and decorating his
room. A rack for hooks, with his pet
volume upon it, few good pictures,
ind such appliances for physical COM
fort and cleanliness as the young
human animals need to keep them
licked into shape ought to be in the
room of every boy. Boys belonging
to any but wealthy families must clean
their own boots, brush their own
clothes and look after their toilet ap-
pliances themselves. Let all boys be
provided with necessary means for
doing this. Let them have their black
ing boxes in convenient receptacle.
And give them plenty of whisk brooms.
A set of shelves over the washstand,
on which is placed small bottle of
ammonia, eau de cologue, pumice stone
and bowl of yellow meal, will aid a
boy in keeping his hands in presenta-
BILE condition. All the little habits of
cleanliness have doubtless been ac-
quired in the nursery before boy is
old enough to aspire to the dignity of
room. Yet some of the neat ways
will not be kept up by many boys un-
less their surroundings are favorable.
A boy usually takes much pride in
a nice room. He enjoys cleanliness
and order, and is not one whit behind
his sister in the appreciation of artistic
surroundings. Therefore, by all means
let him have them.

SAVING TOMATO SEEDs.-Let the
tomatoes become thoroughly ripe, put
them in a large jar and mash to
pieces. When the jar is one-half to
two-thirds filled with this pulpy mass,
fill to the brim with water, and let
stand a week or ten days. The pulp
and inferior seeds will all rise to the
top the good seeds sink to the bottom.
The water, when poured of, takes all
worthless substance with it, leaving
the seeds clean. They are then dried
and put away.
