Best Way to Make Lemonade.

The best lemonade is made by boil
ing sugar and water together and add
ing the lemon juice after it is cold.
Use one pound of sugar to each quart
of water; add the juice of six lemons
and the desirek quantity of water at
serving time. Pineapple lemonade
may be made by boiling together one
quart of water, one pound of sugar and
the grated rind Of one lemon for five
minutes. Strain; when cold, add the
juice of six lemons, one pineapple pared
and picked into very small PARTICLES,
and either quart of water or a quart
of Apollinaris water. December Ladies

Because the milk-teeth must, in the
course of nature, fall out in few years
to give place to the permanent set, pa
rents are apt to assume that it is use
less to pay special attention to them
they think it will be time enough to in
struct the child in the care of the teeth
when he has his permanent set. This
is mistake, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
In the first place, it is never too early
to inculcate good habits in the child,
and his permanent teeth will always be
better taken care of if he has been
taught to brush the temporary set from
the time when he could use tooth
brush.
1t is also in the interest of the child s
aud mans good looks, comfort and
health that the milk-teeth should be
preserved as long as possible. One of
their most important functions is to
keep place in the jaw for the second
set, and if they fall ont too soon the
second teeth may also come too soon
and out of their regular place; then the
later teeth will not have room enough,
and will be twisted sideways OF pushed
in front of, or behind, the others in the
row.
The first teeth, like the second, are
required also for the proper mastica
tion of the food, which is all the more
necessary in the growing child, who
needs more nourishment than an oldel
person of twice his size.
Finally, the appearance of a child
with three or four open spaces among
his teeth is far from being attractive
and parents should be ashamed to SEE
them as consequence of their owl
neglect in not watching properly ovel
the preservation of the milk-teeth,
As soon as the teeth appear they
should be cleaned with soft brush, ant
when the child is old enough little
brush should be put into his hand, ant
he should be taught the use of it. AT
ter this the mother or nurse should SEA
that it is used regularly.
The mouth Of every child should b.
examined two or three times yeSr, ant
any little cavities should be stopped
with temporary filling Indeed, a
much care should be taken of the frs
as of the second set of teeth, for the,
are, in their temporary way, Just a
necessary to health, beauty and com
fort.

Those Who Endure

The pains of rheumatism should be re-
that cure for this disease may
be found in Hoods Sarsapsrilla. The
experience of those who have taken
Hoods Sarsaparilla for rheumatism,
and have been completely and perma-
nently cured, prove the power of this
medicine to rout and conquer this dis
ease. Hoods Sarsaparills is the One
True Blood Purifier and neutralizes the
acid which causes the aches and pains
ofrheumatism. This is why it absolutely
cures when liniments and other out
ward applications fail to give perma-
nent relief. Be sure to get Hoods.

A Noble Life.

It is indeed interesting and profitable
to read and study the lives Of noblemen
and women, and parents can not spend
money more wisely than in supplying
their children with good biographies of
great and good men who stand out
prominently in the worlds history, not
only as wise leaders but humble chris
tians. 1t is also interesting to note
how those excellent traits of character
descend from sire TO son through many
generations. Recently we received
from the Royal Publishing Company,
Richmond, Va, q new book entitled
"Robert Enward Lee, Soldier, Citizen
and Christian Patriot" One great ad-
vantage in connection with this book is
that it gives in brief, but charming
manner the history of the Lee family
for several hundred years, showing that
Richard Henry Lee, Robert E. Lee
and other master minds sprang from a
noble family whose history is as profit
able as it is interesting. Besides an
excellent biography of Gen. Lee and
account of his great military campaigns,
it tells how he won the hearts of his
soldiers and will retain through all ages
the affection of friends and foes. The
work also contains q large number of
interesting historical documents giving
the organization of the various armies,
together with brief biographical sketchs
of such men as Gen. Joseph L. John
ston, Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston
Gen. G. T. Beauregard, Gen. Bra1ton
Bragg, Gen. John B. Hood, Lieuten-
ant General A. P. Hill, Admiral Raphael
Semmes, Gen. John B. Gordon, Gen.
James Longstreet and Gen. J. H.
Reagon, This is the only biography
of Gen. Lee every published on this
plan, and it is having a very large sale.
The publishers advertise through our
columns for active agents, as it is sold
only by subscription. Those who dis
tribute such a work as this will be
exerting blessed influence on the ris-
ing generation besides reaping a rich
and profitable harvest financially.
