Cucumber jelly is a great addition to a
salad OF lettuce and cucumbers. Peel
and cut up two cucumbers; add to them
a pin of water, a small slice of onion,
salt and white pepper to taste. Simmer

Experience has taught me that the
cold sponge bath is too much of a shock
after a bicycle ride, and is liable to

body vigorously with a coarse towel.
Next knead every muscle of the body
thoroughly with arnica, alcohol, bay
rum or, if you prefer a mixture. use
arnica mixed with a little turpentine, not

For raspberry jam select firm, large

Raspberry vinegar is very popular and
