DIR. Wendell C. Phillips talked to the
members of the Rainy Day Club lately,
and told his auditors that there was as
much danger in dressing too warmly
as in wearing too thin clothes. He told
of a boy with whom he went to the
district school in his youthful days. The
boy was one of those who wore the
old-fashioned comfortable. He had sew
eral yards Of it wrapped around and
around his throat, and in spite of II or
because of it, as the doctor said, ne
was continually suffering from COLDS
and catarrh. This is a temperate ell
mate; and we must dress for it. DR..
Phillips has a great deal of sympathy
for the little children he sees in the

wrapped in heavy cloaks or enveloped
in thick carriage robes on warm days,
suffering from heat and with no means
of helping themselves. Harden the
children" he says, ''even take some lit
tie risk in doing so. Don't keep the
children in because it is cloudy; let
them go out between showers, and they
will be all the better for it.
But the feet of both women and chill
6ren should be we'll protected; colds are
more often taken from unprotected feet
and ankles than in any other way, and
women are careless about this They
swathe their necks and bodies in over
warm garments and inadequately clothe
the feet. They should wear nearly as
heavy boots as the men, calfskin, and
have two pairs, to be worn on alternate
days, and the result will be a great saw
ing in health and shoe leather.
A raspberry cake that a good house
keeper recommends is made by cream
ing butter in the quantity Of the weight
of three eggs and beating with it the
same weight of crushed white sugar.
Add the same quantity of sifted flour, a
teaspoonful of baking powder, and two
large tablespoonfus of raspberry jam
The eggs are then quickly beaten in,
and the whole is baked in a shallow
cake mould.
A statement which is going the
rounds of the press to the effect that
even comb-honey was not above sus-
picion of adulteration, is contradicted
by those who are in position to- know.
In the statement referred to, it was al
legged that the cells were initiated in
Daraff1n. When" says an expert, 1.-THE
delicate texture and fragile nature OF
honey comb, as made by bees are real
lied, it will be easy TO understand that
it is a mechanical impossibility to make
an article in imitation of it that cam
not be readily detected. The limit OF
mechanical ingenuity up to the pres
ent time seems to have been reached
when the septum, or base of cells, is
made of wax on which the bees will
construct cells and complete the comb.
This is called foundation by the trade.
and it is made so thin that it can
scarcely be detected from the natural
septum made by the bees Paraffin
however, is never used for this pur-
pose, because this wax melts at lower
temperature than bees-wax. The heat
of the colony will melt it, and therefore
ruin not only the foundation but the
product as well. 1t is also impractic-
able to assert that glucose syrup is fed
to bees and by them stored in the
comb. Bees will not touch glucose
syrup unless starving, and then, OF
course, they are not in proper condi-
tion to store honey" This opinion is
from an authority, and may reassure
the housekeeper that when she buys
honey in the comb she may reasonably
expect to get something gathered from
flowers by bees. Honey, it is vel
known, possesses nutritive and medici-
nal qualities, and it is the opinion o1
this same expert that if more honey
and less cane sugar and candy were
eaten by children, there would be fewer
intestinal andkidney diseases.
