There is nothing better for the health
and strength than a brisk alcohol rub
after any sort of vigorous exercise. y
not only prevents colds. but invigorates

/ To can peaches. first select nice ripe
fruit, but not that which has become
! soft, says what to Eat Instead OF
wiping the fuzz off, as many do, wash
them in a pan of cold water, then lay
a soft cloth in the bottom of another
washing.
Now peel them with a reasonably sharp
knife so as not TO bruise them, as is
often lone when peeling with a dull knife.
Cut in halves and remove the pit.
Place the fruit in the cans with the
! open side down and put in as many as
you can without MASKING the fruit. Now
make a syrup of one-half cup of sugar
to each quart of fruit and pour over the
fruit while it is warm and fiji the cans
full.
Put some pieces OF thin boards or lath
in the bottom of the wash boiler and
set the cans upon them. then put warm
water enough in the boiler to come up
a couple of inches on the cans, put the
enough. If you cannot turn the cover
the boiler tight and boil one hour, then
remove the cans from the boiler; put
on the rubber and screw the top on
tightly.
Tip the can down on the side and turn
it around to be sure that it is perfectly
tight. If the least bit of syrup oozes
from beneath the cover it Is not tight
enough. II you cannot not turn the cover
any tighter. take some hard substance,
such as a knife handle, and press the
edge of the cover down firmly INTO the
rubber and try it again and again until
not one drop of syrup runs out, as some
times the edge Of the cover gets bruised
so that it does M fit down closely all
around.
If the work is lone thoroughly on
the start you will not have the least
trouble TO keep fruit any length of time
until it is wanted for use. Set the fruit
away in a box or cupboard in a reason
ably cool place. If the aavor of the
peach pit is liked, crack a few pits and
put the kernels in with the fruit before
cooking.
Most girls who have had baby rings
rave had trouble in removing them from
their fingers.
There is really no necessity for all
this ado about removing a tight ring"
said a downtown jeweler- "In that as
in anything else. the secret of success
lies in knowing how to do it. Here is a
recipe that I have found unfailing for
removing a tight ring, and there is no
painful surgical operation involved,
either. Thread a needle fiat in the eye,
using thread that is strong but not too
coarse. Then pass the head Of the needle
under the ring. Care, of course, must be
used IN this, and IT would be best to soap
the needle before beginning. The needle
having been passed through. pull the
thread through q few inches toward the
hand-so.' BY this tine the jeweler had
passed the needle and thread under the
ring on his own finger, and was prepared
to illustrate the little lecture. WRAP the
long end of the thread tightly and regu-
larry around the finger toward the nail
in this manner. Then take hold of the
short end and unwind it-so. The thread,
thus pressing against the rig. will gradu-
ally remove it, however tight or swollen
die finger.
1.-The requirements of health car be
counted on the fingers of one hand" said
a leading London physician. ''They are
good air. good food, suitable clothing,
cleanliness, and exercise and rest.
THE first two requirements affect the
blood, and as the blood circulates all over
the body, every part of the body. including
the brain, is affected. Fresh air affects
the purity of the blood. The freshest air
is out of doors. and 1t IS the duty OF
everyone who wishes to be healthy to
spend a certain amount of time in the
open air. Good food is not necessarily
expensive food.
Exercise and rest should alternate and
balance each other. 1t is quite possible
to take too much exercise, and this side OF
the question must be guarded against as
carefully as the other.
