Household Suggestion.

Onions, which are regarded by food
authorities as one of the most valuable
vegetables that we have, are unfortu-
nately also found by many: persons
very difficult to digest A suggestion
that has been tested, it's giver says, by
long experience, and tried by many per-
sons with success, is to add a little
sugar to the onion salad to prevent any
discomfort after eating it. Anything
which will encourage the consumption
OF onions is to be recommended.
Physicians say that they are wonderful
rejuvenators, and possess as we'll re-
markable healing powers. The raw
Bermuda onion is the variety that is
most palatable and the most efficient,
and if, with a little sugar, it is also
easily assimilated, the knowledge be-
comes valuable.
It is not generally known to what use
the lemon may lay claim to: We find
in the lemon juice an acid which is
thoroughly wholesome and agreeable.
It's use is not confined to the kitchen in
flavoring our pies, cakes and sauce, or
for ices and iced tea, but we can find it
useful in the laundry in removing ink
stains, with salt. Then on the toilet
table, to remove stains from the hands,
and a few drops in little water to
cleanse the mouth. Baked and the
pulp removed and made very sweet re-
lieves tightness and hoarseness when
suffering from cold. The juice of
one-half of a lemon in one-half glass
of cold water will kill germs that may
be contained in water cholera and ty->
plus and other deadly bacilli. In hot
countries lemon juice is largely used
as a drink in water and as disinfect-
ant, instead Of carbolic acid, and it Is
used to soften and whiten the skin,
and in some instances is given in rheu-
matte affections and internal trouble.
There is no other fruit to compare to
the lemon in utility. And the price is
within the reach of all.
Save all old silk handkerchiefs. Vari-
ous are the uses they can. be put to.
