physician has discovered that it is
healthy to yawn; he goes further and
advises artificial yawning in cases of sore
throat, buzzing of the ear, catarrh and
similar troubles. The process is said to
be as efficacious in It's way as gargling,
with which operation it should be COM
bined.
In preparing almonds for sailing, care
should be taken that they do not remain
too long in the blanching water. Boiling
water is often poured over the almonds
and the bowl left untouched in the press
of other preparations. The hot water
draws out the bitter, prussic acid taste
of the skin, and if the nuts are left to
cool in the water they will reabsorb it..
If this carelessness has taken place, rinse
the nut meats with boiling water after
the skin comes off.

Here Is a recipe for clam or oyster

all lovers of these delicious bivalves serv-
ed up in this form. To two dozen clans
add one-half pound picked pork cut in
dice, four potatoes cut in small pieces,

clans, fry the pork out thoroughly, but
do not brown. To all these add one quart

No matter how careful q housekeeper
may be in keeping her cupboards, pantry,
closets and bed rooms clean, insects Of
some kind will occasionally make their
appearance, and If not promptly disposed
of, will multiply with great rapidity. An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound Of
cure, hence every housekeeper should en-
deavor to prevent the assault of insects
by using some preventive remedy.
A reliable remedy to prevent n de-
stroy the red and black ants is to sprinkle
ground cloves around their haunts.

plates and set on the floor in the evening.
The next morning the plates will be COW
cred with dead cockroaches. Reset the
plates every evening until the ~cockroaches
are all destroyed.
