Use More Water

The part that water plays in the In
ternal economy is a vesy important one.
Many chronic diseases are due to lack Of
sufficient fluid. which is necessary to
carry off the waste matter Of the different
organs. A clear complexion depends en-
tirely upon the active, liealthful state Of
the excretory organs.
Water aids in assimaating the food.
which must be reduced to a liquid before
Il Is digested.
The body should be thoroughly flushed
daily in order to stimulate the organs to
proper activity. When they become tor
pid "a large part Of their work is forced
upon thetsldn, thus causing variety Of
blemishes, such as plmples blotches and
sallownes.
Water should be taken between meals.
At least a quart a day IS necessary TO a
proper flushing Of the internal organs
The more that is drunk the better for thC
general health.

sion was at first n mystery, but later IL
was found that the she'll which was be-
lieved 10 have been harmless had ex-

tive TO the cause of the accident is that

rs Remove Stains

Stains should always he removed at
once if possible and always before the
article has been washed, for soap and
water have a. tendency to fix them, thus
making it very difficulty to remove
them. With colored garments the re-
suits are more or ivss unsatisfactory,
for as a rue, what removes the stain
will also remove the color.
Fresh tea and coffee stains can be
easily removed by holding the articla
over a basin and pouring boiling water
through the stains. Other meth DDS are
to rub the stains quickly with lemon
Juice OF to steep the articles IN bOrax
water.
Fruit and wine stains should be
rubbed with salt and dipped several
times into boiling water. Care should
be taken to remove all the salt from
the fabric. Tar stains should be rubbed
with paTraffin and paint stains with
paraffin or turpentine. Fresh oil paint
stains will also yield to Lfebuoy soap
and water.
For grease stains a hot iron and
biotting paper is a simple and efiectual
method.
Ink can be removed by soaking the
stained article in cool boiled milk. Milk
can be used on colored garments.
Mildew is very difficult to remove.
One method is to rub the spots with
lemon juice and then with salt; an
oher is o we them with warm water,
rub on little soap and sprinkle with
nO,Wdered French chalk and salt. Dry
in the sung and repeat the treatment if
necessary.
If these methods fail bleaching water
can be resorted to. A simple bleaching
water is made by boiling a teaspoontul
of borax in a quart of water A very
strong one is made by mixing one ounce
OF chloride of lime and one ounce Of
washing soda and pouring over the
mixture a quart of boiling water Stir
we'll and let it stand for a day before
using. Strain through a fine muslin and
bottle.

Opposes Large Families

Mrs. Mary A. Livermore, of Boston,
the noted suffragist, lecturer and wom-
ans rights woman generally put herself
on record as being opposed to the recent
" expressed opinion regarding large fam
lilies Of President Roosevelt. No doubt
many women are of her opinion but are
too reticent to air their views in public.
Mrs. Livermore says;
"We need to listen more to talk about
the culture of fathers and mothers than
I'VE do to a child. There are men and
women who are unfit to be the parents of
|children. In many cases it is better to
take children away from their natural
parents. 1t would not be race suicide If
we were TO have homes into which only
two or three children were born, quality
and character signifying more than a
|honse."
