day one Of his neigh bors brought him
a small bottle Of ChamberlainS

a few minutes the dose was repeated
The good effect of the medicine was
soon noticed, and within an hour the

HINTS FOR THE LAUNDRY.
How to Handle the Table Linen in
the Process Of Reno
vatiOn.

BY most housewives the ironing Of
table linen is a much-dreaded task, but
by using the following plan it may be-
come real pleasure: We all realize
how easily linen is drawn out of shape
when wet, and how hard it is to regain
if Tried in that condition. All this trou-
ole and exertion of pulling and stretch
ing may be avoided, if when the table
cloths are being hung upon the line the
selvages are folded evenly together and
pinned to the line, corners first, then the
sag, says Woman's Home Companion.
The edges must be stretched gently in
place, and held with pins not more than
u or IS inches apart. If pins and line
are scarce, the napkins may be hung
over the table-cloth, allowing the same
pins to do service for both. Shake out
all unnecessary folds and wrinkles that
may remain. When possible, leave out
until dampened by dew; if not, sprinkle
and fold in the usual manner. Let lay
at least an hour or so, then shake out,
and iron single. Begin at a corner. Iron
lengthways, then across, keeping the
linen squared. This is the secret of sue
cess. Turpentine in the starch produces
gloss.

Fow WE CATCH COLDS.
The old Notion About Exposure to
Drnughts Has been
Abandoned.

The London Hospital, medical maga-
zine. maintains that colds are caught, the
colds that have nasal catarrh for their
chief symptom, in the slime way that
other infectious diseases are caught
by the lodgment of germ, says the Bos-
ton Herald The character Of the germ
is not specified This is no new dis
covery or theory. Knowing persons have
long been careful about exposing them
selves to infection by persons who have
a cold, lest they "catch" it, The old no
ton that a cold is the result Of exposure
to draught or to cold air or getting the
feet wet has been abandoned, although
it is true that one may get chill in that
way which will afford some of the symp-
toms and sensations of the nasal catarrh
caused by a noxious germ. 1t is safer to
avoid close contact and all unnecessary
contact with a person who has this cold.
A horse that has been wintered out Of
ten catches a cold upon being brought
into the Stable in the spring. Expert
ments with disinfectants have shown
that It is not the warmth Of the stable
that induces the cold. Arctic voyagers
are frequently free of colds until their
return to a community where they pre-
vail. In the small rocky island Of ST.
Kilda. one of the western Hebrides,
colds are unknown except when It is vis-
tied by some vessel, and 1t is said the in
habitants can distinguish between the
different kinds Of colds brought by diff
ferent ships. There is much similar evil
dence relating to the subject, and the
Hospital declares that some source Of
infection must be present before It is
possible to catch cold" What appears
to be needed is a specific germicide which
may be used for prevention or cure.

HOUSEHOLD ADVICE.
bits Of Useful wisdom and small
Economics for the Busy
Housewife.


Old stockings cut down the seam
make excellent cloths for polishing fur
niture and floors, as well as soft iron
holders
Gasoline put on stains on white silk
waist, followed by as much lrnp mag
nesia as the gasoline will take up, well
rubbed IN, win generally remove the
stains.
When grease is spilled on the kitchen
table or floor. pour cold water on 1t at
once to prevent it soaking into the wood.
1t will quickly harden and can be lifted
with knife.
To remove SCOT from a carpet, sprin-
kle plenty Of fine salt over it and sweep
along the grain Of the carpet. Repeat
until every trace Of the spot is removed.
In making down pillows go over the
wrong side of the case with an iron
rubbed well with beeswax each time it
is applied to the cloth. to prevent the
down working through the cloth
Flat irons should be washed every
week and always kept in a clean, dry
place. Few housekeepers use sufficient
wax in ironing Do not allow your irons
to become red-hot, as they will never
again retain the heat.
When winds do blow and there is frost
in the air, put handkerchiefs, collars,
cuffs and all small articles in the wash
to dry in a pillow case The fabric is
spared whipping by the wind. they will
freeze dry and be quickly gathered for
ironing.
Buy a strip of asbestos cloth at the
hardware store, and use small squares
to interline your iron holders. Keep
good-sized piece fastened to your IRON
ing board to save the sheet and lay
square under the table pad where the
meat platter rests.
Do not try to sweep an invalid's room,
but wiring a clean cloth out of cold water
to which a few drops of ammonia have
been added, and carefully wipe the car
pet, mating or floor, turning and rims
ing the cloth and changing the water
as it gets dirty.
Cheese cloth or silkoline makes good
busters, and windows or box draperies
that are not longer ffesh and attractive
should be cut into squares and neatly
hemmed for the purpose. There should
be a sufficient number on hand that they
may be washed as regularly as the face
towels, as they last longer and give more
satisfactory service with frequent wash
ings.
A BRIDES trousseau includes the wear
ing apparel Except dresses) and all the
household linen necessary for two
years. A simple list of the latter in
cludes four tablecloths, with four or five
dozen napkins of different sizes; IL
sheets, with a dozen and half pillow
cases; two dozen towels, with dish and
kitchen towels, doilies. centerpieces,
bureau and wash stand scarfs and other
linen pieces needed about the house.
Teach the boys as well as the girls
the proper way to put the bedclothes to
air over two chairs in the morning, and
also occasionally give the boys a lesson
in simple cooking by having them help
prepare breakfast The lad who can
make a good cup Of coffee, broil a steak
and serve them will lose nothing Of
manliness, but may find the knowledge
useful in after life.
