HOW TO AVOID DYSPEPSIA.
Golden Rules For the Relief and
Cure of Indigestion.

Golden Rules For the Relief and
Cure of Indigestion.
All who suffer from poor digestion
should wear ten inch width of fan
mel bandage next the skin, pinned fair
ly tight round the body over the stom-
ach. No liver or digestive pills or pep
sin preparations help the stomach a
twentieth part as much as this flannel
prescription. A poor circulation in the
stomach, causing that chilly, ''miser-
able" feeling, is at the root of half the
indigestion that mortals are heir to.
That is why hot water drinking gives
relief. 1t helps the circulation. A fan
mel bandage worn day and night all
the year round cures the faulty blood
circulation of the stomach; consequent
ly it cures dyspepsia.
Five hours interval between meals,
avoiding fried foods, made dishes and
mixtures and observing three or four
'sLenten meals" in every week are
golden rules for good digestion.
A good dinner at night is necessary
for those whose pleasure or work keeps
LQem UP very ldt0. Out LOT OTuludTy
folk who dine at and go to bed about
1920 only light, wholesome repast
should be taken at the end of the day,
when the muscles and nerves are more
or less exhausted.
A ''tired stomach is weak stomach"
is golden rule to remember. Yet how
often one hears people say: 'I've been
rushing about all day and am tired to
death. l must have a big meal to
make up for it." You may put the big
meal into the stomach, but you cannot
make the stomach digest it.
A belief lives strong in the hearts and
minds of the majority of mankind, in
Guiding persons Of weak digestions,
that quick, brisk walk taken before
a meal gets up an appetite and helps
the stomach to digest the food. Now,
this is exactly what is doesn't do. Ex-
ercise spreads the blood throughout
the body. For the proper digestion of
food the blood is needed in the stom-
ach. Few realize this important fact.
After a long, exhausting walk, BIZ
cycle spin or any severe physical or
mental strain take good half hours
rest in a comfortable armchair or lying
on a sofa before you eat substantial
meal

CARE OF FURNITURE.
How to Clean and Keep 1t In Good
Condition.

HOW 10 CAe2n ana heeD H IN OOOU
Condition.
The care Of furniture woods is an
exceedingly interesting part Of the in
telligent housekeeper's duties. The
daily light busting must supplement
the weekly rubbing if the ''bIoom," in
this instance not desirable, is to be
kept away.
AS a rule, the use of oily restoratives
is to be deprecated, says a writer in
Harper's Bazaar. Unless applied by a
tireless arm and thoroughly rubbed in,
and thereafter the piece kept in perfect
polish by a daily rubbing, the oil is
sure to form a crust sooner or later
which is gummy to the touch and not
pleasing to the eye. For this reason
new furniture should be kept as long
as possible without the application Of
such restoratiyes.
Furniture which has been finished
with shellac or varnish, whether in
glossy or dull finish, should never be
cleansed with soap or water. Soap is
made to cut oily substances, and in the
performance of the service for which
it is made eats the oil out of the waxed,
oiled or shellacked surface it touches
and destroys it.
Where white spots appear on polish
ed surfaces from the dropping of iq-
uids or from heat the immediate appli-
cation of raw linseed oil will generally
restore the color. The oil should be
left on the affected spot for several
hours or over night. Alcohol will per-
form the service if applied at once to
rosewood or highly finished mahogany.
In each instance, when the color has
returned, the spot should be repolished
with a piece of cheesecloth moistened
with turpentine.

POINTS ABOUT TURTLES.
They Arc Not So Much Like One An

They Arc Not So Much Like One An
other as Many People Think.
In moist places in the fields and
meadows may be found the wood tor
toise, a sober sort of turtle of a brown
or reddish brown color above, the shell
having ridge in its middle along the
back, says Nature Study. Each plate of
the shell underneath has a black
blotch.
In mud holes and in small ponds, Of
ten resting on log or stone above the
water, one may almost always find the
painted turtle, which has the margin
of the shell marked red, while the shell
underneath is yellow. These turtles
are not so easily captured as the wood
turtles, for they are rather timid and
often slip into the water when ap-
preached, but with patience and in
genuity they can be outwitted at last
and one secured for examination.
1t will be rare good fortune to find
turtle at meal and see him hold his
food, sometimes with one fore foot,
sometimes with the other, but never
Will UOln dI OAOC, do (GllS anu 0OSO
often do.
After watching him for awhile try to
find whether he always draws his tail
in on the same side of his box house.
Experiment with the same turtle over
and over; then sometimes try other tur-
ties in the same way and find out for
yourself whether turtles vary in this
matter of hiding away their tails. This
is more important than you can mag
inc. If ali the animals and plants of
the same sort were always the same
there would never be any change in
the living world.
Count the toes on the fore feet and
on the hind feet, noticing whether
there are the same number all around.
AS you find other turtles, particularly
in different parts of the country, if you
travel about, or in such museums as
you can visit, see what differences you
can find in this matter of the number
and arrangement of turtles toes. 1t is
not so silly as it may appear to some
people. Notice also that some turtles
have webbed feet. to enable them to
swim the better.
Manage in some way to open the tur-
ties mouth and find whether it has
teeth, or only hard and rather sharp
cutting edges along the jaws. Touch
the eyes gently with small stick and
see the turtle draw a thin skin over
them. This is the third eyelid, the same
as in hens, pigeons and birds generally.
Notice that the feet and tail are COW
cred with scales; then some time exam
inc the foot of a hen or pigeon and see
that they are scaly also. In this mat
ter of the third eyelid and the scales
the birds and the turtles have features
in common Perhaps some time you
will learn how it happened and will
find it very interesting story Now

How to Test Eggs.

A new method of testing eggs for
their freshness has been communicated
to the Agricultural society of Saxony.
An egg plunged in water tends to rise
with more buoyance according to its
age, owing to enlargement of the emp
ty space at the thick end by evapora-
ton of water from the white; hence
the egg takes a different position in
the water. Fresh eggs remain hori-
zontal, ain egg three to five days old
makes an angle of 20 degrees with the
horizon, one eight days gives an angle
over 40 degrees, and at the end of four
teen days the angle is 60 degrees. An
egg three weeks old lies at 20 degrees.
One three months remains vertical, and
when it is older still it floats.

For luncheon or for a late supper
stewed lobster is a delicate dish. 1t is
not difficult to prepare, and if the lob
ster is boiled in advance it can be got
ready in few minutes. First extract
the meat from boiled lobster, cut it
up into small pieces and put in stew
pan. There should be just enough wa
ter to keep it from burning and to make
the gravy. Cook it slowly for five min
utes, and add one tablespoonful of but
ter, little pepper and salt and then
heat to boiling Pour it into a dish
and serve hot.

How to Destroy Cooking odors

If the cooking of the turnips, onions
or even the turkey has left the least
suggestion of its preparation in the
dining room, pour few drops of oil of
lavender in vase or bowl and half
fill with hot water. This gives de-
lightful freshness to the air, which is
most desirable when the house is stuffy
and doors and windows cannot be
thrown open at the last moment.

How to clean Ename1ed shoes

Enameled shoes can be kept in good
condition by washing them in sweet
milk. All dust and mud should first
be removed; then the shoes should be
thoroughly washed with the milk and
then wiped dry with soft cloth. This
will give them a polish almost equal to
new and will help them to retain their
smart appearance for a long time.
