ChnmnnEne and Cancer.

There is a remarkable coincidence be-
tween the spread Of cancer and the
largely increased daily consumption OF
effervescent wines and waters among
the wealthy classes. Prior to the six

sionally, nor were aerated waters con-
sumed in anything like the quantity nor
with the frequency that they now are.
These beverages, and indeed all efer-
vescing drinks, owe their sparkle to the
carbonic acid gas which they contain.
My contention is that the upper classes

MAYONNAISE
MAKES NEW USE
FOR OLD CUPS

The ingenious woman has discover
ed a new use for her old-fashioned
cups and odd cups. They have long
been good for nothing in particular on
account of their large size and be-
cause they have no handles. Yet these
big cups are exactly the shape of many
of the mayonnaise dishes, and may be
used to advantage for this purpose.
With the preaching of the doctrines
of salads by the apostles of good
health, there has been an increasing
use of lettuce, celery, tomatoes, Gu
cumbers and vegetables of different
kinds served cold with dressings. In
consequence, the mayonnaise cup has
become a staple article of table serv-
ice. Many people prefer the French
dressing to the richer mayonnaise;
some a larger quantity than sothers. 1t
is advisable to have a dish of dressing
upon the table instead of dressing the
individual salad beforehand.
The dishes made for holding may
onnaise are to be found in different
shapes. Some are oblong, like small
sauce boats with a fiat rather than
Topped handle at the end. Others are
round like cups. They will all hold per-
haps a half pint, and the saucers to
match are round or oblong, according
to the shape of the dish. The round
dishes are nothing more or less than
large cups.
The woman who makes the most of
everything, utilities cups that she has
or picks up at the bargain table, and
has an uD-to-date article of table serv-
ice with little or no expense.

Camphorated oil Is useful for rubbing

the oil, should be vein over the chest
when the patient is recovering from
a severe sore throat.
While ordinary sweet oil mixed with
turpentine is excellent for burns, 1t is
well to keep a bottle of collodion at
hand. This seems to relieve the small
burns, which make child and even an
adult so very nervous, more quickly
than anything else. Relief is the i'm
portant thing for these small burns and
the collodion forms coating over the
skin which effectually shuts out all air.
Keep the collodoin in a dark blue hot
tie away from the light, and well cork
