A TAINTED BREATH.
WHAT CAUSES 1T AND HOW 1T
SHOULD BE TREATED.

The Trouble Is the Result of De-
Tract, and the Remedy liz Pure Liv-
ing, Pure Habits and Cleanliness.
Any one inflicted with bad breath,
1nstead of using disinfectant washes or
gargies, should try to discover the
cause of the bad breath. 1t is almost
ridiculous to keep using disinfectants
while the cause of the fetor continues
to operate. Suppose any one We're to
notice bad smell in the back yard.
Instead of finding out exactly what the
cause Of the bad smell is, he would sim
ply throw a disinfectant around, or de-
odorizer, In order to stop or disguise
the smell. Such procedure would be
silly indeed. No one but sanitary
officer would do such thing
A bad breath indicates some decom-
position going on somewhere in the
respiratory tract. 1t may be hollow
tooth filled with decomposing material,
or the teeth may be SO jammed to-
gether as to inclose portions of the
food, which ferment and fill the mouth
with noSious gases.
The trouble may be in the posterior
mares. One or both nostrlls may be
stopped up. This leaves an unventi-
lated space just back of the nostril. in
the upper portion of the throat. The.
want of ventilation allows the mucus
to accumulate and decompose, which
forms n very fetid gas.
Or, again, the trouble may be caused
by enlarged tonsis These sometimes
assume globular form, with deep
creyices and seams which retain mu-
Gus. Again, 1hucus collects behind and
above an ENLARGED tonsil, where 1t is

Pauline suggested with what grace she

ODD SCRAP BASKET.
ceptacIe for Sewing-ROOm
Odds and Ends.

A pretty style of scrap basket, in
vogue 20 years ago, has been revived,
says the Brooklyn Eagle. The basket
is made of heavy cardboard, or light
bookbinder's board. 1t is narrow at
the base, the four pieces composing
it widening from a line of about six
inches to width of about IL inches
at the top. The basket is about 10
or II inches high. The four pieces
are pierced at the side edges, at the
top, middle and bottom and joined
together with ribbons. A bottom is
then put in the basket and glued fast,
and the sides shellacked. In oil
colOrs, after background has been
put on, either white or some single
tint, or else a shaded coloring of
gray or olive decoration of flowers
are applied. One such basket seen
recently, showing red and white
fuchsias against a white background,
was effective, especially as it was
tied with red ribbons. Another
basket had shaded olive background
and delicate green branches and
foliage outlined against this, on
which the yellow hammer" was
painted on different panels, with
wings outspread. A variation of this
design shows the same bird sitting
sedately beside his feathered mate.
A snow background, with delicate
tracery of branches, for third basket,
depicted robin redbreasts on differ
ent panels. Purple clematis entwined
a fourth basket, adorned with purple
bows, and sepia toned basket, show
ing quaint heads painted upon it, was
furnished with cadet blue bows.

bottom wires first, the full length OF
the fence if straight, and staple them
in place to the other end, or corner

them slip. Draw them straight and

FOR THE CHAFING DISH COOK.
Some SavOry Dishes That VIII Be
Found Very PaIatabIe for
Luncheon.

II the dining7room is to be the
scene of a chatting dish feast use a
bare table, with a handsome luncheon
cloth or linen centerpiece for floral
decorations to rest on. A dolly
should be at each cover, with plate,
knife and fork and whatever glasses
are necessary. Make the table as in
viting as possible. A little smilax or
greenhouse asparagus is inexpensive
and adds to the attractiveness of the
supper, says the Kansas City Star.
Authorities differ as to the mixing
of Welsh rarebit. Each man is a
law unto himself and is quite sure
that he makes a better rarebit than
his neighbor. The following recipe
is for six persons: One pound of
cheese, as rich and new as possible,
cut into small bits. Place a table
spoonful of butter in the chatting
dish. When hot add the cheese; as
this melts stir all the time. Season
with plenty of salt and cayenne pep
per and a pinch of dry mustard.
When it is well heated through and
cooking, add about half a pint OF
beer. Watch carefully and stir con-
stantly, and when thoroughly melted
serve on thin slices of hot toast or
square biscuits.
Scotch woodcock is another savory
dish. First prepare the toast, cutting
the bread thin and toasting an even
brown. Butter when hot and spread
with anchovy paste, leaving it on a
hot plate to soak into the toast. Cut
bacon in the thinnest possible slices.
Have the chatting dish hot, and put
in the slices of bacon. AS soon as
they look transparent turn them
over, and as the edges curl they are
done. Put a slice on each bit OF
toast. While this is being prepared
scrambled eggs should have been
made in another blazer and poured
over the anchovy toast and bacon,
and the Scotch woodcock is complete.
Four eggs are enough for six per-
sons. Break them into a dish and
beat. until as light as possible. Add
a cupful of milk or cream and sea-
son with salt and pepper to taste.
Have the chatting dish hot and place
in it tablespoonful of butter. Pour
in the eggs and stir constantly.

be in such a rush during the winter
months. The farmer who does not

literature can be had at a very low

half dozen good agricultural books,
and three or four subscriptions to good
papers, and you are prepared to

vested. Now is a good time to dc
that job of work on your house, or
barn, which you have been neglecting
for so long. All improvements done
about the place will more than pay for
themselves in better looks of the
place and conveniences. You should
enlarge your barn so as to be able to
take care of plenty Of hay and forage,
for that is the only way to keep up the
fertility of the soil, and each farmer
should consider his farm as his bank
account, and his crop after expense
is paid, his per cent. But most farm
ers act as though they thought they
were miners and got their living by
digging. They are not scientific; they
don't keep up with the times. They
do thing just so because father did
it that way. But that will never do;
civilization is on the forward march,
