HOME REMEDIES.

Every mother should be familiar
with simple home remedies which can
be used in times of need. It is not
pleasant to be always dependent on a
physician to ease every ache and pain.
10 cure a ringworm rub the spot
with milk from milkweed, which
grows wild. In few DAYS if this

excellent for severe pain in the back
of the neck, and has been used with
good results for breaking up influenza.
To break up a hard cold at the
start, take hot mustard bath and go
to bed, being careful not to take more
cold afterward.
Flaxseed tea with plenty of lemon
juice and loaf sugar is very soothing
to sore lungs, and will often cure
hard cough.
Equal parts of honey, olive oil and
pure homemade wine made from
grape juice or currants is both sooth-
ing and Strengthening for a bad
cough.
Physicians are advocating the use
of pure olive oil for weak lungs. 1t
bids fair to take the place of codliver
oil, and is thought by many pleasan-

Olives, as food, are considered
very strengthening for those with
lung troubles.
A glass of water drank half an
hour before each meal, and just be-
fore retiring will frequently regulate
the bowels so those troubled with
constipation will be all right. Ripe
fruit, as apples, peaches, pears and
grapes, is a great regulator of the
bowels. Those who suffer from long
standing constipation will do we'll to
take tablespoonful of bran before
each meal.
There is no better cure for bilious
ness than honest tea, or that made
from German chamomile. Drink
freely Of it for several mornings. Lem
onade and any acid fruit are also ex-
cellent for biliousness, as we'll as raw
or cooked tomatoes.
To remove the inflammation caused
by running a nail into the hand or
foot, apply piece of salt pork i'm

HONORs PAID TO A GENUINE HEROINE.
The great crowd which filled the
Life-saving Society stepped on the
stage and began to address a pretty,
modest-looking young woman who
was the center of an admiring group.
"Miss Strongarm," he began, I'VE
have assembled here this evening to
make a public presentation of the
ninth medal that has been awarded to
you by the Sixth Avenue Life-saving
Society. Within three years you
have saved nine lives, and under con-
ditions which would have daunted the
bravest of the life-savers along our
coast. Great applause. Your last
great feat was like the others. There
was the usual terrible crush at Bea
gle's spring opening thousand
women were rushing for the millinery
bargain counter man, unaccustom-
ed to his surroundings, got beyond
the life line-that is to say, he was
caught in the whirling mass of bar
gain hunters and then, in the critical
moment, when this poor man, batter
ed and crushed, was about to sue
cumb and be trampled to death, you
rushed in, dashed aside one after an
other of the crowd and carried him
triumphantly into the open air.
Long continued applause.
Truly, indeed, do you deserve the
title engraved on this medal:
"Heroine of the Bargain Coun-
ter and this society feels that in
honoring you, it is honoring itself"
AS the heroine stepped forward to
receive the medal, the applase was
deafening.
