In this day of lace on everything the
maid or matron who has it at her
throat, at her wrists and on every con-
ceivable part of her gown has indeed
to be millionaire to keep it fresh and
clean, says the New York American.
The more costly and delicate of laces
the wise woman takes to professional
lace cleaners when 1t becomes discol-
ored or soiled. This, however, is not
necessary with the inexpensive and
coarse laces that adorn everyday cos
tunes. These may be cleaned at home,
and the task Of doing 1t is not a labori-
GUS one. To clean lace properly it
should be spread out on a fresh piece
of white paper and covered with cal
cined magnesia. This should be placed
thickly upon the filmy lace. Another
bit of paper should be placed over it,
and then 1t should be laid away with
something heavy upon 1t to press out
all the lines and creases. After two
or three days it will be perfectly
cleansed, and a gentle little shake will
scatter the powder, and the delicate
threads will come forth as fresh and
clean as when first woven.

How Aches and Pains Can BE Re

How Aches and Pains Can BE Ro-
Iieved by Hot Water.
When tired, drink hot water as a
tonic. When hot and thirsty drink it
as cooler, for 1t never disappoints,
says the Philadelphia Press.
Headache almost instantly yields to
the simultaneous application of hot
water to the feet and back Of the neck.
A strip of flannel or towel folded
several times lengthwise and dipped in
hot water, then slightly wrung out and
applied to the neck Of child suffering
with an acute attack Of Group will usu-
ally relieve the sufferer in the course Of
ten minutes if the flannel is kept hot.
A towel folded, dipped in hot water,
quickly wrung out and applied quickly
over the seat Of pain will in most cases
promptly relieve
There is no domestic remedy that so
promptly cuts short congestion Of the
lungs, sore throat or rheumatism as
hot water when applied promptly and
thoroughly.
Many eminent psychologists call at
tention to the power Of fruit juices to
kill disease germs. Lemon juice and
apple juice are especially mentioned,
the one containing citric acid and the
other malic acid. Cholera germs are
killed in fifteen minutes by either, and
typhoid germs in half an hour.
If lemon be squeezed into a glass
of water containing cholera germs, the
water may be drunk with perfect safe
ty If allowed to stand fifteen or twenty
minutes A fruit diet will cleanse
the stomach and the alimentary canal
and drive off many of the germs that
cause disease.

this is one reason why 1t Is so difficult
