To Clean Furs.

1t is impossible for furs to go
through a whole season without con-
tracing a quantity of dust and dirt.
A light colored fur of course shows
how soiled it is, but the dark ones, not
displaying their dirt, are allowed to
get dirtier and dirtier. Furs may
readily be- cleaned at home simply by
rubbing them with bran. Buy pound
OF bran, divide it in two portions and
place one in the oven to heat. Spread
the fur on paper on table and rub it
well all over with the cold bran. Theu
shake out the bran and brush the fur
with soft hat brush. When the rest
of the bran feels hot rub it evenly into
the fur in the same manner as before.
Shake it cut and brush it till the fur
is quite free from all bran and dust.
The satin lining of the fur will also
need cleansing Squeeze out clean
sponge in warm water and rub the
satin gently with it, but be careful not
TO let the satin get too wet. Rub it
dry with cloth and hang it in a warm
place to dry and then in cold draft

ABOUT FOOD FOR BABIES.
Simpler the Meals, Fewer Sweets and
Nicnacs the Better for
Children.

Too much food and too little nour.
ishment is doing great deal of harm
to many little ones. For infants who
must be bottled" milk diluted with
barley-water, a grain of salt and a
pinch of sugar added, given lukewarm
from an absolutely clean bottle and
nipple every two hours (never often
err, is, consider, a perfect food, and
4 fat, jolly baby will result. But COM
mon sense must be used, says a
writer in Woman's Home Companion.
A mother can soon tell whether her
baby cries from hunger or from over
feeding. Don't ask anyone; judge for
yourself
For children the simpler the meals,
the fewer sweets, candies and unneces-
saries, the better. Fer breakfast in
the summer give them bread and but
ter, milk, sliced tomatoes or any fresh
fruit but oranges. which would not
agree with milk. Pineapple is indiges-
tible, though the juice is good.
In winter give porridge, and be sure
it is well boiled and that too much
sugar is not added. The porridge may
be made from oatmeal, rolled wheat,
cracked wheat, hominy, corn=meal,
bread and milk or sliced bananas (no
purgative medicine is ever needed if
fruit be given in mornings when nee
essary). On Sunday an egg, poached
or boiled.
For dinner give any meat but pork,
soup or fish, all vegetables Except
CORN, a plain pudding, no pie or
boiled paste
For tea give bread and butter. milk
or cocoa. occasionally preserve, maple
syrup, rhubarb or honey.
The more moderation is exercised in
eating, the better. The food should be
plain, good and appetizing, and the
children should be given all they want.
If children's appetites are not spoiled
by sweets they will enjoy everything
put before them.

Old people often make the mistake of
coddling themselves too much, says a
physician in What to Eat. Thus they
cause weakening of the vital forces
before the advance of age has done so.
Nature never intended that a man
should be put into dollhouse at go and
kept there as a delicate plant. Too
much solicitude about the health of
such person may be the actual cause
of death. The vitality of the person
may be somewhat lessened at 60, but
the man or woman whose health has
received a fair amount of attention is
not by any means ready to be shelved
at that age. All that is required is a
little lessening of the burden of life
and little more care of the health.
