How TO Water Flowers.

The most particular thing in the
house culture Of plants is the water
ing. So many people think they are
doing their duty If they give their
plants a little water every day. This
is altogether wrong. When you find
your plants dry they need water.
This can be easily learned by tapping
the pot with the knuckles and getting
a ringing sound from dryness and a
dead sound when it is wet enough, OF
by rubbing the soil on the top of the
pot with the finger; if it feels moist
and sticks to the finger, it is wei
enough, but If it feels dry and slightly
dirty, it wants water. Water it well
and be sure the water has gone
through the pot. BY half watering
that is not giving it enough water tC
go to the bottom, the roots are drawn
to the top for a drink instead of going
down, where they will get both food
and drink. Never let plants stand in
water either in saucers or jardinleres,
as it will in most instances induce
decay of the roots, which will be
fatal to the plants.-Montreal Her

Wanted--An Appetite.

Don't be without one. Why go to
the dining room under protest. Don't
try to buy appetite at a dollar bot
tie. Earn it. One should enjoy eating
and he will, If he has a natural appe-
tite, such as comes to one who works
for it.
The outdoor life creates appetite,
and cold morning bath awakens the
brain, lungs, heart, liver, stomach and
the appetite. An ice bag over the
stomach for half an hour before meals
is good natural appetizer for a bed
ridden invalid
Another method is hot application
over the abdomen for five minutes, fol-
lowed by an ice rub over the same
parts for one or two minutes. This
not only produces an appetite but
stimulates the flow of the digestive
juices and thus furnishes the ability
to digest.

Danger In Alcohol in Cold Weather.

Danger In Alcohol in Cold Weather.
When the skin is warm 1t is red or
pink in color. The cold air of winter
causes the skin to become whittier in
color. This is due to the contraction
of the blood vessels Of the skin. The
amount Of blood passing through the
skin is decreased, and the amount Of
heat thrown off into the cold air is
likewise decreased. II glass Of wine
or brandy Is taken the skin becomes
red. The sensation Of warmth pro-
duced is delusive. The victim i'm.
AGNES himself warmer. Indeed, the
skin is warmer, but at the same time
a great increase is observed in the
heat thrown off from the skin The
result is an enormous loss of heat to
the inside Of the body.
DR.. Parkes, the eminent English
sanitarian, says: "All observers con-
denim the use of spirits, and even of
wine or beer, as preventive against
cold" The names Of DR.. King, DR..

may also be cited as holding to this
opinion. In the last expedition in
search of Sir John Franklin the whole
crew were teetotalers.
Prof. Miller states that the Russian
military authorities "interdict its use
absolutely in the army when troops
are about to move under extreme
cold, part of the duty Of the corporals
being to smell carefully the breathsof
each man on the morning parade, and
to turn back from the march those
who have INDUCED in spirits. 1t having
been found that such men are pc
cuIiarly subject to be frostbitten and
otherwise injured"
DR.. Carpenter is authority for the
statement that the Hudson Bay COM
pany has, for many years, entirely ex-
cluded spirits from the fur countries
Of the north, over which they have
exclusive control, ito the great i'm
provement," as Sir John Richardson
observed, "of the health and morals

The vogue of the ombre or shaded
colorings is one that increases as the
season reaches its height, and is pref
tily exemplified in this hat of shaded
browns in velvet and chenille, trimmed
with long full plume showing the

The crown is high. the brim so wired
that it may be bent to the most becom-

New Gowns.

Many of the gowns are built along
nouveau art lines and the woman OF
the season looks precisely as though
she had stepped off calendar. She
is in reds and browns, bronzes and
sepias, and her tones are beautiful to
behold.
She dresses in etamine and heavy
canvas, the new woman in brown, and
she selects the glossy face cloth which
looks like brown satin and the wonder
full novelty brown goods, wooden and
soft and easily draped.
Then one sees the woman Of brown
in camel's hair with the long hairs
very visible on the surface, and in the
camel's hair there are stripes, and
spots and shot portions to give 1t a
contrast And one also sees the cam
els hair goods with plain dots, silky
and shiny, and the camel's hair which
has smooth spots of wooden and nov
city figures. There are ever so many
new varieties this season, just as
there are in Examines and brown
serges.
But most popular of all in New York
is the miroir velvet. 1t comes so thin
that it makes an admirable reception
gown, equaling in elegance anything
that could be produced.
But there are cheaper velvets that
are pretty and fashionable and pretti-
est of all in brown are the crushed
velvet suits which are soft in tone,
rich in texture and admirable for max
ing up purposes.

Early in October there was held in
st. Louis, at the Hall of Congresses,
in connection with the Worlds Fair,
the American International Congress
Of tuberculosis, which consisted Of
representatives gathered from all
parts of the American continent, to
discuss the best means of preventing
and curing this dreadful disease. Spe-
cial attention was given to the subject
Of prevention. The congress was in
session three days. Many important
questions were discussed and commit
tees were appointed for the purpose
of carrying forward an active cam
paign against this most terrible of all
the foes of human life. The commit
tee of publicity was charged with the
duty Of organizing a proper educa-
tional campaign in connection with
Chautauquas, conventions, associa-
tons and fraternities of various sorts,
for the purpose of placing in the
hands of the public information re-
lating to the best means of preventing
and combating this scourge. Those
who are especially interested in this
phase Of the question should address
for further information the American

DIET for ruharculosls.

The tubercular patient needs pro-
teids, or tissue-building foods, but only
just the amount which can be asslmi-
lated and utilized by the body. Any
excess must be treated like poisons,
and hence must be burden to both
liver and kidneys, and waste Of vital
energy.
Proteids must be taken, not only In
moderate quantity, but In the purest
form possible, The vegetable kingdom
presents proteids in combination with
fats in great abundance, and in nuts,
which can be made easily digestible
by thorough chewing or by proper
preparation.
The yolks Of eggs afford also a com
bination of fats and proteids which Is
admirably suited to the tubercular pa
tient. Milk, especially rich milk, is
another food adapted to this class OF
patients when 1t does not produce
"blliousness" through indigestion.
Many tubercular patients have dila-
tatlon of the stomach. Such cases
must avoid milk. Nearly all can take
nuts II the right kind is selected and
great care is taken with the mastlca-
ton. Pecans, hickory nuts, almonds
and filberts, pinons, or pine nuts are
the best varieties. Half pound of
nuts may be taken daily by the con-
sumptive, not only without harm, but
with great benefit, II combined with
other foods. A diet consisting of nuts,
well-toasted bread and fruits is a per
feet dietary for the tubercular patient.
The yolks Of a dozen eggs may be
used in place Of nuts.

Ruttermllk for consumptlyes.

Buttermilk is an excellent food for
tubercular patients. It may be taken
in the quantity Of one to three quarts
day, according to the amount of
other food taken. The patient may
take two meals, three meals, or four
meals day, according to the quantity
Of food taken at each meal, and the
kind Of food. A safe rule is never to
allow a consumptive to go hungry. He
should eat whenever he has appetite,
so that the full digestive power of the
stomach may be utilized in furnishing
the body with constructive material,

To Serve Mayonnalse.

A good idea for serving tartar sauce
or mayonnaise is to put it in little
lemon basket"-that is, half a lemon
nearly cleaned out and then filled with
the sauce. One of these should go to
each guest. The great advantage in
this is that the sauce does not get
melted by being put on the hot plate
with the fish, fried oysters, etc. II
the fish is served on a platter 1t may
be surrounded with these little lemon
baskets" II 1t is served from the
panty a "lemon basket" should be
placed on each plate.-Harper's Bazaar.

Rohhln for Dental Floss.

Something new in little pocket
convenience is in the small, fiat bob
bin of dental floss. This everyone
knows, but he may not know of the
improvement added recently-a small
finger set on at one side of the bob
bin. When the floss is pulled out the
end is caught in this finger, making
a taut stretch of it, which can be used
without the awkwardness that is ex'
perienced when the end is held in the
fingers.

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.

Movement to Suppress tuberculosis.
Science has demonstrated beyond
question that pulmonary tuberculosis
)r consumption of the lungs is both a
,reventable and a durable disease.
This disease is produced by germs
which find their way into the body
through abrasions of the skin, through
the mucous membrane Of the mouth
or the intestines and through the
lungs. The germs. of the disease are
found in the sputum of persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis. The germs
are also found in the flesh and milk Of
animals suffering from the disease.
The germs are found nearly every
where. These germs cannot live in
the tissues of a thoroughly healthy
person, as the cells of the body are
capable of destroying the germs, but
when the body is weakened by indi-
gestion, by the habits Of breathing
foul or bad air, by anything which i'm
pairs the health. the tissues lose their
power to destroy germs so that when
they enter the body they find lodge
ment, grow and develop and tubercu-
losis Of the lungs, bowels or of some
other part is the result.
Statistics show that, at least $4,000
persons die OF this disease in this
country annually. Four or Ave times
that number of persons are sick all
the time with this disease. Tubercu'
losis kills more than any other NAL
ady. Experience has shown that the
disease is not incurable, as has been
generally supposed, but is very cur
able malady If taken in time, and II
the right treatment is applied. Not
less than one hundred thousand lives
could be saved every year by the ap-
plication of proper means for prevent
ing and curing this terrible disease.
