EXTRAVACANCE IN BUTTER.
Better to Dispense with the American
Custom of Using This Fat
at the Dinner Table.

With the many signs heaved over
grocery and creamery bills, ii is en-
c%ouraging to know that the crusade
against butter at the dinner table is rap
idly gaining ground. partly because it
has come to be the fad. Once the fad
is established as a habit. however, it
will carry itself along, as it is a good,
sensible one, 1t is q point in which
we Americans are more extravagant
than perhaps other nations. A full din
ner usually contains in itself more fat
than can be readily absorbed by the
system, and superlluous fat tends Sc
riously to retard, even disturb. diges-
ton. To add butter out of sheer habit,
to suffer from Indigestion because of
too heavy a diet, and in turn fill up with
drugs and have to face the bills is bad
management. Many a husband,
while strongly advocating every econ
omy, will feel, in spite of the gravy and
juicy meat, besides vegetable sauces.
that some way his dinner is not com
plete without his habitual butter. At
least start out the younger members of
the family in the new habit, and event
ually you will find they will feel better
satisfied minus than plus the super
tlUous fat.
The manufacturer has to study details
In the process of exhausting from his
raw material the very last molecule of
his product, and all this in relation to
the expense in labor and time for Sc
curing it, Not only is this true of the
product itself, but every grain of the
by-product has to be used to the best ad-
vantage. How little of this method do
we apply in our households! More than
that, one single attempt not entirely
successful, we are prone to be discour-
aged. Each of our household items of
expense demands a critical scrutiny

REMEDIES AND DIET.
Information Necessary for Health of
the Household and for Preser-
walton Of Good Looks.

Nose-bleeding may bestopped by snuff
ing lemon juice into the nostrils from
which the blood issues. 1t has long been
known TO physicians that lemon juice is
a most powerful Nstyptic.
Grapes and raisins are no%urishing and
~fattening, and apples eaten daily insure
clear, bright compilations.
Never eat anything that You know dis
agrees with you, If you want to keep a
good complexion. Indigestion is n OF
the greatest enemies of the skin, and for
this reason the simpler the food one eats
the better. Fruit, either fresh or cooked,
and green vegetables. should be part OF
the daily diet.
To relieve a gumboil, a homely remedy
is to take a thin strip of dried fig, dip it
in milk, toast it, and then apply hot TO
the swollen gum. Relief is speedy.
Rose water, eight ounces, and tincture
of benzine two drains, make one of the
best skin tonics and whiteners.
Celery is good for nervousness, being
considered a nerve stimulant.
Powdered rice applied on lint will stop
a bleeding wound.
For a good camphor mouth wash try
the following: Take a pint of hot water
and dissolve in ii two drains Of pow
dered borax, when the water cools add
one dram each of spirits Of camphor and
tincture Of myrrh.
1t is not generally known that castor
oil may be most easily taken mingled
with orange juice, a little sugar being
added to the juice if the orange is not
sweet. The difference between this and
any other mode of taking this valuable
medicine is surprising.
In case of fainting lay the person fiat
on the back, keep the people at a dis
lance SO the sufferer will have plenty of
fresh air. Sprinkle the face with water
and apply spirits of hartshorn to the
nose.
Nail biting car be cured by will power
alone in older people, as 1t comes from
nervousness. With children dip the ends
of the fingers in q~uinine or a little ex-
tract of quassla.
A floor should never he swept in d
room where there is a contagious pa
tient. 1t should be washed with a cloth
dipped in borax water, so that no dust
annoys the patient and no assortment of
germs are flung up in the air, to drift
out of the window en- route to fresh vie
tins.
Skin eruptions show al impaired di-
gestion and an impure condition of the
blood; for the blood take the old-fash-
Toned remedy of sulphur and molasses.
Avoid rich and greasy foods and each
morning before breakfast take a glass OF
hot water in which you have squeezed
the juice of an orange or lemon.-Farm

HEALTH OF THE PIANO..
Few Know How to Take Proper Care
of This Valuable Part of the
Household Equipment.

A talk with a veteran dealer in pianos
discloses interesting facts, says Good
Housekeeping. The piano is a delicate
instrument, too valuable and too expen-
sive to be subjected to the strain of one
kind and another which it undergoes in
many households.
"Above all things" says the piano
man, look out for extremes of heat and
cold, and for dampness, especially
steam, which sometimes finds its way
through the house, The piano should
never be neal a hot air register, steam
radiator, or a heater of any kind, nor
should it, on the other hand, rest against
an outside wall of a house. Extremes of
heat and cold check the case and are
anything but salutary for the musical
portion.
"A draft Is bad for a piano in that it
renders frequent tuning necessary. A
friend of mine placed a grand piano in
a lofty, galleried music room. The
drafts TO which it was subjected put it
out of tune in no time, and it had to be
moved to a sheltered spot.
THE room in which the piano is stu
ated should preferably have a hardwood
floor, without rugs, and should be as
free as possible from draperies and up
holstery of any kind, which soften the
sound. There is no general rule for the
placing of a piano in a room Differ
ent locations must be tried until the one
is found in which the conditions are the
most favorable for the instrument to be
heard at its best"

Mirrors Unhattering.

1t Is a comfort to be told, as people
who make a speciality of curing facial de-
fects almost always tell their patients,
that every one looks homelier in the
mirror than in reality. How many wom-
en- dread unspeakably the task of buy
ing a new hat or having their photo
graph taken, and for no other reason
than it obliges them to look in the glass
and see how plain and uninteresting
they have become. If they will only re-
member that mirrors lie most e%gregious-
ly-that they darken and dull the com
pleXion, magnify wrinkles and lines and
fail almost entirely to give back those
changing expressions which constitute
the charm of many a faulty face, they
will take courage. No woman is ever
quite natural when she inspects herself
in her looking glass. Her face is in re-
pose, her mind is nearly a blank. What
she looks at is a sort of impersonal
mask. What her friends see is a human
face, lit up with animation, interesting
and appealing, even if it fulfls none of
the demands of the beauty connois-
seur.

SCREENS NOW IN FAVOR.
Present Ones Contrast with Those Of
Past and Burlap and Other Plain
Kinds Now Most Approved.

Frames with silks or silkolines gath
cred on rods are not used much at pres
ent; but If you have one you can turn
1t into exactly the thing to match your
room. For instance, a stunning white
and gold screen can be made out OF
SCARED. dingy-looking old oak frames.
With the frames in that condition, Of
course, the silk will be solicit and prob
ably split. Rip 1t off and throw 1t away.
Sandpaper your frames until every
bit of yarnish is removed and then paint
them with white enamel paint, letting 1t
| dry, and then putting on a second coat
and touching the little knobs with gilt.
For the material get one Of the cotton
stuffs of white, stamped, eastern fash
ion, with gilt pattern, or use a pale col.
ored stuff to match your room or to
tone in with it.
If you have a rose room. enamel the
frames with green and gather a rose
printed silkoline on the rods, or keep ii
all in foliage greens.
The whole cost of fixing It up should
not be over a dollar and you have the
added glow of satisfaction over having
made a very good looking thing out of
something that was mighty near moth
