An Essential That the Sewing Machine
Be Kept Clean and Hints About
Cast-of Garments.

One Of the first things the home
seamstress should see 10 is that her
machine is clean. If 1t runs heavy,
give 1t a thorough oiling with coal
oil, soaking all parts that are TO be
oiled, and picking out Of the joints and
hiding places between parts all the &C
| emulation OF dust and lint, and brush
ing such parts well with a stiff tooth
brush. The coal oil will cut the
gummed places, and everything should
he well wiped off with a soft cloth,
after the machine needle has been re
moved and the machine run rapidly
for a few minutes. Some home seam
stresses may have been induced to use
unsuitable oils because there was no
other at hand, and if the coal oil
fails TO cut the gummed accumulation,
she should use gasoline IN its working
parts freely, and after wiping off the
liberated dirt, give it an oiling with
good machine oil, which should be kept
on hand for the sewing machine only.
~ AbL dllpN tJf SihG lhDh ~ ar
of your oil can and use up your sup
ply simply because he Is too IMPROVE
dent to have his own, I speak from ex-
p]erience when ! warn you of the in.
convenience of such a proceeding. Keep
a little fine steel file in your machine
drawer to use in case your needle be-
comes blunted. Refuse to loan this,
also, for, like the oil. it will not come
back to you, in most cases, even after
many days"
Before making ever any cast-off or
outgrown garment, give it a cleaning
and freshen it with some of the many
ten-cent dyes. They come in prepare
tons for dyeing cotton, cottons mixed
with silk, or wool, or linens, or for all
wool goods, ami be sure you get the
right mixture and follow the directions
closely, You will be pleased with the
result.
If you happen to have any dresses Of
the make Of seven to ten years ago,
they will need bur sCant changing, as.

THE UNCONSCIOUS PATIENT
Keep the Head Low and Let Nature
Do Her Work in the Restoring
to Normal Condition.

If a person is unconscious from al.
accident and is breathing regularly, and
the pulse beating regularly, do not try
to restore consciousness, Put the pa
tieut on a bed, no pillow, let the head
be lower than the feet, for unconscious
ness and fainting are both caused by the
blood leaving the brain, so the point 10
be remembered is to let the blood get
back to the brain. This is best done by
having the head lowered.
If it is fainting, consciousness will
soon be restored; but if it is prolonged
Inconsistencies from a fall YOU will
have to wait until the shock is over.
That is n time when you cannot force
nature. Inconsistencies may last for
hours, for days and even for weeks, and
the patient will recover and be all right
in the end.
In such cases as that you must think
for the patient and attend to all their
wants as you would for a baby a month
old. An unconscious person will swal-
low, if you feed them with a spoon. Civ.
ing liquids, Of course, milk or broth or
beef tea, If you find they cannot swal-
low or will not, after you have put in a
spoonful Of liquid, then turn the head
on the side. and encourage it all to run
out Of the mouth. even if you put in the
end of a clean handkerchief ana absorb
1t out, otherwise it may choke the pa
tient. After a few hours try again, as
rest Will improve The conditions. and an
unconscious person will be getting bet
ter all the time, provided there are no
complications Press.
