OLD RAGS COME IN WELL.
Don't Throw Away Worn-out Under
wear and Towels for They Some
times Prove Indispensable.

All good housewives should save all
their old linen. muslin underwear. tow
els and fannels. One never can tell
when IL viii come IN handy.
One family which was so healthy as
to be a byword in the community had a
e.seful and economical woman At its
lead and she always saved old petit
coats. chemises. handkerchiefs and the
like. having them washed. ironed and
put away. as well as sections Of worn
bath towels and old blankets-all put
away perfectly clean.
Recently this family had a long case
OF typhoid fever and another case Of
erysipelas. when those old rags were
worth their weight in gold. The old
towels and pieces Of blanket were used
to protect the bed when washing the pa
tient. the old handkerchiefs were used
for washing out the mouth and eyes. as
well as for their original purpose. and
the old soft muslin and linen rags were
ideal for bandaging the erysipelas pa
tient when using a salve that would ruin
anything Il touched
Nothing new can be bought that viii
take the place OF soft old rags. and she
is wise woman who puts hers away
clean In safe place.

There Is nothing like housework for

Of gymnastics peculiarly adapted to the

necessary TO health, and housework un-
doubtedly complies with both Of those
