HEALTH NOTES.

Mutton, lamb and poultry are the
best meats for small children, but
they should never be given meal
which has been twice cooked. Chill
dren under 2 years of age are better
off without meat, though meat broth
may be given with vegetables.
If a child's eyes are examined while
quite young by a skillful o%culist,
much trouble in after life might be
prevented. An occasional visit to the
oculist by older percons could result
in no harm, while such visit might
prove "a stitch in time" etc.
When so unfortunate as to have
some foreign particle blown into your
eye, try closing the eyes Immediately
and keeping them shut for a minute
or so. When the eyes are opened
again the cinder will be found to dis
appear and not even a singing SEN
sation will be felt.
Seed warts have been removed by
first cutting the warts down to the
skin with a clean sharp knife and
then applying a poultice of lemon
juice and fine salt. In the morning
or three more applications of the

A child afflicted with measles re-
quires the strictest care. 1t should
be put to bed and kept warm, for
warmth is very essential in the treat
ment of this malady. Inammation
of the lungs is frequently caused by
ill-treatment in cases of measles and
death often results from this.
An ointment to be used on tender
feet, and one which will effect a cure
if persistently applied, is made by
simmering together a scant table
spoonful of lard, a piece of mutton
tallow the size of an egg and thw-
thirds of an ounce of camphor gum.
Pour into the molds while hot. This
should be applied daily.
inexpensive lavender water is
made by mixing three ounces of es-
sense of bergamot, six drains of tine
ture of musk, one dram of oil of
cloves, four drains of English oil of
lavender, twelve ounces of rose wat
er, and seven and one-half pints of
alcohol. A small quantity, of course,
may be made, but the proportions
must be accurately preserved.

CLEANING PEWTER.

Since the craze for collecting old
pewter has developed many women
have spent hours in their endeavor
to try to polish the pieces into some
thing approaching their former
brightness, but, generally speaking,
without marked suces.
Some, of course, prefer that the
pieces retain their dull, leaden APP
pearance indicative of old age, while
others fancy the bright pewter.
Very frequently old pewter has be-
come badly oxidized or coroded and
the removal of the incrustation will
take time.
One of the best methods of cleans
ing such pieces is by soaking in a
bath of soda crystals or boraX, as hot
as possible, then scrubbing with sand
soap. Dry the article then with me-
tai polish, a little petroleum and a
wooden cloth; scour until the surface
begins to show bright.
Wash in soap and water and finish
with a final polish of whiting.
A method in vogue among jewellers
is to drop the pewter into a bath
made of a solution of cyanide of po-
tassium.
1t will be impossible to obtain this
drug without a doctors prescription,
as it is a deadly poison, but under
standing the object for which it is
to be used, any reputable person can
obtain it in this way.
The pewter should remain in the
solution until the surface looks
bright, then take it out, wash with
hot water and soap and dry with a
flannel cloth.
1t will be we'll to use rubber gloves
while using the solution in order to
protect the hands.
Another effective way of remov-
ing the discolorations is by using a
mixture of kerosene and ordinary
seashore sand, adding just enough of
the oil to moisten the sand.
With a coarse piece of canvass ap-
ply this TO the metal and rub until
the surface becomes bright. Any poi
ish containing grease should be
avoided if a brilliant finish is desired.
Emery cloth or sand paper should
not be used, as they will scratch the
metal. In order TO remove any dents
which may have appeared take a
wooden mallet covered with leather,
with two or three pieces of curved
wod to get into the crevices.
Pewter is soft, and a gentle ham
mering will be all that is necessary
to emove the hollows.

TO KEEP MILK FROM ABSORBING
n

Keep milk and cream in tightly
covered bottles to prevent them from
becoming tainted.
For nothing in the culinary depart
ment is as. susceptible to odors as
milk and cream, nor as disagreable
to eat once they partake OF the flavor
of strong vegetables and fish.
1t is not theory, but a fact, that
both milk and cream taste better
kept in china or glass dishes than in
tins, though if the latter are new and
have not worn off or rusted in spots
the flavor of the liquid should not be
affected.
Even in the best of glass jars
and china pitchers, protected with
covers, milk will not keep fresh I'M
less it has been properly cooled before
being poured into the bottle.
For this reason none but the best
of guaranteed milk and cream should
be bought, for the health of a family
depends largely upon it, and if in
the beginning the liquids are tainted
it is impossible for them even to be
fresh an din a palatable condition.
Then, too, the milk and cream
should be kept at as even a tempera-
ture as is possible, and constantly in
the ice box, if it is to taste right and
| be nourishing, and the bottle should
never by any mistake be put in a
compartment where there are onions,
cabbage, fish, bananas, etc, for the
odors from them are Immediately
| absorbed by the liquid.
So sensitive to srrong tlavors are
milk and cream that should the top
be removed from a bottle a few min
utes they will partake of the flavor
| at once and be tainted.
New and old milk should never be
mixed with the idea of making the
old fresh, for such a thing is i'm
| possible, and will end in really spoil
ing the fresh without improving that
which is several days old.
Milk that has stood for three or
four days can be made into good
clabber by putting it in a bowl near
a fire for a few hours, and the clab-
Der may in turn be fixed over into
! delicious cottage cheese by pouring
it into a cheese-cloth bag, sailing and
peppering and hanging to drain in the
open air.
Cream keeps much better and long
err than milk, but it must be w
more carefully watched to prevent
'odors from tainting it, and the tenn
perature must be practically the same
all the time.
Even the light affects it and If the
bottle is opened great care should be
taken to close it as soon as is possible.
The shoppers to the bottle mould
be carefully washed off every day, or
if there is a paper top a fresh one
should be put one once every twenty
four hours.

AUTUMN CoLoRs.

Rich autumn -shadings are seen
everywhere.
Mulberry leads and wine shades
follow it closely, especially the warm
red known as Bordeaux color
which Is always rich and effective by
reason of it's becomingness to blonde
and brunette alike. Plum and purple
shades have been by no mean ELI
minated from the seasons color card,
and a tone to which all Paris has
been extending a welcome is a COM
promise between pomegranate and
rose-pink, a shade which lends itself
admirably to fine cloth or velvet.
All manner of greens and grays
have likewise been well received. ele-
plant and gunmetal gray being the
two which are accorded most faver
in the realm of outdoor wear, while
for evening attire the greatest SEN
sation is the vogue for yellow in every
graduation. From corn-color to the
palest lemon, a whole bamut of diff
ferent shades is introduced, amber
being, perhaps, the one which has
been singled out for special consider
alton.

LIONS disappearing.

Just as The buffalo has been eXter-
minated from our great Western
plains, so lions are disappearing from
india before the rifle of the hunter
and the axe and pillow of the farmer.
In Kathiawar, whose forests have
furnished one of the last retreats of
the retiring kings of beast, an at
tempt is being made to save the ami
mails from complete extinction by
prohibiting lion-hunting during q
period of six years,
1t is said, however, that the gra-
dual clearing away of the forests win
In itself result in the determination
of the lions.

SOME COLOR BEAUTY.

All the natural shades of the au-
tumn seem to have been combined in
the walking costumes of the winter
bmonths, including the rich red OF
the dahlia and the lovely reddish
bronze of the chrythemum; while
the vivid crimson which the black
berry leaf assumes when the berry
season is over. as well as the deep
purple of the fruit itself, are all re-
produced with excellent effect on the
cloth which form the basis of the
tailor coats and skirts, as well as the
afternoon gowns.
Some of the more delicate of the
colorings are naturally %unsuited TO
ordinary wear, which is a pity, as It
is too bad to be denied such lowell
ness at any time.
Wild thyme, by the way, is as love
1y a color as sits name suggests.

REDUCES BANK TAX
Proposed Bill Cuts Down the
Charge on Gross Earnings.
REFUNDING LAW
Provides That No Overcharges Shall
e. Be Paid Back by District Govern
menf Unless Application Is Made
Within Three Years Darneilic
Recommends Legislation.

Important changes, involving the re-
funding of taxes in the District Of Co
lumbia and the reduction of the interest
paid by the national banks and trust
companies, are embodied in bin submit
ted to the Commissioners yesterday by
Assessor II. H. Darneille for transmission
to Congress. The bin provides, first. that
hereafter no refund Of taxes shall be
made whether for overpayment on &C
count Of excessive arrears. duplicate pay
mcnt. or other cause. unless application
is made within three years.
The second change is that in the future.
beginning with the second Monday in

after, the Board of Equalization and Re
view shall meet and hear appeals from
the assessments of the Board of Assistant
Assessors of Real Estate up TO and in
GLIDING the third Monday in April fol-
lowing. instead of the time prescribed by
the existing law.
The third feature relates to the banks
and the drafted law provides that here
after national banks in the District of
Columbia shall pay per cent yearly tax
on their gross earnings, less the amount
of interest received from government
bonds. instead of per cent, as now re-
quired by law.
The fourth clause says that hereafter
trust companies in the District of Column

their gross earnings, less the amount OF
interest paid 10 depositors instead Of the
6 per cent now required.
In a letter to the Commissioners, As
SCISSOR Darneille said:
7 do not consider that the personal tax
law is by any means perfect, and certain
material changes should be made therein.
especially in relation TO the taxation OF
national banks and trust companies,
which 1 consider to be overtaxed AT pres

are three or more national banks IN the
District that have been incorporated since

hardship and injustice. I have seen fit 70
