The juice of half lemon in a cup
of black coffee without any sugar will
cure sick headache.
A strong. unsweetened lemonade
taken before breakfast will prevent
and cure a bilious attack.
Breakfast bacon is said to be al
most a cure for dyspepsia and is one
of the best things a dyspeptic can
eat.
Grapes and pineapples are blessings
In the sick-room. Only the juice OF
either should be swallowed. 1t al

Scraps of old, worn chamois skin
strung on twine, bead fashion, and
then tied into a "chamois ball." Will

The palm of the hand is one OF the
best natural nail polishers, and many
manicure establishments, after using
powder and a chamois buffer, finish
the nails with the palm polish. This
is done by rubbing the nails together
along the side of the other palm in a
line under the little finger, or else
directly across the base of the fingers.
Bring from the woods at any time
after the first cold snap a clump of
moss that looks as IL it had had ferns
growing in it. Place 1t in a shallow
dish, and water freely. In less than
two weeks you viii see signs Of life,
and soon you will wonder what all
the little shoots may be. In the way
of care it requires nothing but plenty
OF water.
An excellent way to cure insomnia
is to bandage the eyes with a hand
kerchief before retiring. The COM
press seems to drive away the blood
from the eyes, and so cure, or at least
temporarily relieve, that feeling so
often experienced by sufferers from
restlessness Of trying to see in the
dark.
J. Burden Cooper accidentally
learned that lime water taken in
ternally is almost a specific for warts.
When taking lime water for some d.
gestive disturbance. he found that a
wart that had been troublesome dis
appeared from his finger. He tried
this remedy in other cases OF warts,
and found that the warts disappeared.
He recommends the taking Of a wine
glass Of lime water after the midday
meal, with a little milk. 'fhe wart
disappears after from four days tc
three weeks.

RELIEVING THE BRAIN.
To Relieve Nervous System of It's
Tension, Persistent Use of Mus

The persistent use of the muscular
system is well calculated to relieve the

Housekeeping. 1t IS also true that
manual work pleases and satisfies the
mind when its results are good. All
this becomes clearer when we realize
bow vainly we may seek relief from
rervous fatigue in physical Test, or
even in recreations of the ordinary
sort. The quiet room or the quiet hill
side. so suggestive of rest and peace.
these are too often impotent in the
presence of carking care. One reason
for this failure is that the brain and
the body are commonly not tired in
what is called nervous exhaustion, but
are only irritated. while the sense of
fatigue which is SO misleading is mere
ly the result of that irritation and may
be termed a psychic fatigue. Under
these circumstances it is easy to un-
derstand that 1t is change. not neces-
sarily physical rest. which is so sorely
needed.
