To Induce Sleep.

There should not be much greater
difficulty in sleeping in hot weather
than in cold II external arrangements
are what they should be. A smooth,
hard mattress upon woven wire
springs is the ideal bed, one that
yields to the form without engulfing
1t. Bring the head of this bed to an
open window, where every breath of
air that stirs caresses the face, and
one can look up at the stars, then in
hale and exhale rapidly and with force
eight or ten times. After two or three
minutes begin taking long, deep, slow
breaths, filling the lungs to their ut
most capacity each time, and exhaling
osomewhat more quickly than in in
halatfon. and very likely you are
asleep before you have done it ten
times. 1
If not, lie very quietly, do not thrash
around, and remember. that you have
done your best during the day; there
Is nothing SO soothing as this to think
of, because it relieves the mind of re-
sponsibility. The only effective way
to induce. reluctant sleep is not to
care a picayune whether you sleep or
not. This attitude is not always at
tainable. 1t means relaxation, and re-
Taxation means sleep, and sleep is
never obtained otherwise, while with
this requisite It rarely fails.
II none Of these arts bring sleep
1t Is because you are i'll, hungry or
have not exercised enough. Exercise
Is just as necessary in hot weather as
In cold, and 1t is almost necessity
to eat something before retiring. It ia
the natural thing to do. No animal
In free wild state goes to sleep
empty. A warm bath will often bring
sleep when the thoughts are very un-
manageable.
AS 1t is the season for picking and
preserving do not think we can
have too many tried recipes, SO will
give the fourth recipe for chill sauce,
this coming from New Britain: Two
cans tomatoes, best quality; six med
ium sized onions, one-half TEASPOON
cayenne pepper; twelve tablespoonfuls
sugar; three tablespoonful salt. four
cups vinegar. Cook tomatoes slowly
half an hour, strain through colan-
der, pressing the pulp all through.
Chop the onions very fine, all to vine
gar, and boil slowly ten minutes. Add
tomatoes and cook fifteen minutes.
Then add the salt, sugar and pepper.
and cook little longer, till you think
It the right consistency. I use two
quarts Of tomatoes for this rule which
1 put up myself. Il suppose she means
two quarts of fresh tomatoes IL she
uses those instead of the canned
which the recipe calls for)
Add salt { in the proportion OF a
half cupful to two quarts of water) to
the water in the lower half of the
double boiler II you wish to rush the
contents in the inner vessel, says
Modern Women. Boiling salt water
generates quickly a strong heat.
Yards and yards of chiffon, net, and
tissue are consumed in wells this sea-
son. This style is distinctly becoming
and appears to belong to certain wo-
men who take advantage of the preva-
lence Of the fad to enhance whatever
charms are theirs.
The bolero jacket with cut work
embroidery around its edge and
around the bell sleeves is a pretty ad-
1unct to the summer toilette, espec-
tally II the gown be in one of the
dainty colors, glimpses of color being
very effective through the open pat
tern Of the embroidery.
To get rid of small ants: Place a
piece of raw liver on a plate in the
neighbOrhood the ants frequent. Every
