Relief for Earache.

Earache is one of the most distress.
ing ailments of childhood. Heat, per.
haps, gives as much relief as any ap.
plication. The ear may be gently
filed with water as hot as can be
borne, poured in with teaspoon.
The child should lie with the affected
ear uppermost and after a short time
turn on that side and let the water
run out. Sometimes a small mus
tard plaster behind the ear stops the
pain. 1t should be left on only few
minutes.

same time as the stone wall under the
barn, bonding these walls together.
When the root house walls are up 5
feet at the bank side and feet
inches or 6 inches at barn side, then
put in centers and tagging, supported
by uprights and plate, giving the
centers a rise of at least one inch in
the foot, that is for a root house IL
feet wide. Have IL inch rise in the
arch centers or ribs a little more
rise is better. The reason of having
the arch one foot four inches higher
at the barn side of the roothouse is
to allow for a door feet high from
the basement into the root house.
Now carry up the end wall to the
shape and height of the centers. Put
in three-quarter inch rods from to
5 feet apart, at the spring OF the
arch having large washer and nut
on each end of each rod, SO as to be
able to tighten them up after the Gov
ering Is SET and before taking out the
center mould. These rods run through
both walls across the roothouse to
keep the arch from spreading the
walls. (See plan.) A manhole can
be built at the top of the arch at one
end by putting in large tile or by
building curb for filling with roots;
this serves as ventilator as well.
Also put in a small window at each
end wall below the arch to furnish
light. On each end of the roothouse
on top of the arch coping wall can
be built to retain the earth, as from
IL to Is, inches of earth should be on
top of the arch to keep out the frost
as well as protect the arch from re-
ceiving injury from heavy loads. For
the arch use five parts gravel to one
part Portland cement. For walls use
eight parts gravel to one part Port
land cement. Stone filters may be
used in the arch and the side walls.
