This is very strong, and the odor is so
pungent that 1t reminds one OF furni-
ture polish or wet paint. But II is at
worst a clean smell 1t retains It's
Odor for hours. and all insects seem

good substitute. but II is not as lasting

Care in Treating Measles-It IS a
common mistake to count measles as
a trifing complaint that need not be
noticed, and few people realize how
many hundreds of yOui z children die
every year from 1t. If mothers would
only remember that warmth is essen
tial. and that every child with measles
must be kept in bed. there would prob
ably be few fatal cases. AS ii is, how
ever, this simple precaution is very
often neglected, and the bronchitis or
venes is one OF the commonest causes
Of death. Yet the parents would be
astonished and Mortified If it were
pointed out to them that they had
themselves caused their child's death.
Take Care of Your Eyes-People who
recognize the importance of taking care
OF their health often quite forget that

and eyes-this is injurious to them.
| Care of the Nails-Few things are

/ this should unfortunately have happen
ed, the best cure is cold cream, applied
literally every night; protect the fin
gers by an old pair Of gloves. Soak

is best. Dry hair should be washed with
an egg juleD preparation.
The Value of Salt.-Haif a teaspoonful
of common table salt dissolved in a lit
tie cold water will instantly relieve
heartburn or dyspepsia If taken every
morning before BREAKFAST, increasing the
quantity gradually to a teaspoonful Of
salt and a tumbler of water, it viii in

Carry the poultice to the bedside on a

carry away the old one; do not leave

She installed a simple metal bed, a
good sized rug of quiet design, one or

fond, q couple Of chairs, a few books

of dumb bells. She denied herself to all

n THE DAYS when our grandmoth-

II with fountains OF youth in the way
OF skin creams and lotions were not
so common, and yet most OF US have
heard that grandmother's skin was soft
and rosy when she was a GIRL and we
have also seen with our own eyes many
a grandmother OF today whose skin was
as fresh and smooth as that OF her
daughter, in fact more so.
1t was my good fortune to meet one Of
these dear old ladies very recently-she
was sixty-four years old. although when
looking at the clear eyes and fresh,
well-preserved skin it was hard to be-
lieve 1t.
How did you do it?'' I gained cour-
age to ask. thinking I might find out
about some wonderful cream or lotion
that would be an eternal boon TO my
self and others Imagine my surprise
when she told me that she had never
applied any manufactured cosmetic or
cream OF any kind TO her skin, but had
always used the simplest OF beautihers,
which nature provides, and which are
