An unpleasant itching of the ears is
most usually caused by eczema. Wo-
men who are subject to this should
eat quantities of fruit, watercress,
dandelion, lettuce, etc. For a local ap-
plication a weak dilutiOn of carbolic
acid is healing and agreeable or lis
terine diluted One-half with water will
allay the fearful irritation Of eczema.
1t is always best of course, to consult
a specialist, since the trouble may be
a serious one that in time will affect
the hearing.
A splendid toilet soap is made with
olive oil as foundation. Put into 4
porcelain lined kettle one quart olive
oil and bring to the boiling point. Have
ready three pints strained potash water
made by dissolving four tablespoon
fuls refined potash in three pints boil
ing water. Strain, add slowly TO the
boiling oil, stirring constantly with
long-handled wooden spoon, until thick
like jelly. then cool on plate. When
nearly hard and cold, perfume to your
liking with lavender violet or rose,
pour into molds or a dripping pan to
harden. The longer it is allowed to
harden and season the longer will be
its lasting qualities.
Don't be afraid of water. Drink
plenty of it, and take as many baths
as you can. Learn few physical cul-
ture exercises, and practice them night
and morning.
Acetic acid, applied properly and per-
sistently, will remove the most tenacl-
Gus of warts. This is the proper way:
Take the clean end of q dead match or
any small piece of wood and dip it in
the acid. On removing it there will be
found about a drop clinging. Apply,
or rather allow, this to drop on the
wart, which, being porous, will soon
absorb it. Do this every day to each
wart, being careful to have the hand
or any part held perfectly still. You
will be surprised to see how soon the
ugly things will disappear.
To practice deep breathing draw in
the air slowly, easily and fully. When
you have filed your lungs, without
straining, hold your breath in for a

breathe out through the nose and keep
your lungs empty for a few seconds be-
fore another inspiration. The muscles
