eat fattening things. Take a great
deal Of butter and some codliver oil.
You should not scratch or irritate chill
blains. for If YOU do they may become
sores. which win give YOU a great deal
Of trouble Unless you build up your
system and strengthen your eonstitu-
ton. you will be liable to have them
every time that YOU expose yourself to
the cold. A good remedy is to battle
the parts that are affected twice daily
with acetate of zinc. a dram to Il pint

Crocheted dishcloths will last longer
than any other kind and will be found
easy to keep clean. Crochet them in
an open stitch about a foot square.

You have doubtless heard of using
a quilted pad under the ice which 1t is
claimed effects a great saving. l ar

folded towel or pad of canton 1ennel
