When One Is Choking.

"Raising the left arm as high as you
can will relieve choking much more
rapidly than being thumped on the
back" said one OF the resident physi-
clans of local hospital. This should
be more generally known for often a
person gets choked while eating when
there is no one near to tlump him or
her. Very frequently at meals and
when they are at play children get
choked while eating, ana the custom
airy manner Of relieving them is to
Slap them SHARPLY IN the back. The
effect of this is to set the obstruction
free, so that it can be swallowed. The
same thing can be brought about by
raising, the left hand of the child as
high as possible. and the relief comes
much more rapidly. In happenings Of
this kind there should be no alarm, for
if child sees that older persons or
parents get excited it is very liable to
become so also. The best thing is to
tell the child to raise its left arm. and
Immediately the obstruction passes
down the throat '-Philadelphia Rec

Tales They Tell.

W. l.. White OF Findlay, O., whose
mastery prosecution convicted the
Standard Oil company of restraining
trade, said the other day about trust
methods:
There are number of trusts that
seem to think the American people
are lunatics. These trusts, with some
ingenious bubble, break the law,
and then believe that their bubble
will save them.
They remind me of two little
Findlay boys.
The mother of one boy said to
him last Christmas morning:
~ don't want you to go to John
ny Smiths to play with his Christmas
toys. He's very rude
''All right, mother the lad an
swered; and a few minutes later
seeing the Smith boy on his door
step, he said:
Johnny, mother says I can't &c
in your house to play with your toys
because your rude. You come on in
my house, amt rude.

HOW TO WASH HOSIERY
TO PREVENT FADING

Almost any woman thinks she knows
how to wash stockings, but the truth
Is that many a nice pair Of black hose
is ruined in color and tans are old be-
fore their time because Of the way they
are rubbed.
In the matter of children's hosiery, It
is Of the utmost impOrtanc- that the
best method should be use , for the
stockings OF little ones are constantly in
evidence. and when well washed last
longer as well as look better.
The two most common mistakes are
made in using very hot water and rub
bling on soap. The latter especially
should never be done even though the
lather is made on the wrong side.
The water should be no more than
lukewarm. and all hosiery should be
turned wrong side out 4 little borax
should 20 into the water and q good
suds be made with a pur, laundry soap.
Into this put the stockings and let
them stay for ten minutes Then with
the hands rub briskly together. but do
not use a board Throw into fresh
water that has nothing but bOrax and
rub them again.

How 10 furnish
Sewing Rooms for
WOnGn'S Comfort

Happy is a woman who can have
real sewing room, place where All
stitching materials may be kept to-
gether in apparent disorder. let Zach
where she can put her hands on II in
a moment when the seasons rush is on.
If the room be no larger than to give
place for machine. work table. and
chair she may still rejoice, for scraps
may fan to the floor unheeded, and
picking up" every moment is unnec-
essary. To be quite ideal there should
be a place for a chest OF drawers, and
a long mirror should hang so that the
bottom Of skirts may be seen easily
during a fitting.
Sewing is work that should be made
as easy as possible, and the first step
in this direction is 10 cover the floor
and simplify cleaning. Best OF all Is
a covering of unbleached muslin. This
should be stitched in breadths and have
loops at the corners only If the room
is small II fairly large more loops in
between will be required. Put thumb
screws into the floor at spaces to cor
respond with the loops. Put down the
muslin and fasten It to the screws.
This will hold 1t firmly enough in place,
and vet at the end OF the day, when
hundreds OF tiny scraps and pieces have
fallen the muslin can be lifted and
shaken into the trash barrel. thus en-
tirely doing away with sweeping.
The sewing machine should be well
placed for light, and an open mouth
muslin bag hanging at one end will
serve as a receptacle for scraps that
might otherwise fall.
The machine chair should be a
straight one and perfectly comfortable
when the seamstress is sitting prop
erly. A low rocker to use when doing
hand sewing makes a pleasant and rest
fui change from the stiff, straight one.

Water is the most important since it
forms the basis of all beverages. AS
it comes from the earth it contains
more or less OF few or many mineral
substances; for pure water has more
solvent power than any liquid. The
purest water known is distilled IN con-
densation from steam. Rain water is
soft Hard water contains more or less
lime The water which looks clearest
and tastes most palatable Is often most
heavily impregnated with poisonous

There is. 1 know. quite a difference

not belong to any particular age, but
is seen quite often framing youthful,
fresh faces as well as GROWING the
heads of middle age, II is no wonder
that the question of becoming shades is
a perplexing one.
Some authorities claim that gray
should be chosen before all other tones,
trying as much as possible to match
