Women generally work twice as

day engaged in that unromantic occu-
| patton. She had on a pair of stout
leather gloves and was applying tho

binary shoe brush, which she said waS
lghter and therefore much more easily
welded than the usual stove brush. Tho

expert bootblack. 81 always keep sofe
paper bags from the groceries tucked
in this box nailed up near the stove, and
every day slip two or three over my

sequence is that only need apply polish
once a week." Another little thing
worth remembering in regard to stoveS
cleaning is to wipe the dust from the
stove thoroly before You apply any poll

wrong way to do thing, and the wrong
way doubles the task.
The practise of taking hot and fce-
cold drinks. especially when alternatedi
at short intervals, as when hot coffee or
tea and ice water are taken at meals,
the careless use of the toothpick, which
often irritates and wounds the gums
and causes them to recede, the too free
use of artificial sweets. and the use Of
tobacco are all causes for the decay Of
the teeth. The most potent cause, how
ever, says an authority, is the lack Of
the natural exercise of chewing, which
will bring to them sufficient blood sup
ply to keep them solid and sound.
A physician of this city believes that
one of the most active sources Of
spreading contagious diseases among
public-school children is thru their OUT
er clothing. The garments come from
all sorts of homes. and are usually piled
together, whether wet or dry, in an un-
ventilated place that makes an excellent
incubator for disease germs. especially
those Of diphtheria. In some cities
where school buildings are crowded this
same clothing is sometimes hung in the
school room Itself or the wardrobe room
where It Is placed Is used for an extra
recitation room. There should be q
room for wraps that is thoroly venti- ri
lated. and a place where they can be

cotton for sewing buttons on chiidren's
waists in those cases where the eye Of
the button is not large enough to admit
the large-eyed needle that will carry
linen thread. IN order to make shapk
to the button, and not to strain 1t too
closely to the cloth underneath, put
pin across the top Of the button and
pass your thread over It into the holes
of the button, binding the doubled
thread in your needle around the button
once after each stitch. When the pin Is
taken out the button will be firmly, but
not too tightly, fastened in place. Coarse
black twist like that used by tailors
wears better than linen-thread for sew
ing on coat and shoe buttons.
The following recipe for koumiss CIV
en- me by hospital nurse is the best one
that have ever used. Heat eight quarts
of sweet milk to a temperature Of 100
degrees. Mix six cakes of comprest
yeast with two and one-half tablespoon
fuls Of graduated sugar, and two table,
spoonfuls Of salt. When the milk Is
heated. add the sugar. salt and yeast,
dissolve them thoroly and bottle at once.
II the koumyss Is made in the morning,
will remain at temperature of about
80 degrees, from II in the morning until
9 p. m. Then put 1t on the ice, and it
will be ready for use in "a hours.
AS oranges are usually prepared for

an apple, cutting away carefully the
inner white as well as the yellow skin.
Then, instead of slicing across or divid-
ing in sections, slip the point of your
fruit-knife inside the inside skin, and
put again close to the skin on the oppo-
site side. Take each section in this way,
and you will soon be able to get out the
pure pulp as quickly as you could slice
he oranges.
