Do not throw away your smelling
salts when the liquid has evaporated,
leaving them dry, and you think you
have had them 50 long a time that
they are no longer of any use. Renew
them. That is. pour over them some
perfumed ammonia-violet, lavender
or whatever the salts may have been
originally.
The cold bath is not cleansing at all.
An excellent bathing rule is a warm,

salt rub every morning. During the
warm bath use a firm bath brush.

It is a perfectly amazing thing in
the Summer how much clabbered milk
is thrown away by careless housewives
and wasteful. ignorant serving maids.
who fail to discover in it the founda-
ton for innumerable tasty dishes. PAN
cakes. biscuits. gems, gingerbreads,
ETC., made with sour milk are much
more tender and delicate than those
compounded with sweet milk, so that
economy in this particular instance Is
not only saving Of money, but "ele-

Cranford-in its results. Here are
some of the ways in which sour milk
may be used with particularly gratify-
ing results: iIe4.
Cottage Cheese.-Put thick sour
milk in a pan and cover with boiling
water from the teakettle. Let stand on
the back of the stove few moments
until the curd separates from the
whey, then pour into a bag and let it
drip until dry. Salt well, sprinkle with
paprika or add a tablespoonful pepper
grass cut fine. Add little cream and
melted butter to moisten, and make
into pats or pile lightly on a pretty
dish. Minced olives or ground nuts
are also nice mixed with the cream
cheese.
Cabbage Salad.-Chop or shave fine
half medium-sized head of cabbage
that has been left in cold water until
crisp, then drain. Season with salt
ing made in this way: Beat the yOlks
of two eggs, add two tablespoonful5
melted butter and beat again. Add
two tablespoonfuls thick sour cream,
two tablespoonfuls sugar, a sprinkle Of
mustard and half a cupful of vinegar.
Beat until thoroly incorporated, pour
over the cabbage and toss lightly until
uniformly seasoned.
Molasses Cookies.-Put into bowl
one and one-third cups molasses, one
cup brown sugar. cup sour milk
in which heaping teaspoon
full soda has been dissolved. Add
one teaspoonful vinegar, and stir until
the soda has stopped "purring." Now
add one cup melted shortening, one
beaten egg, one tablespoonful each
cinnamon and ginger and a Saltspoon-
full salt. Mix, add flour enough to
make as soft dough as can be rolled
out, cut in thick cookies and bake in
a quick oven.
Her eyes require immediate and
careful attention on her return to
town after the Summer season,
if woman would avoid having
fine wrinkles. The action of street
dust upon the skin after the strong
sunlight of warm days quickly shows
a harmful effect That this may be so
Is easily seen when one remembers
that being much on the water or in
the open air causes slight tension Of
the muscles about the eyes as they feel
the glare, and if, as they relax, the
skin Is dried instead of icing nourish-
ed wrinkles are inevitable.
We all may wish that we massaged
our faces every night, and agree that
it is an excellent thing to do, but the
truth is that few of us do it regularly.
Yet advancing age first shows itself
about the eyes, wherefore must we
massage there nightly.
Before going to bed wash the face
we'll, and then wet a cloth in hot wa
ter. Put this as hot as you can stand
it, under one eye at the place where
crows feet appear, and at the top of
the cheek bone. Have another cloth
soaking, and as the first cOols apply
the second Do this for five minutes
to open the pores we'll
Wipe gently, and then with the fin
ger tips rub in any cold cream you
like, beginning at the corner, where
the first finger of the left hand should
be laid to hold the flesh firm. Then
with the first two fingers of the right
hand apply the cream by stroking gen.
tly down. going in the direction of the
side of the nose. Do this for 10 times
at least, and then directly over the
cheek bone rub with circular motion.
This operation should consume GER
tainly five minutes, and to finish cold
water should be spatted over the skin.
Repeat the treatment about the 9TH
er eye.
If this is done faithfully it will pre-
vent crows feet, but practiced regular
ly for a month it will stave them for q
time.
One cannot be too particular about
removing every bit of dirt from the
face before going to bed If the COM
pleXion is to be at all preserved. This
