r HAT the theory advocated by DR..
Osler, the distinguished scientist,
who. while member of the faculty Of
Johns Hopkins university, declared
that mans usefulness is at an end
after passing life sixtieth milestone, is
theory that will not stand the test of
application to everyday life, is the
firm belief Of the vast majority of peo-
pie who have passed that age and con-
tinue to lead decidedly useful lives
and to take as keen an interest in af.

society. Not only this. but they give
the Osler theory solar plexus punch

passing the allotted ,three-score years

One of the most notable examples
that interest in life does not cease at

rain changed to hail, and immense
stones battered and ratified against
the vehicle. A brass band, rather de

TO CLEAN LACES.

Cream colored laces dean better
in gasoline than any other way,
though one must always remember
to use this inflammable liquid in
fireless room.
Put the soiled lace into an earthen-
ware bowl, cover deep with gasoline
and wash as in suds. II you can get
a pair of rubber gloves, draw them
on your hands and fasten at the wrist
before falling to work.
Gasoline acts unhappily upon tend
er skins. Souse the lace up and down
in the liquid, paying especial attention
to the soiled places. Then set the
bowl in a pan of boiling water, throw
a thick cloth over both, and leave the
lace in the gasoline until the water
in the outer vessel is cold. Lift the
lace, lay in a clean cloth and squeeze
out the gasoline.
Shake and hang up in the open air.
When it is dry, dampen on the iron
ing table and pull, inch by inch, into
shape. Cover with a moist, thin
cloth and irOn.-Pittsburg Press.
WHY TEA MUST NOT BOIL.
There is a reason for all the things
many housewives do blindly. A good
housekeeper will never boil her tea,
though she could not tell you why.
Here is the reason: The desirable
elements in tea are the stimulating
principle, theme and the essential oil,
which gives fragrance. An undesir-
able element in tea is tannin, bitter
astringent substance. Tannin in the
stomach interferes with digestion by
hardening the proteid substances in
the food. it also toughens and hard
ems the lining Of the stomach. The
problem is to make tea SO as to Sc
cure the desirable qualities and avoid
the tannin. This is really a very
simple thing to do. The essential oil
and theme are readily and quickly
dissolved from the tea leaves upon
the application Of boiling water. Sim.
mering water makes weak. insipid in
fusion tea. After the water has stood
on the leaves five minutes, the pres
ence OF the astringent tannin is ap-
parent, and II the water with the
leaves be boiled rather than STEPPED.
tannin is extracted in quantity. Tea,
made by pouring water over the
spent" tea leaves that have been left
standing in a teapot from previous
meal. is a slow but sure poison
