 Woodstock, beautiful Woodstock, is taxing on neat Spring and summer appearance. In some cases people age helping nature by trimming the trees ana cutting down the brush along the roadsides and relaying old tumbled down stone walls. Such work ought to be encouraged. We cannot of course, afford 10 give prizes for suea work. but could We not at least give honorable mention to those who really do some thing to beautify their surroundings?

FOR THRILLING ILLS
IMPORTANCE OF SOME. KNoWL.
EDGE OF MEDICINE.
Ailments Likely to Become Serious
Can Be Checked In Their Incipl-
ency II One Understands How
to Deal with Case.

It is good thing for at least one
member Of every family to have. a lit
tie knowledge of medicines, in case of
emergency, and the Information should
be acquired by one sufficiently inter-
ested to make some study of the mat
ter. Some people regard minor all,
ments as too trifing for any attention,
while others grant so much impor-
lance to slight disturbances that there
Is eventually great waste of time and
money. 1t would seem that some one
in family who would observe care
fully, storing valuable knowledge by
experience, and who would study trust
worthy sources, would prove to be an
indispensable comfort in the home.
She will know just when the doctor is
needed, and just what to do without
him, or to assist, and in that knowl-
edge will show herself as praiseworthy
as a thrifty housewife or a matchless
cook.
There are so many emergencies for
which frail humanity must be pre-
pared that one short article could
scarcely begin the long list. But the
following few suggestions may serve
as the first guide post on this particu-
lar path of research. Cause, proven
ton and cure should be the systematic
divisions of this study. Colds" are
concerning a good many households
just now; it is always so at the change
OF seasons. Impure air is a powerful
ally of this disease. 1t may be in a
bedroom, schoOlroom, a public hall,
a crowded drawing room. There is
more illness caused by defective ven
tilation than by draughts. If one is
exposed to the latter, and yet is warm
ly clad and moving briskly, there is no
danger. The factor most potent in re.
sisting cold is healthy circulation of
blood; such a condition cannot exist
for a moment without pure air.
Preventives of cold and its various
catarrhal conditions consist chiefly in
common sense, that rarest of all vir-
tues. That means keeping the body
sturdy in all its vulnerable points-a
throat that is used to exposure, a head
that often goes hatless, feet that may
get wet without harm providing they
are reshod as soon as inactive), body
that never feels the cold when it is
hurrying about in fresh air. The cure
of colds is simple matter if begun in
time. The first signs of cold should
be the signal for treatment.
Then there are such little trouble
some matters as nosebleed, earache,
infamed eyes, mouth sores and the
large and various number of ills re-
sulting from fever and deep-rooted dis
ease. The amateur student of these
difficulties should not rely upon her
scrapbOok when biding emergencies.
She should learn by heart her store Of
wisdom and above all things cultivate
good judgment

How to Boil an Eco.

Most people drop an egg into boiling
water and let 1t cock steadily for three
minutes for a so-called soft.boiled
egg. The proper way to soft-boil an
egg is to remove the saucepan from the
fire when the water reaches boiling
point; drop the egg in at the moment
of removal, cover the saucepan and
leave the egg in the water for six
minutes. When there are two eggs let
them stay eight minutes. For medium.
cooked, ten minutes are required, and
for hard-boiled half an hour.
