A housekeeper with small children
found the closet room in her house very
limited and invented the following device:
a piece of smooth wire, small enough to
80 through the hole in the top of safety
pin was fastened to tie first hook in the
closet. Then sbe slipped on to this
number of large safety pins. The wire
was passed through or over each hook,
With number Of the pins between, and
fastened to the last hook, being drawn as
taut as possible.
In hanging garments up slip one or
two pins through the band, as may be
required. In this way great many
dresses may be hung side by side in a
small space, and an article can be hung
up or taken down without disturbing the
others.
This kind of clothesline will prove OF
great value in summer hotel, cattage or
ball bedroom. It can be made to hold
ones entire wardrobe, except the incest
things, and each garment can be seen
without wasting time in searching for it.
When the nose is bleeding never hold
1it over . basin or hold the bead down
in any way. This only causes fnrther
rush of blood to the broken tissues in the
nose. The head should be held up and
back, he fow being caught in handker-
chiefs or cloths. One Of the most effective
and simple means of checking n0sebleed
is to press on the upper lip. Near the
under surface of the lip runs the artery
that supplies the interior nasal passages
where the ruptures occur. If this is
pressed the fow of blood is mechanically
checked, thus allowing the blood around
the broken tissues to CONCEAL and seal up
the opening. If merely pressing with
the inge' does not succeed, place wad
of paper under the lip and fold the lip
over it, holding down tight. Again, if
this does not succeed and drug store is
near, get some adrenalin, saturate piece
of cotton with it and apply to the interior
of the nose from where the blood flows.
Brushing the hair thoroughly is abso-
lutely necessary. II it is not done all the
tonics and shampoos will prove a dismal
failure.
A bruised nail should be held for half
an hour in water as hot as it can be borne.
This will usually prevent the nail from
discoloring.
Lemons are very useful in health and
sickness. Hot lemonade is one of the
best remedies for ineipient cold. It is
also excellent In cases of billiousness,
A simple remedy for oiliness OF the nose
is to add little washing soda to the
water in which the face is washed. The
rich foods which cause pimples all affiict
the nose, and the only permanent cure is
a return to normal diet.
Eating apples for luncheon or breakfast
is one of the best habits woman who
uses her brain constantly can acquire.
They are healthful, easily digested and in
many persons overcome a tendency to
fulIness of blood in the head.
Perfect teeth and red gums are very
essential part of beauty. To keep both
in condition scrupulous care will be
needed. Very cold or hot as well as acid
drinks should be avoided and the mouth
rinsed after each meal. Salt is good to
add to the washing water.
No matter how many devices there are
in the way of patent cake pans, nothing
gives more general satisfaction for layer
cake than to line the pans with buttered
paper. It is a good idea to buy ten cents
worth of the common yellow wrapping
paper that is used in grocery stores. and
some day when you have little extra
leisure cut these sheets to fit the differenk
pans used. Thus some may be circular,
others square or oblong. Put these papers
carefully away in the pantry closet, and
they will prove. their worth when you
come to bake your cakes on crowded
Saturday morning. Do not grease the
pan, only the top of the paper. When
the cake is done, then it should be turned
upside down on a cloth and the paper
pulled off as quickly as possible.
