SIMPLE REMEDIES
FOR SORE THROATS

cold compress is one Of the best that can
be used for sore throat. To make it, a
bandage, such a folded handkerchief,

and over it entirely to cover the wet cloth

left exposed or the air. striking the skin
through it. will make the cold worse.
Gargling with diluted vinegar is an old
fashioned remedy to which many persons
cling, and is undoubtedly astringent and
may ease a cold. When the threat is sore
from dirt. however. it only initiates, and
things more soothing. or germ killers,
must be employed instead. 4 very weak
solution of carbolic acid is good: about
ten drops to three gills of water. This
thoroughly dsnfects the surface or
throat lining, and aids greatly in healing.
1t is always wise for "a person whose
throat is in bad condition to keep aloof
from others. for the illness is among the
most contagious and when the system

child who has it not only should not sleep
in the same bed with another. but should
be put into a room alone or with a grown
person. Children are peculiarly suscep-
tible to throat troubles and should be pro-
tected if possible.

THE AVERAGE WOMAN
AND THE SHOPGIRL

If civility is more imperative at one time
that an another it is when shopping. All
observing person who does much SHOP
ping becomes appalled, at the lack Oh
courtesy extended by purchasers to those
behind the counters. 1t may be forgetful-
ness that is the cause; but, be that as IL
may, the fact remains that shopglrls as
a rule are shown less courtesy than is eS-
tended to any other class OF working
women, and none has greater need OF IT.
The mere waiting on a number OF ar
ferent persons, no two of whom are alike,
is in itself nerve racking. Standing all
day, as most of them do, pulling out goods
and putting them away, taxes the physi-
cal strength. The atmosphere in which
they work is, as a rule, bad, and thus
every condition is against them being
good natured. so that any help that may
be given them by more fortunate per
sons whose paths in life are less siren.
uous should be held out. and, slight as 1t
may seem, pOlteneSS Is a great assist
ant to smoother moments. \ working girl
who is tired and worn out will not feel
the drudgery Of her labor half so much
if the customer whom she is serving IS
agreeable in manner and says please
and "thank you.' Some women take the
stand that it is not necessary to be pa
the argument of brutal mind. Polite
ness is always necessary, and if its use
really helps another it becomes more
than ever imperative.
In the rush of holiday shopping. and
the numerous exchanges that come after
ward shopgirls are taxed to their ut
most. BY the time Christmas is past they
are worn out with extra hours and the
unusual rush OF work. Their tempers
have probably been sorely tried and. be-
ing human. they are likely to he snap
pish. But even their i'll temper should be
no excuse for uncivility in another per-
son.
Their i'll humor is probably largely the
result of the shoppers neglect. Women
forget TO say please" that would help
SO much. Each can do her share, but
am of the opinion that the much criticised
shopgirls less to blame for rudeDesS
than are the women of leisure, who,
through thoushtlessness. set an. example
that is most unfortunate in effect.

Some simple home remedy that will cure
sore throat should be in the medicine
cupboard OF every housekeeper these
days. Gargles are among the best of
these and are easiest to use. They are
efficacious, as a rule, because many times
the trouble is entirely surface one due
to dust and dirt that has been breathed
into the mouth.
When this is the case almost any anti
septic will remove the trouble. Salt and
water, a teaspoonful of the former to a
glass of the latter. is excellent To gar
gle it the head is thrown way back SO
that the astringent will go far down the
throat without being swallowed. This
gargle may be done night and morning.
Others, made from preparations that are
bought prepared, are used in the same
way.
External applications are sometimes
beneficial. but when a throat is so sore
as to require one of these 1t is usually
wise to call in physician. Campflo-
rated OIL however. will do no harm and
may ease pain when the condition Is dis
tinctly due TO cold. This oil should be
thoroughly rubbed in under the jaw and
down the neck. This may be done at
night, but not in the morning.

NEGRO IN DOMESTIC SERVICE
Better Paid Than Any Glass Of I'm
skilled Labor.

Rev DIR. Matthew Anderson, pastor of
the Rerean Presbyterian Church ard
principal of the Berean Mammal Training
School Philadelphia made an address
last night on The Opportunity OF tie
Negro in Domestic Service at the CLOSING
session at Lincoln Memorial Church "f
the American Negro .tcademy. lie de-
clared that the negro was losing ground
as domestic servant, but that the white
people of this country preferred colorcd
servants if they were reliable and ga
pablo.
According to the speaker colpred do
nestle servants in Philadelphia and else
where had i'll many Instances been SUI
perSeded by foreigners. He said that col
ored servants Of the right sort knew best
how TO serve their employers, and that
domestic service was as honorable rs
other lines of work.
Domestic servants. DIR. Anderson assert
cd, were paid better than other classes "f
unskiled labor. and the domestic selN-
ant got his board lodging. light and fu".
and in man. instances clothes he could
save at least half OF his wages, If there
be no membranes.
Rev. DR.. J. f. Morelrnd read paper
on THE Demand and supply of AN In
creased Efficiency III the Negro Ministry
in which he urged broader trained MN
iStry. He declared that some ministers
and theological students would do better
as farm hands. The negro ministry. ac-
cording to the speaker. had done much
TO uplift the race. but the great need OF
the present was adequately trained Spir-
itual leaders in order that the masses may
be led out of darkness.
In the discussion al the round table
in the afternoon the president. Archibd Id
II. Grimke of Boston. declared that the
negroes of his home city only in small
measure awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity to obtain a high school cduca-
ton and that the few colorcd students at
Harvard University came mostly from
distance.
The academy decided 10 establish
library at some convenient place in the
city where the books of colorcd 'authcl-s,
as well as treatises on the race question.
would be omen to students.
