Precautions Necessary When Disln-

Breaking Cold Quickly
Easily Made Pouitice.

In entering a room in which disin.
lectant has been burning for several
hours one should cover the mouth and
nose with a wet cloth to shut out the
tunes.
Care should be taken that the win
lows were not locked before the sui
phur is started, as otherwise they can
not be opened quickly and 1t is dan
yerous for person to remain long
in the sitting atmosphere.
II the windows are on a porch or
roof they should be opened after disin-
fecting from the outside, thus avoid
ng all danger to the opener.
To Break Cold Quickly.-In addi-

break cold, such as taking a few
grains of quinine when first felt, or
six or ten drops of camphor on q

the disease is conquered.
Drink plenty Of water, eat sparingly,
avoid coffee and other stimulants and
be careful not to overfatigue your
self or expose yourself to draughts.
This does not mean, however, living In
hermetically sealed rooms. as colds
usually flee more quickly II one has
plenty Of fresh air.
A Convenient Poultice.-When for
any reason, poultice is necessary.

1t retains the heat so long; moreover,
1t is very simply made.
Make two square bags Of muslin Of
convenient size, according to the part
afflicted. Half fill these bags with po-
tatoes that have been freshly peeled
and put them on to boil.
When tender mash the potatoes in
the bag and apply 1t to the patient,
using 1t as hot as it can be stood with.

While the other is cooling crush the
potatoes in the second bag and have
it ready to use when the first is taken
