The woman who stays at home can
fix many inexpensive and palatable cold
dishes for the girl who goes down town
Among them are jellied chicken and
| many kinds OF fish, cold, boiled and
served with mayonnaise. One may even
have beef jelly. made by long boiling
| of the meat, seasoning with gelatine
Such dishes as these do much to keep
| one In good condition.
| For a person of leisure who can give
the time to il, taking hot drinks. such.
as tea, is undoubtedly cooling, but the
method by which hot liquid makes one
| cool is often unpleasant, for it induces
| a flow of perspiration. Iced drinks are
| bad for the digestion and intestines
however, and woman should realize
this before she has been made ill.,
Half the secret of keeping cool is cool
thinking. Nothing will quicker send I'M
| the temperature of the blood and in
crease the flow of perspiration than to
become irritated or fretful about the
condition of the weather In addition

fcular activity should not be INDUCED

| so ordered that they can enjoy any
great degree of leisure, so the best that
| can be done in this direction is not to
hurry unnecessarily. With even the
busiest there are moments when strenu-
BUSINESS may be relaxed, and none of
these resting spots should be neglected
This Is said to be a good cure for n

not be borne any longer. If the sore
ness is not gone in half an hour, re-
peat it.
Poison ivy abounds, and people to in

Self-depreciation partakes of the same
character as self-assumption. Both
come from overthought of self. and both
vanish when self is merged in some
| thing else Just as soon as we are
earnestly anxious for some result we
begin to work for it, without stopping
to gauge our powers or to think any
thing at all about them. The mother
who ardently loves her child and desires
his best good does not spend her time
| in bewailing her unfitness to take care
of him. She begins at once, and does
her best, and her power grows with
every effort. The business man with a
family depending upon him, does not
delay providing for them because he
distrusts his ability to do so; he forgets
to consider that. and simply pursues his
work as we'll as he can. So in every
instance, il the self-depreciative will
cease thinking about themselves at all,
and devote all their thought and energy
to the duty in hand, they will find their
strength and fitness for the work grow
with exercise. and the fears which have
stood in the way of success will melt
away.

In nursing contagious disease it is
well to gargle the throat many times
day to avoid contagion. An antisep-
tic mouth wash should be used, or. at
least, fairly strong solution-of salt
water. which is both healing and cleans

The habitual use of pure and good
olive oil is recommended by leading
medical authorities to all classes: it
''lubricates the system" Its use is
moreover, highly recommended to the
sick, delicate and ill-nourished persons
both children and adults. 1t Is inval-

wholesome of all fatty substances, be-
cause it is the most easily digested and
assimilated. 1t is highly nutritious, and
is regarded as more wholesome than
animal fats. 1t should be used freely
on green salads
Olive oil, whether for food or medici-
nal use. should have an agreeable, fresh
flavor and be absolutely free from any
trace of rankness or nauseousness.
There must be nothing in it to offend
the palate or the sense of smell any
more than there is in, say, good fresh
butter. Olive oil can best be tasted
either by itself alone or on bread or
with plain boiled potatoes in lieu of
butter.
White enameled kitchen utensils often
become to all appearances hopelessly
ruined when food has burned in them.
Place mixture of strong soap-pOwder
and boiling water in them. and let them
stand two or three days without chang
ing the water. Then pour off and rub
the inside with a soft cloth. All black
ness and stain will disappear. Be care
full not to scrape before soaking this
way. as the enamel will crack.
When ironing, the best thing with
which to rub the irons is fairly large
