How to Keep Milk.

The most difficult of all problems in
hot weather is how to keep milk from
turning sour during q thunderstorm.
No matter how fresh it is, the cleo
tricity in the air has a disastrous
effect on it, so that 4 storm. even Of
short duration, plays havoc with the
contents of the refrigerator.
The discomfort of this exists not
only for the cook, who finds it is i'm
possible to do justice to her art, but
to the housckeepcr, who has her
dinner spoiled at moments notice.
More serious consequences arise
where there are young children who
depend entirely on milk for nourish-
ment.
Before the storm put the milk in a
bottle which is securely corkcd, then
place upside down in pail Of cold
water.
The water, being q nonconductor OF
electricity, keeps the charged air from
coming in contact with the milk.
After the storm is over take the
bottle out and place in the refrigera-
tor.

Warm soapsuds Should be prepared in a

or the air until it is quite dry, and then
jroned. II should be irbned on the wrong

To destroy tleas in a house wipe the
furniture, where it is possible, with
spirits Of naphtha, but do not let chill
dren go near it till quite dry. Another
recipe for destroying these troublesome
pests in an old house is to make a
strong decocti)n of laurel leaves and
boil it for several hours. With this,
while hot, del,1ge the floors. The
liquor will slightly discolor the cell
iYgs but they are easily whitened
again. Sprinkle camOmile flowers il,

carbolic soap freely for cleansing ptr-
poses throughout the house. 1t will
