Ills Lake, Is very Inconsistent and
were it not known to most people

stands and the Inconsistency of it's
utterances.# $,555r II s. - ~:

ORDINARY INJURIES

"a UGH annoyance and no little e1-
Epense in doctors bills can fre-

everyday injuries, II one only knows
what 10 do at -he right moment There
is a frst-aid o-the-iRjured remedy for all
such misfortunes as something IN The
eye, in the nose, or In the ear, choking,
insect bites, etc. II something gets In
your eye while walking on the street,
hold the eyelids as far apart as possible
and then pull the upper one down as far
as 1t will 60 at the sane time blowing
the nose. As soon as possible battle the
eye IN lukewarm water
II some foreign substance has gotten
up Inside the nose, press the opposite
nostrH tightly shut and e1hals fOrcibly
through the obstructed passage
II an ear obstruction is the trouble, s
flushing with warm water should bring
relief. OF with olive oil Il the obstrue-
ton be an insect.
The white OF an egg unbeaten is al
excellent remedy for choking. II the
sufferer be d child It is a good plan to
hold him with his head down and beat
him on the back lightly.
An application OF ammonia. baking
soda or vet mud IS g cure for insect
bites, while whisky should be admins
tered at once II bitten by a snake Vine
gar and baking soda mixed should be
applied to burns. An ordinary cut can
often be stopped from bleeding By bath
ing IN hot water and witch hazel The
wound should then be washed clean and
dressed antiseptically.

GUNNER days viii soon be here IN

receive from them Is by 10 means IN
siloyed To the average family N large
cities and towns, who are unable Tor
financial OF other reasons 10 spend part
Of the hot season In the country, the pic
nic-psrty basket represents a great deal
The basket may be old. or Il may be
new, but II should always be Of generous
proportions, for picnic time is eating time
10 everyone from the head Of The house
20 the youngest member Of the family.
There are many different ways Of prepar-
iDe the lunch basket for the picnic party.
hut none is better than the one which
meets the approval OF those for whom
the food Is intended
Pick out the most desirable location
for your picnic party. Every town AID
city boasts OF some nearby beauty-spot
where nature has been lavish IN its boun-
ties Of shade and water II place can
be located that combines these qualities
With the additional one Of seciusiou, so
much the better The real spirit OF the
old-fsshioned picnic makes for 4 good
romp IN the open without being under the
ewes Of those unfortunates whose souls
are so small that they spend the best poT-

other people enjoy themselves instead OF

from the jostle and excitement OF the
crowded picnic resorts
What are you going to take IN the
basket
A good general rule 70 adopt is never
10 carry any food Oh an outing that IS
liable 20 mix things up. Many & good
custard pie has run riot II the picnic
basket and spoiled ali the food. Pack
everything soft In a sealed vessel as
wei as any food that gives out strong
odor. For Instance. II your husband likes
onions and little Susie cannot bear the
smell Of them, It Is not. necessary 10 make
the little girl miserable by compelling her
70 eat OnIOn-impregnated food.
Don't forget a liberal supply OF lemons
and sugar and a vessel of sufficient ca
pacity for the lemonade An old-fashi0ued
picnic without plenty OF lemonade would
resemble a wedding without a bride.
Do not carry along the family table
linen in an effort 70 do the thing up in
grand style. Such a course adds a whole
lot Of stiff formality 20 what ought 70 be
a carefree occasion Things are bound %

complete set OF linen is ruined as the 70
suit Of an outing Newspapers spread On
the grass form an admirable cover, while
little paper napkins can be procured at
very low price
And. above all, keep sunny throughout
the livelOng day.

CRAZE EOR IEWELRY

EFHITH the opening Of the present
season the craze for all kinds OF
~ jewelry IS noticeable The sum
mer fashion plates all show women wear
Ing enormous pieces. representing either
an animal. q symbol or a society en-
blem. Even the unfortunate friends OF
the woman who has got the craze are
likely 70 have their faces dragged into
public Oftener than they themselves
would desire. For the latest thing n
this class OF jewelry is a brooch IN the
form OF a frame, oval IN shape. made
either OF gold, silver or tortoise-shel Ny
lady looks over the photographs Of her
friends, picks out the one which she COZ
siders the most desirable and uses It
as al adornment at her neck
The jewellers are catering 10 the craze.
as they are bringing artistic ornaments
within the reach Of the smallest purses.
What ny lady wears, IN gold and dia-
monds, is being manufactured for Belin-
da IN brass and paste
The big earrings have taken better
hold since the opening Of the spring,
and the manufacturers look forward 10
a very decided advance IN the earring
business as the summer approaches
New coifure ornaments naturally come
with the introduction of the Greciau
style Of wearing the hair. These crea-
tons are elaborate and unique and are
very popular.
Fashion DEGREES that the necklace Is 4
necessary ornament. Many new designs
are in the shops. A very pretty one seen
recently gave the effect of q black db-
bon woven in a gold chain
