Good Headache Cure.

One of the very best remedies for
a sick or nervous headache was sug-
gested recently by a Finnish servant
girl. She took raw potatoes without
either washing or pairing and cut them
into thick slices These were laid close
together on the forehead and temples
and kept In place by covering with
large handkerchief folded cornerwise
and tied in the back.
In short time the pain disap-
peared. AS the pieces OF patsito get
hot replace with cold fresh ones. They
give all the GOODNESS Of ice without the
incidental dampness, and there is not
the burning ensation ice often causes.
The potato is distinctly soothing.

either one alone. for it takes the hot
bath to cleanse the skin and the cold

Cleaning window..

Channels skin Is excellent for use in
cleaning windows. Hot water would
spoil 1t. Wash the windows with the
wet chamois skin. Rinse the skin and
squeeze it as dry as you can. Now
wipe the windows again with the damp
skin and leave what moisture remains
on the windows to evaporate. If the
windows are washed every week the
work will be lessened, for it only will
be necessary to wipe the windows once
with the dampened skin. The skin
must be kept perfectly clean or the
windows will be streaked. To clean
the skin after using it, lay fat on
table or sink and rub with plenty OF
soap and cold water.
