Hot water is far more of medici-
nal property than many believe or
know. The uses of hot water are
many. There is nothing that so
promptly cuts short congestion OF
the lungs, sore throat or rheuma
tism as hot water when applied
promptly and thoroughly. Head
ache almost always yields to the
simultaneous application of hot waite
to the feet and back of the neck. A
strip of flannel or napkin folded
lengthwise and dipped in hot water,
wrung out and then applied round
the neck of a child that has the
Group, will bring relief sometimes in
ten minutes. Hot water taken free
ly half an hour before bedtime is
helpful in the case of constipation,
while it has a most soothing effect
upon the stomach and bowels. A
goblet of hot water taken just after
rising, before breakfast, has cured
many of indigestion, and is widely
recommended by physicians to dys-
peptics.

AT one time a chap in business
in that town known to be practising
questionable methods sought to re-

smoothing over his crooked conduct

attorney astonished him by eXclaim-

opinion?" asked the man. as he rose
to go.
"'Yes, sir; five dollars.'

A tall man, impatiently pacing the

"S-s-say," he said, 'd-d-do you

A Rainy Day and Its Opportunities

A Rainy Day and Its Opportunities.
An old-fashioned rainy day is a
splendid time to begin on those odd
things that we have put off from day
to day. AS one is apt to be free from
Interruptions a long day of accom-
plishment will be the result. In the
kitchen prepare some flour and lard
for pastry, put it in fruit jar and
have it all ready for pie some time
when you are in great rush for a
dessert. Get pound of raisins, cut
with the scissors, ready for use. Crate
the ends of the cheese ready for
souffles or escalloped dishes. Make a
list of recipes that you have been
wanting to try, but couldn't find them
when you wanted them. After listing
them, index them by noting after each
in which cook book found. This is
also good time to plan weeks
menus and look up ways of using left
overs.
Does the ironing board need a new
cover? This is a free half-hour to at.
tend to that.
Write the long neglected letter;
read that magazine article; look over
your desk and leave it in perfect or
der.
Is there drawer that was hurriedly
disturbed the other day? Spend a
little time rearranging it.

The makers of the centennial week program

aeroplanes the bateau OF Laciede's day, with its
stumny mast, its cordelle and its sweeps is an
educational feature of the water pageant, which
includes crafts OF all the kinds which now ply the

CHILDREN SHOWED IT
Effect of Their Warm Drink in the

A year ago was wreck from

of giving up my position in the school
room because Of nervousness.
Il was telling a friend about it and
she said, We drink nothing at meal
time but Postum, and it is such
comfort to have something we can
enjoy drinking with the children
Il was astonished that she would
allow The children to drink any kind of
coffee, but she said Postum was the
most healthful drink in the world for.
children as well as for older ones, and.
that the condition of both the children
and adults showed that to be a fact /.
my first trial was failure. The
cook boiled it four or five minutes and
it tasted so fat that was in despair
but determined to give 1t one more
trial. This time we followed the direc-

Household Hints.

Leave the cover off the saucepan
when cooking cabbage or onions and
the odor will not penetrate the house.
A good rule to remember in using
salt while cooking vegetables is that
the root vegetables are improved by
it, but peas are toughened.
In cooking green corn add a tea
spoonful of sugar to half dozen ears.
A little sugar improves peas while
cooking.
Do not depend upon your memory
to know your jellies or sauces. See
that they are well marked when put
away
Try adding a little shredded green
pepper to the creamed chicken. it is
great improvement.
Add little ammonia to the water
when putting roasting pan to soak:
it will then wash very easily.

Hot Weather Ideas

Eat less, drink more, work less
play more, worry less, relax more and
be happy. Every one owes it to him
self to take vacation, change OF
some sort, If it is only day in the
country, or day at the park and just
do nothing, not even think any more
than possible. The children are hap.
pier for it and SO are the older peo-
pie.
Cooling vegetables like tomatoes
and cucumbers are very refreshing in
hot weather. There are SO many ways
of serving them that one may always
have variety. Did you ever serve ripe,
sweet tomatoes, sliced, with sugar
and cream? If not. try them Many
consider them as good as the much
priced peach. A sandwich which is
both wholesome and appetizing and
nice for Sunday night lunch, is pre-
pared by chopping young green on
ions fine. season with a bit of salt,
pepper, vinegar, oil and mustard and
spread on the slices of buttered bread.
Watermelons and muskmelons are
the ideal fruit for hot weather as they
supply the water so much needed in
the body.
A delicious manner of serving
muskmelons is to chill thoroughly and
after removing the seeds add bit of
lemon juice. This bring out the fla
vor. Muskmelons are nice cut in
cubes, sprinkled with sugar and lem
on juice, to be served as a sauce for
supper.
When serving ice cream the service
may be made more attractive and ap-
petlz1ng If a spoonful of preserved
fruit like strawberries or pineapple
be added to each dish. With chopped
nuts this makes the popular sundae.
