HINTS FOR THE SICK ROOM

The terrible hot wave that swept
over the country recently was pau
enough for we'll folks to bear but for
those who are compelled to remain IN
one room or in bed all the time IL
was far worse. Did you ever try using
q. palm leaf fan and tanning the heavy
hot air, from the corners, and thus
starting a circulation of purer air, or,
stand before a door and throw 1t quickly
back and forth, from one hand to an
other? 1t changes the air, ana one not
knowing about 1t will be surprised now
dtfferent Ii feels. Tie stout cord from
corner TO corner of room, wiring out
sheet or large piece of CLOTH and hang
en- II. and as 1t dries 1t cools the roonl'
and can be renewed as often as dry. A
few drops of oil of lavender, poured IN
n dish of hot water in room Is not
only very refreshing, but flies do not
like the odor, so agreeable to humans
and will leave in a hurry. Fan the
side of the bed, where patient has peen
living, and let him turn over on the cool
snot ard find great relief. When there
is a sore feed it by pouring on absor-
bent cotton beef tea made as for drink
ing. 1t is a new idea, but indorsed Dy
nurses and physicians alike. III you
have an atomizer the lavender water is
wonderfully refreshing when sprayed
over the room ana does not leave any
dead. stale smell afterward as many
other perfumes do.-Bethra Lledeah'

Bananas with tomatoes-Peel three
bananas and cut them In slices either
lengthwise or across, and slice three
or four large tomatoes. Put two table
spoonfuls of butter in frying pan, and
when melted lay in the bananas and
tomatoes and sprinkle well with salt,
pepper and one tablespoonful of sugar.
Let cook slowly, and when Drowned
on the bottom turn and add another
sprinkling Of sugar; brown again and
serve very hot.
Lima beans Hollandaise-Boil one
quart of beans until tender, sailing
them we'll when half cooked. Beat one
large tablespoonful of butter to a
cream, beat in the yolI of one egg, one
tablespoonful of black pepper and two
teaspoonfuls of lemon juice. When this
sauce is well mixed stir with the beans,
which have been drained, taking care
not to break them.
Creamed lima beans--Cover two cup
fuls of boiled lima beans with one scant
cupful of cream and let simmer in a
double boiler for ten minutes then add
one teaspoonful of butter, and season
as desired with salt, pepper and dash
of nutmeg.
Beets-Great care should be taken in
washing beets that the small rootlets
are not broken or the skin of the beet
bruised as anything which causes the
Juice to escape Injuries both the taste
and the color. In the city beets are sell
dom obtainabe which require less than
two or three hours cooking; but really
young, small beets should not require
more than one hours boiling. When
boiled they should be drained, then
plunged into cold water, after which
the skin can be rubbed off with the
hand. Some, however, prefer that the
beets should be baked or steamed the
time Is much longer for such cooking

Tips on Your Toes

.To all women who wear pumps anu
tn those who walk much in slippers OF
the kind that are apt to slip OIL say
exercise your feet Here are some OF
nv rules. and they are good even for
the woman who does not wear elaborate
footgear," says pedicurist in the New
York Sun. ..,-o
when you go to bed at night take
your foot in your hand and twist 1t at
the ankle. Work gently, taking care
no. to strain it, but work 1t back ana
forth, to give the muscles something
to do.
"Stretch your leg out straight in front
of YOU and work your feet in such
wav that your toes are bent under your
foot. Then straighten them out as
straight as you can, bending them un-
der again. This is very good exercise
for the instep and also for the palm
of the foot, as l cal it.
Don't go to bed until you nave
dipped your feet in hot water, and be
sure to rub some kind of oil into them.
You may think you are fattening your
feet, but really you are only making
them more supple. Your foot can
stand a great deal of massage.
''When you go to sleep don't forget
your feet. Be sure that there is room
for your toes at the foot of the bed.
otherwise you will have a pressure upon
the tips of your toes, and this acts pre-
cisely the same as short shoes.
"I make a speciality. too, of big stock
ings. Most women wear stockings too

DRUGS for the Summer Traveller

wide. In case of any accident, such
as those to which children are liable
from falls. aftermath of a surface sore
caused by skinning, from fall or the
like, the watery place should be treated
with drying applications, not with
grease. Pure talcum shaken over them
absorbs and cools There are medi-
Gated powders especially for this pur-
pose.
Vaseline is a grease to be added to
the family chest.
Arnica or some other bruise easing
lotion must be taken, especially If there
are children. Also l believe in having
flask of high-proof alcohol or a bot
tie of cologne. In case of heat exhaus-
tion or illness one or the other is neces-
sary.
In my opinion no woman should move
for a trip of more than three or four
days, especially if she is travelling all
the time, or going to a strange place,
without a little alcohol lamp and tiny
kettle. Only a person who has some
time been without hot water in illness
knows how imperative it is that some
should be obtainable, and it Is not all
ways easy to secure. A kettle that
holds half a pint is sufficiently large,
and ore with a lamp can be bought
from q dollar up, according to the
quality. Alcohol sufficient for using
once or twice in the lamp should be
taken with it.
A small drinking cup is part Of the
equipment to be carried in a hand
bag. Under no circumstances should
particular person drink from the
glass to be found at the water tank
in q car. MARGARET MIXTER,

THE HOUSEWIFE AND THE BLUES

The housewife who is blue is doubt
less suffering from one of two causes.
She either takes too much interest in
her house or she doesn't take enough.
If she makes her home an idol, if she
allows every speck to fret her and
worries each time the cook slips up in
q meal, or the waitress chips a plate,
her nerves will suffer, and weakened
nerves and blues are twin sisters.
Her cure is more normal view of
her relation to her home. She should
not lessen her interest in housekeeping,
merely direct it on a broader plan. Let
her be the impressionist and aim for
effect rather than detail; let her also
ground herself in the belief that no
household damage or kitchen shortcom-
ing is worth the deadly gloom that the
blues bring in their trail
The woman whose house fails to in
terest her is probably blue from do
less-ness She lacks a wholesome inter-
est to keep thoughts from dwelling on
her aches and pains or to prevent her
from boredom
Let her take over control of her
housekeeping for a time, study out
more systematic ways to run it, try
how much she can save in a month
without feeling change in her style of
living, plan the daily meals with a
thought to nourishment and variety at
note how her spirits improve.
This cause of the blues is more fire.
Guent with women who have money
enough to provide competent servants.
They are sure that things will be well
run, so pay small attention to the
methods. Where the cost must be
counted, where woman must do her
own work entirely or in part, there Is
not much time for getting low in ones
mind.
The past winter young housekeeper,
whose home had run so smoothly that
she never gave it a thought, suddenly
lost the cook who had been with her
for three years, and at the same time
found that immediate retrenchment
was necessary.
The husband proposed giving UP
housekeeping and boarding, but the
girl decided to first take a smaller
house and try to run it herself. She
sought advice from an aunt who was
famed for her management of small
income, and in few months found that
not only was she able to keep down
costs. but was happier and freer from
the blues than at any time since her
marriage.

Just a bit o. green a growing, but enough
for me to see
The hand O. God a-worlSing and a-doing

It's a-showing and a-teaching me the whole

For see the life was started long before
the world began.
And the life o. man and flower is identi-

Just a difference in the makeup and a-call-

OLD LACE

You should never clean old laces
with gasoline. and for very good
reason. Read on and see whether you
will not always remember this, because
IL is so much more commonsenslDle
than most recipes. The gasoline, which
Is the far-famed and proverbial grease
remover, will take the natural OIL ou'
of the lace threads, which, 1T must be
remembered are a vegetable product
rendering them crisp, stiff and liable
to snap.
Lace should first be soaked in cold
water, then shaken in bottle in
lukewarm water to which has been
added the merest pinch of borax.
This should be thoroughly rinsed out
to prevent it's rotting the delicate
fabric. When lace is very handsome
1t should first be basted to old linen
to keep it from stretching, and IT
should be speedily taken out of the
hottest rays Of the sun when thor
oughly dry. There is no necessity for
scorching it indefinitely.

nY process of elimination the size of
Il of a family medicine chest to be
- carried during summer travels
may be materially reduced. For so
rarely is a person beyond reach of an
immediate supply of drugs or physi-
clans services that to load down ones
trunk with a pharmacopia Is bother-
some and unnecessary. Mustard plas-
ters should not be left behind ever for
the shortest trip. If hot water cannot
be had during an attack of pain, they
may be made to serve as substitute,
and may prevent serious stomach OF
intestinal trouble.
Spirits of camphor are invaluable. 1t
is good for so many different purposes,
and a small quantity is sufficient. A
few drops on a lump of sugar Will
sometimes check head cold If 1t has
not progressed far; rubbed on the
gums when a tooth aches 1t acts as
an excellent counter-irritant. Many
persons find it soothing to apply locally
to bruises. and for muscular pain from
colds it is a panacea. A drop applied
frequently to a developing fever blister
will nip it in the bud, and L know
persons who apply it even as a sooth-
ing wash for sunburn.
A rubber hot water bag is imperative
in the medicine chest, and small ice
bag should not be omitted. One is less
likely to find this type of bag in a
country druggists shop than in city,
and If required 1t is a most important
article.
Talcum powder I regard, not as a
luxury, but as a necessity; also a roll
of muslin bandaging an inch or TWO

Creamed beets-Boil six or seven me-
dium-sized beets until tender, then re-
move them from the saucepan and
place them in cold water; rub the
skins off carefully with the hands, and
cut them in half-inch cubes. Make a
sauce of two tablespoonfuls of flour
and one-half cupful of the water in
which the beets were boiled, two table
spoonfuls of cream two tablespoonfuls
of vinegar, two teaspoonfuls of sugar,
one-half teaspoonful of salt and one
saltspoonful of pepper Pour the sauce
over the hot beets and serve in heated
deep dish.
Virginia beets-Carefully peel boiled
beets and with sharp knife cut them
into very thin and even slices, laying
them as sliced into heated vegetable
dish: when a layer has been made over
the bottom, dot it well with butter,
season lightly with salt and sprinkle
with one tablespoonful of granulated
sugar. then arrange another layer OF
beets with butter, salt and sugar and
proceed in this way until the dish Is
filed The work should be done near
the fire in order that the beets may
not cool, as the dish should be served
very hot If, however, the beets have
cooled in preparation. set them in a
hot oven for few minutes and turn
them with a spoon in the, dish before
serving in order that they may be juicy.
Pigment beets-Peel hot, cooked
beets, cut into slices and toss about for
three or four minutes in a saucepan
which contains three teaspoonfuls of
butter to which has been added one
teaspoonful of plain vinegar or few
drops of tarragon. two cloves and one
teaspoonful of sugar.
Piquant beets-Peel hot cooked beets,
spoonful of butter melted in a sauce
pan, to which add one tablespoonful of
flour. two teaspoonfuls of onion juice,
one-half teaspoonful Of salt, one table
spoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful of
lemon Juice and enough hot water to
make the sauce the right consistency;
then add freshly sliced cooked beets,
and let all cook together three or four
minutes before serving.
Picked beets-Place slices of cold
beets in a deep porcelain or glass re-
ceptacle; place some pepper corns
among them and few allspice cover
with mild vinegar and let stand ten or
twelve hours before using.

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR WOMEN

1t is only in recent years that women
have ioined the ranks of professional
nhotographers Beginning by taking
il M as a hobby, they have now dis
covered that their knowledge can be
turned to very profitable account
although there are many branches
in which the woman photographer can
earn a satisfactory income says an
expert, II strongly recommend spe-
rial study of studio work. AT the pres
emf time there are few women opera
TORS. and this branch of the work pre-
sents excellent opportunities. A goou
onerator can earn a substantial income
and the duties are suitable to women
"a canable professional woman is
likely to be more successful than man !
in photographing women. Inc resui. VI
photograph really depends On Ia Ia
nose of the sitter and a woman shoulo
he able to arrange the draperles ana
coiffure Of a woman client to the best
advantage.
'1The work is extremely interesting
ana varied. while it also requires q
great deal Of personal attention. When
the actual photograph has been taken
many processes have to be undergone
before the finished article Is obtained.
Great care is needed in dealing with
the negatives developing is a special
branch of its own and requires special
knowledge. 1t is, perhaps, the most
interesting process connected with pho
Biography. AS the picture gradually
appears on the negative the success or
failure of the photograph hangs III the
balance.
"T should advise all girls who intend
to start in business for themselves
to go through full course of trainines
with a photographer of established
reputation. She will most likely nave
to pay a premium. but after a time she
will receive q nominal salary until her
training is complete.
Small towns, as rule, offer excel
lent opportunities, so that girls IN the
country need not be debarred from
entering The profession for fear of the
expense of removing to town and set
ting up business in a great CITY,"

WOMEN AND PATRIOTISM

Mrs. Sarah Platt Decker agrees with
Bishop williams that some people of
the United States, while making a great
show of patriotism, refuse to take up
the simplest obligations of citizenship,
and she thinks the Daughters of the
American Revolution will enter the po-
litical field in an effort to alter this con-
dition. In Boston during the last ma
tional election, she says, it was report
ed that 10000 of the best citizens did
not go near the polls. If this should
continue, she says, it would undoubted-
Iy be the duty of the D. A. r. and all
patriotic orders to come to the rescue.

A cream that will act as bleach for

ointment and a couple of drops of altar

bone or wooden (new) spoon must be
used for mixing in q china cup. The
cream is rubbed into the skin at night.
If it irritates after time its use should
