POULTlCES AND PLASTERS

There is a time in every mans life
when he needs a poultice. So 1t IS
every woman's duty to know how 10
make several kinds. The following
points will apply to all poultices:
Make them large in the first place, SO
that they will retain the heat as long
as possible; apply as hot as can pc
borne by the patient and renew the
minute they begin to cool. They VIII
keep hot longer if the bowl they are
made in is put over boiling water and
the poultice is covered with oiled silk
or thin rubber when applied.
FIaxseed PouItice
Put the seed in a bowl, add boiling
water slowly, stirring constantly until
it is the right consistency for spread
ing. Spread half an inch deep be-
tween two layers of muslin. Fold the
two edges of muslin carefully to keep
the poultice from running out.
Bread PouItice
Fill a muslin bag with bread crumbs.
dip 1t in a pan of boiling water ana
squeeze until it does not drip.
Charcoal Poultice
Mix powdered charcoal with flax
seed, Indian meal or bread. This poul-
tice is good for sores that have a dis
agreeable odor
Plasters
Plasters are used for counter-irrl-
tantS and their strength should be
adapted to the tenderness of the skin
and the amount of irritation it is nee
essary to produce. Pure mustard is
very irritating and quickly blisters
tender skin, so it should be diluted
with -four; half flour and half mus
tard makes as strong a plaster as an
average skin can endure, and where
a mild irritation is required one-fourth
mustard is quite sufficient. White of
egg mixed with the mustard is said
to prevent it from blistering.
Mustard Plaster
Where a moderate irritant is re-
uuired take one teaspoon of Stickney
& Poors mustard flour and to it three
teaspoons of white -four mix together
thoroughly with sufficient water to
make a pliable mass. Spread quar-
ter of an inch thick on piece of old
muslin, cover with gauze and fold the
edges we'll. Always be careful about
having the cloth large enough; 1T is
very disagreeable to have the stuffing
run out.
Spice Plaster
Mix equal parts of ground ginger,
cloves, cinnamon, allspice and one
fourth part cayenne pepper. Put the
whole in a flannel bag and when 1t is
to be used, wet it with hot whisky or
alcohol. This plaster is very soothing
for toothache or neuralgia.
Dry Application
Put bran, hops, camomile flowers or
salt into a thick flannel bag, heat the
bag in the oven or in tin plate on
top of stove, hold in place if neces-
sary by bandages. Always keep two
bags going, so you will not have to
wait for the relocating of the bag. If
they are heated slowly they will stay
hot longer.

APRIL.
A smile, a sigh, vague unrest,
LIES pulses leaping high,
A flash of color ON the hills.
A sob, smile. a sigh.
The vanished beech puts forth Its puos'
The naples crimson glow.
Through purplish blush on branching elm'
Lies eager chickering's show
A sob, a sigh and then smile,
And orchards Ger the way.
In flush of white and rose proclaim
The hopes of April day.

The Tale Of a Humid.

Postmaster Farley has always been
a firm believer in the evil effects of as
sociating in bad company. as applied
to human beings, hut It remained for a
pet bulldog of his to further substan-
tiate that theory and apply the same
rule 70 the animal world recently.
Farley is the possessor of a handsome
white bull terrier, that ordinarily is
the pink of perfection when it comes
to decorous habits around the prem
ises. and when alone the idea of going
on a rampage. and doing some the
things that is laid up at the terriers
kennel door, is beyond the widest
fancy of it's owner. The story goes
that Mr.. Farley's dog and one owned
by Dan Kenny, the sewing machine
agent, which happens to be OF the
same breed, are in the habit of play
ing together. the same being the cause
of the two dogs downfall and dis
grace Two heads must be better than
one in dog -dom as well as in the hui
man spices, and things being rather
quiet around the Farley premises, the
two animals went on a still hunt for
excitement. Arriving at the chicken
yard of Joe Kramer's on West Joliet

on ten of the choicest pullets in the

two mischief loving terriers can ac-
complish were the ten hens. the pride
of Mr.. Kramer's flock, and tearing
down the street fiecked with blood and
featrs were the two culprits. It didn't
take the owner of the chickens long
to trace the dogs to their home where
the owners settled the damage
amounting to some i've dollars apiece
for the afternoons work of their pets
Now each of them are trying to figure
