Drinks for Colds.


 With the grip and feversh colds preva- lent, cooling drinks are in demand Chilled fruit juices are always acceptable, whether they be from the juice or dried fruits soaked over night, then cooked in the same <ater; tart homemade jellies dissolved in a glass of cold water, allow ing tablespoonful of jelly to a glass of water, or the juice of lemons lines, or anges or grape fruit diluted with the water and sweetened to taste. One patients finds nothing more acceptable than the juice of an orange squeezed in a glass the same as lemon for lemonade ing. To prepare 1t peel and quarter tart apple, cover with water and cook un- til tender. Press to a pulp while hot, sweeten slightly, then cool and strain into a glass of cold water The water in which rice has been cooked, when strained, cooled and slightly sweetened or lightly salted is both nourishing and cooling. The addition of lemon juice makes an oriental drink greatly in demand in case of cold or fever. Oyster broth made with milk and chilled is often rel ished.
 The peculiar acid of buttermillx appeals meal water stands first. To make the latter put one cup oatmeal in a stone jar with a cup of sugar, the juice and thin yellow rind of three lemons. Cover with three quarts of boiling water and let stand until the sugar is dissolved. Strain and put on the ice.

February.

If February happens to be your birth month you will probably be interested Tn some facts regarding it.
 February was one of the months which the Emperor Numa added to the calendar 713 B. c.
 The name February comes from the Latin word, Februarus, meaning Ito ex- piate," because at this season, the Ro- mans celebrated the Festival of Expia- ton.
 The Anglo-saxons called it, "sprout- kale Monath,' as the cabbages sprouted at this time.
 It was later named, "sol Monath'-the Sun Month.
 The zodiacal sign for February is Pisces --F'ish-into which sign the sun moves on the nineteenth.
 From the first to the nineteenth of the month 1t is in the sign Aquarius. Both signs are said to influence one, particu- sarly the one prominent at the date of ones birth.
 If you were born between the first and the twentieth of the month, you will be blessed with strong common sense, keen perceptions, versatility, conservatism and remarkable executive ability.
 If your birthday occurs between the nineteenth and the end of the month the wise oracles say that in addition you are promised an extremely poetic tempera- rnent You will be thoughtful and studl- ous conscientious and faithful to duty kind. but very obstinate in holding to your own opinions, and economical to a fault.
