By Msuds E. cilIsy.

If troubled with rats. use crude oil
freely.
Milk is much better for wiping of
linoleum than water.
Meat soaked in crude oil is said to
be excellent bait for rodents.
Copper may be cleaned by securing
with a cut lemon dipped in salt.
A damp chamois is indispensable for
wiping of picture frames that are
enameled.
To make a boric acid solution use
one teaspoon boric acid to one pint of
water.
A slice Of bacon cooked with spinach
OF other green's gives a delightful sea-
soning.
Always scald the milk used in making
a custard. Then when it is baked il
will be always smooth.
A little alum dissolved in the water
In which cretonne is washed is an aid
In keeping colors bright.
It is better to keep tea and coffee in
alright glass jars. in a place not ex-
posed to strong light.
Scatter sassafras bark with wooden
goods and furs when putting them away
for the summer. It keeps moths out.
For wiping off a vanished paper, use
warm water and parafin-half cup
full of paramn 10 a pailful Of water.
Strong soap suds and water in which
there is washing soda is fatal TO china
or glassware decorated in gilt.
A little vaseline or oil rubbed over

Lying on the back with the arms
thrown over the head invites disease
of the throat, eyes, and nose.
The pressure of the pallet against the
back Of the throat prevents free
breathing and weakens respiration; the
mouth opens and collects foreign and
injurious matter floating i'm the air Nor
should the arms be folded on the chest
which needs freedom from weight. To
lie with one hand on the cheek invites
wrinkles and slightly numbs the skin.
Beware of the frown of discontinued
expression else they may leave their
imprint during the long hours Of the
night. As you find yourself yielding to
drowsiness summon a pleasant thought
that shall set the seal of peacefulness
upon your face Beware the dropping
of the jaw. even tiny bit; around the
mouth will settle heavy curved lines

BLASTING SPOILS
THE EGG SETTINGS

RISING SUN. Md, May 3t.-All en-
pioyes under IS years OF age were dis
charged from the state road quarry here
and were re-employed after their parents
or guardians signed papers releasing the
state from all damages in case Of an ac-
cident to life or limb.
Farmers who reside in the vicinity Of
the quarry have, on account of the heavy
blasting, been unable to hatch any chick
ems. 1t is a well-known fact that loud
peals Of thunder during storm will spoil
a setting Of eggs. Thus the refusal Of the
eggs to hatch is blamed upon the terrific

FRESH AT NIGHT
: One Uses the Right Kind Of Food.

NNNf
If by proper selection Of food one
can feel strong and fresh at the end
of a days work. 1t is worth while to
know the kind of food that will pro-
duce this result.
A school teacher out in Kans. says
in this connection:
Il commenced the use of Grape-Nuts
food FIVE months ago. At that time my
health was so poor that 1 thought
would have to give up my work alto
gether. / was rapidly losing in weight
mad little appetite, was nervous and
sleepless, and experienced. almost con-
stantly, q feeling of exhaustion.
i tried various remedies without
good results; then 7 determined to
give particular attention to my food,
and have learned something OF the
properties of Grape-Nuts for rebuild
ing the brain and nerves.
Il commenced using Grape Nuts
and have since made a constant and
rapid improvement in health, in spite
OF the fact that all this time 1 have
been engaged in the most strenuous
and exacting work.
Il have gained twelve pounds in
weight and have a good appetite. my
nerves are steady and sleep sound
have such strength and reserve force
that I feel almost as strong and fresh
at the close Of a days work as at the
beginning.
Before using Grape-Nuts was
troubled much with weak eyes but as
my vitality increased the eyes became
stronger.
II never heard OF food as nutritious
and economical as Grape-Nuts."
