How to Dry Blankets.

Blankets after being washed should
be dried, if possible, on sunny day in
the open air, and if there is plenty
of wind so much the better.
To prepare a wash for the blankets
take two cakes of white or yellow
soap, cut them into pieces and dissolve
them in boiling water on the stove.
When the soap is quite melted remove
the saucepan from the stove and add
to the water two tablespoonfuls of
ammonia.
Take half of the prepared liquid and
pour it into a tub of lukewarm water,
put in the blankets, let them soak for
a quarter of an hour and squeeze and
press them gently the while. Then
take the rest of the hot soap and water
and put the blankets into this tub,
squeezing them about again. After
ward take them from the tub and
squeeze lido not wring) the water out.
then put the blankets into a tub of
clear water and rinse them well. Take
them out and squeeze them as dry as
possible, shake them. and hang them
very straight on a line, pulling and
shaking them periodically while they
are drying. When they are thoroughly
dry air them near a fire and they will
be ready to be put away.

SUBSTITUTES FOR SOAP.
How to Protect Tender Skins When
Bathing In Cold Weather.

Bathing IN Cold weather.
Persons whose skins are irritated in
cold weather by the use of soap should
Try substituting various cleansing mix
lures which may be put into the bath
water.
One mixture which is liked by many
women who possess delicate skins Is
made from one pound Of marshmallow
flowers, one-quarter Of pound of
hyssop herb and four pounds Of bran
-four The ingredients should be thor
oughly mixed dry in a basin, and then
about two heaping tablespoonfuls
should be put into bag.
The bags to hold this compound
should be made from cheesecloth. They
may be about six inches square. They
need not r. filled with the mixture, for
a smaller quantity will be sufficient to
soften the water, and the mixture If
too much is used will be lost. as Tag
can be employed only twice.
To get the best results the bag
should be in the tub at least half an
hour before the bath, and while bath
ing the little sack should be used as a
piece of soap.
For this purpose oatmeal is excel
lent, but if it is to be a soap substi-
tute the grains must be cooked for fif-
teen or twenty minutes to allow the
starch to come out more quickly. The
meal should be cold before being COM
bined with the other ingredients.
One such oatmeal bath formula re-
quires to FIVE pounds Of grain one
pound each of powdered Florentine or
ris root ard almond meal and one-half
pound of CASTLE soap reduced to
powder The almond meal may be
omitted if desired. It's presence great
" increases the cost of the mixture.
CamphOr is excellent for the skin,
being softening and whitening One
way of employing it is to put one-haf
ounce of tincture of benzoin and two
ounces of alcohol with one ounce OF
tincture of camphor.
Enough of this must be used in the
bath to make the water slightly
cloudy. Soap may be employed with
this compound.

examples. Some vegetables and grains
also contain proteids, especially peas,
beans, wheat, rye, corn. etc.
The non-nitrogenous elements are
divided into fats, carbohydrates (sug-
ars and starcheSI and salts.
In other words, we must find in our
food the same elements that enter
into the composition of the body.
The folly of trying to live on any
one particular kind of food will be ap-
parent to any one who familiarizes
himself with the constitution of the
body and its needs. The proteids are
required for building material and en-
ergy, the carbohydrates and fats for
storage and energy and the salts and
mineral elements for building pur-
poses aud to assist in the chemical
processes and exchanges going on in
the body.
What Is Digestion2
Digestion is the process of trans
forming food elements into substances
that can be absorbed into the blood
through the walls of the digestive
tract. If the digestive functions are
paralyzed food taken into the stomach
acts simply as foreign body and
causes irritation and finally, by its de-
composition, poisoning.
The digestive processes are carried
on by substances whose exact form
and constitution are unknown, termed
engines, or ferments.
But digestion does not begin in the
stomach. The saliva contains a very
important engine, ptyalin, which con-
gerts starch into malt sugar. The i'm
portance of thoroughly chewing all
starch foods, such as cereals, vegeta-
bles, bread, pastry, potatoes, etc., will
at once be apparent.
Counting your chews." however, is
not advised The act of chewing
should be natural and subconscious.

In fact, if the mind dwells too intently
on the subject of digestion the normal
functions are retarded. Count your
chews some time and note if your
jaws do not ache by the time you

In walking and note whether your
limbs do not quickly tire.
If the internal activities of our bod
les could be seen in their entirety,

probable that an unutterable WEAKNESS
would Cypress and stifle us.
Prolonged chewing of meat does not
appear to be required. The favorable
results from experimenting along this
line are probably due to the fact that
less meat was taken. The saliva does
not digest meat. On the contrary, by

HOW TO GROW CELERY.
Much Work Involved Though CuItiva-
ton Is Simple

Much Work Involved Though CuItiva-
ton Is Simple.
Cultivating celery, which is perhaps
our foremost salad vegetable, is very
simple, though it involves much work.
Seed should be sown in frames or cool
greenhouses three months before set
ting out the plants. which should be
done in the early part of July. The
amateur gardener may obtain the
plants all ready to set out. They
should be put in rows six inches apart.
A moist peat soil is to be preferred,
though celery can be grown in clay or
even a sandy soil with proper fertility
and drainage. The old method of
planting celery in a trench is no longer
used to any extent. A good arrange
ment of the plants is to alternate early
and late varieties in successive rows.
The early varieties can be blanched
between boards and removed. after
which the soil is available for blanch-
ing the later varieties.
The two important methods of
blanching are. first. the use of boards
placed on both sides of the row and,
second. packing the soil about the
plants. In small gardens blanching
may be accomplished by wrapping pa
per about the punches. Blanching may
be begun on the earlier varieties In
September and on the later kinds just
before the usual time for frost.
