Trudainq For the Wash.

The Portuguese country people as
usual thing have great physical en-
durance, doubtless as a result of the
Survival of the fittest' for many gen.
erations. The laundry workers are an
example of this. People come In from
long distances to get soiled clothes of
city customers. The clothes will be
placed in big panniers on the family
donkey. and the peasants will start
back late in the afternoon Some OF
them will travel all night. and 1t will
be sunup before they reach their
homes. many miles from Lisbon or
Oporto. A day or two later they are
trudging back to deliver the clothes.

other lot from the same patron. Many
a countryman and his wife take a

many who could rival the feats OF

WASHING FURNITURE.
Easy to Restore Tarnished Pieces to
Original Freshness.


very few people know that furni-
ture ought to be washed" said sales
man in the furniture section of large
department store. yet" he continued,
ut is the best thing one can do to keep
furniture looking as well as it should.
One should take bucket of tepid rain
water and make suds with good
pure soap. Then with soft piece of
cheeseclOth all the woodwork should
be washed. 1t is astonishing how much
dirt will come off. A second piece of
cheesecloth should be wrung dry out of
hot water. On this should be poured a
tablespoon of first class furniture pol
ish. The heat will spread the polish
through the cloth. Next the furniture
should be gone over with the second
cloth. There will be no need of put
ting on more polish, for that much will
do all one needs. Too many persons
make the mistake of using too much
polish and leaving it thick on the furni-
ture, where it looks dauby and where
1t gathers more dirt"
There is furniture In homes today
that is cast off because of its appear
ance when 1t might be brought back
to its original freshness by this simple
process of washing. Many persons do
not know that a fine bit of mahogany
is improved by careful washing, and
hundreds of pianos have never been
more than busted in years. square

HOT DRINKS.
IF Taken Above 1870 Degrees They in
jure the Stomach.

If Taken Above 1870 Degrees They in
jure the Stomach.
Many people without realizing it are
in the habit of drinking tea at much
too high temperature. Sir Henry
Thompson points out in his book on
"Diet In Relation to Age and Activi-
ty."
Few persons are aware that they
habitually swallow hot liquids, tea es-
pecially, at Il temperature which If
applied to the hands or feet would in
fiict painful scalds. Most tea drinkers
take it about 40 to 145 degrees F.,
which the mouth bears very well il
slowly slipped. while the cup itself is
too hot to be held by any hand.
But the habit of swallowing such
tea is injurious to the stomach. and it
ought not to be taken above 1870 de-
grees or so. Again. water at 100 de-
grees, which feels a little more than
lukewarm In the mouth, causes severe
pain if the hand is dipped in 1t and
cannot be endured"
He has, however. some good words
to say for the early morning tea.
"This morning tea in any case should
be taken at least an hour and a half
before the first meal of the day. For
many years | have been accustomed
to write for an hour every morning in
bed after tea, as | am doing at this
moment, and at no time do l find the
brain clearer for work. while the APP
petite for solid food is excellent when
the hour for breakfast arrives"
