CLEAN SMALL RUGS AT HOME
Work Not Hard and ls Saving OF
Expense Wash Them
on tho Floor.

1t is better to clean small rugs at
home than to send them to profession
al cleaners. Small rugs should be
taken to the grass plot and there
beaten well with light whip or rug
beater. Do not turn over and beat
on the wrong side, as that breaks the
rug. The beating on the surface
brings the dirt to the top, and this
should then be swept off, sweeping
with the nap, not against 1t, as this
wears out the rug. Also when lay
Ing large rugs lay them SO that when
they are swept 1t will always be with
the nap. A badly soiled rug may be
washed. Do not attempt to wash
large rugs while on the floor. This
method has been widely advertised
and appeals to the housekeeper be-
cause she need not take up her rugs,
but the water soaks through and, hav-
ing no way of escaping, dries up,
leaving layer of mud between the
warp, which gradually rots the
threads, while the carpet looks bright
on top. After a rug has been well
beaten the soiled parts may be washed
out with a solution of soap bark or
borax and water, using an ounce of
bark to a gallon of water. The rugs
are laid fiat for this purpose, and If
done carefully and the rugs then
wiped Off with cloth wrung out of
hot water, until dry, they will be clean
and bright and in no wise injured by
the washing.

MEDIcH1 SCIENCE SHYS:
By John Nelson Goltra, A. NJ, MD.
DO YOUR DRINKING AT MEAL.
TIME,

The time to drink water is at meal
time, rather than between meals.
Drinking between periods of digestion
interferes with the stomach's natural
rest. This very important principle is
also overlooked and violated when We
eat candies and fruits between meals.
Water is not believed to call into
operation the activities of the diges-
tive glands in the same way that all
other liquids as well as solids do, but
the disposal of water does undoubted-
ly excite the muscular movements Of
the stomach.
We need much water. Large
amounts are being constantly given
OF by evaporation from the skin, ex-
halation by the lungs, and excretion
through the various organs. But we
also take in great quantities of water
in ways we never think Of. Bread,
for instance, contains moisture in the
proportion of about 80 per cent. for
the Vienna or French type and 35 per
cent. in homemade bread. In cooked
meats the percentage of water ranges
from 40 to 80, while In many vegeta-
bles and most fruits the water con-
tent is from 80 to 95 per cent.
Still, we need more, and the desire
to drink while eating ia physiologi-
cal as we'll as natural one. About
the only restriction Is that we must
not make a sluice-box Of our mouths,
and use water as a conveyor to carry
on food which we have not taken time
to masticate. There is practically no
danger of our drinking enough at
meal-time to dilute the gastric juice"
as has sometimes been declared.
