stewed Rhubarb With Lemon.

Choose tender stalks Of rhubarb,
trim and remove any tough portions Of
skin. Do not scrape away the delicate
red, as it adds to the appearance of
the finished dish. Cut the stalks into
pieces an inch long, cover with a cou-
pie Of slices Of lemon. Add sugar to
taste, heat to the boiling point and
chill before serving. Some prefer to
add a few seeded raisins with the
slices Of lemon, and for those who like
this fruit the combination can be
recommended. Rhubarb is really a
spring medicine and is invaluable at
this seasonsof the year.

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED

II deem 1t my duty to tell about

BILE began In splotches breaking out
right in the edge of my hair on the
forehead, and spread over the front
part of the top Of my head from ear to
ear, and over my ears which caused a
most fearful burning itch, or eczema.
For three years had this terrible
breaking out on my forehead and
scalp. l tried our family doctor and
he failed to cure 1t. Then l tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used
them for two months with the result
OF a complete cure. Cuticura Soap

In spots all over my head. My scalp

COMFORT IN HOT DAYS
WELL TO LIVE OUT OF DOORS
WHEN 1T is POSSIBLE.
Screened Porches VIII Help Much to
Get Away From the III Effects of
the Heat-open Air Sleeping
Places the Best.

Most Of the advantages of camping
out may be enjoyed at home by those
who live in houses with grounds about
them. When the family owns a tent
1t may be pitched in the yard early in
the summer and the children may be
allowed to sleep there whenever they
wish, weather permitting. The bed
ding should be brought in whenever it
rains, and kept we'll aired. An old
bed spring and mattress or old cots
provide satisfactory sleeping accom-
modations. Dark outing flannel pa.
jamas are the best sleeping garments
for camping out, and they should be
provided for all the children regard
less of sex.
The next step is the screening of
the back or side porch. An ordinary
kitchen table should be moved out
there and there the family may eat
their meals in comfort in hot weather.
They may even spend the evening
there in comfort. In the morning the
mother may do most of her house
work there. 1t is possible to wash
there and even iron with the aid of an
alcohol stove, which costs a quarter
and which Is now part of every camp
Ing outfit. The stove must be careful
ly used, but it accommodates a single
iron with safety and convenience.
The same little stove will make it
possible to let the range fire go out
early in the afternoon and stay out. 1t
is quite possible to cook the single hot
dish which is enough for the summer
supper on the stove. Toast may be
made before the fire goes out and then
warmed on the place which covers the
dish in which milk, tomatoes or cream
ed meat is being warmed to spread
over 1t. Breakfast may be simplified
to coffee or milk for the children,
cereal toast or rolls.
The up-to-date camping party takes
along fireless cooker to supplement
the camp fire and alcohol stove, and
this the housekeeper should never be
without 1t will make 1t possible to do
the afternoon cooking without the
range, even when full meal is to be
served, for the water for tea or cof-
fee may be prepared on the alcohol
stove.
The mother should spend every mo-
ment she can out of doors. It is easy
to keep a rocking chair on the screen
ed porch and shell the peas and peel
the potatoes there, and the baby will
be safe there all of the time provided
the door is fastened. AS matter Of
fact, he should take his nap out there
all the year round except in rainy or
very cold weather.
The sewing machine may be wheel
ed out for afternoon use, and hand
sewing should also be done in the
open air. There is no particular vir-
tue in the camping tent. The outdoor
air is quite as accessible at home as in
the woods.
The screened-in porch may be a
blessing, not only by day, but also by
night. It's roof, if slanting, may easily
be built up level and provided with a
board or canvas roof. 1t should then
be screened in like the lower story.
The advantage of such an outdoor
sleeping place for delicate child or
older person might be very great.

KEEPING BABIES IN HEALTH
Success Of Tent Scheme Last Sum-
mer So Pronounced That It
Will Be Repeated.

Mothers of little babies that suffered
much from the intense heat in the
early part of July last summer will be
interested in the success Of the baby
tent" scheme adopted in some of the
big cities.
The tents are placed on fiat roofs Of
tall buildings and IN open lots, with
eight little cradles or cots in each
tent. When all was ready mothers
Of babies under two years were invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, 80 that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege Of sleeping out Of doors, could
also receive the attention of traine :
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. BY evapora-
ton it greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents were also kept cool by the use
of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies comfort
ably COOL
This is the way some of the poor
babies are being cared for, but the
ideas could be utilized by anyone who
had the welfare of the baby at heart.

To Clean WrIneer Rollers.

To clean the rubber rollers Of your
wringer, which have become soiled or
stained so that they cannot be used,
rub them well, or scrub them with a
little stiff hand-brush, using coaloil in
plenty. This will loosen. all the dark
marks and will take out the most Of
the coloring matter which the rubber
absorbed from the dyed material
Later a good wash in hot soapsuds
would restore the wringer, for further
use for the finest white clothing in the
wash.

Four Dollars for a Cake Of Soap.

Soap has never been considered an
extravaganza, but now that notion

to three and four dollars cake. They

one may take pardonable pleasure In
using such toilet article. Each cake
