\ INDULGE myself with a few bits OF
talk from our able chemist, " A &. w.
to whom our obligations are already
i great. may mention here to house
wives who would know something Of
the chemical changes and combinations
that enter into cookery, that our friendly
chemist will answer queries addressed to
him through the Helping Hand. His ability
is patent His willingness to help us
equals II.
THE obvious explanation OF the
Australian 'churnless butter process
lately described IN the Helping Hand, is
this:
When the cream is placed In cloth
bag and buried in the ground. the soil,
which must be dry and porous-extracts the
watery portion by absorption, leaving the
fat behind. However, all the casein
Lcheesy matterl likewise remains IN the
bag, thus increasing the yield Of what is
not pure butter. and modifying the taste
It will spoil rapidly.
Had I time, would tell you OF the
once famous black pepsin butter, which
yielded q similar product.

Of making paper pulp for filing door cracks.
This material may be purchased more con-
venientIy from paint shops and wholesale

Still. soaking the paper in a little lye
and working It In a churn is an improve
ment upon the method given by your cor
respondent. Cheap wall paper makes agood
pulp.

Ow much does the average mother OF
today know OF nursing sick child?
How many of you think OF doing It
except for passing indisposition?
Some ailments OF children have
their rise and decline with almost equal ra-
pidity. A child who is gasping for breath
with Group at II O'Clock at night win be up
and about the room the next morning, a
trife languid perhaps. but wonderfully wen,
considering the agony through which he has
gone during the preceding twelve hours.
The mother needs slight skill in nursing
10 care for child in such an emergency as
this. All measures must be prompt, and
when she has once learned the routine Of
medicine, hot applications, and the like
there is little more to acquire. So, too, with
the ordinary cold or indigestion or similar
childish disease, distressing while they last
but quickly over.
When your child has long. wearing Ill
ness, however, do you know how to take
care Of him? Perhaps you do not wish to
turn him over to the charge OF a trained
nurse, perhaps you have not the money to
spend upon one unless IL is a matter where
close watching and a certain amount Of
medical knowledge are required in order u
meet and conquer difficulties for which the
laywoman is not prepared.
In earlier days we took all the care OF our
children when they were sick and trained
nurse was unheard OF. I do not say that
this state of affairs was always an advan-
tage and that there were not occasions when
q more educated intelligence might not have
done better for the patient in watching for
and averting the unfortunate consequences
Of certain illnesses which affected the heart,
the lungs, the sight, the hearing. None the
less I maintain that in ordinary cases Of
sickness sensible mother under the direc-
ton Of wise doctor can take as good care
Of a child as the best trained nurse Of them
