FRESH AIR is THE
GREATEST CURATIVE
Keep Your Bedroom Windows
Open at Night. in Winter as
Well as Summer.

Madame LaPiace in Womap's World.
The absurd dread of night air
which simply means fresh air at night
lis n of the most harmful supersti-
lions ever cherished by the human race
Fresh air is clean air. You would not
dream of eating from dirty dishes
Well, when you sleep in a closed room,
you are simply filling your lungs-for
seven Or eight hours at a stretch
with dirty air. Is 1t any wonder that
you rise the mex morning sluggish and
unrested, perhaps with a dull headache
and an unpleasant taste In your
mouth? Your system has been pois-
oned, that's all.
Perhaps you think you have venti-
lated your bedroom sufficiently by
leaving the window open for a half
hour or so before you retire. That's a
mistake. One person can exhaust all
the oxygen in an unventilated room In
an hour Furthermore, to be fresh, air
should be in motion. Stagnant air Is
foul air, just as stagnant water is foul
water.
Winter or summer, one window Of
your sleeping room should be wide
open. II the room is cold, put on extra
bedding, wear warm night clothes, take
a hot water bag to bed with YOU. If
necessary.
Don't worry about taking cold.
Doctors realize and preach nowadays
that colds, sore throats, bronchitis and
tuberculosis are caused moi by cold air
but by bad air. Outdoor sleeping is the
most modern and most successful
treatment for consumption.
How to Grow Plump.
Sleep at least eight hour a night, al
ways with your window open. Drink
lots of milk and take three or four raw
eggs a day. Chew our food thorough
ly. Drink plenty Of fresh water. Elk
ercise moderately in the open air, being
careful not to overdo to the point of
exhaustion. Don't worry even about
hplnp thin.

An old rule for roasting turkey is
IAN our for each year."
Before %chopping raisins. rub a little
butter on each side Of the chopping
knife.
When tea is spilled on the tablecloth,
as soon as possible over the stain with
common salt. Leave 1t on for a while,
and When the cloth is washed all the
stain will have disappeared.
Stuff the breast of your Christmas
turkey with pared sweet potatoes. They
will get a fine flavor from the Juices,

Roast some nice wheat in the o:en.
add a little good butter and New Or
leans molasses. grind 1t in the coffee
mill, and have some OF the finest cereal
coffee you ever drank. Saves money,
too.
Corncobs make excellent fuel, but
they also make a dirt If kept In a bas-
ket, as the loose particles sift through.
1t is better to put them in a box. The
cobs from table corn can be dried for

A nice home made candy for the

cupfuls of sugar and one cupful Of
corn syrup until crisp when dropped in
cold water. Add to this the white of

five minutes until nearly stiff. Drop

Rev William E. Allen, the newly
appointed pastor for the Methodist
church Of Barton. is one of the sue.
cessful ministers of the Vermont con-

church two long pastorates. He has
been member of Vermont confer
ence twenty-three years, and has
served only four churches, record
very unusual for Methodist preach
