A few grains of rice in the salt eel

Try pouring scalding water on ap-

WELL TO REMEMBER
SIMPLE METHOD OF CURING THE
TROUBLESOME FELONs.
Easy Way to Keep silver Bright
Use No Soap on Hardwood Floors
Several Handy Hints for
the Housewife.

To cure a felon, take common salt
as used for sailing pork or beef, dry
in the oven, pound fine, mix witt
equal parts of spirits of turpentine
put in a cloth and wrap around the
affected part. AS it gets dry put on
more. Twenty-four hours OF THU
treatment win kill the felon.
Soaking mildew stains in buttermilh
or sour milk will many times remove
them, but not always. Try solution
of one heaping teaspoonful OF chic
ride of lime to a quart of soft water;
strain, when we'll dissolved, and OH
the widowed spots in it until tne
stains disappear, then rinse immedl
ately and thoroughly in clear water.
Silver will keep bright, and much
laborious cleaning and polishing
saved, if once a week, it is Immersed
in sour milk and left there for 2O
minutes or longer. Wash it in very
hot water and polish as quickly as pos
sible. Soft pieces of old f1annelette
are excellent to use in wiping and pol
ishing silver.
Do not use soap on your hardwood
floor; instead add half cup of borax
to pail of hot water, and rinse your
mop we'll each time, and see how nice
and white the floor will look.
When any article of food burns
and sticks to the saucepan or kettle
while boiling, set the vessel at once
into pan of cold water, while you
get another kettle ready, thus pre-
venting a scorched table. You viii
surely do this if the food is not toe
badly burned.
Try having a bed of Sweet Williams
Once started it will require little care
and will last for years, rewarding your
trouble by a profusion of pretty flow
ers.
And, by the way, there is nothing
better than ammonia to remove blood
stains; soak the articles in water to
which has been added generous por-
ton of the ammonia.-Mrs. ]. G. b..

MELISSA RECOGNIZES INsUPERA

Mrs. Merriwid's maternal maiden

Aunt Jane snatched the little lace
handkerchief from her belt, pressed II

her shoulders shaking with emotion
but before her hand could touch the
knob her niece had her in an embrace
from which there was no escape.

does not need such an arrange
ment to so great an extent; but clothes
that are frequently worn and USED
should be cared for in well-ventilated
room, and sunlight also is a wise pro-
vision. Mirrors are frequently placed
in closet doors, occasionally on the in
side, where the effect of the wood
work finish is not interrupted by
the mirror-paneled door; but, more
often, they are placed on the bed
room side.
Shallow closets, or wardrobes, while
not go hygienic, are sometimes ne
cessity, and they may be made most
convenient. When built along one
side OF room with mirror doors, they
make an attractive feature. Shallow
drawers are frequently built below the
main clothes space, and cupboard
above for hats. There are firms
which manufacture fixtures for clos
cts Of this type. The fixture consists
of pole, which pulls out and exposes
the clothes placed on hangers. This
shallow closet takes up more wall
space in a bedroom; but, where com
preston of floor space is necessity,
it may be easily arranged and made
very convenient

GERMS CARRIED BY TONGUE
One Of the Most Frequent Causes OF
Bad Teeth Is Not Generally
Understood.

How many, or rather how few wom'
en- know that the tongue carries dis
ease germs to the teeth. Foreign par
ticles frequently adhere to the rough
or upper side of the tongue, and be-
side It Is often coated with what Is
called dental fur" This fur Is yell
lowish white substance and Is found
on the teeth and tongue of every one
who does not clean his or her teeth
and mouth at least twice day. This
deposit usually forms 30 quickly that
even the most fasttdious have some
times to be careful lest it settle on the
teeth.
If the teeth cannot be brushed fire.
Quently during the day. then it is adj
visable to brush them the first thing
in the morning and the last thing be-
fore retiring at night. These two
acts alone, II the teeth and mouth and
tongue are properly cleansed, will do
much toward preserving the teeth.
SO many women brush the teeth In
q hap-haxard fashion. They brush
vigorously enough, but they are not
particular enough to see that the
brushing Is carried on properly. The
brush is wet and then sprinkled with
powder, the teeth get a quick brush
ing on the outer surface, very little
attention given to the inside, and
usually the brushing consists Of the
crosswise stroke. OF course this is a
little better than nothing, az 1t re-
moves surface accumulations, and not
always that

kets are quiet but generally firm. Trad
ing is confined very largely to deliveries
IN the next few months and fancy cotton
goods trading is confined to high novel

considerable new forward business as the

continue at a very low point.

doing much to hold prices steady. Prints
are quiet in narrow widths PercaIs are

the pressure for spot merchandise. Cling
mans are quiet. Duck rules steady aud

the next two months. Tickings are sold
closely till September -. Jobbers are do
