BEST PLACE TO KEEP FRUIT
Space Between Beams Provides Dry
Spot the Most Fitted for Its
Proper Preservation.

Where persons have a house with
eight or ten-inch beams on which the
floor is laid in the first story, the
spaces between the beams make an ex-
cellent place to keep canned fruit In
the cellar.
Boards can be nailed firmly to the
underside OF the beams, forming
shelves on which the fruit can be set.
Wide boards are best
The air is dryer in this point in
the cellar than at any other place. and
there is freer circulation, too, keep
ing the fruit in more even tempera-
ture and better atmosphere than is
possible in fruit cupboard or on
shelves built along the side walls.
In erecting such shelves care should
be taken to secure the boards well
with nails. A good plan is to saw the
boards to fit a certain place, allow
ing the ends to be just even with the
sides Of the beams Then a small
board can be nailed firmly on the end

SAND Cure Cor Fatigue.

One Of the mc5t eflcacious cures
for fatigue from overwork consists in
walking barefoot in sand. The nerves
Of the sole and heel are slightly irri-

Of the blood iD all parts Of the body.
