The Value of Paper

1t deserves TO be better known that
paper has wonderful powers of shutting
in heat, and, although a complete ward
robe OF paper is out of the question, IL
can be used In many ways TO eke out
more costly garments. Paper has the
advantage Of being cheap, and, as it is
so plentiful, It can be replaced as soon
as Il becomes soiled and worn.
A sheet of newspaper with a few ven
tilating holes pierced In II answers the
purpose OF a blanket. and when placed
between a blanket and the quilt, is light
and warm and not unsightly Excellent
quilts can be made by sewing together as
many newspapers as are required. and
piercing them with Yentilating holes be-
fore covering them with sateen, chintE or
art muslin.
Paper torn In tiny shreds makes a good
hlling for the mattress Of a ehud's cot,
and when It is soiled It can be easily
replaced. The same kind OF paper shreds
make a good hlling for pillows. There Is
a big demand for extra pillows.

II Is based on the principle that, as

The cause of a fainting fit may be

or anything else, but the result is in
reference with the circulation. The
blood leaves the brain, and unconscious

right course is to get the blood back
to the brain. The patient should be laid
nat without even a pillow under the
head. All clothing should be loosened,
especially about the neck and waist. II

to make his grave. and yet little

the heart of a pine forest. and yet the
pine coffin was imported from Gin

that dug his grave came from Pitts
