REMEDY FOR MINOR ILLS,

n CARBONATE of soda is one Of
p the most useful articles that
can be kept on hand. For SIM
pie burns and scalds a paste made Of
it and spread over the affected sur
face will prove most soothing. Indi-
gestion and sour taste may be re-
lieved by teaspoonful dissolved in
a cup Of hot water taken three times
a day. For itching of the skin one
teaspoonful dissolved in a pint of hot
water and used freely when cooled
will prove most cooling lotion. A
paste made Of it will be found useful
to relieve the stinging caused by the
bites Of insects; it takes the soreness
out Of mosquito bites. For sunburn
there Is nothing better than a paste
Of 1t spread over the painful local
tiles. 1t is good thing to have in
the medicine chest at any time.

A Flying machine with flapping
wings-An arrangement of planes
for flying machine is one of the
most novel that has been proposed
Attached to journal at each side
Of the main frame is gliding plane
which may be turned to take the all

motor, is carried on shaft that
runs diagonally across the gliding
plane and is provided with hinged
panels which are closed on the down

BILE may ensue. These cost from 5 to
10 cents. according to size.
Glass Utensils.
There are number of things made
OF glass that are good. The glass
towel racks are especially good, as
they do not rust, and with the alkali
water here, that is quite point in
their favor.
The glass rolling pin, with re-
movable handles which allow filling
the rolling pin with ice water for fine
pastry, is worth while. Even without
the ice water, the glass rolling pin is
useful as it is so easily cleaned, and
hence sanitary. These rolling pins
cost about quarter or more, accord
ing to size, and last practically for
ever.
We have a small glass lemon
squeezer which we like, as the juice

the reamer, and is extracted much

the glass does not give an unpleasant
taste nor an unhygienic product as
some of the metal squeezers do.
A brass wash board or a glass one
costs very little more than the old
fashioned kind and lasts a great
while.

growth of the democratic spirit there
has been free discussion of the sys-

tribute OF youths and girls from SUBJ
