Cold hands may be relieved by plunging
them into hot water and then into cold

A most efficient antiseptic wet dress
ing, poultice and cold pack may be made
in the following manner: Soak a sufficient
amount Of gauze in one part. of alcohol to
three parts OF water. Apply to the part
to be treated thoroughly wet, just short
of dripping: cover with rubber tissue and
bind firmly with a bandage. Such an
application many times takes the place
of an icebag in reducing swellings or
acute Inflammation. On the other hand,
it will hasten suppuration of boil or
abscess that cannot be aborted, as well
as the old flaxseed poultice
This alcohol dressing should be re-
newed every twelve hours. If the BAN
dage is put on tightly, so that no air
gets under the rubber tissue, the dressing
becomes a warm one acting like a poul-
tice. If the bandage is put on more
loosely, so that air gets under the rubber
tissue. allowing the alcoholic solution to
evaporate slowly, the dressing is a cold
one, acting like an icebag.

Though Best Meth
DDS of Cooking
Are in Dispute,
They Can Be
Easily Made Into
Appetizing Dishes
if Cooked Properly
When They First
Come From the
Butchers.

THOUGH authorities on cooking
"a all agree that sweetbreads must
~ be parboiled and blanched as
soon as they are received from
the butcher, they do not all
agree on just the method in which this
parboiliug and blanching are to be &C.
complished.
One authority says to parboil the sweet
breads for fifteen minutes in sailed water
Just below the boiling point, and then to
drop them into ice-cold water made acid
with vinegar or lemon juice for an hour
to blanch.
There are sweetbreads from both lamb
and veal and those from veal are consid-
cred the best. They come both in the
throat and lower down in the body. near
the heart. The lower ones are solder and
of a better shape than the throat ones.
There was day. not so very many
years ago. when butchers threw the
sweetbreads away with other trimmings
from the calves and lambs. Then the
few persons who appreciated these delica-
cies could hardly force any payment on
the butchers for them. Today they are
expensive But there is little waste to
them-notfing but few membranes-and
although they are not nOur1SnlnS, tney
are valuable because they are appetizing
and tempting.
Broiled sweetbreads are easy to pre-
pare. but they must be served piping
hot to be at their best. Cut a pair of
blanched and parboiled sweetbreads
into halves. Brush them over with
tablespoonful of olive oil. and dust
them with salt and pepper. Arrange
them on a wire and broil them over a
clear. brisk fire for five minutes on
each side.
In the meantime have ready few
Ia blespoonfuls of clear, hot stock of
gravy, season it with salt and pepper.
add few drops of lemon juice and
little chopped parsley, and the minute
the sweetbreads are broiled lay them
on hot dish and pour the hot sauce
over them.
Dreamed sweetbreads are good
luncheon dish and are not difficult of
preparation. For the cream sauce
melt tablespoonful Of butter in a
saucepan, and when it is bubbling add
:. tablespoonful of -four. Add grad
aally half a cupful of hot cream. STIR

THE sight of rolly-poly little wom-
an with a huge long-haired muff
4 and a fluffy. long-haired fur collar
side by side with tall, lean woman with
a dog collar of some short-haired fur and
a severely plain muff of the same pelt
is not very unusual, and it is such a
Jroll sight that any one who has thought
much about faces and the furs that go
with them must needs laugh in her
sleeve.
For furs should apply the quality that
faces-and figures-lack. A thin woman
should wear furs that make her look
plump and a fat woman should wear
furs that, if they do not make her look

height she has and will add no bulk to
her figure. The coat collar should be
fiat and of the same fur.
Her separate fur collar can take the
form of one of the fashionable long
scarfs, which she should wear fatty over
her shoulders. not punched and folded
about her throat. Another becoming
shape for her collar is that which sug-
rests a cape, but which ends almost be-

10 fit about the shoulders and neck.
The stout. short womans muf should
be plain, OF short-haired fur, trimmed
with nothing excepting fiat braid orna-

woman but it should not be worn by any
woman, stout or thin. unless he~ COM

The thin woman's muf should be big
