Game Of Months.

1t is only necessary hat the leader
should know this game. He starts by
asking in order from left to right first:
"What month are you going away"?'
The player might answer. June.
of the next n he asks. what
will you wear" or What will you
do" What will you take with YOU"
etc.-any question he thinks Of. but
the answer to all must begin with the
initial of the month chosen.
AS an answer for the first question
might be Jacket and jumper" for No.
.. Jump and jig for No. g, Jar OF
jelly" etc.
The nswers in all probability will
be confused. as the players at first
do not catch the trick. Each IL who
makes a wrong answer is told THAT
will not do" When one or two ''catch
on" they may make the game funnier
by giving ridiculous answers.

FOR IRONING DAY.
Hints That Help Make a Bugbear a
DAY Of Ease.

With the onslaught of warm weather
and the wearing of wash dresses rom
ing day becomes an important feature
of the week. Even the girl who presses
her W blouses and handkerchiefs has
to consider it seriously, so 1t may not
come amiss to give a few hints about
Keeping the iron in good condition.
Never put a hot iron on the back Of
the range unless you stand 1t on end
or lay it on it's side, for it will other
wise collect any tiny particle of grease
or stove black that it comes In contact
with. Rub your irons vigorously be-
fore you put them on to heat with a
piece of ordinary pumice stone slightly
%dampened. This not only removes all
particles Of dirt and rust, but polishes
them and makes them iron smoothly.
When you are ironing starched
clothes be sur to put a handful of
salt III to q piece Of newspaper and
rub your iron in this from time to time
to remove the starch that adheres to
the hot metal.
In pressing crepe de chine. georgette
crepe or any thin silk use an iron that
is fairly cool, as Il very hot iron wrin-
kles the material and takes the color
out. In pressing ribbons wipe them
with a coo iron. using a piece OF linen

before he undertook serious state bust
ness. and who finally became insane
after the death of his consort, Bar
bura. daughter of John Y. of Portugal.
Like many watches Of the time this
was made with three cases. so that the
owner might use the same timepiece
for many occasions by taking off case
after case. The outer case of this
watch was made of snakeskin orna-
mented with gold.
1t was believed that the owner wore
this outer case when he rode in the
chase or went to battle. so that the
works and inner cases might be pro-
tected from chance blows. In ordinary
life around the castle he would Wear

For the p aper' Readers
ROMAN NUMERALS.
Important Rules We All Should Re-
member.


You should all remember the rule for
writing the Roman numerals. l. Y, X
and l. are the letters used up to 100.
which is represented by c. D is 800,
and NJ is 1000. See how nicely the
system is formed. We have I, II and
III. and then instead OF I'LL for i,
which would be cumbersome, We have
~. which means one less than ). for
when a letter is placed before V. Y. l.
or G it means that the number repre-
sented by that letter should be sub
tracted. On the other hand. when 4
letter follows it must be added. Thus
we have V. ); vi, 6: VII. q: VIII. 8,
and instead of VIII for 8 we have IN
one less than 1O-which is much more
convenient than writing Y with four
is after it. BY way Of exercise sit
down and write all the numerals up to
100 and you will get the system so Well
fixed in your mind that YOU may be

Practical Hints About Avoiding Death
Dealing Drugs.

0J
Poison looks innocent. That is why
so MANY people are poisoned acciden-
tally. Some pOisons are sweet to the
taste. That is why children may easily
mistake them for sugar and water.
When you buy Il poison ask for a dis
tinctive label and have it state the
proper antidote. Be particular to keep
your poison in its distinctive package.
Never tolerate its careless exposure.
In case of poisoning by any Of the
poisons most commonly taken by acct
dent follow these rules:
Always remember that the first thing
in all cases is to empty the stomach.
Poisoning by mineral acids nay be
ncutralized by chalk. magnesia, even
the plaster from the wall in watery
solution.
For any burning or corrosive poison
much help may be given after the ON
ting by raw egg in milk.
White Of egg is particularly helpful
in corrosive sublimate poisoning.
Carbolic acid poisoning is difficult
to deal with because the anaesthetic
effect of the poison prevents the action
of h usual emetics. A large drink OF
whisky or alcohol will help to modify
the effects of the acid, and renewed eff
forts may then be made to induce vom-
iting. Raw eggs and milk are helpful,
but the proper antidote is sodium sui
phatc.
Concentrated I've has brought death
to many children. The antidotes are
water containing vinegar and lemon
juice to n%eutralize the alkali. then milk,
oil or butter.
Opium poisoning requires stimula-
ton after emetic treatment. Hot strong
coffee should be given and the patient
compelled to move about.
After you have produced vomiting by
! your emetic and have given whatever
%antidote Is in your power. do what you
can to make your patient comfortable.
See that the extremities are warm,
give plenty of air, keep the patient
awake If the poison was a narcotic.
otherwise as quiet as possible. Use all
the common you can while you
wait for the doctor.
But the best time for common sense
is before the necessity arises. Remem-
Der the distinctive label on the pack

Facilitating Payment Of Bills.

II we We're in a business where we
sent out bills to customers the first of
every month. we should make it a point
Velope for the return remittance. This
practice involves small expense to the
creditor. and it makes it a little harder
for the debtor to find an excuse for lay
ing aside~the~@Al for a few days. We
notice in Il own small affairs a ten
'dency to pay first Me bills whose pay
ment requires the least trouble. and we
suppose other people are correspond
ingly lazy. Paying bills is hard enough
work at best, and ought to be made as,
easy as possible.-Ohio State Journal.

a hot iron will urn very stiff. but If
q fairly cool one is used will remain
supple and smooth.
II you want a white shirt waist fairly
stiff, but mo- starched, iron it with a
hot iron while it is very wet. Pongee
also must be ironed while wet, as
otherwise it will not be spotless. If
You want the pongee very soft. how
ever, let it dry and then iron it without
sprinkling. using strength to press u
the wrinkles. Never dampen pongee
as the spots will show.
If YOU want to keep your plated
frills looking like new. haste the bot
tom or the edge into place before you
wash them, the plaits can thus be
readily ironed back into place. and
then the baSting may be removed.

Adulterated Sugar.
10 0 know it!

DO you know it!
Only experts can tell adulterated
sugar.
Many substances are used as adulter-
ants.
Water is one Of the things used in
adulterating sugar.
The most frequent addition is glu-
cose, or corn sugar, which is much
cheaper.
Glucose is less sweet than pure =
partly because Of its lesser Solubility in
water.
In these days Of pure food inspection
there is comparatively little danger Of
buying adulterated sugar.
