In lettuce, Cress, and all other greens and vegetables is large amount of wa ter. This is cooling and refresh ing. The mineral salts which they contain are exceedingly necessary. for they supply the iron. calcium potash and other such substances that the body requires When a salad is served with oil or cream dressing it is nutritious.
 The simplest dressing Is made from oil, vinegar salt, and pepper There are French, Italian and Cali fornia olive oils on the market These are quite expensive. Peanut oil is cheaper just as nutrition and many people who do not en joy even the best olive oils. find this most palatable. Winter-rrcssed cottonseed oil is cheaper still, and just as valuable a food as either of the others. An excellent and economical salad oil is made by combining one quart best cotton seed oil with one to two cups of best olive oil.

THE WASHING OF
 4 WHITE SILK BLOUSE.

Many VOL. en delight in wearing white silk blouses al the year round They always look smart, and have the dual advantage of 'eing cool in summer and warm in NlHtor The difficulty lies in keep ing them clean, laundry aud clea,- CTS bills mount up alarmingly in d few weeks.
 It is possible. though, to wash d white silk blouse at home so thai il looks quite professional-if the right methods are observed. Tho great point to bear in mind is that nothing should be done. and tha' no preparation should be used. which is likeiy to turn the silk vel. low No ammonia, soda. or any soap or powder that contains soda
 When blouse has previously been to a cleaners. before begin ming to wash it steep it for twelve hours in bOraX water.
 To commence the actual washing make a lather with lukewarm water and pure soap jelly Squeeze the blouse out of the sleeping water into the sOapsuds, and continue squeezing and pressing it to get out the dirt on no account mus, the blouse be rubbed, brushed. or wrung; this is a matter which de bends entirely upon the amount of Gsrt in the blouse
 Then rinse the blouse through clear lukewarm water, and through two or three lots of cold water If the blouse is of paper white shade. add a little blue to the last rinsing water
 After the final rinsina. when al the soap is out of the blouse take another bowl of clear cold water and put in a teaspoonful of gum water for every pint of water. 1 squeeze Jut SIX through lHlS III order to attain the requisite stiff ness. If it is a very stiff silk in crease the supply of gum water; on no account starch white silk blouse. The effect on the appear. ance of it will be disastrous.
 Squeeze the blouse, fold neatly and pass through a wringer. O, ! press with the hands, between clean l white towels.
 While still damp, iron the blouse with warm iron The blouse must be ironed in portions into the correct shape, and supply of damp l rags should be at hand to put over 1 the unironed parts. It is essential 1 that the blouse shall be ircned be l fore it has dried damping it again afterwards is quite another matter and it is futile to think it can be l pulled into shape after 1t has been ironed out of shape.

Care of the Baby In Summer


This ailment, like all others. is more readily prevented than cured. Frequent cool baths, very little clothing, simple food and living in cool rooms, or in the open air will probably save the summer baby from much of the annoyance of prickly heat and other more ser.- ous ills.
 Chaflng-Fat babies are very apt to suffer from chafing, especially in hot weather. It appears as a redness of he skin wherever two skin surfaces consistently rub to- gether.
 Much the same treatment is re quired as in prickly heat. Never use soap on an inflamed skin. Ir- stead use a soda, bran or starch bath Directions for these baths are given in a publication called Infant Care, which may be had, free of charge, by addressing re quest to the chief of the Children's Bureau. |. 5. Department of Labor Washington, D. c.
 Great care should be taken not to let the baby scratch the skin, when it is irritated Sift together two parts powdered cornstarch. aud one part boric acid, and use it freely on the chafed paces. Wash and dry the flesh thoroughly. then dust the powder freely.

The following article was prepared by the Chudren'S Bureau, United States Department of Labor:
 A baby may be made uncomfort- able and restless by various causes which are readily removed Atten, ton has already been called to the fact that babies and young children frequently suffer from thirst. They should be offered a drmk of water several times a day, and particular. ly in hot weather. When a taby cries in the night, drink will oftcr quiet him, and send him to sleep
 Irritating clothing is at times re- sponsible for the baby's fretfulness Woolen socks. or shirts, or stiff spoil his comfort, even if he is well and, in hot weather especially, a superabundance of clothing is ire Quently responsible for much real suffering.
 Dress the baby in the lightest cotton garments and keep him as cool as possible. Do not be afraid to let him have nothing on but his diaper and one other thin garment on the very hot days.
 One of the troubles from which 6 baby often suffers in summer is prickly heat. This ailment appears as a fine red rash usually on the neck and shoulders and gradually spreads to the head, face and arms It Is caused by overheating, due either to the hot weather or to the fact that the baby is too warmly dressed. The rash comes and goes with the heat, and causes intense itching. The remedy for it Is tC take off all the clothing and give the baby Fponge bath in tepid water in which common baking soda has been dissolved. Use one table spoonful of soda to two quarts oi water Use no soap, and do no, rub the skin, but pat it dry with a soft towel After the skin Is thoroughly dry dust the inflamet surfaces with a plain talcum pow der
