Fruits and vegetables are. however,

The Useful Lime Water
Bottle
Bv EMMA GARY WALLACE.
ME water does not look unlike I

n ME water does not look unlike the or
binary fluid which comes from the
IL faucet 1t is mildly bitter in its taste
and its properties are antacid and astrlngent.
Il is because of this antacid or alkaline prop
ertv that it is given in milk or plain water
when there is a tendency to sour stomach, nau
sea or vomiting. The sour or acid condition
is corrected and a slightly tonic and soothing
effect exerted.
Unless one has an opportunity to get pure,
clean lime, it is better to buy lime water than
to try to make it, as it is very inexpensive.
If. however, you wish to prepare it at home.
take two teasponsful of slaked lime and add
to one pint of boiled or distilled water. Lime
used for this purpose should be that prepared
from marble or chalk rather than the common
building lime.
Shake frequently during the first hour, then
allow the mixture to settle and pour off the
clear liquid. Throw this away. Add to the
residue one quart Of boiled or distilled water
and agitate thoroughly from time to time.
Let stand twenty-four hours and agitate sew
eral times again. the object being to saturate
the water thoroughly with calcium hydrate.
Let the solid matter settle to the bottom and
carefully pour or siphon off the clear part.
Cork and keep for use as wanted
A white film will appear on the sides OF
the bottle. but this does no harm, as 1t IS
only limey deposit. 1t cannot be washed
away with soap and water and can only be
dissolved by the use of an acid. Lime water
should always be kept covered, and if you wish
to have a particularly clear product you can
get a filter paper from your druggist, fold 1t
and filter or strain the lime water through
this.
IL preparing food for an infant or invalid,
the usual amount of lime water added to aka
line is one ounce of lime water to twenty
ounces of food or liquid
AS lime water is astringent, its effects are
of a constipating nature, especially if too
much is used. For this reason many prefer a
pinch of plain bcarbonate of soda (Which is
baking soda) in its place.
In the case of burn nothing is more sooth
ing than caron oil, which is made by shaking
equal parts of olive or linseed oil with lime
water to creamy emulsion. Absorbent cot
ton is soaked with this and bound to the
injured surface.
Lime water is a very useful preparation to
have on hand especially in the summer time,
when children are so prone to stomach as
turbance or dysentery due to food IN when
the process of souring has commenced. The
lime water retards the formation of curdS IN
the stomach and gives the digestive processes
an opportunity TO work.

BROWN BREAD AND NUT SALAD
This Is rather a novelty; also it
possesses the advantage Of using up
small pieces of stale brown bread. Gut
the bread into cubes and fry as Tor
croutons until crisp and brown in
little hot fat (bacOn dripping Is ex-
cellent); then drain on brown paper;
cool: mix with an equal quantity of
chopped celery. Add a few chopped
walnut meats and moisten with boiled
or mayonnaise dressing. Serve in in
diyidual portions in nests of crisp let
tuce leaves and serve Immediately. If
this salad is quickly made and served,
the bread retains its crispness, which
is essential to the success of the salad.

Keeping Rooms Constantly Clean
AboLishes Periodical House
Cleaning

bugs appear should itself be cleaned carefully;
then special attention given to the mouldings
and grooves or cracks in the woodwork; to
the Jennings of the bedstead, if wooden; to the
edges and corners of the mattress and spring,
if it is box spring
The parts requiring special attention may
be treated with solution of bichloride of mer-
curry This can be bought in crystal form, and
a solution made up by dissolvng the crystals
in alcohol. The application of this solution
NAV be repeated after three or four days, in
order to kill bugs that have appeared since
the previous cleaning.
Another good method of determination is by
sulphur fumes. The room should, of course,
be cleaned, the bedcothes, etc, spread out and
all air outlets, whether cracks or keyholes,
sealed up.
The sulphur candle to be lighted should be
placed on saucer, which is set in pan or
water This should be placed in an open part
Of the room, where there will be no danger of
draperies catching fire. The room should be
kept closed up for twelve to twenty-four hours.
If opened too soon the fumes will irritate the
throat and eyes. The room must be we'll aired
before it can be occupied again.
If the pests are not wholly exterminated this
proceeding may have to be repeated a second
time, but it is sure to succeed. When using
sulphur, any metal in the room should be pro-
tected by coating of unsalted grease, as sui
phur fumes will injure it.
Like all other insect pests, moths do not like
to be disturbed by frequent cleanings. There
FORE in order to avoid offering them lodging,
closets, drawers, upholstered furniture, hang
ings carpets, ETC., must be kept dust-free.
Old velvet and trimmings and crumpled It's
sue paper they like especially, because usually
dusty The edges and corners of rugs must be
looked after particularly. When perfectly
clean any spot that may have lodged moths
may be rubbed with a little gasolene or
naphtha. A very little should be used at a
time, and the dose repeated.
This treatment is only possible when done
in the daylight, with open windows. The differ
ent kinds of oamphor preparations on the mar
ket are good to place about after cleaning in
order TO keep the pests away.

Speaking of Conservation
THIS story is told by domestic science
expert who is doing some canning and
driving on Long Island:


Her work took her to a country home, where
the mistress professed great interest in the
canning and drying of fruits and vegetables,
as advised by the food administration. She
was especially ardent in her expressions of pa
triotism, and talked most enthusiastically OF
the need for conserving the food supply as
part of the duty that every one owes to the
country in the present crisis.
At the close Of brisk mornings work with
a steam Gamer, two or three collies, looking
hungry and expectant, came running into the
kitchen.
The cook stopped her preparations for lunch
con, went over to the icebox and took out two
baked chickens, crisp and nicely Drowned.
These she fed to the dogs, as matter Of
coGrse.
DO you give food like that to the dogs?"
asked the domestic scientist in amazement.
Certainly" said the cook, haughtily; they
are very expensive dogs, and they have refined
tastes. We always feed them roasted chick
ems these were bought and cooked especially
for them. for they never eat common food"

and polishes. Of course, if the wood is white
enamelled it may be treated as any enameled
or painted surface would be.
After this thorough cleaning and airing of
the bed and bedding the bed should be made
I'D and covered with dust sheet before pro-
ceeding to the further cleaning Of the room.
All small articles should be busted and re-
moved. Other pieces of furniture should be
cleaned and either removed or covered. The
method of cleaning the room itself is the same
as that for other rooms of the house.
RUGS, DRAPERIES AND CLOSETS
The draperies in the bedroom should be light
and washable so that it will be little effort to
have them very frequently laundered.
Small rugs should be used on the hardwood
floor. The pretty rag rugs that are so popular
for summer houses are particularly suitable
for bedrooms. They may be washed as often
as desired, and so may be kept absolutely dust
free.
closet that has box or shelf for holding
shoes and rubbers, a shelf conveniently placed
for holding hat boxes and rod running
lengthwise, on which coats, suits and gowns
may be hung, will usually be an orderly closet,
and one that is, therefore, easily kept busted
and cleaned.
The stuffy, close smell that so many closets
have might be overcome if the closet door were
opened when the room was being aired This
daily airing of the closet is very important es
pecially as so many have no windows
Cleaning and brushing clothing before hang
ing in the closet will help to keep it clean and
fresh.
The closet as well as the room, needs thor
ough cleaning periodically. On such occasions
everything should be removed, the ceiling
brushed, walls and shelves wiped and the floor
if of unfinished wood-scrubbed.
The closet must not be closed while damp.
If the least amount Of water that will do the
cleaning be used, all surfaces wiped as dry as
possible and the closet be thoroughly aired be-
fore returning the contents the best results
will be obtained. Before replacing in the

these undesirable visitors. Wall paper should
be intact
Cockroaches and Croton bugs will travel
along water pipes from one apartment to an
other. They will congregate in places where
greasy, damp cloths are hung, or about the
sink and tubs if surrounded n dirty or water
soaked wood. They will not remain, however,
if everything is perfectly clean and dry, if no
clean and covered closely.
When the reaches appear in numbers, if
powdered borax be mixed with little pow
dered sugar and sprinkled about many will be
disposed of in short time. Dead reaches
should not be permitted to lie around. Brush up
the reaches and borax and sprinkle fresh borax
about This should be done frequently-prob
ably several times a day at first, and later
every day-until the reaches disappear.
Sodium fuoride in powdered form will also
be very effective if mixed with little pow
dered sugar and sprinkled about. 1t is, how
ever, a poison, so should be used carefully.
DEALING WITH ANTS AND FLIES
Ants sometimes are very annoying. They
are so small and usually appear in such num-
DerS lndt lney seem 10 ne everywhere DIT oiCe'
The simplest means of driving them out is by
the use of oil of pennyroyal The pennyroyal
may be poured on cotton batting, which may
be strewn about in small pieces. The odor is
strong and lasting, as well as pleasant. If
fresh pennyroyal can be procured the leaves
may be spread about the infected places, and
will bring about the same result as the oil.
The commonest, and probably the most dan
gerous, house pest-the fy--has been very
thoroughly investigated.
Here, again, it is well to keep in mind that
a house that is clean within and clean as to
its surroundings dry, and, in the case of the
kitchen, with no food standing about, will have
no flies, or at most, very few. Good screens on
all doors and windows will prevent their en-
trance. The flies may be poisoned by sweet
ened solution of bichrcmate of potash, but the
prepared fly papers that are sold will accom-
