many a hurt better. but IL is a
I'll medicine which loses its chram
as one loses ones youth. II Is
lhen necessary to find a substitute for

AS one grows older one Is sensitive
about black and blue marks or scars,
bven though they be temporary. IL is,
therefore, expedient that every one
should know just what can be done to
lessen the seriousness of hurts of this
nature. A paste made of baking soda
and water will often prevent black
and blue spot from forming after a
hard bump. Holding the steel blade
Df a knife against spot which has
been hit Will often prevent tho skin
from discoloring. Bathing tho hurt
y part with bot water is also a splendid
way TO check discoloration or swell

Indigestion seems 10 be more com
mon than ever This is duo to many
lhings: haste in eating. overeating and
bating the wrong things. Relief can
bften be gained by modifying the diet
and slipping a tumblerful of very hot
