Instructive letter from a reader
Some time ago l read an article
in your column about hypertropnic
rhinitis. 1t was just what Dhad
been waiting for. Six months ago
my nose was a useless appendage'
mere ornament. quite worthless for
breathing purposes. plugged up
air-tight all the time. Went 10 nose
and throat specialist. He cut out
about half pound OF turbiIate
bone and tissue from each side.
That helped lot, but did not cure
me. Now / am stufty first in one
side, then in the other, and nave
excessive secretion. When | stay
out in the cold. my head is fairly
clear excepting for few minutes
after | first go out from the warm
house,. 1t is also clear when l
wash with very hot water. for just
a little while. But even when both
sides seem free at once, they are
not as free as | should like, for
can't breathe freely through the
nose alone when | am indoors&Two
local doctors said they could 90
nothing. They said | probably
needed more bone removed. Is it
back to the surgeon for me"'
Perhaps the surgeon has
larger bore he can use in his bit, yet
there is no hurry Why not give
Ole Doctor Nature chance? Or
let Miss Hygiene, the old Doctor s
trained nurse, try her hand? Pa
tience, my boy. patience. Keep your
bones together if you can; on the
last day there won't be time to
chase around collecting them in
the mad rush.
A nose and throat specialist is a
great blessing to the community
The respiratory mucosa gets some
pretty hard knocks and rough
treatment by the desert atmosphere
indoors in which we live most of
the time And since many special
lists are born. not made, they lose
sight of the patient. ignore DR.. Ma
ture. and forget that Miss Hygiene
exists. They just snip out piece
Of thick, spongy, enlarged, diseased
turbinate body, and send the pa
tient on his way rejoicing, for a
little while. Six months or a year
later the patient begins to realize
that the hole wasn't drilled quite
wide enough. The patient, too, has
carefully evaded Nature and Hy-
giene. because the nose and throat
man was too busy to introduce
these irregulars, and the family
doctor considers it none of his
business.

Things Worth knowing.

If There is a Tree, shrub, vine, or
berry bush. about your place, do
not allow any sO2 psuds 10 so down
the sewer, as al these things are
Starving for the want of potash and
alkali Underbearing pear trees
can be made to bear good fruit by
this treatment. and the dark grass
around such trees will be dark
green in color and will make a
heavier growth This shows plainly
the benefit.
To Clean Enamel Woodwork
Soft warm water. one-half cup kerr
osene oil. good white soap.
Wash and polish with soft cloth.
Will look very nice if carefully
done.
Potato Pulp as a Cleaner Crate
raw potatoes to a fine pulp in clean
water and pass the liquid through
Il coarse sieve into another vessel
o water. Let the mixture stand I'M
til the fine white particles of the
potato are precipitdted. then pour
the water off and preserve it for
use. This liquid will clean all sorts
of silk. cotton or wooden goods
without injuring them or spelling
the color
Two good-sized potatoes are
stuff Gent for a pint OF water. The
article to be cleansed should be
laid upon a linen cloth on table:
take a clean sponge, dip in the pO-
tato wate- and use until the dirt is
all out: then wash in clean water
, several times
To Shrink Bingham Without
Ironing An easy way TO shrink
bingham, calico or percale: Put
goods in tub without unfolding it.
Let it soak for one hour, then take
out, unfold and hang on line with
out wringing, in a brisk breeze
When cloth is dry it will look as :.
i; had been carefully irOned
If clothespiHs are boiled in a salt
brine they will become tOughened
This will also prevent their sticking
to the clothes in frosty weather

In this way my love was killed,
but my husband always insisted ]
would love him again with good
treatment For three or four months
he has done better and | have tried
to help him, but cannot bring my
self to love him as l did.
Recently he has told me he does

the time and | think he means it,

1t would be we'll to consult an at

not you will be given the custody
of your child | think you will
have no trouble whatever, but you
sure that you do not go to lawyer
who will charge you great deal.
1t might be well to talk to the judge
of the probate court and learn from
him the name of a reliable attor-
ney.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Are girls
of Il too old to wear their hair
down their backs?
SWEET SEVENTEEN
Most girls look very well if they
wear their hair braided or tied in
the back but not hanging loosely.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: % I am
II years old. I am to be married in
the spring Would a suit or dress
be best to wear?
90 Do you think it is proper TO
correspond with other boys after
you are engaged?
BRIDE-T67BE.
% If you do not feel you can
afford suit and a dress, buy
whichever you think will be more
serviceable. A dress is usually
worn. of course, but many practica
brides prefer a suit because they
can get more service from it.
90 1t is all right if the boy you
are engaged to doesn't care.

DpOdOriZerS.

To prevent the smell of fish on
forks. add a spoonful of mustard 10
the dishwater.
The smell of onions may be done
away with by washing the pan in
hot water with soap, drying it,,
then washing it in a little strong
vinegar. Add a little sugar to the
water when boiling turnips to keep
down the odor. This also improves
the favor of the vegeta bles.
To deodorize cooking fat, cut up
a raw potato and fry it in the fat,
The odor of boiling caulifiowe~
may be corrected by placing a III
of vinegar on the back OF the
stove.
Salt put on squeezed lemon Skin
and used to scour dishes in which
fish and onions have been cooked
IS fine for removing the smell.
When burning refuse Ill the stove
put in a handful Of salt to kill the
odO'
Kerosene in the place of chloride
Of lime for sinks that have an odor
is quite as effective.

gerher on machine tsilk thread is
best, as it givesl This little seam
does not hurt the foot and is well
worth the little trouble.
A Use for Dry Bread-Soak bread
