Household Hints

Salt and water makes a splendid gargle for sore throat.
 Salt in whitewash will make it stick.
 Salt rubbed on spoons will remove egg stains.
 Salt in water keeps flowers fresh.
 Salt thrown in fire will put out fire in chimney.
 SometimeS- one has a silk or wool garment which is so badly wrinkle1 that one feels that sprinkling it is necessary and yet one does not wish to do that. Try hang ng it in damp cellar for a few hours. It will gather just enough dampness to press easily and look well.
 A delightful way of ridding ones house of flies is to place large bowls of sweet peas around. You will find that flies will either escape or become intoxicated and fall.
 Scala your rat traps thoroughly with strong soapsuds each time you trap one, and you will catch all that smell the bait. A little salt sprinkled in the frying pan before placing fish to fry, will prevent it from sticking to pan.
 When boiling a cracked egg, tea spoonful of salt in the water win pre- vent the contents from boiling out.
 
 To remove insects from green veg etables, wash in salt water; but do noF let the vegetables soak in 1t.

CLUB NOTES.
Dear Doctor:-

Dear Doctor:-
 My son is addicted to the habit uf cigarette smoking. He has tried to quit, went without for week, dur ing that time he suffered with tooth ing been quite i'll. He has gone back to smoking again. Is there anything I can do to help him to overcome the habit or rather kill the appetite? He is not strong and I feel sure it is injuring him.
 Mrs R. A. M.
 (Answer) I believe that your son can overcome the habit of smoking cigarettes if you were to procure for him some specially prepared or med icated gum and have him chew it and gradually break off with the smoking. He can overcome the habit without bad results and he will u,- umately become a strong, healthy boy While he is chewing the gum would think it advisable that he take a little tobacco in a clay pipe, three or four times daily for the first two weeks, smoking twice a day for the next week, then once a day for week, after which he can quit entire ly He should keep on with the gum for couple of months longer. when the craving for the tobacco will Ie- entirely overcome. Of course it will not do any good if he will not con centrate his will upon the desire to quit the use of cigarett,s.

with it's charming straight lines and its Puritan collar, and it uses orange worsted for it's trimming. About the deep cuffs and wide collar there is a crocheted edge. Half a dozen or more conventional flowers of the cro- cheted variety are used to suggest a high waistline which is further emphasized by the green ribbon vel vet which is strung through the cro- cheted motifs. A loop and two ends of velvet ribbon grace either side.
 The combination of these colors is entirely satisfactory to thu artists eye and in the light of fashion, most satisfactory to the young aspirer to styleful dressing.

Puncture Repairs Simple
With Cementless Patch

Many motorists are unaware how
simple it is to make a temporary re-
pair of a puncture.
The United States Tire Company
claims that the invention of its ce-
rentless patch has removed the
terror from inopportune punctures.
The cementless patch already is
smeared with the necessary gum.
All the motorist need do to have
a welI-gummed patch. Is to tear
from the surface of. the patch a
covering of cambric. which guards
the sticky surface. until the patch

II the shoe has not been damaged
badly attention need be paid only
TO the hole in the inner tube. The
victim should first rough up the
surface of the inner tube around
the puncture with a piece of sand
paper. Then pull the cambric fac
ing of and moisten the sticky sur
face with gasoline. The moistening
makes the cement more sticky. Ap-
ply the patch. Then put it under
