TOday's Economy Prize.

DEAR ELIZABETH LATTIMER:
/ had a very nice slip-on sweater,
which / knitted myself. but as 1t Is
so disagreeable getting 1T on, and
off, l decided 1 would try to open
1t down the front i made two
rows OF stitching it could be either
hand or machine) and then cut be-
tween. I then crocheted a filet
band four inches wide. all around
the neck and down both fronts. i
also made cuffs on the sleeves. /
made my girl friends sweater over
also, and we both have dandy
sweaters now, at cost of only
S1.35 each. I used three balls of
worsted at As cents a ball.
1 hope this may be some help to
others who have slip-on sweaters
and have discarded them like we
did. MRS. E. A. WATERFIELD.

Advice Given by Washington Period

in Every Community.

This is your city. Keep it clean.
Be as careful and ~cOnsiderate of the
streets and the parks as you are of
your own house. You do not litter up
your own premises or permit it to be
strewn with trash, because you take
pride in it's appearance. Be as con-
siderate of your city.
When you go into the parks regard
the turf as you would your own front
lawn, the flower beds as you would
your pleasure and the pleasure of all
others. They are yours and you should
have a proprietary feeling toward
them and pride in them.
In the streets do not throw away
trash to disfgure the sidewalks and
the pavements. There are places for
waste paper and other refuse. There
are sewer openings into which this
material can be put. A Uttered street,
like a Uttered park, means bad house
keeping and you, the citizen, are the

Kidding Vacant Lots of Weeds.

There is a way, in Pensacola, at
least, to get the rank weeds cut from
vacant lots which are the property of
nOn-residents. Under the code, the
city, cutting the weeds at it's own ex-
pense when it fails to reach the own
err of the lot, may assess against the
property the cost of the moving. At
tax-collecting time, the city will be
reimbursed. The law, new one Of
the municipality, is excellent, since 1t
touches that troublesome person, the
nonresident owner. Other cities,
which have health problems not dis
similar to those in Pensacola, might

WHY =====-========
Ill Health Is the General LOt
of Mankind

Exposure to cold and wet is the usu-
al cause of sore throat, but it may also
be of rheumatic or equity origin. Lo-
cal irritation, as from drinking hot
drinks or the inhalation of nOXious
gases, will cause an acute infamma-
ton of the mucous membrane Of the
pharynx and soft palate.
The going out of doors when over
heated and not being protected by
wraps will often cause an inflamma-
ton of the throat.
Housekeepers run out into the yard
to hang up wet tea towels, etc, and
seldom stop to put on scarf or coat,
and then wonder why they suffer so
frequently from attacks of sore throat
and cold.
Much of the il-health we suffer
from can be traced to careiessness
and heedlessness on our own part.
1t is contrary to reason and good
Judgment to sit down to cool off when
very warm where the wind will blow
directly upon one. To ride about in
open automobiles without wearing
heavy coats and being protected around
the feet and ankles by thick robes
the many thoughtless things one does
every day-will cause sore throat
which may be severe enough to result
in a fatal illness.
Medicines are required for the treat
mont of nbiIIipncc
fever, stiffness and tenderness in the
muscles of the neck, soreness in the
throat and painfulness on swallowing
and the hacking dry cough.
First begin with gargle. This may
be composed of sodium bicarbonate,
one teaspoonful dissolved in a tea
cupful. of boiling water (and used
when quite warm) every five hours.
If the pain in the throat is severe,
cold applications are soothing-towels
wrung out of cold water and laid snug
ly against the neck, changing them as
soon as they become warm and keep
ing up the treatment for several hours,
If needed.
sucking small pieces OF chopped Ice
proves very soothing treatment for
pain in the throat.
A laxative medicine (whether suffer-
ing from constipation or no0 should
be taken at the beginning of the at
tack, a sedlitz powder, bottle of
citrate of magnesia, dose of castor
oil or salts may be taken.
1t is always best to remain indoors
for "a hours, preferably in bed, when
suffering from sore throat or at the
beginning of a cold.
IF the fever is high and there is an
unusual amount of restlessness and
ipritabilty, call in a physician to treat
the throat.
