The Head Nurse
OdyS:
KEEP AIR MOVING,

You can be kept too warm whe n
wrapped in an air blanket
just as well as when covered with
a woolcn one. On d perfectly stin
day the layer Of air about the body
becomes warmed by the skin and
If not removed it forms an air
blanket which goes far to keep the
skin warm. For air is a poor con-
ductor OF heat. That is why modern
houses are built with an air cham
Der between the walls and the Oc-
Cupants are not subjected to the
frequent changes OF atmosphere that
were endured in the good old days
OF the solid walls
On hot day. even If it is not a
particularly humid one. If the air is
staEnant you will be cnvclOped in
moisture as the evaporation of per
spiratiOn saturates the air blanket
with water vapOr, 50 that further
evaporation is rendered difficult
The modern Office building is TAX
ing better care OF this problem than
is the average home. The electric
fan is found where men are in con-
troll and the office worker is not re
tarded in her work by the folds Of
the air blanket.
If the electric fan is still too much
of a luxury for your home. remem-
ber that you have doors throughout
the house that make huge impro-
vised fans il you will hut use them.
Open the doors: swing them back
and forth. creating a current. In
those rooms where the family fore
gathers do this once or twice dur
ing a warm afternoon or evening
and you will he surprised how much
cooler you feel even If the thermom-
cter on the wall registers the same.

When making jelly, it is not ad-
visable to boil more than four cup
fuIs of juice at time.
The greater the volume Of any
given liquid, the longer the time
required to reduce the amount.
Prolonged cooking makes a darker

Apple jelly quickly cooked will
be pale amber in color. but IL
there is a lot of juice cooked at
once the jelly becomes almost a
dark topaz.
To Make Apple Jelly
Choose tart apples not overripe.
Wash and cut out any dark spots,
but do not pare or core. Cut into
eighths. Put into a granite pre-
serving kettle with Just enough
water to allow the fruit to cook

The farmer has to market his pro-

for quality and the price will be
regulated by supply and demand. If
he will place his produce in such
position as to attract and arrest the
passing motorist and then make the
price and quality such that the

is on his way to business that may
be made season long and highly
profitable. IF the farmer keeps on
hand a supply of suitable bags or
packages in which to handle his
products, it will mean many a sale
which otherwise would be lost be-
cause the autoist would often not be
prepared to handle the things he
would like to buy. This idea is
capable of adaptions that will sug-
gest themselves.

MUTTON CURED
ON HOME PLACE
GOOD AS PORK

More mutton would be consumed,
the United States department Of
agriculture believes, if farmers rea-
lized generally that cured and
smoked mutton is as delicious as
pork. At present, only 80 per cent
of the meat used in the United States
is lamb or mutton. This is partly
due to the fact that there is pop
ular impression among the farmers
that after sheep is slaughtered, the
only domestic use for the flesh is
eating it while it is fresh. AS a
consequence, the farmers family
grows very tired of mutton before
the carcass is consumed.
For the purpose Of finding some
way of obviating this difficulty, ex-
perimental work in the curing and
smoking of mutton has BEEN done
recently by the bureau of animal in
dustry of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Those who
have been doing this work give the
following directions for home curing
mutton:
The first essential in curing is to
be sure that the mutton is thorough
ly cooled. The meat should never be
frozen, either prior to or during the
period of curing. The time to begin
curing is when the meat is cooled
and still fresh; the proper time is
from "a to SO hours after killing. Be-
cause of the high shrinkage incident
to curing, only large pieces, such as
the legs and shoulders, are suitable
for treatment.
Mutton may be cured by using any
good brine formula, but dry-cured
meat is better for future use than
brine-cured and requires less work.
However, danger from rats and other
vermin is less in the case of brine
cured meat. Both methods of cur
ing are very successful if care is
taken to see that each operation is
executed properly.
Following is the method of dry
curing mutton advocated by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture: For each 100 pounds of
<meat use 7 pounds salt, pounds SUI
gar or strip, 2 ounces saltpeter,
ounces red pepper, and 3 ounces
black pepper.
Mix all ingredients thoroughly,
then rub the mixture well over the
meat and pack it away in a box or on
a table. Allow one and one-half
days cure for each pound of meat
the pieces average. After the meat
is cured hang it in the SmokehOuSe,

keeps house would be perfectly will
ing to take home bushel or more OF
produce if by so doing he could les
sen his living expenses.
Stands Along Many Roadways
Roadside stands for the sale of
fruits and vegetables are seen along
many highways and frequently have
proved profitable. But observation
shows that they have not been devel-
oped to the full measure of success.
One Of the principal difficulties is
that the autoist does not see the
stand until he is abreast of it, after
which he must make up his mind and
check his machine. Then, in nine
cases out of ten, he concludes that
there will be another stand farther
along and that it is not worth while to
turn around and go back One farmer
in Pennsylvania solved this diff
Guilty by placing a series of signs
along the entire half-nile front of
his farm. These greeted the mo-
forest.
Fresh Fruit One-Fourth Mile"
Sweet Cider 60 Rods"
""Fresh Comb Honey so Rods"
Fresh Vegeta bles 40 Rods"
"Fresh Eggs 20 Rods"
The motorists eye thus was at
tracted and he had time to make up
his mind, and il a large number Of
instances stopped and made a Dur-
chase. The signs were inexpensive
and yielded a large profit.
There are many motorists who
travel over the same route time after
time. The farmer learns to recognize
