BETTER CARE MEANS
FEWER GLOVES BOUGHT.

Kid gloves may be cleaned at home
if one has the time. One method that
has seemed practical and is recon-
United States Department of Agricu1-
ture is to rub the soiled parts of the
gloves with cornmeal moiStened with
enough gasoline to keep the meal from
scratching the gloves, then to dry
them thoroughly in. the air. Another
method is to shake them up and
down in fruit jar partly filled with
gasoline, changing the gasoline until
it remains clear. Gasoline must al
ways be used in the open air, because
it is very inf1ammable and explosive.
White kid gloves clean more satisfac-
torily than colored ones.
Washable kid gloves may be
cleaned by putting them on the hands
!, and washing them in lukewarm suds
made with neutral white soap, rims
ing them thoroughly and drying them
slowly. y A little talcum rubbed in
after the gloves are dry restores the
soft finish to many kinds of gloves.
Silk gloves are best washed in cold
Or 1ukewarm suds made with good
white soap or white soap chips; they
should be we'll rinsed. It is better
to wash white silk gloves at night to
com bined effect of light and mois-
ture.
Cotton fabric gloves may be wash
ed in lukewarm suds, rinsed and
hung in the air to dry.

The skillfuI use of natures rene

and gardens, will assist in removing
the cane and then kind old Mother
Nature does the curing. When the
whooping cough is in the neighbor-
hood you simply turn to the clippings
you have made from this paper,
again read the simple and easily ap-
piled directions and follow them. The
trouble is soon over. When grand
father has an attack of Lumbago you
turn to your copy of Volume 2 of the
Home Health Club books, apply the
treatment and next morning the
Lumbago is gone. When Aunt Mary
or big brother has an attack of ap-
pendicftis you go to your medicine
chest of Home Remedies made from
the wayside herbs under the direc-
tons, Volume 5 of your Club books
and you apply Grandmother's ONT
ment very freely over the abdomen
and especially rub it in well. over
the right side. Then you give a
generous dose of castor oil and the
danger is quickly over.
I wish I could meet, more of you
face to face. I know I would have
more helpers throughout the coun-
try. Last week there were visitors
from Texas, Florida, Washington,
Illinois, Minnesota, Michigan, Indi-

NEATNESS PAYS

There is an unmistakab1e charm
about the girl, who carries the swell
groomed' air about her. No girl
likes to look, by comparison, as if
she just emerged from the rag-bag,
while her companion is the pink of
neatness and general daintyness.
The dainty girls clothes never look
tumbled; you never see her with a
button missing, sor a knot in her shoe
lace; either do you see her pretty
pink fingertips poking forlornly thru
her gloves. Do you know why my
dear? She has learned to be tidy at
home. Yes, there is no doubt that
it is a dreadful bore at times, but it
pays in the end.
You may have learned from sad
experience that if you leave your cot
ton frock on the floor just where you
stepped out of it, Or if you fling your
georgette blouse careless1y over the
back of a chair, when you want to
wear them again you will have to de-
eide between pressing and untidy-
ness. The hat that is just thrown
on the bed or box and left there for
two or three days; the shoes that are
on the floor all covered with dust
or white with powder, must of nee
essity require going over before they
can be worn on the street again.
A good use for candy boxes, which
every girl has a supply of, is to put
them, tops and bottoms, in the top
drawer. Into one goes handkerchiefs
another gloves, another lingerie rib
bons and SO on. Have the boxes fit
in as tightly as you can, then when
the drawer is opened and closed, each
article will stay in place, where they
would not otherwise, and, my dear,
you'll be surprised how much time
this simple little thing will save for
/ you, for then you'll never have to
spend five or ten minutes hunting

CLUB NOTES.
I1dIlIIItUII, OIII, NdII.
Dear Doctor Reeder:


Dear Doctor Reeder:
About two years ago I was operat
ed upon for goiter. My neck looked
all right afterwards, but now the
gland on the left side is beginning to
grow again and my eyes are becom-
ing very prominent. I have not been
to the doctor about it because I am
afraid he will want to operate on me
again and this I do not want if it is
possible to avoid it. A friend has
told me that I have goiter of the
eyes. Can this be possible?
I would like to know if anything
can be done to save me from this
disease.
Answer:
From your description I would
judge that you are suffering with
what is known as Exophthalmic goi-
ter. This form of goiter makes the
eyes bulge outward and unless prop
erly treated soon affects the heart
quite seriously. Nearly the entire
contents of a recent number of the
North American Journal of Homeo-
pathy was devoted to the subject of
goiter. Surgery was generally con-
demned. A few still recommended it,
however. Diet and specific medica-
ton come next, but the real cure
approved by all who had used it was
the Auto-Hemic Therapy; that is,
treating the, blood with the patients
own blood A painless and thoroughly
safe method that has recorded no
failures. I have written you more
in detail about it.

FOWLS NEED GRIT

Fowls kept in confinement need grit
at their disposal quite as much as
other kinds of feeds. The grit already
in their gizzards, at the time flock
is penned, might be all that the fowls
will require for three or four weeks,
but if more is not supplied digestive
trouble will soon set in. 1t is safer
to supply it from the beginning. Sand
will do for the purpose, but chickens
seem to prefer a coarser g.. one of
size between wheat end CON. oyster
shells are commonly sup2.'ed 10 the
flock because of the lime they contain,
which is necessary for shell formation,
but they also serve to some extent
as grit in the diet. The pieces be-
come smooth more quickly than a
harder grit and fresh supply must
be eaten more ofen. A hen needs and
will consume about l pound OF grit
in a 12-month period.
