HOME NURSING AND HEALTH HINTS
BY M. JESSIE LEITCH.

| They were a nuisance, those COM
presses, and without protective COW
erings the small night shirts were
damp around the neck, and the pill
lows were a sight.
Then, the doctor, dropping in for
an evening call, discovered the un-
happy state Of both small boys and
pillows, and hastened to explain.
What Mrs. Lang should have done,
he said, was to have called him back
that morning and said that she
didn't know a thing about COM
presses. He had just taken for grant,
ed that such a good mother knew
about such things.
And then he demonstrated.
An old linen sheet, or q portion of
it, was commandeered, because linen
, absorbs water more readily than cot
ton.
The Real Secret Told Here.
Two strips of linen three inches
wide and long enough to stretch COM
fortably from one ear under the chin
to the opposite ear, were cut and
measured on Jimmies willing throat.
A strip Of flannel one-fourth inch
wider, and long enough to overlap
on the top of the head, was then cut.
And then (this is the secret of
of placeD Sits were cut in the fan
mel after measuring. to permit of the
passage of two small ears.
The linen. wrung out of cold water,
| was then placed on the strip of fan
mel. and the application adjusted
deftly and securely pinned on top of
| the head with safety pins.
Wrapping compresses around a
throat, instead of applying them this
way, the doctor explained, not only
defeats the object of a compress.
which is constant application of
| moisture, but is annoying to the pa
tient, who dislikes to have his ears
covered and also to have things
pinned around his throat

Scalloped Fish.

Pick over three cups Of cooked fish
and break into small pieces Make q
cream sauce by blending three table,
spoons of flour, three tablespoons Of
butter and three cups Of milk to-
gether. Boil for few minutes. add
one teaspoon Of salt, a little pepper,

pieces Of butter: bake in q moderate
oven for half an hour.

Broiled Mackerel.

Wash the fish and remove the head
and backbone. After wiping dry sea-
son with salt and pepper sprinkled
on each side: broil for twenty min
utes over clear fire; have the
broiler well creased with lard; serve
the fish on the plates from which it
is to be eaten and pour over each,
portion a small quantity Of melted
huttnr seasoned with finely chopped
parsley.

we'll and split. Chop twelve olives.

White Hands.

The problem Of keeping the hands
soft and white Is always q compli-
Gated one, because in the winter they
dry and chap. and In the summer
they become brown and sunburned.
Most of us hate wearing gloves al
ways in the summer, and many OF US
find that in the winter not even thick
gloves are q sufficient protection.
To make it still worse, 1t Is hard to
rub oil on the hands during the day
because Of the dust the oily skin will
collect, and 1t is impossible to use
oil at night without staining the bed
clothes, unless one is willing to sleep
with gloves on. Altog gnther the in
conveniences are so many that most
women, without meaning to do 1t,
neglect their hands shamefully.
Obviously the best thing is to And
some lotion that is not greasy. Per
eonally, have found the honey al
mond lotion best for this because it
bleaches the skin and keeps it white,
and is not sticky nor greasy. It is a
bit difficult to make. but not imros-
sibly SO. Here is my formula:
HONEY ALMOND LOTION.
Ounce seed. .1-3 ounce
Cold water. r.................1 pint
Steep this overnight for twelve
hours. strain without pressure; then
take one ounce of sweet almonds.

! -Bowser the Hound.
Reddy Fox stood on a rock in the
Old Pasture and watched Bowser the
Hound roar past. He grinned. and
finally he chuckled as he heard Bow
ser's voice grow fainter and fainter
toward the Green Forest.
'I guess that fellow will get all the
running he wants for one day."
chuckled Reddy. He thinks he is
still following me. and he will keep
on thinking so. Now, 1 will take a
good rest and be ready to do my part
when he gets back here" So Reddy
curled up in cool place, and even
took a short nap.
Meanwhile. Bowser the Hound was
following trail as fresh and as easy
to follow as he could ask for. Back
to the Green Forest and in and out
among the trees and piles of brush it
led, and so once more along the bank
of the Laughing Brook. Bowser
stopped long enough to get a drink.

hands where mosquitoes are very an
noying.
Another excellent dope recon-
mended to me by an outdoor man
of long experience is this:
Olive oil. oil of tar, oil OF cedar
and oil of citronella~equal parts Oh
each.
This makes a gooey dope, but IT
certainly does repel the pests. A
cloth with few drops Of 1t may be
hung ip the door of a tent and the
occupant will be visited oy no
Oil of citronella alone is good, but
does not last.
Still a third mosquito dope, sug-
gested by the Department of Agricul-
lures Farmers Bulletin 444. is this:
Castor oil, alcohol and Oil OF law
, ender, Of each an ounce.
This mixture avoids the odor or
citronella, which is not agreeable to
some persons. If castor oil Will DO
the mosquitoes any good. or If alco-
hol will help 'em to enjoy life, !. for
one, say give them all they want.
Hunters, anglers or mixers exposed
for long periods to mosquitoes may
prefer a mixture which retards the
evaporation of the citronella: on OF
citronella, one ounce, and liquid
petrolatum. four ounces.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Tomatoes and Arthritis.
Some one says that a person hav-
ing arthritis should not eat even one
tomato a day. Just what effect do
| tomatoes have on the system? Would
they cause chalky deposits in the
joints? (Mrs. H. e. F.)
Answer-That is favorite old fall
| lacy Of the born" food specialist and
| other modern charlatans. No less an
| authority on nutrition than the great
| Hindhede has shown that the daily
ingestion of five Kilograms Of to.
matoes (about ten pounds) with SOC
| grams (twenty-one ounces) of gra-
| ham bread and $50 grams GIVE
| and one-half ounces) of margarin
| for four days produces a urine hav-
| ing a good solvent power for uric
acid. AS chalky deposits. in the kind
of arthritis Goint inflammation
called gout are deposits of urate of
| soda, the use Of tomatoes in the diet
of one SO afflicted would be unobje
! tionable. if not actually beneficial.
