EARLY SPRING PRESERVES.

The thought of preserving in early
spring is new to some Of us, yet the
work must be done if we would make

our attention is the homely rhubarb.

much of the rhubarb as convenient,

the jars under the cold-water faucet

keep indefinitely in a dry, cool place.
When used, drain off the water. plunge
the contents of the can in boiling
water, and let stand at the boiling

the rhubarb is ready to use in any
way desired.

SKIN IRRiTATIONS.
BY ROYAL S. COPELAND
ConnnInnlana ~ Enalth Nar NnrL 4

So long as we are unconscious of the
various parts OF our bodies We are
apt to be happy. Whenever we get
a pain it seems as if it were an at
tack upon our most sensitive point.
We don't like pain. mad we are an
noyed by every sensation different
from the normal.
The doctors have a word-"pru-
ritus.' This is used to describe every
peculiar and unusual symptom which
you try to relieve by scratching. The
commonly employed term to describe
pruritus is itching"
IF you arc tired aud nervous take
notice for a little while of the many
itching places you have. Your scalp
will itch just over the right ear. your
left ankle may itch, your left knee will
urge attention. your neck will proclaim
its need. there will be a crawling SEN
sation in the right ear. etc, etc,
Irritation of the skin is caused by
various agents. There are a lot of
vermin which are capable of producing
trouble of this sort. Bedbugs, lice.
fleas and mosquitoes iDflict bites which
may be followed by itching and smart
ing and burning.
Some plants and certain caterpillars
leave products on the skin which may
be followed by pronounced pruritus.
Sometimes the skin may react I'M
comfortably to some brand of cold
cream or face powder. Intense itching
NAV follow their use. A given soap
may not be well borne by every skin.
In such a case efforts at cleanliness
may act to do harm.
Uncleanliness. however. is very like
~ to be an important factor among the
cause of pruritus.
There are many skin diseases in
which pruritus is n Of the most pro-
and other skin troubles are among
and other skin troubles are maong
them. Chapping of the skin may pro
duce it.
Auto-intoxicatian, intestinal disturb
ance, poor nutrition. constipation, over
eating and food poisoning may cause
itching of the skin. Certain foods
strawberries and shellfish, especially,
seem to bring on pruritus in some per-
sons.
Jaundice and diabetes are two dis
eases which cause most violent pru-
ritus. Bad teeth and gums may pro-
duce the symptom.
There are other cases which are
nervous in origin. Fear. cmbarrass-
ment and certain diseases of the ner-
vous system may cause itching of the
skin.
Sometimes the itching is noticed only
on removal of the clothing at night.
Or taking off the underwear. the cor-
set or garters, there may be terrible
spells Of pruritus. These may last for
a quarter of an hour or more.
The itching may be confined to the
palms of the hands, to the nose, to the

THE TABLE

A little gateleg table may be used for
card games. for one of those extra ia
bles for a lamp. candles, flowers or
books. 1t may be set, with one leaf
down, along the arm of a chair or
sofa; it may be used in the dining
room as a small extra serving table.
The middle sized gateleg may be used
in the bedroom, the hall, or as a break
fast table; while the large gateleg,
which is of curse correspondingly ex-
pensive, may be used in the living
room, or as a dining table. There is a
quaint dignity about the gateleg table

The perversity which guides woman in love

John Alden was stalwart youth, and made her
a good husband. She saw heaven in his blue eyes,
beyond doubt, but to most women the valiant sol
der of fortune Capt. Miles Standsh, would have
had more appeal Standish surrounded with
the halo Of romance and adventure in dozen
