Drink More Water.

The baby frequently has a notice
able fever in the first two or three days
/ of life due to an unsatisfied demand
no food and should receive no food
| whatever except that which it gets from
the mothers breast in the first two
days of life A young infant should
receive first tepid and after few weeks
pleasantly cool water to drink at regu-
lar intervals three or four times in the
! day. no matter what the infant is fed.
! In hot weather the baby requires still
| more water and should have all he
| wants. A great many infants suffer
| from irritation of kidneys and bladder
| simply because they do not receive
enough water. A great deaI OF SKIN
| irritation and of digestive difficulty In
yonnp' infants is due to insufficient
! water. ~.
There is some suggestive expert
mental evidence to encourage the
theory that fever may be actually
produced by lack of free water. ana
everybody knows how profusely the
patient perspires at the time Of the
crisis" in pneumonia. when the fever
disappears and convalescence sets IN.
One of our best remedies at the onset
of pneumonia or any other acute
respiratory lHIeClioh, do wei 90
throughout the illness, is the hot
mustard food bath-which produces
free water elimination through the
skin.
In typhoid fever the more water
the patient can be persuaded to drink
the better the patients condition will
be. In some hospitals such patients
actually suffer from lack Of water.
because they are too sOmnolent or
dopy from the illness to call for
! water A jug with siphon tube and
that the patient may drink freely and
without effort whenever he thinks of
it, without the necessity of rousing
up to call a nurse. He can't drink
too much water; he frequently suffers
from physiological thirst, whether he is
conscious of thirst or not.
Water is an aid to digestion. Cold
water Immediately stimulates the Sc
cretion of gastric juice, and therefore
cold water may be taken before
meal or in the course of meal as
freely as desired. Hot water tends
to diminish the secretion of gastric
Juice, and therefore should not be
taken just before meal.
Water is laxative, and a pint or so
may be taken hot or cold. as pre-
ferred, with or without little salt.
on rising in the morning and before
retiring at night, to aid the bowel
function.
Many individuals, particularly
women. suffer from bladder irrita-
bility and undue frequency because
they fail to drink enough water.
Not less than three pints, and as
much more as may be comfortably
taken, is the right quantity Of water

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

The Long I.
Please tell me the meaning of the
word vitamine and how it is pro-
nounced.-(Mrs. K. E. 81
. Answer.-An unidentified substance
occurring in leafy vegetables, the
outer coats Of the cereals, in some of
the organs of animals (such as liver.
heart, kidney. sweetbreads). in milk.
butter. etc, and essential to normal
nutrition and growth. 1t is pro-
nounced, and should be spelled, Wit
amin, the first 81 long.
Astigmatism.
Kindly explain what astigmatism is
(W. B. R.)
Answer-Any irregularity in the
curvature of the cornea or front Win
dow of the eye. which gives dis
tprted image demanding more or less
strain on the part of vision to correct
the distortion. Practically all OF us
have more or less astigmatism. Latin
students know what a-stigma means
without point; that is, the light rays,
instead of meeting at a point on the
retina, fall short or pass beyond the
retina. An astigmatic eye may be
compared with a crooked or uneven
pane of glass in window.

Carpets, Curtains and
Draperies Labor and
Time Saving Methods
Welcomed by the Home
Laundress. {.

An excellent way to wash Woolen
underwear. sweaters, scarfs. blankets
and hosiery is to use boraX in the
water. 1t keeps wool from shrinking
and colors from streaking. and
cleanses thoroughly and antiseptical-
ly. To proceed. fill a tub full of luke
warm water Add two large table
spoons Of borax and enough soap jelly
to make a good suds. Squeeze the
garment gently. but do not wiring
with the hands. and never use the
washboard. Rub between the hands
gently and send loosely through
water of the same temperature. and
with boraX and soap added.
Each rinsing water must be of the
same temperature. and even the last
must contain Iborax and little soap
If you wish to wash blankets for the
first time, do not mix them with those
that have been washed before. They
have the natural grease OF the WOOL.
as you will see when they get INTO
the water. and it must be taken out
then or never. To prevent woolen
garments from shrinking. they must
be dried very quickly and much of
the moisture can be shaken out. The
shaking also raises the pile or the
" ool and makes it soft. See that
such things are pulled into their nat
ural shape before they are thoroughly
dry, and hang in the air. but not in
the sun.
If drying indoors must be resorted
to, do not hang too near the fire nor
in too great heat. If the slightest
steam rises from woolens when they
are drying there is too much heat.
Wool when wet is plastic. retaining
almost any shape into which it may
be drawn, hence special care must
be taken to keep woolen garments
in good shape during the process of
washing and drying. If You wish to
shrink wooden garment fold it. place
in a tub. cover with boiling water
and allow the garment to remain until
the water. cools. Hang straight on
line or place on the floor on sheet
and when partly dry press on the
wrong side. Put over the garment

used for mems suitings. and dampen il

washed may be successfully cleaned
with gasoline. Place one at time
in a tub in a cool place far away from
any fire and cover with gasoline
Allow to remain over night. Drain
and then place In another tub OF
gasoline. Strain the gasoline used In
the first tub for the first quilt and use
it with a fresh supply of gasoline fol
cleaning the second quilt. When wash
ing colored quilts avoid using alkali
as it will run the colors and ruin the
materials. If quilts are badly sOiled
put a little Kerosene in the first tub
Of gasoline. 1t will cut the dirt.
Care of Tailored Clothes.
When cleaning or pressing trousers

little ammonia to the water In which
will be greatly surprised to see the
result. 1t will remove the shiny look
and the crease will stay in mems
trousers much longer. A mans clothes

be either placed in the proper trousers
