Homemade Percolator.

You can use the old coffee pot and
make your own percolater. but first of
all 1t will be necessary to make the
bag to contain the coffee. Get piece
OF wire and make it to fit exactly
around the upper rim Of the coffee pot.
It will be necessary to remove the cof-
fee lid to make 1t lie evenly at the top.
Have the wire rim slip easily over
the top. Make a small bag about four
inches deep and sew the rim in at the
top. This bag should be made of un-
bleached muslin or thin crash. such
as 10-cent white toweling. Double
seam the bag-that is, make French
seam to avoid raw-edged seam. II
will be necessary to have the coffee
pulverized. That does not mean fine
grinding, but actually pulverided az
soft AS sugar. It can be purchased
In bulk, or pulverized after the coffee
Is purchased in whole grain. Keep 1t
in tin that the favor will not be de-
stroyed. Fill the coffee pot with hot
water to heat it, pour of this water,
pace the DAB III Inc wy Pue AZ q
heaping tablespoonful of coffee and
pour over 1t three cups of boiling
water. Set 1t on the stove where II
will keep hot. but not boil, place on
the lid. In few minutes pour of
the coffee, pour it a second time
through the bag. and the extracted
coffee will be as clear as amber. and
absolutely free from grounds. The
coffee can be made stronger or weak
err according to the strength desired.
The above makes three cups of strong
coffee. Coffee once made In this man
ner is so well liked that the old-tims
method is, no longer used. It can be
made in a teapot of earthenware
which can be placed on the hot stove.
To clean the bag, always wash 1t In
cold water (never hot) and dry be-
fore using again.

ASbuttermilk bath will do wonders
toward clearing the skin, but it must
be remembered that face tans very
easily after the application of sour
buttermilk. Wash the face clean, dry
1t with a soft towel and dabble the
sour milk on the skin. Pat it with
the hands until it dries. then rut
smooth and an application of powder
gives delightful results. Use the but
termilk only at night.
Another method of clearing the
complexion is to put the juice of a
half lemon In a cup of very hot water
and drink it before breakfast. Increase
the amount of lemon until the juice
Of one can be taken every morning.
AS the acid acts upon the liver, the
results are obtained in short order.
1t Is one of the open secrets of beauty
seekers. 1t would not be amiss at
such times to also use lotion OF
lemon juice and white of egg. beaten
together and applied to the face, aftei
1t is washed. As it begins drying,
brush the face lightly with towel,
then apply powder. The egg can be
used raw, or all ingredients cooked

3eautifiers. all exceedingly beneficial
when properly used.

For Sore Feet.


The busy man or woman who is
continually moving all day is very apt
to be troubled with sore feet.
The source of trouble may lie In the
make and fit of the shoes which are
worn.
The first thing In the care of the
feet is, If possible, to get shoes which
are not only the right size. but the
right shape. This done as nearly az
the circumstances will permit, there
are certain precautions to be taken.
One of the best is for person afflicted
with what we call tender feet to get
a supply of antiseptic cotton. Pull
OFF a sufficient quantity of the wad-
ding and put 1t over the place which
hurts before drawing on the stocking.
It is, Of course. necessary to turn the
stocking wrong side out in order to
put it on and not displace the cotton.
This serves as pad in absence of the
flesh pads which nature has forgotten
10 supply.
Dipping the feet in warm water and
afterward rubbing them while they are
wet with white vaseline, Is most graft
flying. as it makes them more supple
and softens the flesh. Talcum powder
may be, used afterward. A certain
number of thin felt corn plasters are
often beneficial, but as rule the hole
in the center must be cut out larger
than they come.
perfumery spray into which base
been poured witch hazel for spraying
the feet is most refreshing and anti
