Ice Cream Freezer.

Is your family one of those that
feel they cannot get through a sum-
mer without first visiting the hard
ware man and coming away with a
new ice-cream freezer?
An ice-cream freezer is, in fact, a
first aid" to hot weather comfort,
and it's products do much to recon-
cile listless. fretful families to sultry
days. But your family won't insist
upon a new freezer every summer
because the old one isn't dependable
or has become hard to work--f you
buy a good freezer in the first place.
Now, although your dealer may
show you freezers which have many
other distinctive and desirable fea-
lures, the essentials you should look
for are dependabiIity Of construction,
ease of operation and economy OF ice
consumption.
You will see two distinct types of
ice-cream freezers-the kind you turn
with a crank, and the automatic kind.
The automatic, 'crankless" kind is. of
course, less trouble, but 1t is slower
in it's action. However, 1T mas SIM
pIicity and sanitation in its favor.
This crankless freezer works like
a thermos bottle. 1t has three COM
partmentS, an inner one Tor the
cream, a surrounding one for the ice,

The aspects for today are excellent

1t is not, however. a suitable occasion
Tor taking chance, and speculation
or risky ventures should not be con-
sidered

and exceptionally strong, but just as
Its physical development will be
gratifying, its mentality will not, in
any way. be exceptional or striking.
Constant vigilance and unremittine
perseverance will be required to COM

If today is your birthday, your

to acquire intelligence, not to bene-

to acquire wealth This idea so OBJ
sesses you that your conversation

nations of money.
You are not by any means, riliserIy.
You spend freely, although this al :
ltude on your part is often brought
about by the reflection that a dis
play of riches will attract, and enable
you thereby to increase your pile.
You are very proud of what you
have accomplished thus far and your
present possessions serve only as an
incentive to increase and augment
them Thrift is sacred virtue and
an honorable obligation: accumulat-
ing money just for the sake of doing e
so kills kind impulses and deadens
keen sensibilities. Jeremy Taylor
very aptly said, He that is proud of
riches is fool. For if he be exalted
above his neighbors because he hath
more gold, how much inferior is he
to a gold mine"

Better Cough Than Choke.

Everybody remembers the charade:
BROTHERS and sisters have l none, but
this mans father is my fathers son.
The brothers and sisters merely help
to mislead the mind, very much as
the seven wives. cats, sacks and kits
do in the riddle about the man going
to st. Ives. Credulous folk who are at
all curious will notice printed some
where on their favorite cough cure
one or two similar charades. Usually
there is something like this: Guar
anteed under the food and drugs act,
June 80, 1906" The word "guaran-
teed- is the misleading part of it, for
there are a lot of simple people who
have a vague notion that this legend
on the label means that the medicine
is really a good remedy for some
thing or other, or that it contains no
injurious ingredients. The other iok-
err often printed on cough medicine
packages is something like this:
Contains no laudanum. cocaine.
chloroform or morphine"
Certain medicines are beneficial in
the sense that they alleviate, perhaps
by loosening tightness and so max
ing cough and expectoration easier,
without causing at the same time
other effects which may be deieteri-
Gus. such as destroying appetite or
interfering with digestion or duiling
general sensation.
For the majority of coughs which
are popularity treated by the patients
themselves or by members OF their
families, / am convinced II Is better
to have no treatment at all than the
usually early resort to remedies
which contain opiates. narcotics or
nerve sedatives of one kind OF an
other. To dull the sensation which
prompts coughing, in the carrier
stage of any throat, broncniai or
lung condition in which cough and
expectoration are natural, is the most
unwise policy one can pursue. ana
that is So even though the nenlcine
contains mo Iaudanuu, cocain chor-
oform or morphine"-for there are
plenty of other narcotics used in such
concoctions.
In certain cases it is not only jus
tifiable, but necessary and benehciai
to check coughing by means or an
opiate or narcotic--but In any case
this is a serious question which
should be left to the judgment Of the
physician. For the layman to indulge

To prevent milk from curdling
add a good pinch of bicarbonate
of soda to each quart before
putting it on to boil.
If you want your pastry to be
beautifully light use a knife for
mixing instead of a spoon, and
touch it with the hands as lit
tie as possible.
Boiled potatoes make an ex-
cellent substitute for soap
when the hands have become
blackened by contact with pots
and pans. Rub a little potato
well into your hands, then
wash in warm water.
To clean a soiled sunshade,
open it and sponge it carefully
with flannel wrung out in hot
water to which a little am
monia has been added. Place a

the water from rusting the

Often inspiration for these warm

color scheme of ones frockS 1t Is often
possible to have a wrap that will be
