Numb Arms.
Mrs H. is IS years old, and her arms
and hands become very numb.
Numbness may be caused by anything
that hampers the circulation.
Every one has had the experience of
the arms and legs going to sleep
when some position is assumed which
cuts off the circulation.

Mrs. H. This may be. due to some
slight chronic toxemia from some
cause. Toxemia literally means poison
in the blood and occurs when there is
absorption from some poison such as

Cider Used In Many Ways

Unfermented apple juice, or sweet
cider, as it is called, is one of our
favorite Winter beverages. but it has
many other uses aside from this. In
manv parts of the country sweet cider
can be obtained directly from the
cider mills, and in many places farm
ers make their own. This sweet cider
has most of the dietetic value OF
fresh apples and is an excellent laxa-
tive
Cider can be kept sweet or pre-
vented from rapid fermentation, Dy
storing it in cold place, or, If 1t IS 10
be kept any length of time, by sterlllz-
ing it. Artificial preservatives, such as
penzoate of soda or salicylic acld, are
sometimes used, but are not recon-
mended
I mentioned the use of cider in other
ways than as beverage. 1t can De
used in the making of many desserts;
it gives an excellent flavor if used to
baste fresh pork or smoked ham during
the roasting period; it can be made into
gelatin salads, trapped to serve with
meats or game, or used as the liquids
in good molasSes fruit cake and in
some steamed puddingS.
A delicious tapioca pudding is made
tapioca in three cups of cider in a
double boiler until the tapioca is clear
and the mixture is thickened. From
one-fourth to one-third cupful of sugar
should be added to sweeten the pudding,
and two whole cloves and small strip
of lemon rind added during the cook
ing for further flavor
When the tapioca is done, remove 1t
from the fire, stir in three-fourths cup
full of seedless raisins, one tablespoonful
of lemon juice and two tablespoonful
of chopped nuts. Chill and serve with
cream.
Instead of the raisins one cupful of
diced apples may be added to the
tapioca and cooked for 10 minutes
There are many other variations Of this
recipe that may be had by changing
the kind of fruit used.

Skin Tests.

w-There are some persons who
are sensitized to certain foods, pollens,
animal dander, emanations from feath-
ers. wool. etc. The offending substance
NAV cause skin eruptions such as
hives, asthmatic attacks or hay fever.
This condition is known as "allergy' or
idiosyncrasy.
There is a skin test which the VIC
tim can take which will determine the
offending substance or substances. 1t
consists of an injection under the skin
of a tiny amount of sterile water ex-
tract of the various substances known
to produce the irritations. Those which
offend cause a reddening of the skin on
the site of the injection, possibly a
slight swelling and itching while the
others leave no effect.
Once the cause of the discomfort is
found you can try to avoid It or per-
haps you can develop an immunity py
taking very tiny amounts OF 1t for
long period of time. Not every person
who Is representative to certain FOODS,
pOllenS or other substances can pe
cured, but there are enough to make 1t
worth while to try this out.
If your physician is not equipped to
make these tests you can find one in

These meals have been planned first
of all with Christmas day in mind. Most
of us will prefer to make Sundays and
Mondays meals simple in character,
meals that can be prepared without
much effort. With this fact in mind,
I suggest a roast shoulder of lamb for
Sunday, as this will usually provide
enough leftover for the next nights
dinner.
AS a change from the regular stuflng
for the lamb, use two cups OF timely
chopped raw apple, one-fourth teaspoon
of cinnamon, one to two tablespoons
of sugar, and one-half cup of fine, dry
bread crumbs. This makes rather dry
mixture, but as the apples cook they
will moisten the crumbs, which in turn
will swell and hold the stufflng to-
gether. Have the bone removed from
the shoulder when you buy the meat,
stuff it, tie firmly, and roast slowly, al
lowing one-half hour for each pound.
Sunday nights supper Is again meal
that can be prepared quickly and easily;
one pint of oysters. Scald one pint OF
milk with two tablespoons of butter,
dash of nutmeg and one-half teaspoon
of salt. Pour the oysters into the milk
and add one-fourth cup of crumbled
crackers. Be sure enough seasoning is
used, and serve at once in hot plates.
Chopped raw clams-two cups of them
may be scalded and used in the same
way as oysters to make clam stew.
Goose is the traditional bird for
Christmas, as turkey is for Thanksgiv-
ing. Goose meat is very fat, and for
that reason is more difficult of digestion
than turkey, chicken, capon, etc. Young
geese, called goSlingS, are in the market
through the Fall months and December
and many people prefer them to the
older birds, as they are less strong IN
favor and usually more tender. Good
geese should be plump and have pliable
bills. In the older birds the feet are
harder and the bills less pliable.
Since goose is such a fat meat, 1t
will be better to start the meal with
fruit cup, containing plenty Of the
citrus fruits. The fruit acids are a
