Concerning Medicine Bottles. “I can't read the directions on the bottle at all” said the man of the house, petulantly staring =at the medicine bottle which he insisted upon keeping on the windowsill in the kitchen. So he goured some into a glass and drank it with many srimaces. It was & mew teaic, and he was rather fond of tordes, ad most men are. Not to mentien women. There is something so Mmysterious about needing a tonic. I¢ puts one, momen- tarily at least, into the spotlight of family affairs, and excuses a person from many little family tasks which etherwise might be imposed upon one. “If yoh would pour the tonic out of the bottle properly, instead of just any old way,” announced the daugh- ter of the house, importantly, “it wouldn't get like that. “All Nonsense,” Says Father. And while the father turned to the mother with a “madam-is-this-the- way-you-allow-your-daughter-to-ad- dress-her-elders” expression on_his face, the daughter, unconscious of the look, took the bottle from his hand and sald: “In_the first place it says expressly on the outside of the bottle, “To be kept i@ dark place’ That isn't the kitch windowsill, certainly It also 8, ‘Shake well before taking.’ 9 nsense. They buy those labeis by the gross and stick 'em on, all alfke. I never pay any attention to the label,” growled her father. The daughter stared, ‘her mother said. y. John!” in mild surprise e father maintained stoutly that he *never pald any attention to the labls.” That tonics were all alike, anyway, and that a little more or a 1it! less wasn’'t going to kill a man. If.is the fine, carefree attitude of many a mortal toward tonics, impos- sible as it may seem. “And when you take the cork out of a medicine bottle you should never take it out and put it down on the windowsill, or any place.” continued the/young daughter. “You should er gur little finger around it, this wgy =—Ademonstrating—"and houi it wiu":our little finger all the yow-are measuring the dose. ‘You should pour the mixture away from the label, never over it, so that the drops will not drip down and streak the label like this one is streaked.” Her father was listening, though he still resented slightly the girl's dis- play of her fund of information. “And you shouldn’t measure In & teaspoon. Because few teaspoons are alike, and sometimes there are ingre- dients in medicines which tarnish sil- ver spoons. If a prescription says minims it means minims, and If it says drops it means drops.

Proper Hair Tonicss Pilocarpine hydrochlorate 2 grains Precipitated sulphur 80 grains Creosol (Lilly) .80 drops Castor oil . .10 drops Alcohol (95%) . 4 oune Tr. cantharldes’ Farina cologne . Rose water, to make. This is the best hair tonic that I, personally, know anything about. It contains pllocarpine, a drug which has been found to act directly upon the color cells of the hair. For this rea- son the formula s particularly valu- able for cases of premature grayness because of iliness or worry, or for women whose hair is turning gray naturally but who wish to put off the process as long as possible. It is a good thing to use even when there i1s no tendency to grayness be- cause, by its stimulation, it will make the hair a richer shade and should put off, for many years, the day when gray hairs will appear. Unfortunately, pilocarpine is some- times hard to obtain. But even with- out it this is a valuable hair tonic for indigestion, colic, | since 1t contatns castor ofl, which | nourishes the scalp, and sulphur which fights dandruff, cantharides which stimulates the growth of hair, and creosol (Lilly) which is an antiseptic. 1 usually advise a hair tonic of some sort even when the hair is healthy, because it acts as a sort of insurance against any illness which might hurt the hair, and against old age and fall- ing hair. Rubbing the scalp with oll the night before you shampoo it may | be the only tonic you need. Massag- | ing the scalp every few days as a | gentle stimulation 15 in itself a tonic. | One very good thing for dark hair is | to rub the scalp occasionally with tar | water, which is nothing more than a | tablespoonful of tar purchased at a | drug_store, poured into a pint bottle | which is filled up with warm water, The tar does not dissolve, but some of it gets into the water and it makes dark hair very soft and pretty.

There are meat substitutes that are made from nuts and whole wheat that can be used in an endless variety of recipes. All fine grocers carry these meat substitutes, as they come packed in cans like the regular nut butters. Potatoes are heavy and starchy. They provide bulk, which may be a good thing for some people, but unless yon are assimilating this kind of food, you cannot get fat on it, and the fer- mentation from it will Keep you thin. —— Prices realized on Swift & Co. wales of carcass beef in Washington for week ending Saturday, July 9, 1921, on shipments eold out. ranged from 10 cents to 16 cents per pound, and_sveraged 1421 cents per pound.—Adver. veme: ~. . ——— treatment, will be answered by Dr. a few can be answered here. No reply Address Dr. Willlam Brady, in care of The Hardships of Vacation. The annual autmun toll of typhold among returning vacationists is con- stantly diminishing as vacationists become more generally enlightened as to the perils of untested drinking water, files in the dining room, and food-handling human “carrlers” of typhoid bacilll. Then, too, a fairly large proportion of vacationists now- adays are immune tc typhoid by rea- son of the prophylactic bacterin (“anti-typhold vaccine”) administer- ed to millions of young men In war time. So far as the drinking of un- tested water is concerned—that is. water not approved for drinking pur- poses by the local health authorities— there are two factors of safety: (1) boll- ing the water five minute (2) dis- solving In each quart a halazone tab- let (a chlorine-compound for steriliz- ing drinking water) or one grain of chioride of lime. A vacationist heading for the wilds or for a camping trip should not fail to include in his equipment a simple first-aid ougfit—but it is not neces- sary to carry a traller or an extra wagon to hold the first-aid outfit. A suitable outfit will be described pres- ently. Trouble with most so-called first-ald kits is they are cluttered up with mere fillers, for the sake of appearance oOr maybe somebody's profit. Tenddrfeet frequently overdo the matter of exposure and suffer with sunburn. It is_well to subject the skin to very brief exposures—not more than five minutes of direct sun- light three times a day the first day —and gradually increase the periods of exposure by flve or ten minutes daily. When going on the water or otherwise exposing the skin for pro- longed periods, keep covered with clothing or coat the exposed skin with cold cream or- zinc oxide ointment and a heavy dusting with talcum powder. This is more comfortable as prevention than effective as cure. But there is nothing better for the relief of sunburn than freshly made cold cream or zinc oxide ointment, sprin- kled over with plgin talcum. No vacationist should permit his or her mind to be troubled by such ob- solete vagaries as the green apple myth or the notion, that cucumbers contain anything injurious or poison- ous or the idea that any animal is more likely to be rabid in the “dog days” or that a bite Is more likely to convey the infection of rabies 1f the weather i8 hot or the animal is known to be of an ugly disposition. ‘What should be done in the case of a bite by an animal. when the ques- tion of rabies arises? If the animal can be identified and confined under the observation of a veterinary for two weeks, of course, at the owner's expense. then the veterinary can give a pretty positive opinion whether the animal is ill. If his opinion is that the animal is not ill, there is abso- lutely nothing to be feared. If he Is not sure, then, and then only, the animal may be killed, the head at once sent packed in sait to the path- ologist designated by the Jocal health authorities, and the pathologist’s ex- amination will determine whether the animal had rabies.

This calls for the white of eggs beaten very light, sweetened to taste with powdered sugar and flavored with the fresh Juice of crushed raspberries. It should be mixed just before serving. . Raspberry Charlotte Russe. Raspberry charlotte russe calls for one quart of fresh raspberries, a dozen lady fingers, one ounce of gelatin. One cupful of powdered sugar, and a pint of thick cream whipped stiff and sweetened to taste. The lady fingers should be split and placed in e tin mold which has been lined with white paper. Now soak the gelatin in a cup of coll water and when soft place over the fire and dissolve. Let the gelatine mixture cool and add to the juice of the quart of raspberries and one cup of pow- dered sugar. Now add the whipped cream and pour the mixture into the mold and place on the ice for two of three hours before serving. Raxpberry Cake. A delicious baked dessert calls for | one pint of red raspberries. Sprinkle with a little powdered sugar and when they have stood for an hour drain off a cup of juice. Now make a batter with two tablespoons butter, one-half cut of granulated sugar, the berry juice, one and one- half cups of flour into which has been sifted one teaspoon of baking pow- der, and the beaten whites of two eggs. Bake in muffin tins and serve with crushed raspberry sauce. Make ,¢the sauce this way from the raspberries left from the juice: Aud| one cupful of water and boil for five minutes. Beat the yolks of two eggs very light and add a scant cup of sugar, strain the boiling juice over| the egg mixture and stir in a double | boiler till the sauce is as thick as cream. of ADVERTISEMENT | | Hands and Arms Made Surprisingly Beautiful| | | With a single application of Derwillo, | Girls, Derwilio pot only besutifies your | complexion, but it ts wonderful for the | hands and arme.
