For hoarsne: an egez, mix with lemon and Take a teaspoonful often. Gaftgle a bad sore throat with strong solution of iemon juice water. Lemon Juice mixed very thick with susa a and sugar will relieve a tickling cough that is so annoying. Lemon Extract—Grate the rind of three lemons in half a pint of alcohol, let stand for three weeks, drain off the fluid, bottle and cork, and you have finer Extract than that which ¥ou buy at the stores. A strong unsweetened lemonade taken before breakfast will prevent a billious attack A hot lemonade before going to bed, will cure a cold on the lungs. A slice of 'emon added to a glass of tea makes Russian Tea. Garnish fish, oyster or crab dishes, iads with slices of lemons, Leron juice and Salt will remove iron rust. Wash Fruit-stained Hands in lemon juice to take off the stains. A cloth saturated in lemon juice, and bound about a cut, or wound, will stop it bleeding. Lemon juice added to fruit juices, that do "not jell readily, such a: cherry, strawberry etc., will cause them o Jell. Lemon juice is much nicer for sal ads than vinegar.

AN ABNORMALITY By Barbara Dodge | Mz, Denison, the scienct teacher in | our school, announced that Dr. Aiken asked him to bring one of his classes | down to the office on Wednesday | evening to see how X-ray work was | done. _Jo was delighted. She real- i1y is interested in such things, ‘and she wanted me to go too. I don't take to physics, but I thought I'gglike to see that, and Mr. | Denison T might go with them. It was rather iate when Jo called for me and we had to hurry. i ‘Have you ever seen an X-ray, | Bab?" she asked. | “No” I answejed. “But I've heard { your Cousin Carl tell about them, |and how they just show your bones, | unless there's a mineral substance like & bullet or needle somewhere inside you! “Yes and they show if one of your bones is deformed, or out of place. | They're wonderful. They show up any | abnormalty in your skeleton. Carl says. 1 wonder if I have on “I shouldn't be surprised, “I retort- ed. I always thought you had a screw loose somewhere, Jo-Jo. Maybe Its a hone.” | _When we reached the doctor’s office | Jo sighed. “Oh, dear.” She was in in a great hurry to see it. “Why can't we all go in at once| !and have it over” she whispered. “T can't hang around here quite all| night.” | She was very impationt, but she| didn’t have to wait long. Strange to say. she didn’t want to be the first one to try it. Jessie Browning was too babyish, but one of the other girls boldly held he rhand where Dr. Alken told her. “It won't hurt you,” he said, same as he used to when we were five vears | old. | They tried having us hold a watch | and a penny, and we put rings on our fingers, to show how distinctly dif- ferent metals look from our bones. Ana Polly Wells’s little finger showed more crooked than you would even noiice to look at her hand. Jo's turn came last. hall 1 keep on my glove?’ asked indifferent { | she | “If you like, “Dr. Aiken answered. “We can see right through #t, you| know.” “I think T may have a slight ab-| | normality,” Jo remarked. “My left| hand is rather stift.” i “If there is we will find it,” he as-| sured her.

Mr. Denison dldn’'t pay much atfention, but the| doctor was really puzzled and inter-| ested. “Does it trouble you?" he asked. “Just a little stiff sometimes, but! I can use my fingers all right” ! After he got through Jo asked if he | couldn’t show us our ribs and how they curve from the spine. “Certainly, if you want to walt till| I can fix a larger screen,” Dr. Afken | replied.

Soon Dr. Aiken said he was ready. “You will havé to take off your coat for this,” he said. la doctor to take too much on Natalie helped her slip it off. A silk scarf lay around her neck and shoulders. Dr. Aiken adjusted the in- strument and soon the image appear- ed on the screen. There was her spine, with ribs com- ing round in pairs from each side. There were glimpses of her shoulder blades at the back and the collar bone in front. But there was something queer about Jo-Jo's collar bones; they came around just like the picture, but beside the rieht clavicle was another bone that slanted down towards the upper rib. This is certalnly an abnormality,” remarked the doctor. “I don't know that I ever saw such a case before.” “What is the little dark spot there?” asked Natalie. “Probably a pin,” spoke up Mz, Den- ison, who was scowling at Jo. “Yes, there's a pin on my dress,” Jo answered. “But this 1s bone,” “It is very curious.” sald the dector. His eves begax to twinkle. ‘“Does it give trouble?” “It pains me and is sore,” replied | Jo, patiently. “Most likely a chicken or turkey bone,” remaried Mr. Denison. “Am I a chicken or a turkey?’ Jo was perfectly serious. “Isn’t that a real bone?” “Yes, but it's one you've hidden un- der your dress, a chicken or a turkey neither,” declared Jo, choking. He suddenly turned on the light and there she stood, trying not to laugh. The doctor began to roar. “But it's real bome, I say,” Jo de- clared. “It looks to me like a human| clavicle, the doctor said. onsense,” replied Mr. Denison “No mortal girl would go around wearing an extra human bone.” “Well, it is a real bone.” Thrusting her hand into her low necked blouse, Jo gave a mighty pull, and drew out a long, narrow bon covered with fragments of white pa- is,” she said. isn't it a real clavicl “It certainly is,’ answered the doc- ow tor. “But why do you wear it? “Because I knew how X-ravs work and I thought it would be so nice to have my skeleton different from the rest.

In four or six days you will see the works clean as new and the cotton black with parti- cles of dirt which have been loosened by_the kerosene fume: To clean flour sacks, put a table- spoon of kerosene into two quarts of s0ap suds and boil up your new flour sacks in the same and they will be left white, with all the colored letter- | ing gone. Put a lump of sugar in the teapot and it will prevent tea staining any damask, however fine, over which it may be spilled. To prevent the smoking of a lamp, soak the wick In strong vinegar and dry well before using.

Here are a few of g meat for our table Dear Cornerit my ways of cul use. When the hogs are killed, let them thoroughly cool through, then cut up and begin to salt. Rub the outsides of each ham with a teaspoon of powdered saltpetre and the inside with a teaspoon of cayenne pepper, having mixed together two pounds of brown sugar and salt; mix n the proportion of one pound and a half of sugar to a pint of salt, and rub the pork well with it. This quantity of sugar and salt will' be sufficient for fifty pounds of meat (of if one wishes their meat to be move salty use more at_the above rate). Have ready some large tubs, the bot- tom sprinkled with salt and lay the meat in with the skin downward, Put plenty of salt between each layer of meat. After it has lain eight days, take it out and wipe off the salt and wash- the tubs. Make a pickle of soft water, equal ntities of sait and molasses and @ little salt peter, allowing five ounces of sakpetre to two quarts of molasses and two quarts of sait, which is the proportion for fifty pounds of meat. The pickle must be strong enough to hold up an egg. Boil and skim it and when stone cold pour it over the meat, which must be turned frequently and basted with the pickle. The Mame should remain in the pickle four weeks. The weeks. They should then be taken out and smoked. Having washed off the pickle before you smoke the meat, bury it while wet, in a tub of bran. This will form a crust over it and prevent evaporation of the juices. E Let the smoke louse be ready to receive the meat immediately, when vou take it out of the tub. After it has lain half an_hour rub the bran evenly over it w hang it up to smoke with the smail end downward. This is for bacon and hams. I have another recipe to salt pork hams. Make a brine of four gallons of water, seven pounds of cparse fine salt, twa pounds of brown sugar; boil bacon three | it and keep it skimmed, to remove any | sediment that may arise from the salt: when cold pour it over vour hams. after packing them well in a barrel. When packed pour a quarter pound of saltpetre afttf dissolving in a lit- tle water over all. This quantity is for one hundred pounds of meat. Pork hams must lay in this six weeks and beef of any kind may lay (Continued on Page teen) The True Source of Beauty is, and must be, good healtn.
