Many of the m miliar fruits and vegetables have distinct medical val- es. The proper attention to the things ve eat, then, will make them serve both the purposes of food and medi- cine, and will enable us to save some of the money spent on I doctor bills. The foliowing are some articies of diet which are known to have me- dicinal qualities: Appies, carrots and Brazil nuts are excellent for suffes from constipation. Asparagus stimulates the kidners. Bananas are very beneficial to suf- ferers from chest complaints. Beets are faitening and good for people who want to put on flesh.

MAKES PRETTY RAG RUGS, Dear FEditor and Social Corner Sis- ters: At this time of year most the sisters are busy catching up with their sewing. for it will soon be time for spring housecleaning. I will tell you a way for using up some of the old cast-off garments which have accumulated ] past year. As rag rugs seem to be in favor I will send in two ways of making them. Very artistic ones may be made with a little care in ecloring the rags and arranging the colors when woven. While the rag rug made of hit-and- mass Dright colors is neither pretty nor artistic, the rags sewed and then dyed in any preferred color for the body of ‘the rug and woven with a shaded border: the result will be much more satisfactory. Hit and Miss dved in green. blue, or brown will give a pretty mottled center, which may be finished at each edies and | stitute for cod | | resulated of | end with shaded stripes of a lighter or-a darker shade. < ; ‘White rugs flecked with biue are very preétty for the bath or bedroom and these can be easily washed and kept clean, % If light rugs are desired white warp should be used, otherwise the warp should be the shade of the rags. The ‘braided rugs should 'mot 'be overlooked as they are admired by many and can be braided in so many different strands from the smalil three strand up to seven and even farther, if you should so choose. I like the four, five and seven best. Here is one gdirection for the four strand. which makes a very pretty rug: Use oniy two colors, two black (old stockings are fine) with :Lhu other two strands of some other color. To sew cut braids any lensth desired and sew with a strong thread to within two inches of each end, leav- ing this for a fringe. When sewed to- gether each color forms a stripe. To | malte the stripes Tun one way always begin braiding by putting the first strand over: {o make the stripes run in the opposite direction, begin braid ing by putting the first strand under. If lacking enough of any two colors use different colors in braids for the outer rows; or if obliged to use Hit and Miss sew all light rags togetifr and all dark together, then use two strands of each; and as you work you will be able to plan many ways Hoping I have made this plain for those who have never braided any rues, and if they try these directions | hope they will have good luck. ‘Would like to chat with you all, but will close by sending all best wishes. c B S Scotland. | GREETINGS FROM A SCHOOL GIRL it has | been quite a_long time since I have | written, but I have read and enjoved Dear Social Corner Sisters: all_of the letters, Country Maid: I ‘think the Corner 7§ the one Mar Social cou wish for, is it not? that send in the different wavs to roast onions.
