Dear Sisters of the Corner: Here I am once again, after having a vaca- ;lon; sending in a few hints for the ousewife, Every home should have a family medicine closet containing simple rem- edies for the common ills of life. -One with two or three shelves can be bought, or a good one can be made at home from a hinged cracker box. Select a good ome, add shelves and paint the inside white. Cover the shelves with oflcloth. Be sure to have a lock. In the closet have a special place for everything, so at a moment’s warning the wrong medicine will not be_selzed. There should be a covered jar of rolled bandages, of different lengths, a jar of carbolated gauze, plasters of all kinds, a pair of hop bags, and a pair of salt bags. For earache, use the hop bags. Do not put anything in the ear but a little warm water. After it remains a few minutes turn the head so it can run out. Then put in a little plece of ab- 'sorbent cotton and apply a heated hop bag, keeping a hot one over the ear until the is relieved. For toothache, put a few drops of chioroform mixed with oil of cloves on a bit of cotton and tuck it in the cav- ity. Heat a salt bag and apply to the face. Be sure and keep the patient warm. For foreign bodies in the eye, grasp the eyelashes of the upper lid and pull the lid down over the lower one, then have the patient look up and then down with the 1id held in this position. ‘This working of the eyeball will bring the substance out on the eyelashes, where it can be seen, and carefully wiped away. For inflammation of the eye, draw the lids apart and the en- larged veins will be easily seen. Bathe the eves with a mixture of extract of witch hazel and water, or elght drops causing the eyes to smart. Drop some of the mixture into the eye with a dropper, a camel’s hair brush or & feather.

They were a great pleasure while I was confined to my bed.

I don’ think any one should expect pay for doing I am glad that so many think the I do, too, and hope Merry Andrew will get over her difficulty with the man at the fair and resume her place in Cabbage Salad: Two raw eggs, well beaten, one-half teaspoon salt, six ta- blespoons cream or milk, six table- spoons vinegar (scant).

How to Open Door “Lock——Take a buttonhook or nail or piece of wire, to open lock if a key is not at hand. PAULA. A PASTE RECIPE FOR FLOWER LOVER. Dear Sisters:—I notice Flower Lover wants a paste recipe. It is| quite expensive to buy. Keep it in a quart mason jar and it keeps for vears. Paste—One ounce best gum trag- asanth. Place in a wide-mouthed jar that holds a quart, pour over it one one-half pints water. Cover and let stand until next day, the gum will then be swollen nearly to top of jar. Stir it down to the bottom with a stick, and add a few drops of oil of wintergreen or any perfume. Stir several times that day, but afterwards do not stir at all, leaving it to form a smooth white moss like jelly. Cover closely and put away for use. Some time ago one of the sisters asked for a raised cake recipe. I will send one for mock raieed cake that is much easier to make and tastes as good. Mock Raised Cake—One cup milk, 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 of lard, put on stove and let boil up together; then let cool; 1 cup sugar, 2 teaspoons bak- ing powder, salt and nutmeg, 2 1-2 cups flour, 1 cup raisine.
