MANY USES FOR. SODA.
Common soda is a great help for
many ills. If feverish, nothing will
cool one so well as a tepid bath into
which has beean thrown a small quan-
tity of soda. A half 'teaspoon to a
quart of water will be plenty. People

soda and water bath a pleasing sub-
stitute. Fora headache nothing can
be more refreshing than. a cool cloth
on the forehead, wrung out of water
in which a small bit of soda has been
stirred, For washing the baby's bot-
tles or any bottles, in fact nothing
elecels •soda. and water. Use small shot
and be generous with the soda and
the bottles will sparkle. In cases of
poisoning, bathe the parts afflicted
with a solution of soda and water,ha1

the address ;—
Mrs. Wickwire;
Dear Friend; ----
Recognizing the fact that you ars
soon to remove from us and as you
have been a most valued member
of our society, we your co-workers,
feel that we cannot allow you to de-
part without some words of appreci-
ation of the happy days we have
spent together.
These days return never, more
gladly shall we cherish the bright-
ness they brought us. One by one
valued members leave us only to live
some otherwhere the life of beau-
tiful consecration and ever increas-
ing
ncreasing usefulness. Some day, . some-
where the recompense will be made,
if not in the shadowy days of earth
then in the brightness of heaven's
morning.
We are sure God does not forget
the toil of His daughters and some-
time He will recornnense their labor
and grant unto them a full reward
from the Lord God of Israel under
whose wings they conte to trust.
We unite in our hope that you.
and your husband andsister may
have continually the gracious bene-
diction of God thru all the years.
