About the liause
• Try An Onion! • ,
Although apples have their 'virtues,
the saying "An app* a day keege the
doctor away" shoulel be revised to "An
onion a day keeps the doctor away,"
One 'humble onion is worth fifty ap-
ples from the medicinal, disetise-pre-
venting point of view.
It lento t seems as if the onion was
specia'll'y created for the definite'pur-
po'se of keeping men and women
healthy, free from disease, and prac-
tically immune from infection.
An onion --tor preference eaten raw
—will,. in its passage through the
body, destroy every poisonous gent
and purify the blood. A slieed anion
placed in an open dish in a sick -room
will gather to itself the microbes and
germs in the nir quite as well as any
expensive disinfe'atant will do. , But
the onion must afterwards be thrown
away, never eaten.
Those who imbciide onions in their
regular diet never suffer from neur-
aigia,'headaelte, er ]cindxecl troubles,
When influenza is about nota doctor
in the land could prescribe a better
preventive than the humble anion. The
juice of an appleis: good for the testi,
but Cha juice of an onion is a hundred
tines better;
The freedom from disease and long-
evity of the Breton onion-growers"is
well-known, and the smooth and eilky
complexion of the women has been
often remarked;" For a fact, for a
clear skin and beautiful complexion
nothing can beat onions.
Yes,' they make the •breath odorous,
but only until your systenm has beceme
accustomed to them.
An onion poultice on a 'bruise wide
quickly take away all discoloration, A
painful strain or sprain is also eased
by an onion poultice. Finaiily, onion
nice is excellent for a wasp sting, and •
for raising hair on bald head's!
Making Pin Money at Home.
Many farm women have large, old-
fashioned houses with more room than
they need. I, for one, arm so situated, s
and last summer turned this extra
j
so much work to do, both in the 'house
and field, that I :have very little spare
time. There is no work at all in. this
"sidle line," as •guy puppies have the
elm of ti'ue.ferm and, are timidly sold
before they ere three months old. I
feed them etale Mead., boiled potatoes,
skim -milk and all the table rserape. In
return they give me et fair profit to
help file the family purse,—it.
I believe I have found .a very effi-
cient way for making pin money.
With the little esl'ip-over sweaters' so
much in vogue, I bought some yarn
and crocheted them. T.00uid buy the
yarn for about two dollar's and could
sell them readily for four delears.
Later I found that people wanted col-
lars and cuffs for them so'I made them
some pretty ones of linen, organdy.
and leather and sold them generally
with the sweaters. The crocheted
sweaters matte up very quickly, and
thus the more gain for me.—B. T.
I live on a farm and wowing like to
tell :ethers how I make my pin money.
Daring the winter time I make cottage
cheese and sell it to our near towvtm
grocery and meat =Aces, Besides I
have a•It ,the eusbomers I can :furnish
directly from my home. I charge ten
cents per pound and make a supply
once a week.—Il, B. W.
I raise about one-fourth of an acre
of flowers and sell the cut flowers. In
the sprinig I raise a- good many aster,
pansy and salvia plants to sell, and
get my seed from a seed company. In
the fall I save my own seed and sell
'some, to friends, and thus,it is neces-
sary to buy seed only every other
year. ` I sold about fce•ty dolears worth
of flowers lest sunimter and had ale I
could 'use for myself and friends. I
took some flowers to the fair andgat
a number of preniiures on them.—
