Zurich Herald, 1919-11-07, Page 3ME DOMESTIC MESTIC MATTERS ERS Habit. is, the tldeepest law of nature and a single bad. habit •will mar an otherwise faultless character, as a drop of 'black ink. will spoil a pure white page. For the will that yields the first,: time 'with some reluctance does so tho second time with les,'heei- Cation, and the• third time wilt still less, until,finally the habit is adopted and the character is determined. A worrian who lives not far from town, and has her own car, is reaping a profit by cooking such farm products as she has for sale, and delivering them to her patrons, in town at a con- siderably higher figure than she could get for theta uncooked, as persons liv- ing in apartments, or doing light housekeeping, cannot afford fuel to cook articles that require long cooking but are good warmed up. Baked beans, pumpkin pies, apple butter, • marma- lades, hominy, etc., are included in her list; her hens, niede into chicken salad, are profitable, and popular and provide chicken broth, which she •sells in pint jars. She also finds sale for flowers, both wild and cultivated, furnishing them in large ler small quantities, as ordered. Nowadays, when it is so difficult to get help, it is important fo;r the house- keeper to learn how to leave undone the things that. are not necessary for the health and comfort of her family. It requires judgment to do this suc- cessfully, but it must be done if she would save her health. By considering what are the essentials, and then, by experiment, finding the way of doing them which is most economical of time and strength while producing the best results, her work will be lifted above drudgery, and she can find some time for rest and recreation. It is better to have fewer kinds of vegetables, or other foods at each meal, but to make the vaniaty by serving something quite different at the next meal. Much labor in ironing can be saved. When sheets, towels and underclothing are washed clean and dried in the Sun, they are sweeter and fresher if neatly folded than if dampened again and ironed. When merchants 'are cleaning out stock, ready-made clothing can be bought at reduced prices, so that much sewing can be dispensed with. Beating a rug that's been hung across a line very soon takes out the stiffness. If you have some old bed- springs, put them out in thebackyard, lay the rug over them, right side down, and beat well, then turn it over and sweep off the surface dirt. This will clean the rug thoroughly, without whipping out the ends and taking out so much of the stiffness. When a rug curls up and will not stay put, resizing it will overcome the difficulty. Dissolve a half -pound of flake glue, which can be purchased at a drug store, in one gallon of water. Stretch the rug very tightly, right side down, on the floor to which you can tack the rug. Be sure that the rug is, straight. Scrub in the glue until it foams. Apply the sizing with a broom, if the rug is large a small rug can be sized more conveniently with a scrubbing brush. Avoid putting on too much at a time, a small quan- tity, evenly spread, is best. Make a second application if the first does not seem to give it the proper stiffness. Clean carpets en the floor with a solution made thus: Int() a large kettle put one bar of white soap, two ounces of sal soda, four ounces of borax and two quarts of soft water. Boil this for eighteen minutes, then add one gallon of soft water and lastly one- half pint of alcohol. This mixture should form a jelly. Take a little of it at a time and with a good, clean scrubbing brush scrub the carpet on the floor, taking in a square yard or so. When you've scrubbed it thorough- ly, wipe it up quickly with a clean cloth, which is first dipped into clear hot water and then wrung out. Some wild ferns from the woods make a very pretty decoration for the house in winter or the porch .in .sum - mar. Do not keep them drenched with water or allow them to become dried out. When new fronds no longer push up and the old leaves become rusty, set the pot in a shady corner out-of-doors. In winter set in a cool cellar, and in the spring it will put on fresh beauty. Betting the pot in a jardiniere helps to keep the roots cool and damp and greatly improves the appearance of the plant for the house. "Hard Service." That is the motto of Lord Allenby, the hero of the Palestine Campaign. He is known in the Service as "the J3u11," not because of his massive lhysique—he is said to have the big- gest neck in the Army—but on account of the manner in which he changed and drove away incompetent officers. He is a man of original sayings. `:I would rather have a drunken army than a stale one," 9d one of them. Pure-bred stock is harder to buy yard easter to sell thann any other kind.

CORNS LIFT OUT - WITH FIyGE•RS M You simply say to the drug store man, "Give me a quarter of an ounce of freezone." This will cost very little but is sufficient to remove every hard or soft corn from one's feet. A few drops of this new ether com- pound applied directly upon a tender, aching corn should relieve the sore- ness instantly, and soon the entire corn, root and all, dries up and can be lifted out with the fingers. This new way to rid one's feet of corns was introduced by a Cincinnati man, who says that, while freezone is sticky, it dries in a moment, and sim- ply shrivels up the corn without in- flaming or even irritating the sur- rounding tissue or skin. Don't let father die of infection or lockjaw from whittling at his corns, but clip this out and make him try it. A Medal Medley. The Trafalgar medal was struck In pewter for the lower clock.

For Jellabad a very ugly. medal was struck, and ;those who received it grumbled in no measured terms, . really artistic piece was then ,pro,. vided, and all who,possessed the first were requested to' exchange it for the second, Not one per cent. of the re- cipients applied for the better medal! Until the year 1914, the Long 'Ser- vice ribbon for the Army was similar to that for the Victoria Cross. The only difference was in width, the 14 - ter being a fraction of an inch wider. Such was official intelligence. No less than eleven ribbons recog nized by the authorities are entirely blue. After Waterloo, the Chief Engraver of the Mint was commissioned to pre- pare a fitting medal for presentation to the leaders of the victorious armies. He did so, but took thirty years to complete the work. The medal for Culloden was the first to be provided with a ribbon of de- finite pattern. Before then, each wearer suspended his decoration with any sort of ribbon he pleased. 1 The .N •-` west Mo els 9125 9121-9075 9140 No. 9140—Ladies' Redingote Dress. or 36 -inch length.

Taking a census in India always arouses the popular superstitions and dread of unknown evils. After the last census of the Bhils their chiefs insisted on a new Imperial obligation that "in future no Bhi1 woman should ever be weighed," they fearing that the plumpest and heaviest women, the national beauties, were being checked off for appropriation by the census takers.

That neat production can be devel- oped in the arctic and subarctic re- gions of Canada is believed by the Government, which is investigating reindeer with a view to introducing thole into the far northern regions of that coutltry. The reindeer lives principally on the moss, which covers thousen-cls of nailer of country in Canada, Alaska, and Siberia, and is a domesticated animal. it is not generally known that the reindeer is net a native of Alaska, but was introduced there in 1891 by Sheldian Jackson, then general agent of education in Alaska. He discovered that the natural food supply of the Eskimo was fast disap- pearing with the' iuculning of the white hunters, and that unless some- thing was done the Government either would have to feed '20,000 ,natives or else let them starve. The solution was the reindeer which he introduced in 1891, and later an appropriation was received from the Government for carrying on this work, liCinard'a Diniment Cures Distemper. Zinc Hint.
