Insects that have crawled into the baby's ear may be suffocated by drop- ping sweet oil or castor oil into the ear, which after twenty minutes should be washed out by gentle syring- ing with warm water from a fountain syringe, hung one foot above the 'child's head. Peas, beans shoe buttons or beads are sometimes put into the ear and nose by adventurous or experiment- ing children. Now the shoe button or bead will not swell as does the pea or bean, and may often be safely washed out, but if it is causing pain and will not drop out of the ear, or will not be easily blown out, in case of the nose, see our physician at once. He has in his possessions just the necessary instruments for its ini- mediate removal. To Treat Nosebleed. If the nose bleeds whenever it is cleansed, more than aikely there is an ulcer on the septum which will con- tinue to bleed if left untreated. The physician should heal the ulcer, and the child should be taught always to vaseline the nostril before cleansing it. In case of persistent nosebleed, put the child to bed with the head ele- vated. Pressure should be put on the blood vessels going to the nose by placing two fingers firmly on the out- er angles of the nose on the upper lip, While a helper may put firm pressure at the foot of the nose at the inner angle of each eye. An ice bag may be placed at the back of the neck and another piece of ice held on the forehead at the root of the nose. As the bleeding begins to stop, as well as during the bleeding, all blowing of the nose is forbidden, as it will only cause the bleeding to start afresh. It sometimes helps to hold a piece of ice in the hands. Caring for Burns. Burns and scalds are not at all un- common with children whose eager- ness to explore and desire to inves- tigate often leads them into trouble. 1. The simple reddening of the skin—slight burns and sunburn—sim- ply needs protecting paraffin and is to be covered with sterile gauze. 2. Burns which destroy the outer layer of the skin, producing a blister, are treated much as a wound would be treated. The blister if Iarger than a half -dollar should be opened near the edge with a needle which has been passed through a flame. The serum should be pressed out and the parts disinfected with an antiseptic solution and then some sort of paraffin pre- paration, such as those largely used in the base hospitals in the European war zone, may be applied with absorb- ent cotton. This protects the newly formed tissue cells and prevents de- struction by sticking dressings, which often happened in the old method of treating burns. 3, When the tissues are injured in the more severe burns the surround- ing flesh is carefully disinfected with Dakin's solution, and the same dress- ing applied as described for the "blist- er burns." Barns may become seriously infect- ed. In that case they require the care of the skilled physician. If a child's clothes catch on fire he is instantly to be thrown on the floor and any heavy woolen fabric, such as - a curtain, table spread, blanket or rug, is to be thrown over him (be- ginning at the neck) and the flames thus smothered. The clothing is now cut off, and if more than one-third of the body is burned the child should be taken to the hospital for constant care. Great care should be taken in keeping the unburned portion of the body warm, as there is a great tendency for the child to become very cold as he weakens from both the nervous shock and from the absorption of toxins. Timber for Shipbuilding. Every local freight. train on the N.T.R. is cerrying eastin earload lots spars and other special timbers need- ed in the construction of wooden ships, an industry which is experiencing a great revival at various points in the Maritime Provinces, says the Times of Moncton, N.B. Some of the shipments c.onsiet of heavy timbers to be used for masts and spars of wooden yes- sels. There is also considerable ship- ment of planking and wooden ribs for the vessels. The roost curious part of the shipments, however, ere the wooden "knees" 'which are really the crooked roots of trees, sawed into sizes suitable to shiubuilding pur- poees,. These "knees" can be made from ordinary timber, " hitt builders prefer the natural bend of the roots, which aro very fibrous and tong h. Quite an important part of present day luinbcring operations is the dig- ging „ lilt out of cunt ere , x andociced , p roots suitable for this pure ewe. pall knees are used for }trrt,i n,.,g t stem d'ad stern poste and similar parte ex osed toheavy strains. Why Preserves Spoil. Some of the causes of failure in home canning are: First, not sterilizing the jars, lids and rubbers. To sterilize, the jar and the lids must be placed in a larg boiler or cooking utensil, covered with cold water and brought to bail; boil ed three minutes and then the jars ar ing, and crackers and cheese or pea nut butter sandwiches. Meat stew (inexpensive cuts. ar left- overs), with turnips or other vege s tables, including leftovers, and with e rice in the stew or flour or cornmea dumplings; or, fish chowder, mad from fresh, canned or dried fish e crackers, skim milk and onion, served e lifted out, drained and the vegetable or fruit is packed. Then the jar is filled with boiling water for the vege- tables or a syrup for the fruit. The rubber and lid are placed in position and partially tightened; then proceed according t. directions, Jar rubber are sterilized by placing them in a saucepan and pouring boiling water over them, then letting the rubber stand in this water for five minutes the rubbers will have also the ad vantage of being soft enough to slip over the top of the jars easily. Second, the lids of the jars used in canning and preserving are very im- portant. Old and worn lids are use- less, as are those that have their edges forced out of shape when trying to open a sealed jar. Lids that have porcelain lining with cracks or that are loose are useless and might just as well be thrown away before they cause the contents of the jar to spoil. An- other point to be remembered is that when an acid like vinegar is used in spicing and pickling -this acid is liable to work between the porcelan cap and its metal holder and set up a decom- position that may prove very danger- ous. with bread and butter and fresh or stewed fruit. Boiled dinner (earned beef or corn- ed mutton, cooked with fresh vegeta- bles, as potatoes, turnips, carrots, etc.), served with bread and butter s and apple .or, other fruit and bread crumb pudding. Cowpeas boiled with pork and com- bined with boiled rice, served with a green vegetable or vegetable salad, and honey, brown sugar, maple sugar or date sandwiches. Beans baked with pork or bacon, served with Boston brown bread and butter, and tart apple sauce and cook- ies. s Cheap Cuts of Beef. The cheaper cuts of meat are un- questionably as nutritious as the more expensive outs, only they require slower cooking with moisture. The neck daces of beef furnish stews. Hamburger steak (snialI steaks) and roasts of good flavor aro obtained from the chuck ,ribs. A portion from the back of the forequarter is chosen for a pot -roast. This will include some of the vertebrae, which can go to the soup kettle. • The cut from the underside of the neck, often called the sticking piece, can be used for brais- ing or can be cooked in hot water, sea- soned highly and served with tomato sauce. Then there is a peice for corn- ing which joins the sticking piece and contains the thin flat ends of the chuck and prune ribs` The hindquarters contain the -rest known and most expensive cuts. The round is divided into three cuts, the upper being the most expensive. The loin is good for braising or casserole use. The first three slices on the vein or muscle on the front part of the leg make a very good steak, or the whole makes an economical roast. Meat should be roasted, skewered or tied in compact form, and should rest skin side down on a rack in a dripping pan. Dredge with flour and sear over the outside in a hot oven. After this add salt and pepper and dripping from it, Cook ata low temperature and baste frequently. Ribs may be roast- ed just as they are or boned and rolled. Only the first five ribs of the forequarter are suitable for this pur- pose. To roast a cheap cut of meat, rub salt well into the meat, place in a crock, cover, place over a slow fire. When taken out it will be brown and more tender than if roasted in an oven; also, it will have a nice gravy when thickened. Do not put any wa- ter on the meat. Meat cooked this way is exceedingly tender and palat- able. Nutritious Combinations. Numerous palatable combinations ofaj two or more food materials which can be prepared by the housewife with but little trouble are suggested by food specialists. The following the some of the sug- gestions: Boiled rice scrambled with eggs, served with a succulent vegetable, such as stewed tomatoes, canned corn, green peas or bean, and bread and butter, and nuts and raisins or other dried fruits. Green peas and canned salmon with white (thickened milk) sauce, served with corn bread and syrup, Meat pie -(meat from inexpensive cuts), or fish pie with flour or potato crust, served with turnips, carrots, onion or parsnips, and biscuits and butter, with jail or jelly, or hot choc- olate. Mashed potato, with creamed cod- fish (cream sauce, containing a little salt codfiiih), served with lettuce, with oil and vinegar or ,omen juice td.css- A _.re : Remedy R. :Il1Vi117'ftStlx7'S Herb Treat- ! 1,-..` ld. , Meet, in t ablet form,will ou ro ✓ c[m ism• 0,nr i atte], eczema O O01l trouble.

Keep the flies away from the :sick, especially those ill with contagious diseases. Kill every fly that strays into the house. His body is covered with disease germs. Do not allow decaying material of any sort to accumulate on or near your premises. All refuse which tends in any way to fermentation, such as bedding - straw, paper -waste and vegetable mat- ter, should be disposed of or covered with lime or kerosene oil. Screen all food. Keep all receptacles for gar- , bage carefully covered and the cans cleaned or sprinkled with oil or lime. i Keep all stable manure in vault or pit, screened or sprinkled with lime, oil or other cheap preparation. See that your sewerage system is in good order; that it does not leak, is up -to- , date and not exposed to flies. Pour kerosene into the drains. Cover food after a meal; burn or bury all table refuse. Screen all food exposed for sale. Screen all windows and doors, especially the kitchen and dining - room, Don't forget, if you see flies, , their breeding place is in near -by filth. It may be behind the door, under the table or in the 'cuspidor. If there is no dirt and filth there will be few flies; HARBORING A TRAM.'. Not the Tramp's Fault That Experi- ment Was Never Again Made. "So Charlie puts you off when you ask him to do odd jobs around the house?" said Mrs. Dill to her daugh- ter-in-law. "Well, I'm not surprised. He gets that straight from his father. Why don't you tell him that, if he doesn't do better, you'll be harboring a tramp some day, just the same as his mother did once? He'll know what you mean. "I was all our of patience that morning," Mother Dill continued. "There were things in the garden and about the house to be done, and I beg- ged Pa to give me a few hours. But he had so many irons in the fire that he simply couldn't stop to potter at home. "He had scarcely got out of sight . when a tramp appeared at the door. He had the usual story—out of money and out of work; and could I give hhn something to eat. "'Well,' says I, 'there's one thing I am not out of, and that is work. I can give you some of that first, and after; wards a breakfast!' "I expected him to mutter some- thing and march off. But he didn't. He said, 'All right, nium!' And when . I came to get a second look at him, I thought he had a much better face than most of his kind. So I trusted him for his breakfast, and after he had eaten a good meal—and he had -a' hearty appetite, I can tell you we went at the garden. "I don't know wizen I had so enjoy ed myself. The man knew how to take orders, and he was real sociable, too, and told me the story of his life, t not sparing himself in the least. He said that he was brought up well, and that he was tired of the life he had been leading and wanted to go back to his home. "It was noon before 1 knew it, and of course I wouldn't send him off with- out his dinner. Then while I was talk- - ing with him at dinner I found that ho was handy with tools; so I had him make over, the grapevine trellis and mend the back steps and putty up some of the windows and putup,sonia helves in one of the closets, "Along tweed night he said 1.e guessed ho Would have to be movii;p'; ',Se 1 put hire urs a lunch and poi 1 him x fifty cent', and_, told think of me es n friend. - '�' t.r • , I..e hadn't tett:rh inr.l•;1 l:h°l.]1'i 'ot out ,i that }•erel :sen 1'a 'lroev in, 1 i couldn't 't. dnt wt' . or lilt n to 1 1.ttt. „ before showing him how much man could accomplish when he was willing to listen to reason, Pa sniffed a little, but he couldn't find a word of fault to say until i took him up to the clothes closet to see the new shelves. Then he made a dive for the pocket of a vest of his that bung there and roared out: 'Did you leave that fellow here alone?' "'Only for a minute,' says I, kind of scared. "'That's what comes of harboring a tramp,' gays Pa. 'My wallet is gone, and your day's work has cost me about forty dollars: "My heart was right in my mouth, but I kept a stiff upper lip. 'Well,' says 1, 'perhaps if you'd spend a little time fixing things up in the beginning it would save you money in the end.' "He made no answer, but said he'd start right on after the fellow, and maybe catch him and jail him. Among Pa's irons in the fire was being deputy sheriff. I went along to identify. The man hadn't much of a start, and we soon caught him hurrying along through a piece of woods. "'Hi,. there!' Pa yelled., and the tramp stopped right in his tracks, waiting for us to come up. As Pa. jumped out of the wagon he clapped his hand into his inside pocket, and the look on his face fairly scared me. Then he walked right up to the poor fellow and laid his hand on his shoul- der. "'You the chap that worked for my wife to -day?' says Pa. "Yes, sir,' says the tramp, taking off his cap to me as polite as you please. "'Paid you fifty cents, did she?' says Pa. "'Yes, sir,' says lie. "'Well,' says Pa, 'that was a ridi- culous price. for what you did; here's a two -dollar bill. And see. here,' says Pa, 'if you are in earnest about want- ing to work, come back to my house in the morning and I'll try to find you a job.' "Then after a few more words, he got into the wagon and we turned round. "'Why didn't you arrest' that man for stealing?' says I when we were out of earshot. "'Well,' says he, 'I know a thief when I see him, and he isn't one! "But I wasn't going to be put off by any such palaver as that. "'Where did you get that two dol- lars you paid him?' says 1. 'Out of the wallet that you missed?' "Then Pa owned up, although he hated to. Ile had felt that wallet in his vest pocket just as he jumped out y'irig it all day, supposing he had left it at home. "Well, the man—Duggan, his name was—did come round the next morn- ing, and got his job. He kept at it, steady as a mill, too, until he had sav- ed up money enough to go back home. So my harboring a tramp turned out pretty well that time, although I never have tried it since. For one thing, I have never seen another tramp that resembled Duggan; and then, Pa is a grain better than he used to be about jobbing round home." The weather which has prevailed over the whole of Europe for several months has been almost everywhere unfavorable for the crops, and many farmers have been prevented by the adverse conditions from making pro- gress with their plowing and spring sowing. HOW TO LEARN TO SWIM, Now that the bathing season is near every boy and girl in the eity has an ambition to learn to swim. The following hints from an acquatic expert may be found useful. Two summers ago, Vera Stedman, the well-known actress, couldn't swim a stroke, now she is one of the nl,ost wonderful girl divers and swim- mers in the United States. She has attracted attention from athletes all over the country. Miss Stedman has an easy explan- ation for her extraordinary rapid progress. "Most girls—and men, too—make the big mistake of learning to 'swim with the breast stroke. I can't im- agine why such a stroke is ever taught for any reason, It crooks back your neck like a horse with a tight cheek -rein; you can't make any progress; when you bring up your legs to kick, you lose all the impetus you gained. There is only one real stroke worth while in swimming—that is the Amer- ican crawl. Years ago this used to be regarded only as a stroke for finished swimmers and even then only to be used for short distance swimming; but • athletes have now learned that it is a' good long distance and any purpose stroke. It is the first stroke I learned. "The way I began was down at the beach. I used to see the boys swim- ming around and they were all swim- ming the crawl stroke. I didn't know any other way, so I learned. from watching them. The first stroke I ever took in the water was with the crawl I and I was a good swimmer before I ever learned any other way. Of ! course, I can swim dozens of strokes! now, but I learned them all after the ! stroke that is popularly supposed to' be the post graduate course in swim- ming. "The funny part is that the crawl is the most natural and the simplest' method. "You must naturally reach out and claw the water in toward you the way animals swim. The only thing that is a little puzzling at first is the man- agement of your feet. You don't kick as with other strokes. You just keep your legs straight out and wob- ble your feet up and down a little— straight up and down In the water. Your feet probably help you a little //'; 9rNe 114 111.1$ „e :f% Jellies have higfood value Make .as many as you Call. They will be worth a grt>at deal to you next winter.
