USEFUL HINTS.
To prevent starch from crusting
over after making it, if left to stand,
acid about tablespoonful of kero-
sonewhen you remove it from the
stove. It will he free from humps,
and smooth.
The best thing to dust furniture
with is a large soft paint brush
which has been dipped in olive oil
and squeezed almost dry, This will
take up every bit of dust without
sending it flying about.
If one cupful.nf vinegar is put
with the water in which colored
table cloths are washed it will pre-
vent the color from running. Iron
when still clamp and they will look
equal to new.
When making baked or boiled
custard the milk it: be used should
be scalded and set aside to cool.
Then make the custard in the orclia-
ary way and it will be perfectly
smooth.
Shoes -To remove mud from foot-
wear take an ordinary clothes pin,
cut one of the prongs off complete-
ly and you will have a device that
cannot be surpassed for that pur-
pose. Try it.
To cure squeaking boots stand the
boots in sufficient I'.iseed ail to just
cover the soles. Leave them soak
ing for twenty-four Lours. If not
successful on the first treatment
give another, which will remove all
sound.
To clean white marble mix. to-
gether two ounces of common wash-
ing vocla, one .ounce of finely pow-
dered chalk, Make into a paste
with cold water and rub well into
the marble, Tho stains will then
disappear.
If you would preserve the ap-
pearance of the wooden utensils in
the kitchen always remember to
wash them directly after they are
used, because if grease and dirt aro
allowed to soak in it may be impos-
sible to remove them.
To make string beans or cabbage
tender in cooking them and also to
shorten the time required for cook-
ing the latter vegetable acid a pinch
of baking soda to the water in whioh
they are boiled. This, used judici-
ously, makes the vegetables es fresh

TO PREVENT COLSUMPTJON
USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT
TUBERCULOSIS.
Published by the Canadian Associa-
tion for Prevention of
Consumption. -
Consumption, with other forms of
tuberculosis, -causes one death in
every eight in this country. Of all
deaths in the Dominion between the
ages of twenty-five and thirty-five
nearly one-half are due to consump-
tion.
The prime cause of consumption
is a microscopic form of vegetation
known as the tubercle bacillus or
germ, which obtains entrance into
the system by the inhalation ef in-
fective dust, or by the use of in-
fected food.
The germ of bacillus is derived
solely from persons or animals suf-
fering from some form of tubercu-
losis. It is contained in the dust
particles of the dried expectora-
tion;
xpectora-tion; in the minute droplets spray-
ed into the air by a consumptive
when coughing or sneezing; and in
the milk and flesh of tuberculous
animals, which are often unwitting-
ly used for food.
The invasicn'of the germ is facili-
tated by a great variety of condi-
tions, such as (1) living in over-
crowded, ill ventilated, dark, dirty
rooms; (2) insufficient or infected
food; (3) alcoholism and other forms
of dissipation; (4) along neglected
cold and various other debilitating
sickness.
PROTECTIVE MEASURES TO BE
TAKEN BY PATIENTS.
In the common interest the best
place for a consumptive is a sana-
torium. If this be impracticable he
should be under constant medical
supervision,
It is essential for the protectiou
of their own families, and to prevent
the spread of the disease among
others, that the following precau-
tions be observed ;-
a. A consumptive must not ex-
pectorate about the house, nor in
the worlc shop or office, nor on the
floor of any cab, or other convey-
ance; nor on the sidewalk; nor in
any place of general resort.
b, He should use a soft Japanese
paper handkerchief or a piece of
-cheesecloth that should be burned.
o. In the sickroom the patient
should use a waterproof paper
spitting -cup, whioh should be
thrown into the fire, and replaced
by a fresh one at least every twen
t -.four
y hours. If a notal or -china..
spitting -cup be used the contents
should be threWn into the fire, and
the eup itself should be boiled for
half an hour,
d. Tho patient should live as
much as possible in the open' air;
'Should wear outer clothing which
may be easily washed ; should not
Tay
or be kissed on the lips; and
when coughing or sneezing should
always hold a handkerchief over his
mouth and avoid coughing in the .di-
rection of another person; and fin-
ally, the patient should wash his
hands before eating, •
e. Consumptives should not swal-
low their phlom sine° by so doing
the disease may be conveyed to
parts of the body not already in -
fated.
P]itDirE'TtVE i1IEASI Irl S roll
THE ICOUSEIIOLIi,
ent should have as much sunlight
and fresh air as ;possible.
2, Well persons should not sleep
in the same' bed with a consumptive
and when possible not in the same
room,
3. The floors of rooms occupied by
consumptives should not be carpet-
ed, but should be painted or cover-
ed with oilcloth,
4. Floors, woodwork and furni-
ture should be wiped daily with a
duster, moistened with a disinfect-
ant. Floors should never be dry
swwept. •
5. All beer -clothing and body lin-
en should be changed and cleaned
frequently.
6. The table ware used by a con-
sumptive -should be kept by itself
and may be sterilized by boiling.
7. A. room whioh has been mem-
pied by a consumptive should not
be usecl again until it has been
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected.
8. In the event of death from
consumption, advice should be
sought from the Board of Health re-
garding the best way to disinfect
the house.
DISINFECTION.
• 1. For washing the face and body
use carbolic soap; the hands and
hair should be frequently cleansed
with a strong alkali soap. Patients
should not wear beards or mo
taches.
2. All washable clothing, l and.
kerchiefs., coverlets, sheets, and pil-
low cases should bo disinfected by
boiling for -half an hour in strong
soap suds, after which they 'should
be thoroughly washed in the usual
way.
3. Bedding, -carpets, -curtains,
wearing apparel and all s'milar ar-
ticles which. cannot bo washed, be-
longing to or used by a iatiente
should be disinfected in an efcienc
steam disinfector; where such is
available.
4. In order to remove or +iesteey
the dried infective discharges, the
disinfectant must'bo applied direct-
ly -to the infected surfaces of the
room, and may be applied by wash-
ing, brushing or spraying.
5. Among other chemical prepara-
tions used for this purpose, a solu-
tion of one part carbolic acid in
twenty of water is a safe and effee-
tive disinfectant.
6. In remote rural districts when
carbolic acid cannot easily be pro-
cured, scalding hot water mixed
with lye from hardwood ashes plen-
tifully applied with a stiff s,•rub-
bing brush will answer every par -
pose.
Note, while, a strong solutim of
lye is desirable care must be talon

THE SUNDAY SCDDUL STUDY
INTERNATIONAL LESSON,
JULY 7.
Lesson L -Malignant unbelief,
Mark 13, 2041. Golden
text, John 3. 19.
Verse 20. The last short sentence
of verso 19 belongs with our lesson
penceassage, as an introductory sen
f
Into a house -Probably the bene
of Simon Peter in Capernaum. The
incident with which our lesson be-
gins follows immediately upon the
return of Jesus with his newly ap-
pointed apostles from the mountain
retreat.
The multitude cometh together
again -It was during the period of
our Lord's greatest popularity in
Galilee. In their eagerness to hear
his words and to see the works
which he performed the multitudes
followed him even into the privacy
of the home in which he alas enter-
tained, crowding about him and his
disciples so that they could not so
much as eat bread.
21. His friends -Probably- his
mother and brothers, mcntieeed
again in verse 31, These apparent-
ly had come from • Nazareth in
search of him and anxious for his
safety.
Lay hold on him -,• So absorbed
was he in his work that it was nec-
essary to touch him And take hum
by the hand to gain his attention.
Beside himself -Actually uncon-
scious of his oven need of rest and
food,
22. The scribes -Really the sophe-
rim, or "men of book learning."
They were the editors and inter-
preters as well as the scribes and
copyists of ancient and current
writings. In the time of Jesus they
were among the recognized teach-
ers of the law, and therefore also
among the recognized religious
leaders of the people.
Came down from Jerusalem -
For the purpose of watching the
public activity of Jesus and seek
ing occasion for public accusation
against his life and teachings.
Beelzebub - Greek, Beelzebul,
Beelzebub is tate .game given to the
god of Ekren (2 Icings 1. 6), end
means probably the god ef flies.
The derivation and meaning of
Beelzebul are both uncertain. From
its use in this passage the name is
supposed to signify the lord of the
underworld, who is at the same
time the prince of demons. (For a
note on demon possession, compare
Introduction to Lesson Text Stud-
ies for March 10.)
23, Called them -Instead of driv-
ing the multitude from him and in-
sisting on an opportunity for rest
and refreslnnent, Jesus invites
them to stay and bids them draw
near unto him.
Parables -The word is here used
in the general sense of an illustra-
tive or analogical statement.
Among the various meanings of the
word are the following: As sy-
nonymous with proverbs (1 Sam. 10,
12; Prov, 1, 1); in the sense of dark
enigmatical utterances Psa. 78, 2;
Prov. 1. 6); for mystical, propheti-
cal intimations (Num. 23. 7, 18); in
the sense of a figurative narrative
(Ezek. 17. 1-10) ; for illustrative
statements or comparisons (Matt.
15. 15; Luke 6. 39); for institutions,
persons, or events of a typical sug-
gestive character (Heb. 9. 9; 11.
19).
Satan -Literally, adversary.
24: If a kingdom be .divided
against itself -The argument be-
ginning with the preceding verse is
eveloped in three particular and
arallel cases -a divided kingdom,
divided house, and a divided ad-
versary (Satan). In email ,case the
result of division is the same, It
eads not to conquest,- hat to dis-
uption. "If Satan were in collu-
ion with Jesus and lent him his
ower, he would be his own destroy-
s,"
27. The strong man -Another
noise parable, emphasizing an-
ther aspect of the incongruityin
to accusation of his enemies. ,Jesus
not only not in league with Sat -
n, but is actually his destroying

SWEEPING NEW LAW.
No Morro Gambling Allowed Any-
where in Spain.
Following upon the objections
raised in the Chamber of Deputies
against gambling in Barcelona, the
Spanish Government has adopted
the most radical measure,s. Gamb-
ling has been prohibited throughout
Spain, even in the most aristocra-
tic clubs. Telegraphic orders to this
effect have been sent to all towns in
Spain. All the clubs amici gambling
saloons have been closed. The San
Sebastian Casino has closed its
doors, and the employes have been
dismissed. The • Government will
study a system of regulation.
Spain is one of the countries
where gaming is most prevalent,
andthus the measure has praduoed
an enormous effect. The great mass
of opinion applauds the Govern-
ment's energy. Tho authorities
have orders to imprison persons
who contravene the legal prohibi-
tion, The impresario of many casi-
nos where roulette was played was
a celebrated Belgian, whom the Bel-
gian tribunals had already convict-
ed several times. Ho has gained a
large fortune from gambling at
Ostend, Monte Carlo, San Sebas-
tian, and Barcelona.

Monarch Wants To Be Like Other
Citizens.
King Mahe, Vajiravudh, of Siam
has just performed a very graceful
actin empowering the ministers of
the interior and local government
to collect. taxes on his lands and
houses throughout the country simi-
lar to those paid by private indivi-
duals. In course of a letter ad-
dressed to the two ministers in
question his majesty says :
"The people in general who own
landed and house property, when
the time arrives for being e
n called
upon by the authorities to do so,
have to pay taxes on the same in
proportion to the extent of each
person's possessions. Apart from
the official side, I eousider myself as
being any ordinary person. The
property which I possess, compara-
tively speaking, may bo said to be
considerable ; and if the government
would like to have 'a, share of the
income !therefrom I shall be both
willing and glad to ,part with the
same as a contribution towards the
maintenance of the state and na-
tion like any other ordinary indi-
vidual.
"Accordingly, henceforth 1 re-
quest yon tolevy taxes on ail land-
ed and house property whioh aro
considered my personal possession
in the sante manner' as they are
levied npon ,those of the publie'in
general."
