Useful Hints. Biscuits should always be started in a very hot oven. White silk blouses will not turn el- yel- low if washed in cold water. Never hurry your bread -making. If you do, the bread is apt to be sour. When frying fish, the fat should be boiling hot before the fish are put in. Cream cheese and dates make good filling for a brown -bread sandwich. Cabbage leaves contain a great deal of gluten, therefore they are very nourishing. Strawberry ice cream: will be more attractive with a ripe red strawberry sitting on the top of each serving. .Remember that a box of elastic bands of assorted sizes is a great con- venience in the kitchen. To make a good meringue, allow two tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar to the white of one egg. To keep moths out of the piano, rub the woodwork inside of the case fre- quently with turpentine. Delicious extract of either orange or lemon can be made by paring the rinds off as thin as paper and putting them into a bottle of alcohol.

One of the surest signs that the blood is out of order is the pimples, unsightly eruptions and eczema that come. frequently with the change from;aa1 .spring. These provi t .the long" indoor life of winter has had its effect upon the blood, and that a tonic medicine is needed to put it right. Indeed, there are few people who do not need a tonic at this sea- son. Bad blood does not merely show itself in disfiguring eruptions. To this same condition is due attacks of rheu- rnataism and lumbago; the sharp stab- bing pains of sciatica and neuralgia; I poor .appetite and a desire to avoid exertion. You cannot cure these trou- I bles by the use of purgative medicines' —you need a tonic, and a tonic only,; and; among all medicines there is none can equal Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for their tonic, life-giving, nerve-restor- ing erve-restos ing powers.
