Valuable Facts
All Should Know
Breathing.
Breathe through the nose, as this
method will warm and moisten and
purify the air. Breathing through the
mouth will not. Colds, so called, are
contracted by mouth breathing.
Food For Fat People.
Don't take fat reducing medicines If
you are too stout. Cut down your
diet, get out of door exercise, and you
will a?sume normal lines and weight.
Avoid sweets, eggs, cream, fat meats
and especially potatoes.
For Insomnia.
Prink a generous quantity of water;
then half an hour later eat slowly a
paprika or red pepper crustless sand
wich with batter, half an hour before
bedtime. It will draw the blood from
the head to the stomach, stimulate the
stomach and rest the brain.
Drowning.
Lay the body face downward, face
turned to one" side so as nut to prevent
breathing. Extend arms above head.
Kneel astride the buttock, place your
hands on the short ribs and alternately
press dovyu with the weight of your
shoulders and release twelve to fifteen
times to the minute. Do this for an
hour if necessary. When natural
breathing is restored rub legs and body
toward the heart to stimulate circula
tion.
Jellied Meat and Vegetables.
Cook a cupful of stock, a cupful of
hot water' and a little beef extract,
with a tablespoonful each of minced
onion and parsley, for five minutes.
Soften a tabiesi>oouful of gelatin In
cold water and pour the hot stock
over it. Stir until dissolved, then strain.
Place alternating layers of thinly slic
ed cold chicken or lamb Id a plain
mold, with cold cooked peas and car
rots cut in tiny cubes. Add a sprinkle
of lemon Juiee to each- layer of meat
and pour the jelly over all. Set on ice
or in a cool place until the jelly is
firm. Serve, evenly sliced, with lettuce,
watercress or parsley.
DON'TS FOR MOTORISTS.
• Don't overcrowd your car.
Don't load up with supplies you
will not need.
Don't start with" a car that is
not in Bret class running condi
tion.
Don't try to do the impossible.
Don't race with locomotives. •
Don't fail to take an extra tire
or two along.
Don't disregard local regula
tions, even if they seem unrea
sonable.
Don't neglect to prepare for
rain and cold.
Don't forget safety first, last
and always.
A Way Around a
Difficulty
By ELINOR MARSH
Mrs. Hasklns bad but one person In
the world to tie to; that was Alice
Nell. The old lady had the usual self
ishness of one of ber age and condition
and would not on any account cousent
that Alice should marry.
"But, grandma," argued the girl,
"suppose I marry and you continued to
live with me?"
"That wouldn't do at all. No house
Is large enough for two families. No,
Alice, you can't marry as long as I
live. I took you when you were a lit
tle girl, and but for me you would have
had no home. Now that I have no
home but with you. It is your duty to
remain single and take care of me."
That ended the dialogue. Alice sigh
ed, for she had a lover who was argu
ing on the other side of the question.
He admitted that Alice should con
tinue to make a home for her grand
mother, but he ofTered to take upon
himself a case of mother-in-law, or,
rather, of grandmother-In-law, which
was worse, and argued that the old
woman should be satisfied with tills.
But so long as she would consent to
nothing but Alice's splnsterhood there
was nothing for it except that Alice
shojuld remain a spinster.
Fred Martin, Alice's lover, finally
persuaded her to a marriage which
should be concealed from her grand
mother. The old lady was so feeble
that the couple did not expect her to
live very long, and while she did live
this plan would enable Alice to take
care of her on her grandmother's own
conditions. Of course it would be
hard on Fred and Alice, but after all
wouldn't It be better than for both to
grow old separated or better even than
a case of grandmother-in-law, for, so
far as the old woman was concerned.
Fred would be nonexistent.
So the couple were married, and
Fred fitted up a house near where his
wife lived, he taking up his abode In
single blessedness, except when Alice
could visit him. The old lady went to
bed at 9 o'clock, and when she was
j asleep Alice would slip out and go to
the home where she really belonged.
They kept a maid, so that if Mrs.
Hasklns woke up and Alice wasn't on
hand the maid could say she had step
ped around the corner to buy some
thing.
This was not exactly notne lire, out
as Fred was at work all day, not re
turning usually till after 7 o'clock, it
was not so bad, and it was not obli
gatory on his wife to hurry home. By
and by Alice told her grandmother
that she must go to a hospital for a
few weeks, and the old lady was
obliged to remain in care of the maid.
After Alice was discharged from the
hospital there was a period when she
was continually running out for some
thing. But she could not go often
enough for her purpose, so one morn
ing when she was away and the maid
was engaged the old lady answered a
ring at the doorbell, and there on the
step was a three-weeks-old baby.
Mrs. Hasklns took the little thing up
In her arms, and when Alice enme
home she found her grandmother
dandling it on her knee in a very
motherly sort of way. The old lady
wouldn't consent that the child should
be sent away, so Alice was obliged to
divide Its .motherhood with her. It
wasn't long before the one woman
was as fond of the child as the other.
Then one day the postman brought
a note signed by a man who claimed
to be the baby's father, saying that he
regretted parting with it and asking
that it bo sent to him. This put I he
old lady In great distress. Alice wrote
a letter to the father -at her grand
mother's dictation—begging the father
to leave the child whore it was he
being permitted to come and see it
whenever he liked.
This brought a man who gave his |
name as Frederick Martin, and after j
a conference in which he insisted that
unless they would take him to board lie
would take the child away, Mrs. Flas
kins consented, and (he family was
Increased by one man.
After awhile Fred began to pour a
tale of woe into Mrs. TTaskins' ear
His wife had deserted him and her
child for her (rrandmother. The old
lady was so indignant at the "old
crone," as she called the grandmother,
that she could scarcely contain her
self.
Meanwhile the old lady noticed that '
Fred and Alice were together a good
deal, and sL» wished Fred's wife
would (lie so that he could marry Alice
and the baby could have a mother as
well as a father. When the pear was
ripe Fred came home oue evening and
announced that his wife was "no
more."
He tried hard to appear respectful to
his wife's memory, but found It diffi
cult This was not remarkable since
the departed had treated both her
husband and her child so badly. Mrs.
Hasklcs averred that no respect what
ever was due her: that she had been a
soulless, shameless creature, and the
sooner Martin forgot her the better.
As for Alice, she maintained a discreet
silence, which her grandmother attrib
uted to an expectation that she would
take the lost wife's place.
The old lady after this was very 1m
patient to learn that tht? widower had
proposed to Alice. She was not long
kept waiting for the announcement or
the wedding. After the ceremony she
fell on her grandson-in-iaw's shoulder
and hoped heaven would punish that
"old cat" who had caused him so much
trouble.
