shoes were an advantage or not, was asked

but the complaint of their getting the sand

Of course they look better to spectators than 
stockings, although not as comfortable to the 
wearer and we would advise that they be not 
worn, but instead stockings, the same color as 
the suit, or at least, always dark in color, c

ATTENTION TO BEDS. 
To secure health, beds that sick people have 
lain on should lie w ell cleansed. A feather¬ 
bed may lx? cleaned, when not too much soiled, 
by spreading it on the roof of a low building 
in a good shower. It should be turned and 
well shaken while drying, and it may be 
^greatly improved in this way. When too 
much soiled it may be put in a large basket 
and set in a tub or kettle of clean, warm suds, 
out-of-doors. Let souk till the suds arc nearly 
cold, then stir well with a stick or paddle and 
lift out of the basket to drain. Wash 
through two good suds and well rinse and 
drain. Dry on the floor of an nil occupied uud 
well-airod room. It should be often stirred 
while drying. Wool or hair mattresses should 
be well aired uud beateu every year, or of toner 
if lain on by sick people. The bed clothes that 
have been over the sick should be washed, 
whet her they appear soiled or not. All sleeping 
rooms uud btxls should be well aired daily. 
Every occupaut of a bed should make it hit 
business to throw back the bedding and open 
the windows before leaving his room in the 
morning. 
SHOULDER BRACES. 
1 recently saw a request for making shoulder 
braces. I have made and worn them to ad¬ 
vantage, out of ticking or thick drilling. For 
the back, two pieces four inches wide and long 
enough to extend below t he w aist three or four 
inches. Double these together and sew a 
place for whale-bone in each piece. Then 
sew up and fasten together at the edge. For 
the straps, double pieces crossing eaeli other 
at the top of the back pieces and extending 
down back of the arms to the band on the 
skirt a little forward of the shoulder and 
buttoned on to the skirt baud. The other end 
of these bands should go around the arm and 
fasten to the back pieces, low enough down to 
make a roomy armhole. There must be some 
white cotton b itting quilted into the shoulder 
bands, on the should.*r and in front of the 
arms to prevent them from galling, A button 
must b? sewed on each h ick at the bottom of 
the waist, an 1 butt >n h >]e< in the skirt bands 
to button on to them. The skirts should In 1 
buttoned togethi r in front. The baek of the 
braces should extern! below the waist inside t he 
skirt, and if made properly will be easy to 
Wear. They are not ditbeiilt to make and are 
as useful m costlier one* purchased ready 
made. Hattie Hui’tiFWGi 
DRYING SWEET CORN. 
My method of drying sweet corn is this: 
when just right for table use, cut only just 
enough off the top of the grain to allow the in¬ 
side to be scraped out with the back of the 
knife—this can bo done leaving almost all the 
skin on the cob. Then spread on plates (I keep 
very cheap ones for this purpose) and put m a 
moderately heated oven. I usually put in af¬ 
ter taking out my bread. Care must be taken 
to stir now aiul then while drying and also not 
to have too much heat. When wanted for table 
use, soak over night, or a few hours, then 15 
minutes 1 cooking will 1 h» sufficient. Reason with 
salt and pepper, a little flour aDd water, and 
oue or two tablespoonfuls of good cream, auil 
you have a most delicious dish. It is very 
much more nutritious if dried without boiling 
or even scalding first. Mrs. W. 
HINTS. 
BUILDING FIRES. 
Shavings, dry chips, bits of wood and bark, 
small sticks and brash cut up ami dried are 
nice for starting fires. Old basket splints 
soaked in oils are also good. To be ready at 
the right time, they should be prepared and 
saved before wanted. A stove that has au 
opening in front where kindlings and wood 
can be put in will not smoke. 
CHEAP PAINT. 
Water-lime mixed with skim-milk to a 
proper consistency, makes a durable paint for 
rough or smooth wood # that has never been 
oiled or painted. It will also adhere to brick, 
mortar or stone. It may be colored by mix¬ 
ing other paint (powdered) with it. 
DRIVING AWAY RATS. 
To drive away rats, take potash that has 
been left in the air till it becomes pasty, or in¬ 
corporate it with soft-soap, anil smear well all 
places where they' run; or set some of the soap 
and potash near their holes, and they will not 
trouble you long after getting into it. 
A LAXATIVE. 
To avoid disease. Dr. Fitch advises people 
to keep their bowels in a loose condition. For 
this purpose many resort to pills and other 
nostrums, which are not always the best 
remedies; but something must be done, and 
for lack of thought tuauy better uud safer 
laxatives are not used. Almost every family 
has, or may have, wheat bran, and when a 
laxative is wanted make a porridge of this 
and drink, bran and all, as much us one wishes. 
It will cleanse t he system of morbid matter 
without any injurious effects. 
Cream-of-tartar is also a good laxative. 
Take a teaspoon ful mixed with a little sugar, 
in a eup of warm water at night. If it does 
not have the desired effect repeat the dose in 
the morning. It will often work off colds 
and other maladies in their incipient stage. 
REMEDIES FOR TOOTHACHE. 
Pulverized alum and salt, equal parts are 
often effective. Or, alum moistened with 
spirits of nitre applied to the tooth will give 
relief. H. E. S.

THE GREATEST CURATIVE SUCCESS OF 
THE AGE. 
No medicine introduced to the public has 
ever met with the success accorded to Hop 
Bitters. It stands to-day the best known cura¬ 
tive article in the world, Its marvellous re¬ 
nown is not due to the advertising it has 
received. It is famous by reason of its inher¬ 
ent virtues. It does all that, is claimed for it. 
It is the most powerful, speedy and effective 
agent known for the building up of debilitated 
systems and general family medicine.

Gents—A number of people had been using your 
Bitters here, and with marked effect. A ladv of over 
seventy years had been sick for the past ten rears; 
she had not been able to be around. Six months ugo 
she was V0A*«. Her old reilledii-s or physicians 
being of no avail. I sent rortv five miles, and got a 
bottle of Hop Bitters. It hail such an effect on her 
that she was able to dress herself anil walk about tfie 
house. After taking two bottles m re she w i- ab:. to 
take care of her own room and walk out to her neigh¬ 
bor's, and has Unproved all r He time sirwe, Mi wife 
and children also have derived great benefit from 
their use. W. B. Ha" wav, Agt. U. S. Ex. Co,

Gents—Whoever you are, 1 don't know- hut ! feel 
grateful to you to know that in this world of adulter 
ated medicines there isoue compound that proves and 
does all it advertises to do nnd more. Four years ago 
I had a slight shock of pa 1 st, which unnerved me to 
such an extent Chut the least excitement would make 
me shake like the ague. Last Mnv l was induced to 
try Hop Bitters, t used one bottle, but did not see 
any change; auothcr did so change my nerves that 
they are now as steady us they ever were. It used to 
take both hands to write, but now my go- ,1 right hand 
writes this. Now, If you continue Dr manufacture as 
honest and good an article os vou do, von will ac¬
