Dried Citron Melon. 
Will you publish a recipe for preparing 
citron dried in sugar? mrs. 1 . j. k. 
We infer that this inquirer refers to 
citron melon, which is very different 
from the true citron, Citrus Medica, a 
large, thick-rinded lemon-like fruit. Its 
rind is the familiar candied peel of the 
grocers. Citron melon is dried and used 
in the same way, but it does not pos¬ 
sess the flavor of true citron. Cut the 
melon into four parts, peel, slice and 
remove the seeds. Take two quarts of 
clear water, dissolve a piece of alum 
tbe size of a hickorynut in the water, 
put in the preserving kettle as much cit¬ 
ron as the water will cover and boil 
until tender enough to pierce with a 
straw; then boil in sugar; a pint bowl 
of sugar to the same measure of fruit. 
Boil orue-half hour. Spread it on pie 
plates and set it in a cool oven or heater 
and let it dry perfectly. 
Care of Child’s Ears. 
If a child has frequent earaches after 
exposure to cold or damp weather, it is 
probably . caused by rheumatism. Pains 
in the limbs, also, will confirm the 
diagnosis, and of course this condition 
will need a remedy. It is well to con¬ 
sult a physician; but if not too severe, 
lithia tablets, dissolved in water, are 
found helpful. For a child under 10 
use a half tablet to half a glassful, 
and take as drinking water. Prepare 
when required, and have him drink that 
amount several times a day. 
Heat will relieve the pain of earache, 
and a few drops of warm, not hot, 
water can be run in the canal of the 
ear. After a few minutes the head can 
be held over against a cloth to let the 
water out and fresh warm water can be 
put in. Warm olive oil is still better, 
for it will also soften and remove hard¬ 
ened wax. The ear is very sensitive, so 
it must not be used hot nor cold, just 
mildly warm. Meat two cloths and put 
them over the ear alternately. The 
heat will penetrate and relieve the pain. 
When there is a running discharge 
from the ear, cleanse with a gentle flow 
of warm water from a syringe. The 
small hard rubber syringe is best, but 
the ordinary one may be used. A little 
peroxide in the water is helpful. The 
proper amount to use will be found in 
the directions or the label of the bottle. 
Be careful not to use a forceful stream 
from the syringe, which might injure 
the sensitive^ drum.- Grasp the lobe'and 
raise it slightly up and out to straighten 
the canal. An interrupted stream is 
best, that is, let a little flow, then stop, 
start again, then stop. Repeat this at 
short intervals until the treatment is 
finished. 
A child need not be disfigured by 
having the ears stand out from the 
head. A soft bandage over them at 
night will train them close, and there 
are special skeleton caps that can be 
bought for this purpose for the infant. 
Day caps should not be pulled down 
behind the ear, but over the tip. The 
mother should notice that the ear lies 
flat when the baby is laid against the 
pillow to sleep. A little care, in infancy 
and childhood, will save later humilia¬ 
tion. EDYTHE STODDARD SEYMOUR. 
SUCCESSFUL 
MOTHERHOOD 
means more than a fat 
baby. It means laying the 
foundation of a strong, 
sturdy constitution. 
Fat alone is not enough; 
there must be bone, 
muscle, brain and nerves.
