or four pieces, as it is or is not seamed 
at the center back. There are seams

One Use for Slippery Elm. 
I note what is said about a girl swal¬ 
lowing pins, on page 948. The use of 
slippery elm bark as suggested in clip¬ 
ping given below seems so sensible that 
I send it, thinking you may care to re¬ 
print it for the benefit of your readers. 
I cannot recall name of paper from 
which the clipping was taken: 
“I felt so sorry for my friend, not 
only because she lost her little child and 
missed her so much, but because it 
seemed so avoidable. The little thing 
swallowed three carpet tacks, and then 
the mother gave a dose of castor oil. 
This only complicated matters, and 
forced the tacks through the wall of the 
stomach. Years ago I swallowed several 
tacks, and the doctor made me chew 
quantities of slippery elm bark to a pulp 
and swallow it. This was kept up at in¬ 
tervals until all the tacks had passed the 
bowels. The elm bark formed a slippery 
covering around the tacks. During the' 
time as little liquid as possible was 
swallowed. If a small child swallows 
tacks, glass, nutshells, pennies or other 
foreign substances, and is too small to 
chew the bark, get the ground bark and 
mix with a very little water and feed 
to the child as much as possible for the 
first three hours. Have seen this tried 
in four cases and every time it proved 
a success.” geo. d. clarice. 
Sour Cream Salad Dressing.—Mix one 
heaping teaspoonful mustard smoothly 
with six tablespoonfuls vinegar. Beat 
one egg and add gradually one table¬ 
spoonful olive oil and two tablespoon¬ 
fuls sour cream; add to the vinegar and 
mustard, season with salt and pepper and 
cook over hot water one minute, stirring 
constantly. Cool and bottle. 
Boiled Salad Dressing.—A boiled 
dressing which will keep several days is 
made as follows: Boil one egg and add 
slowly a tablespoonful of melted butter. 
Mix well in another dish, half a tea¬ 
spoonful (each) salt and flour, and stir 
these into the egg and butter; put in a 
double boiler and add two tablespoonfuls 
of vinegar, mixed with five tablespoon¬ 
fuls of boiling water. Stir constantly 
until it thickens slightly. This dressing 
never curdles.
