Somehow the ounce pro- duces the pound; it seems to start the digestive machinery going prOperly, so that the patient is able to digest and absorb his ordinary food, which he c0u1d not do be- fore, and that is the way the gain is made.

Your law or muslin curtains Will keep Clean twice as long; if you will lift the curtain poles from the brack- ets and lay them, curtains and all, in another room when you are about to sweep, as no dust will settle on them. Every precaution should be taken to keep the curtains clean as long as possible, as it is the wash- ing that wears them out more than the using. Keep plenty of dust sheets and covers. They can be made from partly worn dress skirts or of any light weight or much worn piece of soft goods, no matter what the color or material. Cover all the pieces of furniture that cannot be moved out of the room when sweep- ing, with these covers, and when the dust has all settled, gather them carefully by the corners and carry them out of doors to be shaken. to fine crumbs on a pastry board. Add salt to taste, mix the powdered nufs with enough fresh cream cheese to make a paste that can be easily spread on unbuttered brea'd. Keep in a cold, damp'pluce until wanted.

WILL REVIVE ENGLISH GLASS Newly Inverted Pot Arrives at Right Time. At an opportune momentâ€"When the glass industry nl England is goâ€" ing from bad to worseâ€"a. remarkable invention has just been patented which, it is hoped, Will enable Eng- land to regain much of her lost trade. The small manufacturers of glass have been practically wiped out owing,r to their inability to stand the strain of paying workmen for the long hours in whiéh no Work can be done. But to explain. The materials 01‘ “'lliC’ glass is composed are put in what is technically called a pot, and this pot, or crucible, is placed in a furnace. But up to the present these pots have been so fashioned that workmen have to wait eighteen hours and longer before the metal can be drawn~ for practical purposes. In some cases even as long a time as fortyâ€"eight. hours has elapsed, and it is a. common occurrence for work- men arriving in the early hours of the morning; with the intention of Working the. metal melting in the pots overnight to find that they have to Wait for a few hours before they can commence. All this means lost money. The Lang pot holds a ton of glass, and it is placed in the fur- nace in such a manner that only two necessary openingsâ€"tho. mouth and the arch openingâ€"can appear. The new invention prevents this loss of time, and like all clover deâ€" vices it is simple. The inventors, Messrs. Jules Lang" Son, have thoroughly tested it. and have pro- duced glass beautifully clear and as refined as it is possible to be. The Lang pot, by an ingenious arrangeâ€" ment, permits an uninterrupted flow of glass. and thus the work can be kept going; day and night. Pale, muddy complexion is an in- dication of liver troubles.
