Roll up lightly. and pill on a hot dish in a hot place while you make the others. alid watery. Spirits of,camphor rubbed lightly on the gums will allay inflammation. Greasy baths may be made perfectly clean by lightly scouring with a wet flannel dipped in common salt. Pieces. stni good, can be cut. from worn carpets, which, joined together, will make rugs for servants‘ rooms, ctc. Wallpapers can be cleaned 'with dough almost better than bread. which sometimes roughens the surface. If a baby gets a knife in its band, do not attempt to draw it away. but hold up something else likely to attract it, and it will drop the knife. To Clean Gliding-Remove all dust with a soft brush, then wash the gliding lightly and rapidly with warm water in which an onion or two has been boiled. Dry by rubbing lightly with soft cloths. iron rust can be removed by salt mixed with a little lemon juice. Mud stains may be removed from tan leather boots and shoes by rubbing them with slices of raw potatoes. when dry polish with cream or paste in the usual way. To stop bleeding from the lungs, take a teaspoonful of table salt. and swallow it dry. Keep perfectly quiet, in a re- cumbent arrives. To drink a half-pint of hot milk or hot water will have the effect of pro- ducing sleep in eight cases out of ten. When ironing, if the iron is rough and sticks and is difficult to work, sprinkle a little salt on the ironing board and rub the iron up and down upon it. It will speedily make the iron smooth again, and prevent its sticking. Do not set earthen dishes in a hot oven or upon-the stove. It cracks the glazing and renders them unfit for use. The smell of such dishes is very disa- greeable, and cases of poisoning have been traced to their use. Before making a silk cushion iron the . silk on me wrong side with an iron that has been well rubbed with wax. This will form a kind of thin varnish on the material, and prevent the down r feathers used for stuffing working through after a time, as they often do. ¢ TEETHING TIME. Every mother dreads that period in her baby's titt,‘ known as teething time. Tile little gums are swollen, inflamed and tender; the child suffers greatly, and is so cross and irritable that the whole household is on edge. All this is changed in homes where Baby's Own the inflammation, softens the swollen, tender gums, brings the teeth through painlessly. In proof Mrs. W. C. McCay, “I have. found position. until a physician.I i the Hamburg-American line, announces. its determination to take tip the chal- lenge for supremacy.

But. the Lusitania will steam 29):; miles, and the forthcoming llam- bu"Rt/\ltlet‘icaii well over 30. Another quarter of a century and ocean speed may have increased another 50 per cent. AMAZING FORECASTS. Later experts have made amazing fore- costs. In the last third of a. century the tonnage of Atlantic liners increased fivefold; if, therefore, their capacity were to increase in like ratio during the next third of a century, the largest steamer in the year 1940 would be near- ly 70.000 tons. Her corresponding di- mensions would be: Length, 1,000 feet: breadth, extreme, at upper deck, 120 feet; depth. 75 feet. The Lusitania's length is 787 feet, breadth 88 feet, depth 6!) feet. This. however, is merely the modest prognostication of a practical shipbuild- er. H. G. Wells, dreamer and roman- cer, might picture whole cities afloat by 1939. We are told that the next Hamburg- American will go one better in the mat- ter of luxury as well as size. She is to be equipped with Turkish baths, and a swimming tank for the use of‘passen- gers. But she will have to be a very won- derful creation indeed if she is to excel existing liners in luxury of accommo- dation. Sliipowncrs vie eagerly with each other in providing accessories to passengers’ comfort. as a survey of their recent announcements will show. Handsomer fitted gymnasia are the latest allurements. The HamburgAm- ericans have them, of course, so have the R.M.S.P. Aragon and the North Ger- man liner Prinz Eitel Friedrich. The gym on the 1ast~named is 25 feet long, 21 feet wide and fifteen feet high. It contains machines for rowing, swim- thing and cycling, and Swedish electri- cal health machines. A PLAYGROUND FOR CHILDREN is a feature of the C.P.R. company's Empress of Ireland. An imitation beach composed of Clyde sand is constructed on the upper deck and here juvenile passengers may shovel and build sand Castles all day long. The vessel also has a nursery, well stocked with toys.

The catering system is being revised in a somewhat remarkable way. On the newest Hambul'g-Aiiiericans meals are, now served a la carte. Passengers may take tickets to include the custo- mary dining-saloon meals, or they may book with the liberty of using the res- taurant when and as they please. The Anierika’s a la carte restaurant is: on: the sixth deck. and its accommo- dates 120 persons. This is in addition tr the main dining-room. where 400 perâ€" sons may take the usual table d‘liote service. Tile Kaiserin's a la carte res- tnurant, adapted for 140 people, is tile largest afloat. Bathing facilities on Atlantic liners have been considerably improved of late. The Kaiserin has wellâ€"furnished suites of apartments connecting with private bath and toilet-rooms, wllile many single rooms have their own baths. The Amerika has luxuriolis elec- tric and hydropathic baths. attended by professional maSscurs. On the Car- niania even the steerage has its own needle and shower baths. A GREAT NOVELTY.

Sir Charles Wyndham, the eminent English actor. was intended by his fa- tiier for the ministry, and was sent to a Moravian school iii Ceriliany for that purpose. He was brought up rather strictly at. the school, and was taught among other important. things, the ad- vantages of early rising. for the boys had to be at their lcholis long before most. English schoolboys leave their beds. He practised as a doctor before going on the stage.

There is the happy possibility of the mystery of the terrible disease of cancer being solved at no very remote date. This was hinted at when the results ct‘ the cxperhncnts made during the year by the Illlperial Cancer Research Fund were described at the animal meeting in London. England, by Dr. Rasliford, the general superintendent of the fund‘s laboratory. Hc dealt chiefly with the results of the inoculation of 100.000 mice. The scientists, he said are now able tt reproduce at will in mice all the fea-‘t titres of spontaneous cancer. alld to pro-t tect healthy mice from all the conse-' quences of inoculating them with cxpcri- , been ' mental cancer. “This having achieved it is rot too much to hope that the further development of the experi- mental study of cancer will yield results having a direct bearing on the nature and treatment of the disease," added Dr. Bashford. I After repeated failures during thirty ycals the fund have been able to’ obtain offspring from mice suffering natural! from the disease, and in the near future it may be in consequence be. possible to conclude whether cancer in man is or is not hereditary. Sixty per cent of the “spontaneous” cancers which Dr. Hashford referred to bad been got to grow in mice previous. ly healthy. and in the view of the sci- entists this points to the conclusion that all malignant growths are trails- plantable. ' Tile “protection” experiments were so successful that, whereas of 100 ordinary mice ninety developed tumors after in~ oculation, none of the protected animals developed the disease. . At the same time. Dr. Bashiord added. a note of warning ill case the results might give rise to exaggerated expecta- lions. It was not yet possible. he said, to arrest the progress of experimental tu- mors, much less to etfect the cure of the disease occurring naturally. , .\‘ir William Church, in moving llle,-' adoption of the report. said that radium had not. given satisfactory results. Lord Strathcona presided at the meet- ing. and the Prince of Wales. the pre- sident of the Fund, was represented by Sir Arthur Biggc. â€"_§__.. DUST IIEAP CURE. IIcaltli Resort for London “'omen.
