The annual subject of "catching sui ild" is causing its usual theorizing, id again we are being reminded of ( e danger of overheated rooms. Few jy em to realize that the danger is not wj. i much going into a very cold tern- gU] jrature; but lies in the passing from .... ie cold to a warm apartment. Yc It has long been u subject of com- pr aiut on the part of some Europeaus ger at American houses are overheated. cjj, is also claimed that one result of C0| is overheating is that Americans are g0, ore subject to lung or throat diseases m8 an they would be if their houses aj| ere kept at a lower temperature dur- 25 g the winter. This is probably true ma ) to a certain point; but there are m me ways in which the danger can be wj, 'oided even where there the temper- co, ure of the residence is not low. ^ It seems to be the general idea that jje e person who passes from an over- agg sated room into the cold air of the ju reets is in serious danger of catching OQ( Id. Consequently muny persons wj; ay indoors in the winter time, be- 0f use they do uot like to run the risk taj catching cold by going out. In this ey often make a decided mistake, j cause the majority of colds are not 29 ught by going from a warm temper- g0 ure into a cold temperature, provi- jjjg id the person makiug the change in- a?( ilges in reasonable exercise aud does 0f ?t remain out doors too long. The wj| al danger of catching cold comes jD? ion the return into a warm room. As a matter of fact, many physicians sjj( ild to the belief that the stimulation co| the circulation and nerves caused pn ' a warm room often prevents a per- g n from catching cold when going into ' temperature that is in the ueighbor- Qf iod of zero. The danger rather Qa mes in the sudden rush of a person, .... illed by inteuse cold, into an excess ^ ely warm room. If a vestibule or ne* tiling room were maintained in most for uses at a temperature of about 60 wjj 65 degrees, and a pause were made gi.( ere after coming in from a walk in ou) e winter air, colds would not he so ^ quent in this country. The suggestion is worth heeding, d it is of special importance to teach mQ e children the danger of rushing di- fr0 utly from the cold outdoor air to wa trm fingers and toes over hot stove qjj open grate. dn( ' * ' pla HOT WATER REMEDIES. pei Hot water is so simple a remedy, me d so easily obtained that its value is sen t half appreciated. It is one of the for st restorers of nervous energy, it Co, 3ts the weary, and it relieves pain, lar; it only as an outward application ; no* it as a remedy to be taken iuler- nei .lly. ha1 A ciwlilrm nn<t wpflrini? attack of irrc ughing often needs immediate alten- to >u, especially in consumptives, and ent ose chronically ill. In an emergen- bel , that ever useful remedy will often offi ove effective. It is much better than eu< e ordinary cough mixtures, which Sk Border the' digestion and spoil the to ipetite. Water, ulmost boiling, ou| ould he sipped when the paroxysms vil mes on. offi A cough, resulting from irritation, is de] lieved by hot water through the me omotion of secretion, which mois- fac ns the irritated surfaces. For the Lit yiug cough, hot water is also excel anl it, as it promotes expectoration and pai ings relief. in? When one has a sudden attack of ap| digestion it is a good plan to take a act p of hot water as nearly boiling as offi n be borne. Persons sutfering from to\ spepsia will find a relief by drink- ab< g a cup of hot water on rising in the afc orning. bli Wheu one comes home at night af- the ra fatiguing day, nothing is more the stful than bathing the head and hack po< the neck with a towel wrung out of de< iter as hot as can be borne. It abl othes the nerves and rests body and | ain. The same treatment relieves a Jai rvous headache as nothing else does, ha hen one is overheated and there is a Mi sh of blood to the head, a hot towel se\ plied to the face and head is a great is lief. In the heat of summer this is me hot towel refreshes and cools the Ro in, and gives it a feeling of lightness err id comfort that cold water never lov ves. coi ? ? ? tin A Good Paint.?Having recently De paiot several large buildings, I en- Gr led seriously into the questiou of un Ira onomical paint. An old and exper- Ke need paiuter advised me to use hall col netian red, half yellow ochre, mixed nai ith raw oil. He said this would crc ake the most duruble of all paints. Crc e said this mineral puint would har- ser in, and was almost like a stone in 4.2 coming impervious to the elements, for iherefore ordered a barrel of linseed res I at 30 cents per gallon, and u 110- coi >und keg of Venetian red, the same cai nount of yellow ochre, both of which air me in a dry and powdered condition, tra id cost 1$ cents per pound. It re- A lired only one-half of this oil and vva lint to cover two large buildings, one rer lilding being 100 feet square and 24 jm et high, and the other beiug 40 by 24 ab< et high. I was astonished to find Joi e buildings so thoroughly covered Fa ' one coat of paint. Anyone would in ppose at least two coats had been pu inlied. I think this one coat will wh ind several years without an addi- He >nal coat. My plan is lo let the Kg! lilding stand for one year, until this art st coat becomes entirely hardened, the id then to apply a second coat. I Be a told that these two coats will last pic i years. If so, this is certainly the act eapest paint for farm buildings a li inch can be suggested. the A J Value ok Wood Ashes.?When ace aod ashes are applied lime is unnec- hai sary, as every 100 pounds of wood his hes contain about 40 pounds of lime, a c ihes vary greatly, as they are produ- I d from different sources, easily ah- Dri rb moisture, and their composition tat nnot be determined without careful fro lamination. The most valuable in- bui edient in ashes is potash, the pro- ha< irtion being about six pounds to his ery 100 pounds of wood ashes, pie ihes also contain about 2 per cent, of Re tosphoric acid and about 3 per cent, in magnesia. Coal ashes are of but det tie value. Wood ashes give excel- Ch lit results on all kinds of crops, es- tw< cially grass. frie Miscellaneous ilcailinj IN COUNTIES ADJOIN ING. timary of the News That Ik Being F llnhed by Exchanged.
