When Cooking.—A tiny pinch of salt added to the whites of eggs when beating will make them froth quicker, and the froth will be stiffer. In whipping cream, a little salt helps to make it turn.

Many sufferers from rheumatism have been surprised and delighted at the prompt relief obtained by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. In advising you to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm for Rheumatism, we know it will give you perfect satisfaction, as the first application will relieve the pain, and its continued use for a short time will effect a cure. For sale by D. A. Jolly and Sons. Wooden Bread-Platter. Do not wash the wooden bread-plate in hot water, and it will not turn black. Wash with soap and warm water, and rinse in clean cold water. BABY COUGH MUST NEVER LINGER. Nothing is more distressing than to see a helpless little infant suffering with a cough, and to be fearful of using a remedy which may contain some harmful ingredient. The makers of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy positively guarantee that this preparation does not contain opium in any form, or any other harmful substance. Mothers may confidently give this remedy to their little ones. It gives prompt relief, and is perfectly safe. It always cures, and cures quiokly. For sale by D. A. Jolly and Sons. For the Home Dressmaker. —Have a little bag hung on the inside of the sewing-machine frame at the left hand to receive clippings that so quiokly accumulate when working at the machine. Washing Curtains. Washing window curtains in winter oan be easily accomplished by rubbing them in dry corn meal, and then allowing them to hang a little while in a brisk wind. THEY MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD. The pleasant purgative effect experienced by all who use Chamberlain's Stomaoh and Liver Tablets, and the healthy condition of the body and mind which they create, makes you feel joyful.

The acid of the fruit (acetio acid) acts on the iron in the latter case, but does not affeot the silver. When Choking.—lf you are choked and cannot get relief, get down on all fours and cough until you remove the obstruction. The plan of holding a child upside down and shaking him is the best plan known for relieving a choking baby. QUITE DIFFERENT. The ordinary cough medicine may soothe the throat, but it has no power to heal; recovery is not complete, and a second attack is more liable to follow. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is quite different, becauju it not only soothes, but also heals, so that the affected parts are restored to a healthy condition, and the danger of a future attack is removed. For sale by D. A. Jolly and Sons. John Gaunt, who lives near Amberlygate, Derbyshire, and who is the official rat-catcher to the Midland Railway, has trained a fox to be as expert and reliable a rat-catcher at any of his dogs.

Mather, proprietor " Chronicle," Normanton (Q), always keeps a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy at hand, ready for emergency, for there is no telling when it may be needed. He says :—" It completely cured me of chronic dysentery, from which I had suffered for years. I feel confident that Chamberlain's Coiio, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy saved the life of my infant daughter, who, when teething, was severely attacked with diarrhoea, and was given up by the dootors." For sale by D. A. Jolly and Sons. To rid a house of cockroaches, throw all potato parings on to the back of the fire daily, and allow to burn in the same way as cinders. A potato ash is thus formed which banish the cookroaches, as they will not come where it is present. This is a simple but highly successful remedy. RHEUMO SOON CURED HIM. A few doses of RHEUMO soon cured Mr Geo Colledge, the well-known Wellington Master Mariner. He wr it es ; —<< I was attacked with rheumatic gout. My feet were much swollen, and so very painful that I had to keep in bed. Hearing of your cure for gout, I sent for a bottle of RHEUMO, and Rafter taking a few doses the effect was magical—the severe pain left and the swelling disappeared; I was soon on my feet again and able to go to work." RHEUMO is sold everywhere at 2s Gd and 4s Gd a bottle. There are many objections to the use of poisonous articles to keep mice out of a house, and a fresh hint may be useful to those who are troubled with theso little pests. Mice have a great antipathy to the smell of peppermint, and a little oil of peppoimint placed round their haunts and holes will successfully keep them away.
