nor there. Th cinder under discussion
la a prosaic cinder, with so intention ol
doing more miachief than caualns; ex
cruciating physical pain, InBamlnst the
eye. ' demoralizing th temper and de
ranfrlns: the nerves. .
The summer traveler can scarce ex
pect to escape meeting with such a cin
der somewhere In the length and
breadth ot her Journeying - :
In hot weather one la Ukel7 to be not
so closely veiled, and the windows and
doors of cars and other conveyances
must needs be opened wide to admit of
the chance breath of air olT sultry
day. These conditions invite the cinder..
And how to treat it when we aet ltT
Aunt Mary will tell us to close the eye
and blow the nose hard several times,
rolling the eyeball meanwhile. Cousin
Mime will advise rubbing the other eye.
Aunt Mary's advice is based upon com
mon sense, for the closing of the eye
over the foreign matter wilt cause the
tears to flow, and "with them the In
truders is likely to be carried to the. in
ner corner of the eye, where It can be
easily removed with the corner of a soft
handkerchief. '
n Ofttimes the mere lifting of the up
per eyelid (by the eyelashes) will allow
the accumulated tears to wash away the)
cinder. Then, too. a cinder, If not tight
ly lodged, may be displaced by simply
drawing the upper lid as far as possible
over the lower one, then letting It fly
back to Its place: the friction la very
likely to detach any light substance.
Cousin Jltme'i advice ' in probably,
based upon the principle of sympathy.
A soft camel's-hatr , paint brush la
often used In removing a cinder or other
speck which baa lodged on the surface
of the' eye. Moisten the brush In the
mouth, then draw it backward against
the speck.; Sometimes the particle may
be picked uo upon the moistened point
of the brush, but this must be done
with delicate care. The backward stroke
is the safest method.
, K sharpened match-stick, with a bit
of absorbent cotton wound about it.
Is employed to remove a cinder or
other mtfudlnr substance from either
the surface of the eye or the eyelid.
When the cinder lodges in the under
surface of the upper lid, its removal ia
a more difficult proposition. Stand be

with b?ad leaning back. Lift the upper

the head slowly forward until the

To ReduceThe Weight

some rules which . will help you If
they are strictly adhered to: ' r -
Avoid all starchy and sweetened food,
all cereals, .vegetables containing su
gar or starch, such sj- peas, beans,
corn, potatoes, etc. Have your bread
toasted; sprlakle it with salt Instead
of using butter. Zlllk, I regret to say,
if it be pure and good, is fattening.
Skimmed milk may be drunk. Hot wa
ter la an excellent substitute for other
, liquids. Add a little of the Juice of
limes or lemons to it. If you choose.
