Lime, unslnckPtl lime, quicklinme,
calcium oxld, as it is variously called,
is made by culclnlng (heating, roast
ing or partly burning in kllnn) lime
stone, chalk, or marble. Limestone,
chalk or marble is
chemically lime car
bo n a t e (calcium
carbonate), nnd the
heating drives off
carbonic acid gas
(carbon doxld.)
leaving the burn
lime, calcium oxld,
medically called
cnlx. This unslack
llme is a good disin
fectant .and tlordorizlng agent, but It
should not be confused with "chlor
ide of. lime," otherwise known as
chlorinated lime or chlorinated cal
cjum or hleaehiiiK powder.
ljime is encap enougn to permit 01
its liberal use for disinfecting and de
odorizing organic matter of any kind,
particularly excreta. For disinfecting
such matter, tho lime should be used
only when freshty slacked, for it is
comparatively Inert In the dry state
and soon loses Us disinfecting and
deodorizing value on standing after
slaking.
Whitewash Is Blacked lime mixed
TVlth water.
Quicklime,, formerly used In the dis
posal of dead bodies, Is just ordinary
llmo.
Milk of llmo Is slaked lime mixed
with from four to eight times Its vol
ume of water to the consistency of
thick cream, and this, when freshly
prepared. Is Iho best form in which
to apply lime for disinfection or de
odnrtzatlon of organic matter.
Slaking means mixing the lime with
water, in the proportion of about two
pounds of lime to one pint of water.
Tho lime will nbsorb about that much
water. When slaking, tho mass be
comos heated and the air escapes
from the porous llmo with a hissing
noise. When this has taken place the
lime la slaked. The slaked lime Is
limn or calcium hydroxld or hydrate.
Upon standing exposed to the air this
calcium hydroxld absorbs still more
water from the air ond some carbon
dlxld and becomes converted into In
ert calcium carbonate again, practi
cally what It was before It wont thru
the lime kiln.
' A strong, fresh milk of llmo wilt
disinfect feces or other organic filth
when mixed with the material in
about the same amount as of the ma
terial to be disinfected or deodorized.
In one hour. For this purpose the
lime should be freshly slaked, or at
least not more than enough for two
days use should he slaked nt one
time. Tho fresh dry lime, without
moisture. Is comparctlvely useless for
disinfection or deodorizing.
Tho common lime used by masons
In the right thing for disinfecting or
deodorizing organic filth.
From this mme common lime the
now less popular lime water is pre
pared, by slaking a piece of lime as
big as a walnut in two quarts of boll
Ing water In an earthen Jar. stirring
well and allowing -to settle: the clear
upper liquid Is then lime water. A
tablespoonful or two of lime water
was formerly mixed with the day's
supply of food In modifying milk for
infants, but oatmenl or barley, water
Is more popular and probably better
for that purpose. The lime water is a
good mouth wash ond Is sometimes
useful to mix with milk for Invnlids.
an It prevents excessive curdling of the
milk. Aa a means of supplying the
element lime or calcium as food, lime
water Is of little value; n pint of milk
supply more lime than a pint of lime
water does. A tablespoonful of lime
water Is a fair dose, sometimes grate
ful as an antl-neld for sour stomach
and in some cases of nausea and vom
iting. ' V '

Last fall when the apple crop was har
vested I started giving her half an
apple every day, and this seemed to
ugree and to keep her intestinal ac
tion regular. Now cornea a doctor
who Is reputed to be a great baby spe
cialist and says no child under seven
years of age should eat raw apples.
He made this statement in an address
to mothers. Please give me your ad
vice about it. (Mrs. F. E. J.)
Answer. I believe some such dic
tum was given by one of the old time
baby specialists in his textbook. For
Infants It is better to give only fruit
Juice, or the pulp of stewed or cooked
fruit at first. But I .should give a
three-lyenT-old child raw apple, even
nt the risk of keeping the doctor away.
This sounds pretty good so far, I ad
mit, common sense and nil that sort
of thing. Well, let's spill the beans
now by adding an Impertinent ques
tion: Why is a baby specialist If
there is good ground for baby or child
specialists, then we ought to be logi
cnl and have an assortment of youth
specialists,! adult specialists, middle
age specialists and eld age specialists,
liut these here now child specialists
carry the children along to old age In
many cases, so perhaps there is no
real demand for the other specialists.
Seldom docs a child specialist plead

Answer. Occupational exposure to

"Tho fact Is that jurors won't be
