WHEN YOU BUY A RAINPROOF.
A Rain resisting cloth must be proofed and also of close waave. So in the examination of rainproof fabrics two tests are applied.

One of the healthiest farmers I ever examined believed at the age of sixty that he was on the point of death from a particularly pain- ful form of heart disease. Hộ liv. ed until he "was seventy-five. His trouble was an over-healthy ap- petite in the evening.
A clergyman consu.ed me for years in the belief that he was a victim of pernicious anemis, when his trouble was lack of exercise and
sluggish liver.
Both these people had establish- ed for themselves a standard of health based on the physical reac tions they had experienced twenty years before. When a new set of reactions supervened they imagin- ed that all was lost.
There is no standard of good health applicable to
every one. Certain averages have been estab lished by which the family doctor can estimate approximately the de- gree of good health which each per- son should enjoy.

It is not tremendously important to know your height, weight, pulsc rake, and temperature. What is normal for you may be wholly ab- normal for your next door neigh-
bour.
Medical science has gone so far that it is on pretty safe ground. when it accepts averages as casen- tially correct; but a varíation need cause no alarm. The variation in itself may, indeed, be the sign of well-being-
If one really feels ill, the doctor must, of course, be consulted.
Scores of people make a last will and testament at the age of forty who live to alter it a dozen times before the clergyman is called in to read the burial service over them. at the age of eighty. The longest lives are often built up, on, appar- ently the frailest foundations,

An unproofed cloth will increase in weight by about 200 per cent. A Tery well proofed cloth may only increase in weight by 20 per cent.

MRS. THRIFTY SAYS
Why don't you keep all the drip- pings from reasts in a jar to be used for frying?
:
Place the dripping in a bowl and pour boiling water over, then allow to stand till the water has cooled. This process clears the fat, and any extra solids settle at the bot- tom. When thoroughly cold, move the fat from the top and keep in a jar to be used for frying pur-
poses.

When you are decorating a glass jar by painting, you will find this an casy method of transferring the design. Choose the picture or transfer design of the Rower figure and stick it into position inside the jar with a little paste. Follow the pattern, and when the paint is thoroughly dry, remove the design from the inside of the jar with warm water.
