No one should attempt himself to treat
any supposed or real case of impacted or
hardened cerumen. Efforts in this di
rection have been extremely harmful to
the tympanum and delicate bones of the
ears. Such attempts have als« brought
on the dreaded condition—which was
before only a supposed one—by massing
the cerumen at a narrowed point of the
canal.— Youth's Companion.
A Timely Suggest ion for Bright Women.
“I wonder,” commented a busy house
keeper recently, “that this age of special
service has not evolved an occupation of
fruit preserving by the day. There lye
plenty of women who will put up your
fruit for you at their own places, furnish
ing everything, but the rates are very
high, and the fruit sold at the women’s
exchanges is of superior quality and su
perior price too. I have a family of
growing boys, and I like to provide
plenty of simply prepared preserved
fruits, and jellies for the enormous
‘sweet tooth’ which their triple capaci
ties evolve; but I have not the time nor
the strength to do it myself, and I can
not afford to get it from present sources
of supply.
“It seems to me there ought to be
women, housekeepers themselves, who
would be glad to go into a kitchen for
$2 or $2.50 a day and put up fruit. They
could have assistance in preparing the
fruit, and one day would do the currant
jelly, another can small berries, and so
on; but such do not exist, so far as 1
know.”—Her Point of View in New
York Tinies.
