Antidotes For Poison

For poisons which cause an instantaneous sensa-tion of burning in the throat or stomach, drink a teacupful of sweet oil, or lard or grease of any kind, and afterward, if vomiting occurs, about the same quantity of magnesia water or soap-suds.

For poisons which are gradual or cause drowsiness, take an emetic first, that is, a teacupful warm water, into which has been stirred a large teaspoonful each of salt and ground mustard, every five minutes. After one or two effective vomits, drink a cup or two of strong coffee.

For arsenic, creosote, verdigris, corrosive subli-mate, etc., swallow a couple of raw eggs, or at least the whites of them. Mr. H. Frysinger,

Treatment For Rusty Gas Oven

Take all removable parts out, saturate a woolen cloth with linseed oil, and rub over the entire oven until all rust disappears. Then give a final rubbing. Do the same with the out side of the range, going over every thing but the burners; wash the burners, which are removable, and the racks in hot washing soda and suds; turn on the oven burners and dry out the range well before turning them off. All traces of oil will be gone and you will be astonished at the change. Do this once a month and your range will last longer and bake better. A new gas stove may be kept clean by rubbing it inside and out every other week with a cloth dipped in kerosene.
