THE FORREST CITY TIMES
IANOVOICT A VAOAKIN, Publi»h«f».
FORRKST CITY, ARKANSAS.
THE HOT WATER BOTTLE.
Simple Yet Sovereign Remedy foi
Many of the Family
Ailments.
For an ache or pain in ar.y part o: j
the body there is perhaps no remedy
that will bring as quick and efticlen
relief as the hot water bottle, and a!
the same time be perfectly harmless
leaving no bad after effects Artyon*
who has ever used the hot water bot
tle and experienced its soothing am
quieting effect will be loath to be with
out one, says Medical Talk for ih<
Home.
in many homes, however, the hot wa
ter bottle is unknown. W<* have found
many people Who have no idea whai
we mean when we say hot water bottle
This is especially true in small towns
and country places. The druggist does
not keep the bottles for sale aud they
have never even seen one.
In these homes too often harmful
drugs are resorted to for every ach»
and every pain. The laudanum bottl<
and the paregoric bottle are never al
lowed to go empty. They are kepi
ever filled and ready for use. True
paregoric will quiet the colicky baby
and laudanum will relieve the pains o!
neuralgia or the twinges of rheuma
tism. But they do more than this
They constipate, the bowels, and clof
the system, and they ofttimes fasiei
on the patient a habit nol easily goiter
rid of.
A hot water bottle Is what e\ery
family (should have. It is so simple ant
easy to use. Just fill with hot watei
and screw in the top and you have i
hot hag that will retain the heat a Ion?
time. If the baby has earache, nestli
its head on a hot water bottle, eoverei
with some soft fabric For a jumping
toothache or for neuralgia, try the lv*
water bottle. If the growing boy 01
girl cries at night with tin leg ache
place a hot water bottle on tin- a; lung
limb and they will soon fall asleep Fi t
pleurisy, backache. rhcuma* tn
' ramps, any acute pain, the hot wan t
bottle will be found a quit 1. and ■ lit
cient remedy.
The old-fashioned vtry of applyir.'
heat was to use a hot bri 'K or shovt lit
Hat-Iron or a bag or hot salt or bops, al
of which are good, far better than drugs
but not quite so easily heated or so con
venient to apply as the hot water bottle
A brick or an iron is too heavy to lay or
the body and the best that i it. be dou<
Is to lay them as close to the seat ol
pain as possible. Hut t tie hot - water bot
tle can be placed directly over the arc;
of the pain on any part of the body
Another good quality of tin hot watei
bottle is the short time required t>> get it
ready. It takes but a few minutes P
heat a quart of water. In hotin s not
provided with gas or oil stoves, it wil
not he necessary to kindle a flic in tht
grate or cook stove, as it would be tc
heat a brick or an iron, bn: the watei
< an be heated over an oil lamp or a snial
alcohol stove.
Whin the people learn the \alurol
heat as a cure for pain, the .-.cotlung
quieting effect of hot water they wi:
not lie anxious about keeping thMauda
tuin bottle and the paregoric bottle
filled but their rare will be to s* r that
ihe hot-water bottle is in good condi
tion and the alcohol or oil stove ready tr
light with a touch, and then, if needed
.hey haw ready at hand a r» nt*dy mon
potent and harmless than their drug
filled bottles, a r< tuedy that plievtsthf

says Good Housekeeping For our pur
pose we will use potatoes, turnips, car

«ook the n eat early enough to r*Uow th

thi fat. rein at and usf. part of the liquor
in which to ( oiik the vegetables in separ
ate kettles Cut these vegetable-a in at
tractive pieces and i rrang. for «< king
so that all will be d< :.c and n<d over
done, at the same time. Cook the cab
bage alone. Shred the head coarsely
make it crisp by -oaking in cold water
and cook it rapidly in boiling salted
water, uncovered, until temo-i
In serving, place the meat in tin cen
ter of the platter, surrounded with cab
bage as a bed for the other v.g( table®
and arrange with some thought of at
tractiveness. Garnish with some bits
of parsley, of which it would be wise to
partake, since it will absorb any odor
of cabbage which might otherw ise Jurk
in the breath.
Itlce Fritters.

Japanese headquarters were received

consequence, it is assumed here that
inactivity lias followed the ohortive
Russian assaults of Monday night.
The Russian concentration in front
of the armies of Generals Oku ana
Nudzu (the left ami centers, respective
ly,) on Monday, reported by Field
Marshal Oyama, created the impres
sion here that the Russians were plan
ning to assume the aggressive, and
that another great battle was immi

Kuropatkin is merely seeking to pro
bit his right and rear in order t<;
gain time to withdiaw his army across
