Hello, and Autumn greetings from Pam,
As I considered a theme for this newsletter, I felt it is an appropriate time to concentrate on items that will bring you cost saving tips as well as toxin-free solutions and suggestions. With the holiday season just around the corner, I know all of us are seeking ways to save dollars wherever we can. Instead of my usual greeting, I thought of your dedication to health, and making life better for those around you. It brought to mind the scriptures in the Bible, describing a virtuous woman. Whether you are a man or woman, these are words all of us seek as corner stones for living our lives.  I look forward to sharing the Holiday Newsletter with you next month. Have an awesome October. Always with warmest regards, Pam

From Proverbs 31
10 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships, bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it; out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously; her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. 20 She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy. 21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household; for all of them are clothed in scarlet. 22 She makes coverings for her bed; she is clothed in fine linen and purple. 23 Her husband is respected at the city gate, where he takes his seat among the elders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them, and supplies the merchants with sashes. 25 She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue. 27 She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 29 "Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all." 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. 31 Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

Uses for Alka-Seltzer Tablets
,These fizzy little pills will help you unclog the sink, polish jewelry and more.Alka-Seltzer tablets and their generic equivalents are useful for more than just relief from indigestion and heartburn. From cleaning your toilet to attracting fish, these little pills pack big power when used in other ways.
Clean Your ToiletDrop two tablets in the toilet, wait 20 minutes for the citric acid to loosen the grime, scrub and flush. Your toilet will look as clean as it would had you used conventional cleaners.
Unclog the SinkA great natural solution for unclogging the drain! Drop 3 tablets down the drain, followed by a 1/2 cup of vinegar. Let the hot water run for 5 minutes and you'll have a clear drain. This will also work to deodorize the drain.
Clean Burnt Food Off Glass CookwareBurnt the casserole again? Even with a good scrub, sometimes the food seems to stay. Enter Alka-Seltzer. Drop 5 tablets in a sink full of hot water, soak your cookware for an hour and the burnt food will come off with ease.
Clean a Glass Jar, Vase or Thermos For difficult to clean vessels with intricate design and hard to reach places, a wash cloth or scrub brush just won't do. Instead, drop two Alka-Seltzer tablets in, add hot water and swish it around until the tablets are dissolved and let it sit for an hour. Rinse, and the glass jar, vase or Thermos will be as clean as new.
Polish JewelryDrop two tablets in a bowl of warm water. Let your jewelry soak for about 20 minutes. It will look new again! (Note: This is not safe for pearls or opals.) Clean a Coffee PercolatorFill the water chamber and drop in two tablets, then run a cycle. This will clean out all the internal components. Run through another plain water cycle before using the machine again for coffee. Go FishingFish love bubbles, and dissolving Alka-Seltzer is very bubbly. Put a tablet inside your tube jig and cast off. The fish won't be able to resist the stream of bubbles.Soothe Insect BitesDrop two tablets in warm water, then soak a cotton ball in the solution. Apply it to the infected area for 30 minutes for relief from the insect bites. Aside from these great Home Ec. solutions, Alka-Seltzer tablets have been attributed medicinal benefits beyond those listed on the box. Here are two of the rumored benefits:Manage Nicotine AddictionTake two Alka-Seltzer tablets three times daily to relieve nicotine withdrawal symptoms and curb cravings.Cure Urinary Tract Infections Take two tablets in a glass of water as soon as you notice symptoms. Results are almost immediate. Keep in mind that Aspirin is a main ingredient in Alka-Seltzer so those with Aspirin allergies shouldn't use it. |

Witch Hazel
Witch hazel can be used in a number of different ways:
** Taken as a tea, it can help to slow internal bleeding.
INTERNAL use variety only!
- As a liquid, it can be dabbed onto bruises, insect bites, sunburn, minor burns, poison ivy, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, stiff muscles, blemishes and more to relieve pain.
- It can be applied as an aftershave.
- It can even help to reduce bags and puffiness around the eyes by letting a cotton pad soaked in the fluid rest on your closed eyelids for 10 minutes.
- Personally, I use it as a facial astringent and toner. (The ones without alcohol. )

Travia about Autumn
Instrumentals, once chart staples, became less popular during the mid-1960s. In 1966, Roger Williams recorded a movie theme song, "Autumn Leaves". It was a hit that maintained the Hot 100 for 21 weeks, four weeks longer than any other song recorded that year. The first instrumental since 1962 to finish among the top ten ranked songs for the year.
