Sc use our head to save our feet and do so many 'things individually, which if they were saved up and all done a: one time we would be less tired when the end of the day came. : An organizatfin in a small town held a meeting at which sugges- tions for the help of'the house fe were submitted. Each member sub- mitted one suggestion. They may he p you in your work so I will pass them along. One woman Sug- gests laundering the curtains first. 1 have no argument against this or in favor so if you disagree then let me know why. One member told het plan for s'retching cud- tains When washed and slightly starches, put one curtain at a time across the pole, stretching it full length as it dries, stretch it slight- ly so as to have it hang properly. By utilizing several windows it is not a slow job, When almost dry take down and press the edges. It was suggested that one put the same size hem on the top of the curtain as on. the bottom and then when the curtains had been laun- dered they may be reversed and will in this way wear longer. An- other good suggestion was that the upstair curtains be done up first and put away, when the room is thoroughly cleaned the curtains may be hung and then one room Is finished. This, includés another hint which says, to clean one room at a time. If '#t is a bedroom fit would be well to clean out the bureau drawers before the clean- ing starts. Mend all the clothes which are in need of repair and put them away neatly. Discard all those things which you have been intending to throw away for so long. Furs will be just as free from - moths if they are put away in cedar instead of moth balls and then that unpleasant odor is also dispensed with. One suggestion which seems to be the thought, of many of the women was that one should mot overtax one's strength. This might well be suggested to some women. A clean house is not a joy to any woman who has worked so hard cleaning it that she is a complete wreck: Do the amount of work in one day which your physieal strength will stand, Start to do the cleaning in the early part of the week and then if you do a '{ small portion a day you will be finished by the week-end and can enjoy a good rest. A number of miscellaneous bints were given. There was one for cleaning nickel on the stove, Use a teaspoon of Gillette's lye in water. Apply with a brush. This} is particularly effective if you have one of those stoves where there is a pattern or openwork in the nickel. To clean. the sink soda ard ammonia were suggested, using one teaspoon of soda and one of ammonia to 1 gallon of water. When moths get into the rug, boil mothballs in water and slip the broom into this solution to sweep the rug. Use a chamois for clean- ing windows, Use warm water and Plenty of it. It your house is placed near the street and in the summer when the doors are open and everyone passing on the street can see in, paint the wire netting of the screen door with a coat of white paint. This enables those in the house to see out but does not permit those on the street from seeing In. If you are troubled with ants on the pantry shelf a liberal sprinkling of chloride of lime on the shelves will rid you of these nuisances. What troubled a majority of the women was the time wasted in pre- paring and eating meals. One sug- gested that only two meals be served during the day. This is silly for the body needs more nour. ishment at this time when you are taxing your physical strength than at any other time. Eat three meals a day as before and if more food is needed to keep up your strength eat it. Fill the cookie and gingér snap jar before you begin clean ing and then there will always be something to give the children between meals and at mealtime. A pie which will not become soggy when allowed to stand for a few days would be a good kind to make before the cleaning s.arts and, then there will not be any worry in re- gard to the dessert for dinner. Applesauce would be a handy thing to have on hand too. The vege- tables for the dinner of the follow- ing day might be prepared at night while you are resting. Helpful Hints for Harassed Housewives Potassium permanganate is val- uable in removing certain stains on white fabrics. It should not be used on rayon. It can be suc- cessfully used on many colored fabrics, but it is wise to try it first on an unexposed part ot the mater- ial. Potassium permanganate is liable to injure delicate fabrics, so should be used with the utmost care. To prepare the permangan- ate for use dissolve one teaspoon of the crystals in two cups of water. It should be applied with a glass rod or medicine dropper and allow- ed to remain about five minutes. very near unfit to work. I saw Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertised and tried it and believe it helped me wonderfully. 1 have no weak spells any more, the pains have left me and my nerves are much bet- ter. I feel safe in saying Lydia E. Pinkham's medicines have helped me wonderfully."--Mr. Wm. H. Beecheeller, Box 143, Port Colborne, Ontario. 1| If it leaves. a brown or pink stain apply lemon juice if the raoric is cotton, linen or washable silk. A saturated solution of oxalic acid will also be effectual. For wool- len fabrics hydrogen peroxide will be better; if necessary make it slightly acid with oxalic acid or hydrochloric acid. In using any of these removers follow with a thorough rinsing. . x When sewing on velvet it is wise to use needles instead of pins on the patern, thus avoiding ugly pinholes in the material. *¥ x =x Before pouring milk from the bottle be sure and wipe the dust off the top carefully. It is there that germs and dust collect and can be poured into the glass guite easily with the clean milk, » The scarf, which is to be an im- portant item in the ensemble this Spring, must be kept spotlessly clean. Make a suds of warm wa- ter and pure white soap. Dip the scarf in and squeeze gently until all the soil has disappeared. Do not rub at all. Ripse In several waters and pin on a clean ironing board, over which spread a clean sheet. Just before it is dry iron under a clean white cloth. CHOCOLATE CREAM A pleasant way for the person who has to drink plenty of cream and milk is to take it in the form of this chocolate cream. Soak 1 1-2 tablespoons of granluated gelatin in 1-4 cup water; melt 1 square chocolate over boiling water; heat 1 1-2 cups cream or rich milk un- til it is scalding hot and pour it over the melted chocolate. Add 1-2 cup sugar and pour the hot mix- ture over the gelatin and stir it until it is dissolved and the mix- ture is smooth. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla and pour into a cold, wet mold. Serve with whipped cream, If you put apples through a food chopper when you want to make ap- ple sauce hurriedly. It saves time and trouble. The same is true when making pear butter or any other preserves. . Diamonds!

The proposals have been spon sored among the numerous "na- tions" that inhabit the Caucasus, and the campaign amounts to an energetic drive for simpler and more comfortable dress for women. Resistance is apparent, although in almost every instance the wo- men's clothes are symbols of wo- man's inferiority, imposing upon her hardships and exposing her to disease. Among many mountain tribes of Dagestan, XKarachevo- Balkirsk and other states, women are not permitted to wear over- coats or other warm clothes. That is considered a male privilege, and Women's Style Changes in : Caucasus Strongly Resisted severe winters fake a high death toll among women.

After ° marriage an armor made of coins and silver ornaments--weighing about 15 pounds--replaces the cor- set. The women of the Kumitch tribe wear a one-sided costume, having heavy drapes and ornaments on the left side which is supposed to be the seat of human sin. This side is kept from the sensitive eyes of her husband. h and was won by Miss Freda Perry with a score of 148.
