| ENGLAND washes most of the manure
made by her people into the ocean, and
then hunts over the globe from Egypt to
Peru for more to waste. The United
States does no better. But the natives of
Japan and China maintain the fertility of
their soil by saving what those who pre-
tend to be civilized throw away. They
have no worn-out, abandoned fields

HOUsEMAIDs can save themselves a
great deal of work by using care in various
ways. A particular nail for each cloth used
about the sink makes it easier TO keep the
table at hand in order, and to cleanse the
pots and kettles perfectly, and to make the
pantry shelves neat. When water is
stopped upon the floor if it is wiped up
the rest of the floor is saved from soil
ing. Whole days may be saved in the
course of the year, and any amount of ir-
ritated temper spared, if every dish and
kitchen utensil is put away IN its place.
