For House Cleaning Insanity RACES
Like the Dog Star and Hus-
bands Must Mourn.

Most of the signs of spring are some.
what subducd by the snow and cold
but the spring house cleaning IS super.
ior to wind, weather ard the wish OF
man.
Two men were overheard talking in 4
Delaware avenue street Cur the other
morning. One looked bright and CHEEKY,
but the other, though one of the best
! looking men in the city, had weary,
care worn appearance. FIe was down on
his luck, thought the Spaniards might
conquer us, fruwned at the enterprising
newsboy and scolded the conductor Of
the car. Finally the CHEEKY friend re-
marked:
"What on earth is the matter with
you, Bob"'
"Well, to tell you the truth, my wife
is house cleaning"
"NIine has hers done in the summer,
when we are away was the CHEEKY
mans reply.
ono wonder you like the spring" said
Bob. and all the Car smiled
House cleaning now, though awful
enough, is nothing compared to what it
was years ago. When the carpets re-
manned up weeks; and men, hired by the
day, would not work, and took 50
long, it was much worse than today,
when one can telephone in the evening,
have the carpets token in the morning
and put down the following day.
Some firmly believe that the time is
coming when house cleaning, as we
know it, will not be necessary. With Il
system OF air tubes, through which the
air can be forced in great quantities, as
water through a hose. the dirt and SCOT
can be kept regularly cleaned and carpets
will not need to come up. Instead of
sweeping one will Use this continuance,
which has been used in some places, and
blow the dust from everything. This
will obviate the tearing of carpets which
comes from beating and tumbling.
A beautiful housekeeper was seen last
week hurriedly going down town about

the cause of her haste she replied:

DEMORALIZED.
Three Great Religious Gatherings
Affected by the Present
War Scare.

The war scare has completely demoral.
lied the plans for three great religious
gatherings. SO far as this country is con-
cerned, at least.
These gatherings are: The Worlds
Conference OF Young Women's Christian
Association Workers, to be held in Lon
don in June; the Worlds Third Sunday
School Convention, to be held in London
in July, and the, International Confer
ence of the Young Mems Christian Asso.
Citations, to be held at Basel, Switzerland,
in Jnly.
The Sunday school convention inter-
ests thousands of Americans, and there
had been planned two central receptions,
one at st. Louis and one at Chicago.
From these cities the delegates were to
travel in company to Boston, where, in
fremont Temple, a reception was to have
been given to them by the Massachusetts
Association On the night before sailing
The Young Women's associations are to
meet for the first time in a worlds
gathering, and they have been eight
years getting ready In all of these
meetings Americans lave been the prime
movers.
Now on account of the war talk the
bookings of delegates are being cancelled.
Secretary Smith, whose office is in the
International Committee headquarters in
Twenty-third street, New York, repre-
sents both the Young Mems and Young
Women's associations. He says that he
has cancelled the bookings at the rate OF
ten or twelve Il day, and that unless the
war scare vas over within two or three
weeks, which he much doubted, the
would be failures, for not
much would be done without the CO.
operation OF American delegates. This,
he added, would mean Il great sTt back
for missionary interests throughout tile
world.

A girl who used to laugh at conspicu
GUS plaid silk her mother had tucked
away in the attic and which she said
that she used to wear to church 30 wears
ago, is to have that same plaid made over
this spring and it will not be at all out o.
place at church. Plain papers seem to
be the most popular They throw out
the pictures and mirrors 10 good advan.
tage. They are more perishable. With
children whose little fingers can scarcely
keep off the papers, these plain effects are
hard to keep fresh, but in that case one
can use paper with small design.
A young housekeeper, whose little
girl is anxious to help to keep house, was
recently remarking the place for a mir
ror to be hung. Not long after little
Miss HOusekeeper was also marking the
paper, but all over the room. When
she saw her mother take soft cloth and
rub off the faint lines She too, took a
cloth and rubbed out her lines, which
were in another room. 1t is needless to
say that the room had to be repapered.
Women of today make themselves so
much more attractive while house clean

A woman writer who gave up coffee
recently found that she was unable to
continue her writing with any success
until she had resorted again to the stim-
ulating beverage. Without it her mind
was logy and heavy. The Medical Times
quotes an authority on the subject of
prescribing coffee as medicine in Ger.
tain states Of great debility and adds:
"Tea and coffee seem TO be much
alike in many respects, but the latter is
greatly preferable as to its sustaining
power IL would be great advantage
to our working classes and great help
toward the further development of So
cial sobriety if coffee were to come into
greatly increased use and if the ability
to make it well could be acquired. As
an example of the difference of effect of
tea and coffee upon the nerves the
writer notes what he believes many
sportsmen will confirm-that il is far
better to drink coffee than tea when
shooting. Tea, if strong or in any guam
tity, especially if the individual be not
in very robust health, will induce sort
of nervousness which is very prejudicial
to steady shooting. Under it's influence
one is apt to shoot too quickly, whereas
coffee steadies the hand and gives quiet
nerves +"
