How to Do II At the Smallest Cost Of Time

How to Do II At the Smallest Cost Of Time
and Trouble.
Such an easy thing, it seems, and
yet how many times out OF q hundred
is it done in the right way?
First. dust all the ornaments, and
take them out; dust plain furniture,
and let it follow; and then bring in
the dust sheets. Dust the large pieces
OF furniture and cover them, also the
pictures.
Now proceed to stuffed articles,
cushions and upholstery.
Brush these thoroughly with stiff
brush, noticing edgings, bindings and
cuttings.
Garry cushions and movable arti.
Giles out Of the room.
Brush the ceiling and wall with .
long feather broom, and if the room
is one much used, rub the wall with
the wall bag"
To make this, take a good square of
stout calico and fill it with powdered
plaster of Paris, tie it up firmly and
tightly with piece of stout string,
and rub the wall down with it. You
will find this very efficient as we'll as
an easy cleaner.
If the window curtains are left up,
~ they are at an ordinary weekly
sweeping, brush them both sides with
. soft clean brush.
If you do this regularly you will be
surprised to zee how long white lace
curtains, even, will keep their fresh,
clean look.
Try this way of cleaning the carpet
instead of the old with untidy tea
leaves:
Sprinkle damp salt sparingly over
the surface, and brush it Immediately
towards the fireplace. Then wiring q
clean cloth out of fresh cold water, to
which you may add little liquid am.
monia, and 60 over the whole carpet.
In this way it looks bright and clean.
Clean windowns, dust lodges, by
gathering up the dust, not flicking it
away to another place, and then see
that there are no dirty finger marks
on the paint.
Pick up the dust sheets 80 that the
dust is kept in them, take them out of
the room, bring in the furniture and
ornaments, and close the windows.
These methods should be used regu.
larly. They take no more time, and
do not make nearly the fuss of clean
ing day, when a maid creates disorder
in order to impress people with the
fact that she 10 at it again.
Besides this, it is far better plan to
thoroughly keep a room clean than to
have one hugely uncomfortable time
in making it 80.

family. She must not be craven when
the whoop of the Indian warned of a
dreadful danger. She must stand by
her husband, gun in hand.
How many women of to-day could
undertake wifehood under such condi-
tons? Few indeed. Not because the
modern American woman lacks cour-
age, but because she lacks as rule the
physical health which is the indispensa-
bic qualification for a life such as was
lived by the women of the past.
That is why good woman may be
bad wife. Virtue and goodness are ex-
cellent things in women, but to guide a
house and bear children demands above
all sound physical health.
WOMEN coNv1crs.
To a great number of women the
house they live In is almost on a par
with a prison. 1t is prison-like in the
monotonous regularity of daily duties !;
prison-like in the absence of all pleasure
In what is done or Joy in the doing.
And the reason is to be found in
womanly ill-health. Few women realize
how intimately the general health is re-
lated to the health of the delicate

Picked Onions.

Choose the small, silvery, white
onions for picking. Onions should
be added to every sort Of mixed pickle
and sometimes they are picked alone.
Take off the brown outer skin and
drop the onions into boiling water.
AS soon as they look clear remove
them with skinner and lay them
on a clean, dry cloth, cover with an
other cloth and let them remain until
cold. Then put them in glass Jars
and pour over them hot vinegar, not
quite boiling. Leave the jars uncov.
cred until the pickles are cold. These
will be found very appetizing to serve
with meats during the winter.

II you do not accustom yourself to
drink water regularly you are liable to
have the waste products of the issues
Of the body form faster than they are
removed. Great weakness and lam
guor on rising in the morning is gen.
orally due to large secretion Of these

hot or cold-just before retiring.
This materially assists in the process

ABOUT THE BABY.

If not warm enough, add another
long-sleeved shirt, but do not wrap il
up and keep it from the pure air.
When the days grow colder don't
wrap the baby up in two or three
shawls and then wonder why it
sneezes at every breath.
Let it get accustomed to have no
blankets or shawl about it, and it will
soon be able to Withstand slight
changes Of temperature.
When extra warmth il needed to
relieve collie, simple plan il the
warming by means of an inverted hot
saucer wrapped in flannel and placed
over the abdomen. This remedy will
quickly give relief.
Apply warm clothes to the feet and
abdomen if there is a severe spell OF
crying that cannot be hushed, and try
giving little hot water. This exter-
nal application of warmth il often
better than the customary doses OF
peppermint, etc.
But whatever Is done for the cry
ing spell, don't feed the baby to quiet
it, unless tbs hungry. 1t is distress
ing at times to sit and see the milk
forced through the lips of q fretting
baby in the foolish Imagination that
it must be hungry to cry 90.
Much depends upon the regularity
of an infants time of taking nourish-
ment, yet few seem to realize this.
But the important thing is to give
the nourishment regularly; whatever
time is chosen, do not shorten it be-
cause the baby is fretful. Remember
very often it is water and not food
that is needed to stop the peevishness
ofthe thirsty little mite of humanity.
Tho shortest time between meals
should not be less than an hour and q
half-better two hours.
