OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
What Can Be Accomplished by Man.
aGement-Various SeasOnabIe
Suggestions.

L once knew farmers wife who
had some leisure and never seemed
tired, though her pantry was always
well supplied with freshly cooked food,
and everything was clean and in per-
feet order all over her house, so I
asked her secret, says Mrs. NJ. A. C.
Maskell in the Troy Times.
She looked up at me with a mySteri-
Gus smile, but went on with her sew
ing.
so you don't intend to tell me?"
L continued. Il wish you would, for
L cannot see how you can get so much
done when l never see you doing it.
Now, there is your closet, full of pre-
serves and jelly, yet never see you
making 1t. You always have clean
clothes to wear, yet 1 never see you
washing and ironing. Everything
seems to go on like clock work, vet
you never seem to be making extra ex-
ertion."
II don't need to, for 1 do every
thing as it comes along" she said.
Many women put off everything to
the last minute, then almost kill
themselves to get through.
Yes, my closet is filled with fruit,
for L make a practice of putting up
two or three cans every day. 1 find
it much easier to do small amounts
each day than great quantities all at
once. So it is with my washing and
ironing. l wash my clothes like 1 do
my dishes, whenever they need it.
They wash much more easily, and can
stand tiny wash once day much bet
ter than a whole weeks wash in one
day. I keep ahead of my work by TAX
ing up small portions at time"
So that was her secret! And I
watched her fashioning some little
jackets out of her husbands cast-off
clothing, and I noticed she gathered up
the scraps, cut them into strips which
she sewed together and wound into
balls.
Il always make my carpet in this
way" she said. "It is so much work
and expense, cooking and getting ready
for sewing bees. Iprefer sewing-then
I know how it is done, when I do it
myself"
That accounted for the thick, pretty
rag carpet on her kitchen and dining
room floors.

evenings are the best part of the whole
day, for John and I spend them with
our books, papers and music. We don't
want to become so absorbed with the
cares of life as to have no time for inn
provement, for the soul needs culture
more than anything else"
'But get behind with my work, and
never get caught up" I answered,
wearily.

Flushing, Mich, Jan. z, 1901 (Spe-

in the cause of Temperance and Social
Reform in Michigan is Mrs. 2. A. Pass
more of this place. She is prominent
and very enthusiastic w. c. L. U. wom-
an, and one who never loses an oppor-
tunity to strike blow against the
demon of Intemperance. Mrs. Pass
more has suffered much bodily pain
during the last three years through
Kidney and Bladder Trouble. At times
the pain was almost unbearable, and
the good lady was very much dis
tressed. She tried physician after
physician, and each in turn failed to
relieve her, let alone effect cure.
Home remedies suggested by anxious
friends were applied, but all to no pur-
pose. At last some one spoke of Dodd's
Kidney Pills as great Remedy for
all Kidney and Bladder Diseases, and
Mrs. Passmore decided to try them.
She did, and is now a well woman. She
has given the following statement for
publications:
At different times in the past three
years, I have suffered severely with
Kidney and Bladder Trouble, and after
trying four of the best physicians l

remedies suggested by kind friends,
with lutte or no relief from anything.
I decided to try Dodd's Kidney Pills.
