RENTING FROM WOMEN.
An Observant Man Tells Of His E1per
ences with Them.

Speaking Of the want column said
an observant man, II noticed a peculiar
thing I'm this connection n few days
ago, and there is good bit Of phlos-
ophy behind II in these days when
women are playing such a conspicuous
part In the affairs Of business. Some
person, whether n man or woman
do not know, advertised FOR n small
furnished cottage, and he tackled this
sentence on To the end Of his advcr-
tiscmcnt Prefer to rent from n man.
Here Is lesson for you. When I

citation. and in bad feeling generally.
"They are plausible renters. They
make fine promises, but rarely keep
them. In business women are not re-
liable, so far n my experience goes.
| do not mean to say that they arc
wicked and designing in these matters.
They simply promise too much. |
suppose il Is because they talk too
much. Speaking much while making
a trade il unwlsc If you want the
deal to stick. The short. categorical
answer is the thing in business. But
you can't hold n woman down TO this
rule. She Is too fond of talking. One
cannot talk all day without committing
oneself in some way. but women do
not seem TO realize It.
"Of course. there are some excep-
tons But, looking at the thing in a
general way, am inclined to commend
the wisdom Of the man who put the
sentence, prefer to rent from n man
after his advertisement. Hes right
about it and evidently speaks by the
card."-New Orleans Tines Democrat.

In preparing the bag for use boiling
water should not be put in It, and
neither should 1t be more than half

the bag on your lap before putting in
the stopper and carefully press out
the steam. This makes the bag softer
as 1t Is relieved of the pressure the
steam makes.
When not using the bag drain out
the water. let it hang bottom side up
for little while. then take It down
and with the mouth blow little air
into II, Just enough to keep the inside
from coming together. as 1t will often
do If there Is no air I'm 1t. in which case
the bag Is quite su g to be ruined in

n few drops of ammonia. let 1t remain
