Care of Ones Clothes

Most people have heard that gUd
pens are all the better for rest. but
did you ever think the same thing
about clothes?
AS matter Of fact, it is so. Clothes
really require little rest If they are
10 maintain a spiclS and span appear
ance. The woman who wants to be
we'll dressed with a small. wardrobe
must bear this in mind. The theory
that in these days of rapidly changing
fashions the truest wisdom lies in buy
ing a suit and wearing it constantly
until worn out does not work we'll in
practice.
It is much wiser to have two OF
three pairs of shoes, two or three hats
several shirtwaists and a change OF
skirts, even If these have to be OF
cheaper quality, than 1t is to have but
one expensive outfit. Wear one hat
week or so and then put 1t away ano
forget you have II for awhile. 1t vii
come from retirement surprising yot
by its look of freshness.
Another good rule for the preserva-
tion Of clothing is never TO wear q
street gown in the house. This should
be an absolute rule. II so worn the,
will become "xneed." and will soor
hang in lines decidedly inartistic Th'
street toilette should be carefully re-
moved on entering the house, brushed
off and hung in the wardrobe on regu
lar hangers, so that shape viii be re
tained.

Hint to the Wise

In the city Of Chillicothe, Ohio, the
street car conductors are all women,
and they are said to be bright, intelli-
gent and courteous and in every way
efficient, giving satisfaction to the
company which employs them and to
patrons.
The city has had women conductors
for several years, ever since horses
gave way to trolleys and passengers
were no longer expected to drop their
fares in a box. The conductors have
never organized a union or gone out
on strike. They never have any trou-
BILE with their passengers.
The force consists of seven regulars,
one extra and one relief. Their only
uniform is a shirtwaist and their badge
of authority is a ribbon with the word
Conductor" printed on 1t. Some OF
them wear this pinned around neat
white caps and others wear it on pic
ture hats. They enjoy a day off every
week and one Sunday off in every sew
en- weeks. Their working hours are
arranged on a complex schedule that
makes their longest days work last
from $40 a. m. to 1890 D. m, witt
forty-five minutes off at. noon. Theii
pay is IS a week.
The conductors like the work anC
are hardened to all the jests made by
the facetious. They get on famouslN
with the motormen and with the male
passengers, who frequently make
themselves useful when a trolley jumps
the wire. The conductors seldom giv'
up their Jobs. except when they marry
and not always then.

always anxious for the health of her
little one and Is then particularly care
full in feeding. MIX sours quickly and
other food IS uncertain. Even in spite
of caution, sickness sometimes creeps
in and then the right food is more
necessary than ever.
"Our baby boy two years old began
I'm August TO have attacks Of terrible
stomach and bowel trouble. The ply
sician said his digestion was very bad
and that if IL had been earlier In the
summer and hotter weather we would
surely have lost him.
FINALLY we gave baby Grape-Nuts
food feeding Il several times the first
day and the next morning he seemed
bel.ter and brighter than he had been
for many days. There was a great
change i'm the condition of his bowels
and in three days they We're entirely
normal. He is now well and getting
very strong aud fieshy and we know
that Grape Nuts saved his life for he
was a very, very IN baby. Grape-Nuts
food mus have wonderful properties to
effect such cures as this.
I'VE grown-ups in our family all
use Grape Nuts and also Postum in
place of coffee with the result that we
never any OF us have any coffee ills
but are we'll and strong" Name given

The reason Grape-Nuts food relieves
bowel trouble i'm babies or adults is be-
cause the starch of the grain is predi-
gested and does not tax the bowels
nor ferment like white bread, potatoes
and other forms of starchy food.

Some Sash Hints

Sashes are much liked, but are sell
dom knotted at the waist and are usu-
ally combined with the broad girdle
the sash ends coming from beneath the
girdle. The sash must have its ends
finished with fringe with lace inset
with rosettes, or in some ornamental
fashion, and the ends are frequently
lnotted several times in their length
although this idea is not so conducive
to artistic effect as the free, soft
lengths.
