Hemming the Napery.

The French hem, or the "damask
stitch will be found most satisfac-
tory for the hemming Of table linen.
This differs from the ordinary hem
ming stitch in the way in which 1t is
sewed. Turn the hens same as for or
binary hemming, then fold the hens
back and overland or over-and-over
stitch them. BY this manner, when
the linen is Numbered, it will be very
difficult to see right or wrong side
For napkins the hens should be made
narrow as possible and for tablecloths
they should be from a quarter to half
an inch in width, but the narrow width
is preferable. Only the best grade of
linen should be bought, If possible. 1t
lasts longer, and the more frequently
it is laundered, if done carefully at
home, the more beautiful and smooth
the surface demonstrating Dis
patch.

The one thing that every man is
willing to share is trouble.

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be be superior to
any other brand, but because each l0c
package contains 16 ozs., while all the
other kinds contain but IL ozs. 1t is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
Defiance Starch will use no other
Quality and quantity must win.

Common Sense For Housekeepers.


The busy housekeeper, whose time is
mostly spent indoors, should devote
five minutes each morning, noon and
night to simple exercises, in order to
develop and ward off diseases. A cor
rect standing position-head up, chin
in. chest up, hips back-should be prac-
ticed always, even when washing
dishes. 1t will soon become habit
and add more elegance to the appear
ance than any amount of money spent
in fine clothes. Deep breathing should
be practiced almost constantly. Have
always an abundance of fresh air and
all the sunlight you can possibly admit
to your rooms. Housework is excellent
exercise if one goes about 1t in the right
way. Have the sink and cooking table
so high that you need not bend over
when at work. If one constantly stands
or sits in STOPPING position, the in
ternal organs become crowded, and dis
ease is often the result Remember
that good housekeeping is easy house
keeping, and no woman need wear her.
self out Her health is of prime impor-
lance when the happiness and comfort
of family depend on her. The woman
who does her work alone must plan
Systematically. and study to save time
and strength. in order to have the rec
reation necessary TO the well being of
every one. Instead of spending time
and good material in making pies
cakes, etc, which often impair the di
gestion, study rather the simplest foods
which can be prepared with less labor
and are valuable to repair waste

Another Duel Story.

Mark Twain's duel story, told recent
ly recalls another in which the duel
was also fought with pistols. Five
rounds had been shot and no one even
scratched. A conference was held by
the seconds, who decided that honor
had been satisfied, and 1t was sug-
gested that the contestants shake
hands. One Of the seconds remarked,
THAT is quite unnecessary. Their

Several examples of the busy mans
language have lately been overheard.
How is your wife?" inquired a man.

the laconic reply. This economy OF

to various maladies; but later, no
doubt, such expressions as I'VE

enough.-The Taller.

newspaper ridicule; and that in its

Too Strenuous for Children.

DR.. Haecher (Munchener Med.
Woch.) says that the method of hard
ening children by means Of cold
baths is not only unnecessary but it
is oftentimes injurious. 1t increases
rather than diminishes their suscepti-
bility to "colds," thus inducing coryza,
throat affections, bronchitis and pneu-
monia.
