does her own work, avoiding especially
dishes requiring extra work on Monday,
providing the best meals OF all ON sun

system regulating all the housework, /
making it q measure as wen as sci

There are so many labor savers in these
progressive days, that the work OF /
house can be very materially reduced
and the household. while not an adver-
tising medium. win point out from
time to time and advise the use Of such |
helps as experience has proven to be
practical and thoroughly good.
In the first place, abolish that bane
Of every woman's existence and alb
horrence Of every man. the semi-annual
house cleaning.
Conditions prevailing in these days
different from those Of our grand
mothers times. We no longer find II
necessary to take up carpets and put
down mattings each spring and vice
versa each autumn, because the ra-
tional woman recognizes the cleanii-
ness. healthfulness and general convea-
ience of rugs laid over hard wood floors,
or floors stained. or floors covered with
fine japanese mating that is just as
easy to put down as an ingram carpet
and wears for years. The weekly
sweeping becomes a much easier exer-
else. when these can be carried out and
cleaned in the open air. The life OF
a,rug.depends a, more on its careful hand,
ling than upon It's use and wear on
the foor. and it is death TO it to hang
II up to be beaten. or TO shake it. Turn
it upside down and with strong
switch in each hand, go over it thor
ohghlS whipping every inch OF It and
diving the dirt out through the right
side. Now turn il over. brush il off
and wipe with a cloth wrung out Of
clear water containing a little am
z mopia. After sweeping the floor OF
your room, go over the walls with a
Canfon flannel covered broom. wipe
the MRints and wash the windows, so
overN4ne furniture with an oiled cloth
anb your room is house cleaned. Take
one room in the house each week for
this treatment and you will have no
need of the disastrous visitation which
we formerly considered a necessary
evil. Use Bon Ami for the windows and
all glass, il makes window washing a
matter of minutes instead of hours.
Take Thursday for sweeping day, using
your time on the one room, the midday
meal is arranged in deference to it and
supper is the meal for that day The
other rooms will only need a brushing
out and dusting for each one win have
its turn in good time for its hard clean
ing. Plan your day to include a rest
hour, your mind and nerves win need il
f; II your body does not, and your hus-
band and children viii profit. by it as
well as yourself. Bake on Friday to
give yourself the time you viii need
for. extra work on Saturday. in prepar-
4 ing for the two following days. So far
I as possible and with a little fore
& thought TO plan with. II IS more of a
I possibility than you may think, finish
up your work IN the morning, and use
4 the afternoon for resting and exerc' Sc.
