CLEAN HOUSE zoo SOON.
A Common Mistake That Is Made by
American Housewives.

Most housewives commence to clean
house too soon. When it is too early too
dump the furnace or put away the stoves,
for fear OF "colds" for the family, it is
too soon to think of housekeeping.
housekeeping before the furnace is
out, means a house that must be cleaned
again before the summer is half over,
declares Mary Taylor-Ross in the April
H~ousekeeper. Then, too, if it is too cold
to be without a fire, it is too cold to have
the house open, and the things out of
doors airing. So try, first of all, post
poning the date of cleaning house until
much later than usual. Wait until it is
sufficiently warm to have the stoves
taken down, or the furnace dumped, un-
til all the windows can be thrown wide
to let in the air and sunlight that are
worth more than all the scrubbing to
make the home a healthful place in
which to live.
What would we think of a dressmaker
who could not tell what she had done
with our goods, our trimmings or our lin.
ings? What would we think of the law.
J yer who said "Oh, yes, l remember see.
ing such a paper somwhere, but l can't
just remember where; I'll hunt it up in
a few days? This in reply to our re.
quest for a certain paper we had en-.
trusted to his keeping. We would a,
once say that it was a very poor sort
a lawyer, and d worse kind of dress.
maker who didn't keep tract of their
clients belongings in a more business.
like way! And yet-remember the things
you put away last year when YOU clean
ed house, that you have not been able tc
lind since! Think Of the numbers Of
things you find every time YOU clean
house; articles you had forgotten that
you possessed! Tkis speaks for itself
and no home can be run without friction
until business methods are applied tc
the machinery of that home. Then vii
there be no more "white slaves" ne
more "~Americanitis" among housewives

stock for slaughter and the product on
the block il the packers were o getting
the large profit the retailer must be get
ting it, which caused a Washington re-.
taller to demonstrate with him declaring
his profit was only 40 per cent. Did you
ever note such philanthrophy? During
the boomiest days of the live stock in
dustry, as a live stock grower, l was
tickled to a high degree of satisfaction if

Last year live stock growers suffered
general losses and many fortunes were
wiped out. 1t is time somebody Jared
loose to encourage a more active con-
sumption of meat.

Washington, D. C., March 81, 1904.
To The Press:
Since leaving Dickinson the day be-
fore St. Patrick's day, l have had many
pleasan, experiences, beginning with
meeting friends in Fargo and enjoying
DR.. )arrow's banquet, thence to Madi-
son, Wisconsin, where my wife and l

On my arrival in Washington, n of
the frs! friends l met was Col. w. r..
Perkins Of Nome, Alaska, a guest at the
New Willard and away up in G, but he
is the same old "Perk' and X. c. c. H.
of North Dakota, with a hearty grip.
When Perk gets his silk tile on, topping
that Van Dyke beard, Prince Albert and
other good clothes in evidence, | feel as
though l had come down here with my
ranch clothes on. He was going by on a
street car as alighted from a car at the
Capitol. He sacrificed his fare and got
off and there was a display of mutual
gladness. We then found our Congress
men at the House Of Representatives
and that meant another cordial exper-
fence. Spalding and Marshall do credit
to North Dakota.
There is evidence of vigor and indus
try about the North Dokotans in Wash
ington. They are evidently here for
work and are doing their duty with ener-
gy and intelligence.
When the bee may be buzzing in the
political bonnets of individuals in North
Dakota for congressional or senatorial
honor, a trip to the National Capitol
would convince them, as viewed in a
patriotic spirit, that we are we'll repre-
scented and that a fair measure of reward
is due for faithful service. Senator
Hansbrough is still proud of old mar
Hanson of Hansonborough and his Nor:
wegian ancestry, but seriously there j:
nothing small about Senator Hansbrougl
excepting his salary. l think all Sena
tors and Congressman are lacking some
what in self appreciation or they woult
raise their own salaries. Senator Nc
Cumber is not exactly handsome, but hi
is we'll groomed and looking fine; be
sides that, he has brains.
was with H. R. Lyon one day talk
ing to Congressman Spalding and Mar
shall at the capitol when Alexander Nc
Kenzie of Bismarck came along, and hi
looked as if had flushed a conspiracy O
something.
Today l called on Secretary of Agri
culture Wilson, a good type of the dem
ocratic gentleman of integrity, am
straightforward purpose. He told m
that his Department was ready to tax

North Dokota as soon as the weathe
permits and notice is received from tn
