Does the average housekccper know
how Important an article OF household
furnishing Is the alarm clock7
A young friend Of mine, about to
marry, said to me: Il intend to pur-
chase as the first article for my home
the most necessary and important one,
as an omen for the future. Now, what
ihrll II be?"
ut my reply, "An alarm clock" she
appeared so surprised that delivered
n little lecture on the value and uses
Of the same. somewhat as follows:
Tue average home maker and home
keeper breaks down frequently, not 50
much from overwork as from lack of
rest, for there is n vast difference be-
tween the two. She just .keeps going"
all the time all the long day through
and often into the night and never
thinks Of conserving her energy or her
strength by the frequent brief resting
times she might have did she know tho
use and value Of an alarm clock.
There may be, perhaps. five or ten
minutes before the bread need como
o,-t Of the oven and 1t has reached
that stage and the temperature Of the
oven is such that It requires no looking
after. She might Just as well drop
down on the couch for FIVE or ten min
utes' rest, and she is SO tired she may
fall asleep and not awake until the
bread is overdone, says the Ladies'
World.
Again, the children's monday lunch
is ready, but they won't be home from
school for fifteen minutes. Lunch
must be on the table when they reach
the house. else there is fair probable
ity that they Will be late for the after
noon session, and 80 she dare not rest

MRS. AIDA F. HOWE.
A Milwaukee society Woman nnd a
Famous Dairy Farmer.

A Milwaukee society Woman nnd a
EnmOus Dairy Farmer.
Eleven years ago Mrs. AIDA II.
IIowic was a Milwaukee society wom-
an living in house with brown
stone front In Grand avenue and fol-
lowing an ordinary round of clubs and
card playing. Now she is renowned
through the United States and Canada
as the best authority on Jersey cattle
breeding and dairying in the country.
1t is no uncommon thing for the mil
lionairc class OF eastern gentleman
farmers" and for rich stock fanciers
and ranchmon from the west to drive
into Sunny Peak farm, which is about
seven miles southwest OF Milwaukee,
to inspect famous prize winners and
to inquire into the records which some
of her cows have made In butter and
cream.
This Is not all. Mrs. Howie Is on
the staff Of the Winconsln Agricultural
college as lecturer, and some of her
male competitors, who found plenty of
cause for mirth In the strange Ideas
she introduced ut Sunny Peak when

WHAT rnp cow WIZ no.

We know OF q western community,
the land rather broken and hilly, but of
fairly good quality, where for forty
years the farm erS have been trying to
get living and save money by rails
ing corn and oats TO sell, with the re-
suit up to two years ago that they as
well as their land had been getting
steadily poorer. 1t came to the point
that about twenty bushels of both oats
and corn were all they could raise
per acre. There were no cows, no cIo-
yer, no manure spreaders-just oats
and corn ami corn and oats for rota-
ton. Nearly every farm carried good
husky mortgage, and whatever comfort
the people got had to be obtained from
religion, for there was none to be had
in an agricultural way. These farms
were natural blue grass and clover
lands. but some way these people could
not appreciate the fact that they had
one of the best dairy sections of the
west, and so they kept on year after
year raising long nosed hogs and corn
and buying butter and running up
store bills, just getting a little poorer
each year. A change came two or
three years ago. Some man heard the
COW gospel preached and got some
cows. He did SO well that others took
1t up until great agricultural revolu-
ton was soon in progress. Today this
community is one of the leading dairy
and butter producing sections of the
west. Less acres of corn are raised,
but twice as many bushels to the acre
as formerly; everybody sows clover,
the people have quit running store bills
ana pay as they go, the mortgages are
looking sick, the soil Is getting better
and more productive each year, big
red barns are showing up all over tho
country, more and better hogs are rails
ed and, TO sum 1t all up In a sentence,
the entire community Is being regen-
Grated by the COW. This Is an old
story-always works this way. Why
not try 1t If in grain raising, grain
selling financial hole? We will give
guarantee that it will work with you
as 1t always has with others. Put
twenty cows on the quarter section
farm, feed them right and care for
them and you will work out your own
financial salvation just as thousands of
other men have done. Don't like to
milk" you say. Well, then, keep ON In
the old way, and the settlement of your
estate will be mighty short job for
the probate court.

she began, are now glad to 20 and
see how she gets her wonderful re-
suits in dairy work and stock breed
ing which have left the best Of them
miles behind.
When Mrs. Howie began her opera
tions with 100 acre farm which had
been left to her, she was absolutely
ignorant Of the business, but she stud
led the question thoroughly and used
the most approved methods, sanitary
and otherwise together with many
original schemes of her own, till today
she stands unrivaled In her chosen pro
fession.
One of the things which Mrs. Howie
has demonstrated and which she thor
oughly believes is that stock farming
Is a good and practical business for
women. She says that no woman would
better undertake 1t, however, unless
she can do anything and everything
that is necessary in a pinch.-Chlcago

An authority ON letter and all CORE
spondencc paper declares unreservedly
for white paper, while acknowledging
that women may use colors when they
are In good taste. Pale color paper
tints only should be their choice. For
formal correspondence letters or de-
vices should be stamped, not printed.
Monograms or initials unless uncom-
monty well executed had better be
omitted and Roman type substituted.
says Vogue. In this respect American
taste is thought superior to foreign.
The same authority advocates pictorial
headings upon special country house
stationery, these to be printed These
landscape headings are much in vogue
in England and should find equal favor
with us. The chance for having charm
ingly suggestive and attractive plctur-
esque sketches made for this purpose
lends itself to a vista of possibilities
OF beauty not to be neglected by own

SIMPLICITY IN LIVING.

a study of simplicity In housekeep-
ing would Tighten the work Of many q
tired housewife. There is n great deal
of fretting and Eard work done In
many homes solely with reference ts
what outsiders win say and think
The social tyrant Is a most merciless
one, and few women there are who
have the nerve to defy 1t. Still. as be
tween killing ones self In order to pla-
cate this tyrant and taking life easier
In defiance Of what anybody thinks or
says. We would just naturally take the
easier path and let society chew the
rag all 1t wants to. And. now we are on
this subject, we would like to say that
bees use she does not want her daugh-
ter 10 work as hard rs she did when
girl and because 1t involves some lit
tiers to efficiently help In the household
work, there Is many mother Who not
only does her girls a positive injury,
but makes her own burdens very much
harder to carry. There should be some
portion OF the work of the home for
every member of the household to do
and do regularly. We call to mind one
mother Whose girls were all boys. four
Of them, and she had so trained these
little rascals that there was hardly
any Kind OF hoiiscwork which they
could not do and DO well. Yet how few
mothers there arc who would ever
think for nsoment OF training boy
to be useful domestic help7

Care of Butter.

A successful housewife, whose early
years of somewhat narrow means
taught her to study the food question
carefully, says that If butter exudes
milk on being cut 1t shows that the
butter has been imperfectly washed
and will turn" twice as quickly as it
should, consequently it must be eaten
rs soon as possible If one hopes to
save it." If butter that has just been
bought exudes water wien cut. the
butter is adulterated and the house
wife may have the satisfaction Of
knowing that she has been swlndled.
Water has been paid for at butter
prices.
Persons who like unsalted butter"
she goes on, "but find 1t hard to get,
can obtain fair substitute by taking
the ordinary salted butter, soaking it
IN water that is constantly changed;
then, by working the butter in fresh
water, 1t will be almost as nice as the
real thing.
IF butter has to be softened 1t is
wasteful to set 1t on the stove or In
the oven. Some of the butter is sure
70 run to oil, which few people like to
eat. When the oil hardens again Its
nature has been changed and dcterlo-
rated. Besides, the plate is usually COW
cred with thin film, which it is i'm
possible to get off and which is there
fore washed away with the plate.
Moist heat is better than dry heat, if
the butter must be softened by arti-
fetal means, so set the plate with the
butter on or in basin Of hot water."-

TIghts For the ChiIdren.

Children from three to eight or ten
years Of age always have neat ap-
pearance when black tights are worn.
They may be made from pair of
stockings when the feet are worn be-
yond use. Rip the seams down from
the top to the depth required, then
seam the opposite sides together for a
small child or insert an extra piece to
make the size desired, says London
Queen. The top is finished with hem
and elastic inserted to fit the waist.
The bottoms may be allowed to extend
down to the ankles or cut off at the
knee, where elastic may be inserted TO
keep them In place. In winter they are
especially fitting. even for younger chill
dren.

REAL MINT SAUCE.
A Recipe That la vouched For by an
Experienced Cook.

A Recipe That Ia Youched For by an
Experienced Cook.
Mint sauce is usually delusion and
a snare, being merely very sharp vine
gar and few fragments of tasteless
mint leaves. Real mint sauce is an
other thing. Here Is n recipe vouchcd
for by an experienced cook: Let the
water from the cold water tap run over
bunch of mint until 1t is perfectly
clean Of dust, strip the leaves from the
stalks, tear them in small pieces and
put In bowl Pour boiling water
over the mint and cover the bowl close
ly. A little sugar may be added with
the hot water, as it helps to bring out
the flavor OF the leaves. Make rouN
of tablespoonful or more of the gravy
from the pan in which tie lamb was
roasted, with a little -four. Add the
water in which the mint has soaked
and thin with moro of the gravy and
little water. The sauce is not to be q
gravy. Season with salt and paprika.
Unless strong flavor of mint Is liked,
strain the leaves from the sauce before
serving.
The simplest mint sauce Is made by
sleeping the chopped mint in boiling
water, about half a cupful to hand
full of mint, covering the bowl and plac-
ing where 1t will cool quickly. Let 1t
stand for three-quarters of an hour,
when add little sugar. salt. paprika
and four tablespoonfuls OF mild vinc-
gar.-New York Post.

NURSERY NOTES.

Thoroughly cleanse the nostrils be-
fore going to sleep. This gives free
nasal respiration and with children pre-
vents their becoming mouth breathers.
Children that are delicate or ailing
require a great deal of kindness, but
firm hand as well, or they will become
unbearable cranks.
Dry children's ears carefully, both in
the folds and behind, using very soft
towel or old handkerchief. Careless
drying of this delicate organ will pro-
duce deafness. N
Dried grapes or raisins should be
given with caution to children, and, in
deed, they are better altogether with
out them. for they are liable to disorder
the digestive organs.
Small children should be allowed to
drink as much water as they like. 1t

velvet, is nearly always becoming
Flowers and ribbons are the orna-
ments that usually adorn the hair in
the evening, but they are generally
mixed with spangles, jewels and spar
