Save Your Strength.

Save Your Strength.
A regular routine, and one that is
best adapted to your conditions, will
do a great deal to tighten your house
hold work. There is just so much that
must be done each week, and a study
of the problem will enable you to di-
vide the work nicely. A housekeeper
devised the following program for the
week and says she finds it greatly
lightens her work. Experience taught
her that a little more in the middle
and less at the b eginning and end OF
the week accomplishes better results
at less expediture of nervous strength.
Instead of washing, she devotes Mon
day to Strengthening Sundays disor-
der, also doing such mending and al
tering as may be necessary before
laundering. Then she puts the clothes
to soak and washes on Tuesday.
On Wednesday she irons the clothes
and cleans the silver in daily use. This
latter work, if done every week, takes
very little time and the silver always
looks we'll kept. Thursday is given
over to sweeping and busting upstairs,
also washing the windows if the
weather permits. Friday she sweeps
downstairs. On Saturday she cleans
the porch, gas stove or range and
kitchen linoleum. This work done she
sets about to do all she can for the
meals on Sunday, thus having very lit
tie to do on Sunday.
Each morning, when she goes to
make the beds, she takes with her the
carpet sweeper and covered broom,
whose use greatly lessons the weekly
cleaning. In the afternoons she does
her sewing, reserving hand work for
the evenings. She finds this system
very effective in caring for an eight
room house, where she does all the
work, including the sewing for three
small children.

Another Effective System.

Another housekeeper has mapped
out the following system for her house
work and says she finds it distinctive
advantage She allots certain work to
certain days of the week, with the con-
sequence that nothing falls behind and
the work is less of drudgery than
when she went at it haphazard. She
attends Sunday evening church serv-
ices and finds herself somewhat tired
the next day, SO does not wash then.
Instead, she attends to replenishing
the larder and getting ready for Tues
day. The Sunday clothes are brushed
and put away, the house set to rights
throughout, some extra cooking IS
done, the soiled clothes are gone over,
stains removed and mending, best done
before washing, is attended to-
On Tuesday the washing is done
and the clothes sprinkled ready for
the ironing which is to be done the
next day. Thursday the mending is
done, also such extra work as arises
each week. Friday is sweeping day,
and the whole house, except the kitch-

ance. The crop is sufficiently valuable
to make it we'll worth while to try, try
again. The patch lately set, that was
found failure, is on that part of my
original bed that proved a failure and
was plowed up I have just recalled
that when I came here sixteen years
ago there was a hedge of pine trees
ran through the lot where the aspara-
gus has failed to do well. This would
indicate that cleaned up pine land
requires many years of cultivation be-
fore asparagus would succeed thereon.
Twice in my experience the asparagus
beetle has been very troublesome, and
both times l have quickly gotten rid
of them by turning in a flock of chick
ems.

Suggestions for Asparagus Growers.
(Beniamin T. Wilbur.)

Recent articles in the agricultural
press on asparagus growing have led
me to think that the result of my ex-
perience and observation for the past
ten or twelve years, if told, might pos
sibly help others. My first experience,
about twelve or fourteen years ago,
was to set about one-half acre on land
of sandy nature, part of it decidedly
poor. In two or three years | became
disguised because of no good results. l
then plowed up half of the poorest part

GOVERNOR SIGNS
IMPORTANT BILL
Anti Discrimination Act Be-
comes a State
Law
VICTORY FOR INDEPENDENTS
Oil Kings Hold on Iowa Will Be
Reductions Must Be Made
Uniform all over the State in the
Price of Petroleum Products.

Des Moines.- Governor ,Cummins
has signed the anti-discrimination Dill
which Is calculated to relieve the PEG
pie of Iowa from the grasp of the
Standard Oil Company.
| Hereafter when John d. Rockefeller
desires to drive competitor out of
business in Iowa he will have to do it
! by furnishing better oil or better SER
vice, for he cannot do it by temporar-
| lily cutting prices.
independent oil people believe that
| this will open Iowa to the Kansas oil
| product and reduce the price of oil to
Iowa consumed several millions OF dol
lars year. 1t will permit competition
in the Iowa fields in disposing of oils.
The measure was passed by the last
general assembly and provides that
when company reduces the price of
petroleum or its products in one local.
ity in the state an identical reduction
must be made in every other part Of
the state. .n
So an oil company cannot sell oil
in Des Mones, for instance, at less
price than to other towns in Iowa
the price is cut in one town it must
be cut in all. This will prevent com.
pany cutting the price in Des Moines,
for instance, to drive out the compe-
tition here, while the price in all other
parts of the state is left at the old
figure or increased sufficiently to
make up the loss in the one town
where competition is being destroyed.
The result will be that prices will
not be cut by the Standard, but that
the average prices will be reduced in
the state is certain for the history of
Kansas competition under similar
law demonstrates it in that common.
wealth. The Independent people to
build up business will naturally start
out with lower price for oil than the
Standard, which will force the Stand
ard to lower level. This will affect
the whole state alike.
The claim is made by the Standard
that the law is unconstitutional and
doubtless the company will make a
test of it. This can be done by cutting
prices in single locality and await
ing prosecution under the law. The
independent oil people contend that
the act is perfectly constitutional.
The rule governing vetoes of acts of
the legislature is that only when it is
beyond a reasonable doubt that
statute is unconstitutional is an execu.
tive justified in vetoing an act on that
ground. Governor Cummins was hot
satisfied that the law was unconsti-
tutional on the showing made by the
attorneys for the Standard Oil people
and therefore signs the measure.
Their theory was that the singing
out of petroleum and it's products, the
dealers in which alone are affected by
the law, made it class legislation;
and if it did not appear on its face to
be class legislation. nevertheless 1t
was aimed at the Standard Oil com.
pany, which, in itself, made of the act
class legislation.
In these views the governor could
not concur.
