Hints For The
HOusekeeper

The hot weather Of our scorching
summers would seem n great deal less
oppressive if we had garb and shelter
better atted to nrotNt us against II.
True enough, we wear thin clothing
and cpen our windows y ide as soon as
June begins, but all the same our GUS
tomary garments are essentially winter
coverings and our houses are built to
guard us against cold rather than heat.
In the opics, where it is hot all the
year roun :. white persons seldom suffer
from the heat as much as do we of the
temperate zone in summer That is be-
cause all of the concomitants and ma
chinery Of life are there designed with
a single eye to combating high tenn
peratures. Houses are built of nom
conducting materials. with high ceilings
and peaked. sloping roofs. and in place
of glass windows there are wooden
ialouses, which admit every vagrant
breeze. In front are wide verandas, and
if the house is in city cool and
shady courtyard is in the rear. Run

us to initiate him entirely. Few of us
can have both summer houses and win
ter houses. and our weather is too var
liable to permit of the true tropical
wardrobe. But we might copy with
profit some of the things that these
exiles have learned by experience to do.
We might wear more white duck; we
might borrow the pith helmet; we
might abondon the heavy leather shoe,
and we might find time for the siesta.
To do these things might cost us a few
extra dollars. but the investment would
be one of the enormous returns.-Balti-

envelope there is no comfort until a
better brand OF climate Is dealt out
by Chief Moore, Of the weather bu-
reau. There is also another trouble.
The post office department issues two
styles Of stamps, the summer stamp
and the winter stamp.
Mr.. Madden admitted the other day
that there was an unusual number OF
complaints about the stamps not stick.
ing, while he said upon investigation
Of these complaints were found to be
unjust. For instance" he said.
there is a complaint from a business
man in New York. We sent an agent
to investigate, and found that in his
establishment a man had been in the
habit Of wetting the stamp by taking
a big sponge and drawing 1t across the
back Of the sheet OF stamps. wiping
the mucilage completely off.
while every complaint we have
run down has turned out to be with
out sufficient foundation, there must
be something wrong or we wouldn't
get so many. The gum is exactly tho
same as that used last year, when
there were practically no complaints;
so the fault can't be there. My opin-
ion Is that there is something in the
atmospheric conditions which causes
this. We have had very peculiar
weather and there must be sometime
in it which takes the stick out Of C.
gum. We have WI kinds Of gum,
hard and soft, one for winter, and it
Imay be that some of these people have
been using stamps hat were issued
last summer. We try TO prevent that
by not selling summer stamps in tho
winter, but sometimes people saw
them up"
