METHOD IN hoUsEWoRK.
Irregularity and Want Of Methsd
Sure to Result in Loss of Time,
Strength and Temper.

A proper arrangement of the differ
snt items of household work should
be the chief aim and object Of every
housewife. Irregularity and want Of
method invariably result in loss of
time, temper and strength.
Work done by fits and starts, with
Intervals of idleness, tends to cause con-
fusion in any household. Many women
otherwise Intelligent and energetic
seem to be quite incapable of conduct
ing their household affairs with any
degree of method.
They attempt too much at a time,
appear to be always busy, and yet
one sees no end to the confusion that
reigns around them. This want Of
method could easily be remedied if the
work OF each week were planned be-
forenand. according to the convenience
Of each home.
Every day should claim its own du-
ties, which should be so arranged that
one days work will not interfere with
another. II this is done it will be an
easy matter to get through the daily
routine without overworking.
Although the daily routine may be
properly arranged, yet there are many
housekeepers who are so slow in their
methods that the ordinary work of the
household is never finished until late
at night. Work should be estimated
by what is done, not by the number Of
hours 1t takes to complete it.
On the other hand, there are many
young learners who are so anxious to
finish their household tasks in as short
a time as possible that these are often
very fmperfectly done. In house
holds where a servant is kept it is
sometimes necessary to draw up Q
time table for her guidance
Care must be taken that the time set
apart for the various items of house.
work is long enough to allow these to
be thoroughly done and also that the
arrangement is such that both mis-
tress and servant will have some de-
gree Of leisure every day.
In many we'll regulated houses a
time tabse is hung on the kitchen wall,
with the work of each day carefully
noted, as well as the time to be de-
voted to each item. The work of each
household can easily be arranged so
that there is little to be done on the
last day of the week, which most peo-
pie regard as a half holiday.
An early start must be made every
day. In all households, whether great
or small. each apartment should be
thoroughly cleaned once a week 1t is
a good plan to have day set apart for
each room, and one day every two
weeks at least ought to be devoted to
the cleaning and arrangement of cup
boards and what is known as "odd
corners. Harris Neil.

A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became n
miliar to the Public.

The story of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people is rather
interesting.
As the story goes the possessor Of
the hand was with some friends In
photographers one day and while talk
Ing, held up a piece of candy. The
pose of the hand with its perfect con-
tour and faultless shape attracted the
attention Of the artist, who proposed
to photograph 1t. The result was
beautiful picture kept in the family
until one day, after reading a letter
from someone inQuiring as to who
wrote the Postum and Grape-Nuts ad-
vertisements, Mr.. Post said to his
wife: I'VE receive SO many in
quiries Of this kind, that It is
evident some people are curious to
know, suppose we let the advertising
department have that picture Of your
hand to print and name 1t "A Helping
Hand" (Mrs. Post has assisted him
in preparation of some Of the most IA
nous advertisements.)
There was natural shrinking from
the publicity. but with an agreement
that no name would accompany the
picture, its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and Grape-Nuts, so
the picture appeared on the back COW
ers of many of the January and Feb
ruary magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
in the world.
The advertising dept. of the Postum
Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of the
public, by refraining from giving the
name of the owner when the picture
appeared, but stated that the name
would be given later In one of the news
paper announcements. thus seeking to
induce the readers to look for and read
the forthcoming advertisements to learn
the name of the owner.
This combination of art and COM
merce and the multitude Of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration of the
interest the public takes In the personal
and family life Of large manufacturers
whose names become household words

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA.
Black Splotches All Over Face-Affect-
ed Parts Now Clear as Ever-Cured
by the Cuticura Remedies.

about four years ago / was afflicted
with black splotches all over my face
and few covering my body, which pro-
duced a severe itching irritation, and
which caused me great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent that
l was forced to call in two of the leading
physicians of my town. After thorough
examination of the dreaded complaint they
announced it to be skin eczema in its
worst form. They treated me for the
same for the length of one year, but the
treatment did me no good. Finally my hus-
band purchased set of the Cuticura Rem
edies, and after using the contents of the
first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in con-
nection with the Cuticura Soap and ONT
ment, the breaking out entirely stopped.
l continued the use of the Cuticura Rem
edies for six months, and after that every
splotch was entirely gone and the aft
fected parts were left as clear as ever.

of that dreadful disease, eczema, but
