A Doctor Awheel Again.

A leading physician Of one OF the
large Western cities, who owns an cleo
trio phaetOn and a gasoline runabout.
surprised his friends this spring by
appearing on a new bicycle.
I'm just learning sense" he said TO
a friend who rallied him on his new
mount. Il expect 10 use one Of my
automobiles when / have to, but / am
not going to miss the fun and advant-
age Of cycling any longer. My electric
made me fat and Lazy was getting
loggy in mind and body. Ten years
ago I was using a wheel every day.
and I never slept better, ate better.
or really felt better in my life. 1
know the bicycle was entitled 10 full
credit, and am going back to those
days again. Better show a little sense
yourself and Join me these fine spring
mornings"
The best thing about this wise ply
sician's prescription is that it's easy
and pleasant TO take. Bicycles cost
less and are actually better than they
were a year ago, and the witchery of
wheeling IS as potent as it ever was.

This is the season when sim

There IS not much chance for aTgu-
menL on this subject, whether the par
ents can recall their own wheeling
days or not. They certainly know that
cycling Increases the lung power. works
wonders for those having poor circula-
ton, and by the rational use OF muscles
that are not ordinarily brought into
action, develops a stUrdiness of body,
and reserve fund OF strength that is
worth more 10 a growing child than
any other possession.
When you come 10 think OF IL, ever
thing that has been said concerning
the value OF cycling for juveniles. can
be said just as strongly in talking OF
wheeling for adults. and it's because
of the absolute truth Of this statement.
no doubt, that the return Of the wheel
is SO much Ia evidence.
The bicycle, and its vogue today, is
really on a better foundation than
ever before. 1t is not put forward as
a fad, or a fashionable diversion, but
is accepted as the finest means Of ex-
erclse in the world. and the most mar
velOus time and money saver that mas

But I happened to be present the

The man came into the room bearing

Bessie is a remote relative. the only

Accordingly his wife and 7, pleasingIy

One woman Raises An WAGE.


When a woman raises the wages in
her household she raises the wages in
al the houses in the neighborhoOd.
When she takes an unframed servant
at the same wages that she has paid
10 a competent servant she raises the
scale OF wages and puts a premium on
Ineompetency. When unskiIled workers
are drawn IT. the good servants are
pushed out and the Industrial balance is
destroyed.
The hope OF the American domestic
service question is In the children Of the
immigrants, but domestic work is looked
down upon, and IL must be raised.
Teaching domestic science in ths public
schools is OF the greatest importance.
We have ignorance in the kitchen, but
what can We expect when We have more
ignorance in the drawing room? The
present higher education OF women is
helpful TO women who are going 10
lead strictly professional lives. but it
does not help the woman In the home.
Study Domestic Science.
''rhe study of domestic science should
take its position with the study of other
sciences, no matter what the position In
life the student is to hold. In the mod
ern household there is an enormous
waste OF force not only in expenditures,
but in results The arrangements made
and conducted by men in the culinary
departments OF railroad trains and
ocean liners can give points for most
kitchens IN compactness and practical
utility"
Miss Bruce said that in the conduct
OF their households the hearts Of house
keepers sometimes ran away with their
heads, and that by negiectlLg small
matters for the comfort OF the servants
they sometimes lost competent workers.
She gave a number Of ''DOnts' Tor
the housewife
Don't give an order and then forget
about IL; don't send orders By other
servants when 1t can be avoided; don I
talk about servants at the table, don
leave money around as If you did not

ants: don't make promise 70 a servant

of your servants unless you think they

NEW BALLOON IDEA.

Pear-shaped balloons are the fashion
in Belgium. The point is upward, the
base of the balloon is spherical. It is
claimed that balloons of the shape pierce
the air vertically with far greater speed
than the ordinary spherical balloon.
Consequently they are steadier. Also
the upper pointed end prevents the ac-
eumulation of moisture or snow on the
surface, which frequently weighs bal
loon down and destroys its power to
rise.
