YOU ARE URGED
TO DO HOUSEWORK.

The woman who does enough (this
does not mean too much) homework
seldom is bothered with nerves. She
is too busy to think about them.
An eminent woman physician used to
advise some of her patients to do more
busting. She told them the exercise
so obtained was specially helpful to the
digestion. There is no doubt about It,
housework is q very wholesome occu-
patton. A woman who can spend an
hour or two each day in making beds,
arranging and busting rooms will not
need to visit a gymnasium, especially
IL she also takes a brisk walk I'M
fresh air.
Too many women look upon house.
work as beneath them. Often these
very individuals who so foolishly scorn
homework are more than willing to toll
for hours together at the sewing ma
hin The labor of thus running a
sewing machine is almost as hard as
doing h family wash.
The woman who sews day In and day
out would do we'll to secure an electric
motor to run her machine If she does
not wish to ruin her health. Even with
a motor to run the treadle. the cramp-
ing Of the chest over q machine is far
from wholesome. To "stitch-stitch-
stitch" by hand is also combining, UNI
healthy work.
Al far as health Is concerned It is
better to expend more money on having
sewing done, even If this makes neces-
sary taking a more active part in the
homework, as the woma who wishes
to- be healthy will choose homework
whenever she can in preference to
sedentary, unhealthy sewing. At least
she will make sure of some active exer-
else before settling down to hours of
sewing.

Headaches.

A great many headaches are due to
eyestrain. The headache due to eye
strain is worse after using the eyes for
reading or writing, and it Is generally
absent in the morning, after the eyes
have been rested during sleep.
A sufferer from long sight, short
sight or ~astigmatism Is constantly
straining his eyes In the endeavor to
focus or bring within his range of
vision the object which he is looking
at, and headache will most certainly
result. Anyone afflicted with constant
ly recurring headache should visit an
oculist at once and have his eyes tested.
One of the greatest mistakes pos
sib1e is to choose your own glasses at
an optician shop by the simple but
futile expedient of looking through
them. Suitable glasses can only be
properly prescribed by a specialist in
ophthalmic medicine.
The third great cause of headache is
nervestrain. one of the penalties of
modern civilization. The eager pursuit
of pleasure and excitement, the spirit
of competition, the desire to go one
better than other people. have con-
verified social life into a perfect tread
mill, where there is no rest for the
weary nor place for the unenterprising.

THE CARE OF THE CANARY.

Those who w canaries find them at
this time of the rear suffering from
rheumatism, which Is caused by stand
ing on wet perches. A specialist In
bird diseases says that birds suffer ter
ribly from the carelessness of those
who clean the cages.
Women will wash out a cage and neg
lect to thoroughly dry it. The perch
is left damp and the bird, standing on
it, at once takes on rheumatism, which
spreads through the body.
A little Inflammation starts In the
feet and this is apt to result in a tiny
abscess which is torture to the bird.
The specialist tells that the
perches should be scraped and Their
rubbed with a dry cloth instead of be-
ing washed each time. If they are
washed they should be dried In the
oven before being put backin the cage.

He Calls No More.
My Dear Miss Doom:

I am a young girl 10 years of age,
and there was a young man who called
on me for about fur months, and of
a sudden he stopped coming; why, I
do not know. Whether I said some
thing which offended him, or not, I
know not. When I meet him, which
has not been very often since, he bids
me tho time of day, but that is all. I
feel quite badly about it, as I thought
a great deal of him. Now, what would
you advise me to do? I would like to
regain his friendship If 1 could. Would
it be proper for me 20 ask him the
BEATRICE r.
IT I were you, ! would be just as dis
tant as he, or more SO. Do not let him
imagine that he a treat you as he
likes and then expect O to be all
smiles when he chooses to be civil. 1t
would be a good idea to ask him plain
ly just what the trouble is, If you must
know. If he cannot give o a salts
factory answer, why end the friendship.
You Will not be sorry. 1 do not think
he Is worth your consideration.

Fall PetticOatS.

The heatherbloom petticoat Is the be-
longing Of the girl who can not afford
silk ones, and it can be made just as
elaborate as a silk one, but the woman
who fashions her own petticoat will not
trim 1t with other than materials of
like kind. The flounce should be
hemmed and headed with sections of
small tucks. Three sections with five
small tucks in each will be sufficient.
The skirt can be made with the draped
flounce, and the style is very pretty.
For a heavy skirt, some heatherbloom
kinds are plated and stitched from the
waist line to the fiounce. This makes
an excellent skirt for winter wear. 1t
should not be gathered around the
waist, but for comfort it must be rather
roomy over the hips.
