Always turn the lamp out before re-

| Here are some of the things you can
safely indulge in if you banker for a
few more pounds of flesh on your bones:
| Cakes, candies, cereals. cornstarch,
sugar, sirups, nuts, soups, fats, fat

cocoa, rich and well-sweetened butter
| eggs, cream, milk sauces and olive Oil

| The quicker we learn that life is
made up of little things not great and
heroic deeds, the quicker we will ad-
just ourselves to living it happily.
AS we grow older this lesson is grad

1t is the little things, smiles. small
kindnesseS, everyday disagreeable

those around us far happier than if we
| plan to do heroic deeds; or, even do

Don't try to make a fire draw by
holding a newspaper up in front of it.

fly blazing up the chimney and set that

Many housekeepers think that if their
drinking water is boiled they have done
everything necessary to protect the
family health.
Therefore. they proceed to let it'll
stand around day or more in pitchers,
often not covered at all or so loosely
