Place a pad made of folded rug or piece of carpet to stand on when iron ing. The feet will be much less tired at the end of long morning of iron ing.
 Have a small rocking chair in the kitchen and drop into it and relax when you are waiting to watch the oven for a few minutes. Use a tray in carrying to and removing dishes from the dining table. A small table on castors is a great step saver, espe- cially when one has all the serving to do, without maid.
 Dishes carefully scraped and neatly piled make the work of the dish wash ing much lighter. When possible in cooking take the dish used at once to the tap, wash and return it to the cupboard. This practice will do away with the often dreaded washing of the cooking dishes.
 Rinse all dishes with cold water when egg has been used.

The invitations were on green card board, lettered in yellow. They were so pretty that it was some time before the recipient realized they were sup posed to represent jealousy.
 Each guest took a dainty tea cup and saucer, the hostess providing the pot. All were asked to bring their thimbles The work provided by the hostess was variety of tea towels. Then the hostess requested the bride-elect to make cup of tea as farewell to the other spinsters. The maid brought in a tray with the cups and saucers, each cup bearing a black cat shaped card on which the donors name, and sen timent were inscribed in white ink I forgot to say, these cat cards were in closed with the invitations, and the cups were all sent to the hostess the day before the shower. Every one said it was a most unique way of giv- ing a shower.

Ideas for Charity Bazar.

No matter what the season the great organization known as Society works for charity. In fact, not to be identi- fled with something of humanitarian import immediately stamps a person as being decidly out of it.
 Charity is a magnet that draws buds" "belles" and matrons together with but one interest. Young women in touring cars stop you on the street asking for books and magazines for a library, while all sorts of entertain ments engross the evenings
 All this leads up to a novel enter tainment being planned for "shut-ins" of all ages. It is to be an afternoon affair on the lawn, the huge porcnes being utilized as workshops.
 There are number of committees with competent chairmen. There is one on amusement for children" one for elderly people, one on food deli cacies." As near as 1 can judge, it is to be most fascinating affair.
 Maids from Japan will serve tea, quaint Holland lassies are to dispense cocoa, both iced and hot; dainty American beauties" garbed in white, with hair adornment of Beauty" rose, will receive the jellies, jams, etc, and the children's committee, all in cos tune from Mother Goose, will receive for the poor 'shut-in" boys and girls
 One group of young girls has pre- pared quantities of surprise nuts, made by inserting some tiny object like new penny, bonbon, wee doll, tiny thimble. roll of bright baby rib bon, or raisin between English wal nut shells; the meats extracted were turned over to the homemade candy committee. The nurses will find these nuts invaluable as rewards of merit
 For elderly "shut-ins," there are to be boxes of comfort" powders, sug- gestiye notices. pencils. pads of pa pers, sewing outfits, good short stories, etc
 Scrap book fans are capital idea too, made by pasting bright sayings jokes, little poems, anecdotes, etc, on both sides of a fan. It is light to hold and serves a double purpose, giving comfort by it's breeze and amusement by reading the specially collected say. ings.
 There is also a committee to collect jars, bowls and vases, as nurses say the problem of finding receptacles for flowers is often a perplexing one An up-to-date committee is the one col lecting puzzles, and why wouldn't the crippled 'shut-ins" love these capti vating pastimes just as much as the sturdy youngsters I saw yesterday deeply absorbed in putting dog pug zles together.
 I wish I had gotten all these ideas sooner. They are all of practical use and there is always a perfect epidemic of baZars just before Christmas-so prepare now.

All in Fight Against Tuberculosis.


 Prevention of tuberculosis versus dividends is the proposition which some of our largest insurance com psnies are now trying to establish. The Metropolitan Life recently ap- piled for permission to erect sana- torium for it's policy holders and en- ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but the application was refused on grounds of illegality by New York State Super intendent of Insurance Hotchkiss. The company is, however, conducting an active educational campaign by dis tributing 3500,000 pamphlets among it's policy holders. The Prevalent Savings Life Assurance society has also established a health bureau, where its policy holders may receive free medical advice. Several fraternal orders, notably the Modern Woodmen, Knights of Pythias, Royal League, Royal Arcanum and Workmens Cir cle. have already established or are contemplating the erection of sana- toria for their tuberculous members.

An OId-Fashioned Party.

IT WORKS The Eaborer Eats Food That Would Wreck an Office Man.

Men who are actively engaged at hard work can sometimes eat food that would wreck a man who is more closely confined.
 This is illustrated in the following story:
 T was for F years clerk in a store working actively and drank coffee all the time without much trouble until after l entered the telegraph service.
 There l got very little exercise and drinking strong coffee, my nerves were unsteady and my stomach got weak and was soon a very sick man. I quit meat and tobacco and in fact I stopped eating everything which l thought might affect me except coffee, but still my condition grew worse, and I was all but a wreck.
 T finally quit coffee and com menced to use Postum a few years ago, and I am speaking the truth when I say, my condition commenced to improve immediately and today am well and can eat anything want without any bad effects, all due to shifting from coffee to Postum.
 T told my wife today I believed could digest brick if I had cup of postum to go with it.
 We make it according to directions boiling it full 20 minutes and use good rich cream and it is certainly deli cious."

ROMANCE OF PLAINS
Two Braids, Apache Chief, Finds
 He Is Not an Indian.
After Forty Years with the Red Men Thomas Springfield Applies to the Government to Be Re
 stored to Citizenship.

Washington.-Two Braids, chief cf application to the government to be restored to citizenship, and this brings to light a strange story, for this In. dian chief is not an Indian at all
 For nearly forty years Two Braids has been known as an Indian and has supposed himself to be an Indian, but he has just learned of the fact that he is really Thomas Springfield, white man, who was captured A years ago by band of Apaches in raid in Me- Mullen county, Tex. His father, mother and elder brother were killed in the raid, and his little sister was left for dead, with several ugly wounds from the Apaches' tomahawks But the little girl survived, was adopted and reared by an uncle and is now liY- ing not many miles from the scene of the massacre. Her name is Mrs. Ida Hatfield, and she and her brother have been reunited.
 Two Braids tells an interesting story of that part of his life which he remembers. Reared in an Indian camp, it was natural that he should fall in love with woman of his race, and about thirteen years ago he mar ried Bright Moon, daughter of another Apache chief and niece of the no torious Geronimo Two children were born of this union, daughter, Nucki Two Braids, who is now ten years old and has won fame for her horseman- ship and rife shooting. and Starlight. 8 bright little son now three.

named Death Face, one of the most ago on his death-bed this Indian told Two Braids that he had not a drop of Indian blood in his veins, and that he was a pale1aee and had been Kidnapped by the Apaches 40 years ago in Texas. Death Face could not remember the name of the place. but he described the incident and the locality. Two Braids took up the trail, which he followed with dogged tenacity for 12 months. When he had found the spot and met old residents who remem bered his parents he received permis- sion to leave Fort Sill reservation in Oklahoma, and, taking his daughter with him, he travelled back to the scene of his childhood days. He met his sister, and the battle-scarred un- couth warrior and the gentle paleface woman wept for joy for their recogni- tion was mutual and positive.
 Though living with the Apaches for 40 years, Two Braids swears he never took human life and that he worried about the crimes his brothers com mitted on the raids to which he was a party. Twenty-three years ago. when a band of Apaches was rounded up and captured in western Texas after a long series of depredations in- cluding murders, burning of farm property and pillage, Two Braids was in the band They were taken to San Antonio and shipped from there to Florida and later to Fort Sill, Okla.
 Two Braids hair is long, but not a. black and not as coarse as an Indians. lis cheekbones are not high.
 With his sister he visited the graves Of their parents, who were laid to rest al the mouth of San Jose creek and on the banks of the River Nueces. Two Braids is raising a fund with which to erect marble shaft to the memory of his parents and the sub scription list has grown to several hundred dollars.

The Woman Who heIns.

Have you ever noticed that it is the busy woman who is asked to do any extra work in the church, society or club? The reason is plain, the busy worker is in practice; she systema- tizes her work; she knows how to plan, and when she takes anything to do you know it will be well done. The woman of much leisure does her work in such 8 leisurely slipshod fashion that she is a disappointment to everybody.
