RECIPE FOR A HAPPY HOME.
Brains and Good Housekeeping Go Te-
sether-AvoId Becoming Slave
Of Tradition.

AS recipe for happy home there
Is none better than brains and good
housekeeping. The more woman
knows the more easily she achieves.
Housework undirected by brains spells
drudgery.
The housewife with brains knows
the value of system, Of disregarding
traditions II they mean waste OF
higher powers, of making life more
simple if following the fashion means
cramped nerves and strained purse.
The brains shows the futility of
scrubbing. stitching. and busting as
homemaking qualities; while the other
half will never let culture run ram
pant while stockings are undarned and
meals are helter skelter.
A woman was once asked to define
her ideal housekeeping. 1T is that"
she said, where the woman keeps the
house and not the house the woman"
Houses have a way of not only keep
ing" the woman. but binding her with
chains impossible to break unless
brains form more than half the mix
ture used in that houses running.

Costly Baptism,

Evangelist McInturff ruined spe-
cially constructed device for measur-
ing the flow of artesian wells at North
Yakima, In Mckee valley, by remov-
ing the weir and using it for bap-
tistry. The Rev. Mr.. McInturff had
several converts whom he wished to
baptize. There is no baptistry in his
church and water in the Yakima and
Naches rivers is too cold. The warm
water from the Mckee wells is just
the right temperature and the box
the engineer had provided was just
the right size for baptizing.
The evangelist performed the cere-
mony all right. but he did not replace
the weir, and when the engineer went
for his data he found that he would
have to do his work all over again.
