Household hints are cTowding all
other communications TO the bottom OF
the big Times mail bag
There is only one regret the Editor
of the Household Hints department
ever has, and that is TO see a big
bunch OF useful suggestions piled on
his desk every day with the knowledge
that were all OF them to be printed
there would be no room left in the
paper for anything else.
It Is a big task to choose a few of
the best hints for publication, and the
sditor by no means takes It for granted
that those finally selected for prizes
will be among the ones printed. The
fact that a suggestion appears or does
not appear is absolutely immaterial as
Affecting the probable decisions OF the
judges. Each suggestion is read care
fully and weighed upon its own merits
and The Times exerts no influence upon
the result.
The hints published today are worth
-'our reading and remembering, for
there is A practical value attached TO
every one Of them.
As you have benefited by the little
suggestions Of your neighbor. send to
The Times hints about running the
household which you have found useful
in your own experience. In this manner
you will help TO keep this department a
great success:
Following are some of the latest:

WOMEN EARN CASH
TEACHING IN HOMES
Instruct Housewives Econ
omy of the Gas Range and
How to Read Meters.

A new way of earning money has been
opened to women by the gas companies
Of the large cities. reports Popular Me
chanics- They are sent to private
houses and apartments to explain the
use of the gas range and of the meter,
with the object Of teaching economy in
the use Of gas. According to one Of
these teachers, it IS a position requir-
ing tact as well as the special knowI-
edge they are paid to diffuse.
1T is always possible TO make A Wo-
man feel humilated when you call to
snow her how to do what She thinks
she knows how to do herself" one Of
the gas emissaries is quoted as saving
aDCut her work. Possibly she has COM
planned 10 the gas company that the
stove Wlll not work properly
Inc reason may be that she does not
know how TO use it lat it would not
do to tell her 50. SO we proceed to
ind out the reason and do II so adroitIy
that she still believes the fault was with
the range and not with her, but at the
same time has learned enough to make
certain tnat there will be nc future
complaint"
Where the idea Of this new DEPART
ment originated is not known. Chicago
has just claimed the credit Of it, but
the gas companies of Philadelphia,
New York. and other cities also have
such departments and advance counter
claims In Philadelphia the staff Of
women go from door TO door or make
special visits If called.
Among the bits of information handed
out by the teacher is the declaration
that many women make the mistake Of
trying to light the gas at the same time
they turn il on. A second or two should
be allowed to elapse before applying
the match so that the gas can expei
the air. This makes the burners work
better and saves gas.
Another economical expedient TO which
many women pay little attention is the
simmering burner. When a saucepan no
longer needs the entire heat Of a burner
II is only necessary TO transfer II to
the simmering burner to leave the Iarg-
er burner free for something else and
TO save gas.

NORTH CAROLINA BERRIES
UNABLE TO SUPPLY
PRESENT DEMAND.

In another week the North Carolina
season on Strawberries is expected to
close. Shipments of berries from THIS
State are already beginning TO run light
and they practically will cease before
the end of next week.
On the other hand. receipts Of home
grown berries are constantly increasing.
A considerable quantity OF them was
offered for sale today, although the size
is small, as the Northern berries of best
quality have not ripened. in fact, quail
ity has suffered a falling or during the
past few days in berries shipped from
every point, which has resulted in the
price going as low as 6 cents wholesale.
Norfolk-groWn berries continue 70 be
in deamnd- Gradually speaking, this
berry is now the most in demand Of any
shipped 70 the local market and, where
extra quality is offered, brings as high
as II cents.

CLIMBING STAIRS
is GOOD EXERCISE

Climbing stairs is avoided by most
women as an unsafe exercise. Yet It is
detrimental because Of the bad way in
which it IS done. The body works 20
its best advantage in lifting its own
weight, as in hiil-climbing.
In mounting stairs. let the chest lead,
the body remaining normally erect: use
the stair as a base upon which the
spring in the ball OF the foot i;rfs its
weight With a full breath lift the
