away with the necessity of having the

The designs most in demand are the
fine meshed nets with small ring or

II seems to me that the gentle genius

days to see women running their own

requires to be mechanically mistress
of the domestic situation are a little
gumption and the ability to handle
the monkey wrench and screwdriver
with some expertness. Perhaps to ex-

That is not half bad question for
many a weary housekeeper to ask her

would fight the wrinkles off longer and
would generally be brighter and hap
pier II she could learn TO sit down
whenever she gets a chance.
II Is worth while to get comfortable

task Save sweeping, scrubbing and

a house that cannot be done just as

ORANGE SANDWICH FOR CASTOR

wich for Swing castor oil to chill

told by the doctor to give her baby
this unpalatsble medicine
The orange sandwich Is simply a
small quantity of orange juice put into
a spoon with the needed amount of oil
added and over that enough orange
juice to cover the oil, This is an ex
cellent method for taking either cas-
tor oil or olive oil. II has been rec
commended several times. but Is such a
really valuable discovery for mothers
that II Is repeated for the benefit of
