but there are times when it must be
changed. This is true where there are
children or illness. In either case the
sensible thing to do is to consider which
things are absolutely imperative, and
then plan for the most efficient methods.

I In their saving Of time and tired

cost III their saving Of time and tired
backs.
The assignment Of definite amount
Of time to definite tasks is worth con-
sidering. 1t is SO very easy to dawdle
without realizing the fact-taking forty
five minutes to do tl1irty-rninutes task,
handling an article three times when
once is suficient-in countless ways one
wastes time. Many women believe in
conscientious work and think that means
long hours. Analyze a task, allow a
certain time for each part, and decide
whether too much is being given to that
particular thing.
Another place where time may be
saved is in the care OF tools after use,
For instance, fruit-jars should be cleaned
as soon as the fruit is removed. Any
thing that is to be used again should be
put away ready for instant use at any
time. Soiled linen should be laundered
on the first wash-day, soft old sheets
and handkerchiefs should be put away
clean. Staple articles of food should be
stored in proper receptacles. When
large enough, glass fruit-jars or screw
top glasses are best, as the contents are
alright, ver1nin-proof and easily seen.
Z dpSI-pdS housekeeping is waste OF
time and patience, as well as material.
The articles most used should be nearest
to hand and in the most convenient place.
All worn-out or unnecessary things
should be discarded at once.
Method and System
Methodical, systematic housekeeping
is the only salvation of the woman who
must keep house unaided, or of the one
who must direct others and wishes a
happy, well-ordered home
The very neatness is attractive and a
constant incentive to continual effort.
The only danger is that neatness, system
and order may become the paramount
things, imposing a hardship as great as
that brought about by the lack of those
qualities.
FleTibiIty and adjustment must go
hand II, hand 7oih system, and method.
Saneness, common sense and intelli-
gence must point the way in every un-
dertaking, and one must have the cour-
age of her convictions.

If the laundry-worls is done out of the

siderably, but there is the same need of
systematic planning for the other work.
Tuesday wash.day
Monday is the time-honored wash-dav,
but Tuesday seems better. If Sunday is
Home Day." as it should be, everything
is pretty generally used and needs a
going-over on Monday. The larder is
depleted, clothes need mending before
going to the wash, and one needs little
time for rest. The stores can be ex-
amined, meals planned and the weeks
purchases listed.
On Tuesday there is chance to
choose between necessities and luxuries.
Washing is a necessity, ironing lux
ury. 30 say some. Bed linen and tow
els must be washed, but not necessarily
ironed. A little care in hanging UP and
smoothing when folding is ali that is re-
CURED, and the smell of pure air and
sunshine is more agreeable to many than
the odor of a hot iron on linen.
Anything that saves nerve force and
uses brains instead will be part of the
wise Woman's equipment. The market
IS full of labor-saving utensils which
are really excellent and should be in
general use. There are washing ma
chimes which are practical, and bread
mixers worth using. Carpet
and freless cookers have come to stay
and, rightly used, will be boon to hard
pressed housewives. Dustpans fitted

tluous flesh, it would be vain to attempt
hip reduction alone; the whole matter

do not believe the person exists who
can not reduce flesh by proper dieting

wrong kinds of food, or exercise too lit

as one advances in life is to a deposit
of flesh about the waist, abdomen and
hips, which tends to destroy bodily sym
metry This is due in a great part to
the lack of exercise of these muscles of
the body, to a wrong posture in sitting
and the tendency as one grows older to
eat more food than is necessary. The
remedy, then, after regulating the diet,
is in the exercise of these muscles, which
become overcharged with fat owing to
their Incidence. / have often given the
series of exercises necessary to accom-
plish it, but I will repeat them here for
the benefit of my readers. Lie fat

bringing the feet closely to the BODY !;
then hex the knees up on the body itself,
doubling the legs as closely together as
possible upon the body. Try this first
with one leg and then with the other,
and then both together.
Another series of exercises consists in
Standing as erect as possible, with hands
hanging loosely at the sides and the
palms inward then slowly bend the body
at the hip joints, allowing the arms to
swing forward, and, while keeping the
knees stiff, try to touch the floor with
