The Correct rhins.

Social Corner Editor: I think that the hint of "Experience'' to young wives to check the thoughtless habit of young husbands who throw their hats down instead of hanging them up is all right. Where all members of their clothing and replace their be- longings instead of leaving them for the wife to pick up. the work is made very much lighter. A woman has enough to do when she receives every attention which fs her due by other members of the family. The wife is always e patient worker and has long hours with no prospect of relief as the years roll by. The increasing family doubles and trebles the work, and the responsibilities in the home, and 1t is only by kindly and sympathetic CO., operation that the mother can be kept from being made a drudge. Domestic life is made cruel for the wife by these omissions resulting from thoughtless- ness and selfshness.

Wanta to Get Thin.


 Editor Social Corner: It is easy for me to get deshy and have tried differ ent methods for reducing my weight without success. Do you know of an easy way to reduce ones weight?
 AUGUSTA Norwich.
 (There is no easy way to do tasff which call for persistent self control and self denial. The way for a pee s,n to get thin is to eat less and cxeroise more. A stout person is frequently afflicted with g. constant desire for food, and a substitute that frequsn.ly satisfies the appetite is the Juice of sn orange or of grape fruit, without sugar. A cup of hot water, or '.ot water with the juice of a le1noh. aisp without sugar. will sometimes yve something for the stomach 70 act on without increasing the fesn. rsf ee juice alone should Dc enough for break fast when woman is sincere in her desire to lose flesh, and hot water taken several times through ihc j.; will hasten the loss. No liquf1 stnunl be drunk at meals, but at least tl., co pints are necessary between ..le time of rising and going to bed. Tenr IT, ance in all things makes life a blessing as well as a success. Every excess is against good health--dt is a violation of the law of our being.-Ed. Social COrner.)

rh. Prime Necessity eF Life.

Editor Social Corner: Necessity--the prime necessity of life is pure air The body receives its nourshrnent from food taken into the stomach. Thas 10 essential to life, but just as impor- erously provided in the pure, fresh air all around us. We insist upon it that we must have food for the stomach, but how often do we deprive ourselves of that which is just as important to health and happine8-pure a4r. A person may live for several weeks without taking food. He may be de- pftved of drink for some days without serious injury. but deprive him of air for q few minutes and death will result.
 Impure Air--Those who spend much of the time in the open air are not subjected to the evil effects of impure air as are those who are required to spend most of rhetr time indoors. And yet all may suffer from the evil effects of a poorly ventilated bedroom or a cellar where f1ecaydng vegetables are sending forth through crevfces and cracks into every apartment of the house poisonous and disease producing air.
 Cold Air-Don't be afraid to 70 out doors because it 1s a little colder than usual. The cold air will not hurt you if you are properly protected. 1t will purify your blood and strengthen your lungs.

 Cheap Books.
 Editor Social Corner: was inter- ested in Rural, Delivery's letter upon the uses of good books. and wish to assure him that ten-cent books now include the classics as well as the trash. What controls reading for ev- cry person is taste. and taste improves. I began life on Jack Shepard. Claude Duval, Sixteen String Jack, and boolks of such sensational character. When found Victor Hugo,s Les Miserables I pronounced it of no interest-no good. Ten years after I became fas- cinated with it and still regard it as a most wonderful book. Now I lind that can enjoy Emerson, Thoreau, Carlyle, Metchinkoff, Neitschze, or any other writer on any heavy sub ject, Professor Larkin on Holes in the Sky, Professor Lowell upon The Won ders of Mars. or Ebert Hubbard on The White Hyacinth. or any horticul- tural. or ethnological subject. Those who start in an eddy of sensation do not always end in the slough of crime.

How to Cur. That Tired Feeling.

Editor Social Corner: I do not 0e- heve in medicine to remedy what exer- else and fresh air will correct. Most women think that they get exercise enough doing their l1ouse work, and that the house air is fresh enough. This is not so. It should be a daily practice to 20 to the door and take many lunssfm of pure air many times each day. There is nothing nicer to take for that spring tired feeling, and nothing wtil cure 1t sooner. An hour the finest kind of Q tonic for any woman. Many plead that they haven't the time. Take the time and get the vigor to do more in a few hours than care of self, and the greater will be the strength to perform the duties of life.
