System In the Home.

No two families living on small means
will plan the expenditure of money in
the same way Much depends on the
size of the family, and whether that
family lives in the city or country. What
may be practical for one may be un-
wise for another, and while one family
saves in one way, another finds it wise
to economize somewhere else. Every
housekeeper will agree that many things
once considered 1uxuries are now neces-
sites, and that modern methods have
relieved her of many duties while adding
others. This is all the more reason
why the home manager should system
atize her living so that the largest re-
turns may come from money and time
invested. In all your work be system
attic. She who plans her work, whether
she does it herself or is dependent on
others, so that there is no friction or
hurry, can make a small income go fur
ther and at the same time save her
health and disposition. Conditions vary
SO that it is difficult for two women to
follow the same program, but if each
day has its allotted duties much more
is accomplished at the end of the week
and is in striking contrast to the home
where no system prevails and where the
work is never done.

Lace Curtains.

Wishing to give my lace curtains an
ecru tint when I washed them l poured
boiling water upon powdered rhubarb,
I had sufficient to dip all at once. [ used
three cents worth of rhubarb for three
curtains. When it came to drying | hung
them by the sides, one over the other,
using several pins. After carefully
stretching down the lower corners,
pinned them together, and kept each
curtain in its proper shape. I found
this method quite as satisfactory and
much easier and more convenient than
stretching on the carpet-Mrs S.

Sewing-Machine Drawers.

Cut a piece of wood to fit the bottom
of one of the drawers of the sewing
machine and drive into it nails from two
to three inches apart Keep the spools
of thread used for the machine on these
"spindles." A piece of blotting- paper,
kept in another drawer, will be found
useful to remove superfluous oil from
the exposed parts of the machine The
lowest drawer of all may be kept for
scraps of thread and cloth which collect
when sewing at the machine The draw
er can be emptied when you are through
sewing and will save much time usually
spent i'll picking up-E. V.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

A hearty meal should never be eaten
when one is exhausted or even greatly
fat1gued. Half an hours rest before
dinner is great aid to good digestion.
The influence of the psychical on the
process of digestion has not been suffi-
ciently we'll understood 1t is intimate
1y bound up with the sensations of appe-
tite and hunger Appetite is the most
powerful eXcltant of the gastric juice.
Hence the Importance of such esthetic
aids to the appetite as agreeable SUR
rOundings, a well-appointed table and
good cooking.
The gastric secretion may be wholly
arrested by violent emotions. If in the
course of a delightful dinner, you should
be handed a telegram telling you of the
death of friend or of a heavy financial
loss, all appetite would go at once, and
the food that you had eaten would lie
like lead on the stomach. This shows
the important role played by the nervous
system over the secretion of the diges-
tive juices.
Wholesome food, fresh air, bathing,
proper clothing, plenty Of sleep and the
absolute avoidance of tight lacing are
among the requisites for promoting
health and perfecting beauty.
How TO CHECK A CoUGH-It is not
usually supposed that any exercise of the
will power can be made efficient in
checking a cough or a sneeze, but a ce1e-
brated doctor says sneezing can be
stopped by pressing on the nerve of the
lips in the neighborhood of the nose.

Mending Gloves.

When mending gloves have the cot
ton match the color of the kid, and over
seam for a rip; for a tear buttonhole-
stitch the edges of the rent around
closely, once or twice, as the size of the

For Ink Stains.

Several years ago I had the misfor-
tune to have a bottle of ink overturned
on fine damask table cloth. I thought
it was ruined but after trying all the
directions [ had ever heard of for re-
moving ink stains, [ found the follow
ing successful: Cut lemon in halves
and rub into it common salt, rub we'll
into the stain, then put the cloth to
bleach in a good hot SUM- If the stain is
badly set, you will need to apply the
lemon and salt several times.-Susan

which is terrible thing in children, and
also IN whooping cough, it is possible to
afford relief by throwing cold water on
the feet, or by tickling the soles of the
feet, which produces laughter, and at the
same time arrests the spasm almost at

SIMPLE REMEDY FOR CoLD.-One of
the simplest and best remedies to relieve
a cold, accompanied by soreness and
tightness of the chest, is hot lemonade,
using gtycerine instead of sugar to
sweeten it. Taken the last thing at
night, and in bed if possible, it causes a
decided improvement before the night is
half over and if repeated for two or
three nights in succession it will entirely
cure a cold. [ can vouch for this remedy
acting almost instantaneously, as I used
it in what threatened to be severe
cold with success, in the past week.

BUTTERMILK FOR THE SKIN-WaShing
the skin in buttermilk may be disagree

then apply it to the neck and arms with

A good wash for whitening the skin
is made by adding half wineglassful of

DIRTY CHARGE
SAYS GOMPERS
President Of American Federation OF
Labor Believes Western Dyna-
mite Outrage is
"Frame Up"
BLAMEs OTIS AND POST
OF All Men on the Face Of the
Globe, He says General Otis
Hurts Labor the
Most.
BLAMEs OTIS AND POST

ST. LOUIS, Oct. Sit is strange,
very, very strange, indeed, that the
suit case filed with sticks Of dyna-
mite and clock-work mechanism
found in the yard of Gen. Otis in Los
Angeles was located at a safe dis
tance from the dwelling, SO that in
case of an explosion no harm would
befall the inmates. 1t has the appear
ance of genuine frame up" accord
ing to my idea of It,"
This opinion was delivered by Sam
uel Gompers, president of the Ameri.
can Federation of Labor yesterday
afternoon in an address before the
Central Trades and Labor Union and
Building Trades Council at 3001 Olive
street. Continuing, he said that while
so much investigating was going on
into the explosion which wrecked the
Los Angeles Times Saturday why not
include Otis and his staff of editors
and ask what they knew of the dyna
miting, If dynamiting 1t was? The
speaker declared that the American
laboring man had as much right tt
ask that question of Otis as Otis dit
to ask 1t of him, and that especial!
so when the labor unions in Los An
geles had been credited with the de
struction of the Times plant.
"As citizen, as man, as head
4 the American Federation of Labor,
| repudiate this dirty charge. It's
shame. an outrage to decency, t
charge organized labor with such
crime. I only wish / kenw the actua
perpetrators, and If did, take m
word for 1t, / would turn them owe
to Justice" declared Gompers in
highly dramatic manner.
He said 1t was such men as Charlie
w. Post and Otis who had stirred u
such trouble as this, and that of a
men on the face of the globe. Gel
Otis, through his paper, the Los Al
geles Times, and otherwise, ha
worked for many years to do NOR
> injury to American labor than an
one else. He declared that he eve
exceeded C. w. Post, whom Gompel
said was a seeker of the cheapes
! notoriety and free advertising.

his fight from New York, where he
has been in the meantime, and how,

he has escaped recognition.

the South American continent by

and from there to Liverpool and Lon

In London he said he has continual

gregated and that he attended Peary'E
