PASTORS WILL TALK ON TuBER.
cuLosls.

Sunday. April Gath; will be deslg-
mated this year as National Tubercu-
losis Sunday. All over the nation
clergymen are going to discuss vari-
GUS phases Of the dread white plague,
and 1t is fact that no more potent
Influence could be- brought to bear
On the question than the pulpits of
the country.
This Sunday will also be observed,
throughout the State of Iowa. Many
ministers have already signified a
desire to cooperate In this respect
and the Department on Tuberculosis
will be glad to send literature and
in its power. Tuberculosis being a
social disease it is becoming recog-
nized more and more that all classes
of society must combine in order tc
its eradication, and everywhere the
church is giving most acceptable SER
vice.
The Department on tuberculosis has
had the heartiest cooperation Of ev-
cry religious body in the state with
out regard to sect or creed, and much
of the effective work has been due
to this intimate relation. The dis
cussion from the pulpit can. be made
more powerful than perhaps from
anyother platform for the reason
that there is SO much in the modern
church which is, related to the so
cial life Of the people.
L Moreover, the appalling loss of
more than. 5000 Of lowa's best men
and women last year places the re,
spons siblity for this preventable di,
sease more clearly than ever before
npon these who are identified in the
social welfare OF the masses. 3
Any, clergymen or social workers
who may desire to inform themselves
more generally on the social aspects
Of tuberculosis will do we'll to COM
municate with the Department on
Tuberculosis at Des Moines.

glanced at her approvingly, and made

L tell you, MOTHER said John, later
on in the evening, when he lay COM
fortably on the big couch in the library,
you are one Of the mighty few women
who realize what it means to tired
man to come home to cheerful wife

For the Procrastinator.

If you belong to the class referred
to in the following article give the plan
a trial and see how it works:
If you have put off doing little tasks
around the house till they have piled up
mountain high here is little pan that
has been found to work wonders. Write
out list of all the things that you want
to do and never get to, such as writing
I note of thanks; returning borrowed
sheet of music; writing off that recipe
for some friend; mending the hole in
the curtains; putting the patch on that
out the desk drawer, or of hanging out
these down and all the other things
that you ought to do and that take only
a few minutes each. Then take one day
out of the week and do at least ten Of
them. AS soon as you have finished
one, cross it out with a pencil and note
how pleasant it is to see the list de-
creasing. Probably you will get through
the list so fast and will be so enthusi
astic at the end that you will be look
ing around for other things to do, for
it gives such a satisfaction to see some
long dreaded task completed. If vou
can find the time to do ten in one day,
make a list of those that need attention
first and do those in one week. Those
who have the fine habit of doing every
little thing as it comes up and of keep
ing their clothes, work and other af-
fairs in good order all the time, will
laugh at this method. They say,
Simply get in the habit of doing each
thing just the instant it needs it. If a
button comes off your glove, sew it on
then and there and don't put them away
without repairing rips or cleaning them
when they need it. Mend your stock
ings as soon as they come from the
wash, and never let pile of clothes ac-
crnu1ate to mend" This sounds fine,
but we procrastinators need some little
ways to fool ourselves with, ANYWAY
lust at first till we have acquired the
system.

Remodeled Clocks.

I had two old Seth Thomas weight
clocks, which had become quite nui-
sance about the house, and wishing to
convert them into something useful,
concluded to try my hand [ first took
the works all out, then by means of a
knife, soap and water cleaned all the
defaced pictures from the glass door,
vanished them on the outside I then
put three shelves in each one, the first
shelf covering the deep part, which is so
hard to keep clean, tackled pasteboard
pictures in each light, so as to hide the
contents of the inside One was used
for a medicine closet and the other was
placed on shelf over my kitchen
cabinet to hold spices and extracts.

Astronomical Hand Lotion"

Boil five cents worth of Irish moss
in quart of rainwater until it begins
to thicken Then strain and add five
cents worth of glycerin; five cents
worth of bay rum; five cents worth of
alcohol; five cents worth of rosewater; !;
five cents worth of perfume This is
excellent for keeping the hands soft;
