CARING FOR EMPLOYEES

What promises to be an industrial in

install a scientific system Of studying en-

TRIBUTE,
TRIBUTE.

Dear WOman's Page: How many
of the readers Of this page and paper
are away from their home town?
| am, in fact we both are, my hus-
band and self and many miles away
from it in the bargain. Now how
many Of you have fathers and moth
ers left in the old home town, or if
not both parents, how many have
either one or the other? Now what I
want to say is this: Dear reader if
you have both or if you have but one
Of them left, father or mother, how
often do you write them a card or
a letter? l heard a young man say
the other day, q declare I have not
written to the old folks at home for
l don't know how many months"
Now what do you think of such neg
Hgence on the part Of a son? Poor
mothers and fathers that worked
hard to raise us to men and women,
to go out in this world to be able to
make our own way, and then so to
forget them. | write my mother a
letter every Sunday, as certain as
Sunday comes. She usually gets it
by Tuesday. She has often written
me and said, "Child if I did not get
your letter, telling me how you are
all getting along, I would not be fit
for my own household duties. AS to
me, it is like a conversation with
you, and it cheers me beyond words"
l often slip a paper bill in my letter,
when l can. Try it and see what
happiness it will bring to your own
dear self, regardless Of mother or
father. H. F. B.

LABOR SAVING IN IRONING.

Dear Woman's page: A Farmers
Daughter" was kind enough to tell
us how to wash, [ will toll the sis
ters my method of ironing. The first
point in ironing is to make the starch
properly. | use -four, having found
by experience that rightly prepared,
it sticks less than real starch of what
ever kind. To two quarts of water
use four heaping tablespoonsfuI of
flour, made smooth with cold water
Bring the water to boiling point
adding enough alum to taste real
rough, and a piece of beeswax as
large IS the end of your thumb
Then add the flour stirring until free
from Jumps. Boil the starch for
five or ten minutes, or it will stick;
you cannot cook too much. Know
ing how to starch is very important.
First, starch collars and all articles
you want very stiff. Rub in the
starch until every thread is pene-
trated thoroughly, stretch .ng and
pulling out all wrinkles, hang out
and let dry. Then starch again the
collars, being sure to rub and stretch
them as at first Roll tightly in a

iron; you will think John China
man" did it. Thin the starch with
hot water for dresses, as it will serve
to launder the finest lawns or 1aces
and will not sour if kept all night
in midsummer
Always test the heat of iron, be-
fore putting on article to be ironed.
If it scorches slightly it is of the
right temperature.
A neighbor saw me ironing collars
once, and thought, well that is so
