EVENING CHIT
q RUTN CAENRoN.

| Don't you think it would be a grand
thing, if for a short space of time-a
| month perhapS-every housewife in the
| land could leave her kitchen and her
housework and let the men folks do her
| work?
If such a thing were possible, think
great many good results would be
| brought to pass.
One would be that some men would
cease to wonder what their wives did
with their time.
Another would be that some men
would realize that the money they
have thought themselves generous in
giving their wives was entirely made
quate pay for the work they have been
doing.
And another resultant this is the
point which I want to bring out today
especially-would be that much better
equipments for housework would be i'm
mediately installed in the homes. For
no man would put up for a month with
the makeshifts and makeworks which
the average woman endures.
One morning I CHANGED to be in the
kitchen of woman who does all the
work for her family of eight. She was
making the toast which Is invariably
part Of their breakfast. In turning
the toaster she dropped two pieces of
bread and burned her hand getting
them back. I'm always doing that"
she explained; ITS that horrid old
toaster. It's been broken for months
and I ought to get a new one" And
a new toaster would probably have cost
about q quarter.
remember in our own kitchen an
obstinate egg beaten which struggled
franttcally against performing it's duty
At a conservative reckoning it must
have taken twice as long to beat an
egg with that instrument of nerve tor
ture it should have. Yet we made
shift with that miserable thing for at
least a year. And you can get a good
egg beater for 20 cents!
The other day I assisted with the dish
washing in a summer cottage. There
was no scourer. There had not been
any all summer That meant that it !
had taken about three times as long |
to wash the pots and kettles every day. |
Again and again I have heard that |
woman complain that she didn't get as
much time to be out Of doors as she |
had hoped. And a scourer would cost |
10 centsi
Homework is hard work at best; its |
infinite demands eat up an astonishing |
amount of time. All too many women |
have sad reason to quote
Mans work is from sun to sun,
But woman's work Is never DONE"
Surely then every housewife ought tc |
have the best possible equipment |
their failure to is due tc /
economy; sometimes it's just careless
ness. If it's economy, it's false econo-
my; if it's carelessness, it's very fool
ish and a waste of energy.
Every woman owes it to herself and
her family to have as much time for
rest and recreation as possible The
modern woman is coming
to realize this and to know that per
feet equipment will help her. A pro-
fessor's wife who decided to enlarge
her husbands income by doing her own
work. at once perfected her regula-
ton equipment and added to it a fire
less cooker, a dish washer and a
vacuum cleaner.
Men insist that they cannot do their
work satisfactorily unless they have
the best possible equipment.
Why shouldn't women make the
same demands?

Hygenic investigation appears to
be making some progress in finding
out the carriers If not the cause of the
malignant disease known as "infanitte
paralysis" DR.. Rosenap, of Harvard
University, advised the delegates to
the International Congress on Hygiene,
now in session at Washington, that he
had completed q series OF experiments
that had gone far to convince him that
the stable fly is an active agent in the
transmission of the disease. Professor
Patterson, of Stockholm, read a paper
before the Congress declaring that hts
experiments convinced him that the
disease is conveyed from men and
women to chill lren through the upper
respiratory passages The germs he
says, are carried in dust. Neither DR..
Rosenau nor Professor Patterson con-
tended that the source Of transmission
discovered by him was the sole man
ner IN which the disease is carried
It is a long slept toward prevention
of infectious diseases If We know how
the germs are disseminated. The sta
