HOW A WOMAN CHANGED
DIRTY MARKET CONDITIONS

A woman lived in a town where the
grocery stores and meat markets were
about es carelessly conducted, with re-
gard to cleanliness, as they are in the
average place.
She determined to change things. and
whenever she went to one of the stores
she politely asked the clerk to put waxed
paper, or any other kind of paper. on
the scales Oefore weighing delicate ar
ticIes, and explained why.
OF course he grudgingly complied. but
he complied. Then the women told her
friends and neIghbors how nice it was
that at so-and-so's store things were
weighed in this cleanly way. OF course
when the store people found that they
were getting new customers through
what seemed to them the most trining
kind OF an act they adopted II asa rule.
Naturally the other stores heard about
il and followed suit. and now this little
town is known far and wide as clean
marketing place. The bakers clerk no
longer handles. bread with his hands.
but with a piece of waxed paper: quar-
ters OF meat have disappeared from the
hooks outside and inside, and are kept
in ethe refrigerators: candies and cakes
are kept under glass. and business Of
all kinds in that town has jumped 70
per cent in one year. It is always as
tonishing how far-reaching may be the
simple effort.

Are not five sparrows sold for two

hairs of your head are all numbered
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more
value than many sparrows." - Nukt

My life Is Of little value,
But the dear Lord cares for me.

But II keeps me warm in winter,
And It shields me from the rain;

With many a chirp of pleasure,
In the spot / love the best.

And never a seed to keep.

Novel Prizes.

The woman who can make delicious
bOnbons in her own chafing dish need
not worry about acceptable prizes for her
afternoon bridge party. At an occasion
of this kind. this winter. the prizes were
three boxes OF homemade candy, two
pound. pound. and half pound boxes be-
ing used for first. second, and third prizes
The candies were dain:ily packed in oiled
and lace paper and the boxes were tied
up with ribbons. On top Of the lace mat
in each box was an envelope containing
recipes for the goodies beneath. At an
other card party were given lavender
bags for T. erfuming wardrobes and linen
closets. These bags were of lavender
china silk and measured seven inches
sach way. They were made in envelope
style, with a flap fastening under loop
and button, SO that the perfumed cotton
inside could be renewed when desired.

MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING

While it was not exactly the prompt
inEs Of their native gallantry that led
2,;OO gentlemen TO rush to the rescue OF
some millions of women, yet no doubt they
VIII receive some such credit. Whatever
the motive. the determination to elimi-
nate the blue horrors of wash day rs GER
tainly one 10 arouse the admiration of
any feminine soul
It's just this way. The 900 gentlemen
are progressive Iaundrymen scattered
through this country. They united in
an association, and their principal aim
Is 10 send the glad tidings into every
household that the good laundry Of to-
day is blue horror dispelIer, that can
prove its economic right to gather up
the family wash. The main division of
the rescuing army is not without its
allies. for about so per cent of the women
OF this country have Joined forces with
the laundrymen, having already been res
cued.
The presence of the allies is explained
in this way: Every week the steam
laundries of this country do 5000 900
worth of business. OF this tremendous
amount nearly 90 per cent is for fiat
wOrk-the class of work which makes up
the larger portion of the home washing.
In other words. 30 per cent of the women
OF this country have concluded that here
lOiOfe Ine men OF tne nOuSenOlu were
getting the best of il. and are therefore
now sending to the laundry more than
collars. cuffs, and shirts. They are put
ting the tabIecloths. towels, napkins, bed
spreads, sheets. underwear, and the like
on the same footing with the husbands
linen. Naturally, the main division of
the laundrymen's army looks upon these
women as allies.
The Iaundrymen's ammunition is a
convincing line of facts. They show, for
example. that the modern laundry is
equipped with marvellous machinery,
which can handle delicate lingerie as
deity as the human fingers: that II has
all tho advantages of modern ventilatinG
and sanitation devices and systems. The
laundry has progressed along with other
plants that use machinery, but the wom-
an who does the family wash or the
washwoman who does 1t for her must
employ the same methods grandmother
used before the civil war. 1t does seem
odd that in this busy world of material
progress that the old-fashioned, distract
