and dust the shades and put them In
a clean closet. Dust and wash the
pictures. putting them away with the
shades, Wipe down the walls and
ceilings next, clean the bedstead, dust
the woodwork, then sweep the floor.
Wash the windows, then the woodwork
and, lastly, mop the floor.
White woodwork should be washed
with skim milk and warm water. Plain
woodwork Is best rubbed with flannel

Popular Government
In his speech OF acceptance Presi-

the people was the retention of "popu-

Taft that the greatest period of un.

been brought about by the millionaire
trust owners who, while shouting
about popular government, have made
a farce OF common, every day justice.

Mr.. Taft signed, did more than any
other one thing to make the people

Moisture Necessary to Health.

The bloom on the cheeks of British
maidens Is said to be due to the fact
that they live amid moist atmosphere
all the year round. Conversely, the
pallid and saffron tint of the average
American complexion is, to very
great extent, the outcome Of the over.
heated apartments in which fashion
and builders condemn US to pass our
days and nights.
It would therefore seem that there
is a real need of radical revolution
in our system OF house-heating. Our
theories. as they are generally put In
TO practice. are woefully wrong and
we are made to pay the price of our
blunders. Until we exchange our su-
perheated and badly-ventilated rooms
for these In which the air Is moder-
ately warm and constantly sweet, con-
sumption and catarrh, bodily weakness
and "quirky" nerves, bad compilations
and premature decay OF womanly
charms are nevitable.-Physical Gull

VARIETY IN DIET IMPORTANT
Really Good Housewife 10 ths One
80 Who Can and Does Get Away
From Sameness.

II seems to me the most tlresome
truism to harp on the need Of variety
In diet, writes the editor of a cooking
school magazine. When experts are
d~voting their energy to inventing and
exploiting new dishes and new ways
of preparing old ones. there is posi-.
lively no excuse FOR monotonous
menus. Yet 1t is unfortunately true
that even In this day of enlighten.
ment many families move along In
well worn ruts. repeating every week,
day by day, the same old program
with very slight variation. 1t Is no
wonder that the children lose their
appetite, and the husband ceases to
take any interest In meal time.
A common fault in housekeeping is
to repeat ad nauseum a favorite dish.
A young man once remarked that he
had never dared to praise any article
on the table for fear It would be serv-
ed henceforth for seven days in the
week. His fond mother, seeking to
please his taste, did not realize how
she was firing him. The most deli
cious Wand In the world loses its
charm with constant repetition. Only
bread and butter will stand the every
day test.
To put 1t very badly, lack OF vari-
ETY. means sheer laziness. For laziness
Is OF many kinds. mental. moral and
physical. Many housekeeper, who
never shirks actual work. does not
exert her brains enough in planning
for her table. She does not consider 1t
necessary. Others, who are more or
less bright about thinking OF new
things. are always too busy or too
tired and constantly postpone the hap
py day for a special delicacy. Happy
is a family where the good house
keeper understands and lives up to
the belief that variety in diet Is as
important as in our pleasures.
