WASHING THE DISHES.

Suggestions 70 His Brothers BY the
Club Woman's Husband.
Tonight l want to offer my brother
husbandettes a valuable hint about
dishwashing.
When you do the dishes don't set
the dispan in the bottom Of the sink,
as most men do, Sinks may be the
right height for women. but they are
too low for men.
For months l suffered from crick in
the back, aching shoulders. stiff neck
and abdominal cramps. consulted
our family physician without obtain
ing relief.
At last. quite by accident. 1 lit on
the cause Of my trouble. A pile Of
skillets and saucepans had been left
in the sink. and l put the dishpan on
them. Then was not obliged to
bend over so far as usual. and that
day I had hardly any lumbago pains
at all.
Since then have rested the dishpan
on a couple Of bricks placed in the
bottom OF the sink. and l wash the
dishes standing almost erect. The
roses are coming back into my cheeks.
and our whole home is brighter as a
result Of my lucky discovery.
I am sure that my men readers will
be saved many miserable hours il they
will follow my suggestion. The bricks
may be used between times as door
shoppers, foot warmers or nutcrackers.
Tomorrow evening l will tell you
what l know about washing granite

In other words, the franchise ought

ally be able, if not to purchase it, at

conditions for a proper franchise of
this description have been made the
subject of years of study by compe-
tent experts and if our city govern
ment proposes to enter into a long
term contract of this description with
out provisions for protecting the peo-
pie an earnest public protest should be
made.
New and cheaper ways of manufac-
turing gas are discovered every year
and some further methods of this kind
will be ascertained before the pre-
sent contract expires, and that COM
pany and not the city will get the
benefit. The Light, Heat and Power
Co.. has everything to gain and moth
ing to lose by making this premature
contract except a trifling reduction in
the present price of gas to be made
up many fold by it's future advantages.
1t would be far better for our people
to submit to these oppressive rates
little longer than to make now a con-
tract which will cripple our own pow
er. and the power of those who come
after us. to make terms that are real
