MAKE THE HOUStKEEPER'S WORK EASY

Woman must have leisure If she is to b e com e a successful home-maker.

Neither has she time to install system without which her work must necessarily be one of endless clutter; nor the tact and time to educate her hus- band in helping her to help her self. She must have his cooper atiOn.
 Water should be in the house if possible, at least near, either in the well or in pipes. So also should the milkhouse, smoke house and vegetable garden be near. There should be as few steps as possible and those broad and easy of ascent.
 The kitchen is the most i'm portant room of the house. Is it not so? Have you not been in many houses in which the par Tor showed great signs of expen- SC and care, but where the kitch- en showed evidences of neither money nor thought? In these homes it is sometimes a matter of surprise to the parents that the girl rather be clerk or s.eno. grapher or teacher, or anything other than the assistant cook to stay at home and work in that kitchen from which every instinct of beauty. brightness and refin- ment bids her revolt.

WHICH PRINCIPLE?

AS you see by observation there
are two principles in Nature-one
constructive and one destructive. We
align ourselves by habits and prac-
theses to one or the other of these.
Happy indeed is the man or woman
whose intelligence shows them the
ways of living by and with the Great
Constructive Principle of Life. Such
an one knows that we cannot fool
nature or ourselves; we may fool
others part of the time, but the price
we pay is dear. -.,.
This is a period of great awaken
ing; we are living and learning fast
err than, ever before. People are more
honest with each other. and know
It does not pay to be otherwise. The
man who cheats in this age fools
himself most. Keep your eyes open,
of peoples doings, and you will see
that principle made plain to you
daily.
Like all Natures great laws, you
have to learn which is constructive
and which destructive. Neither goes
about labeled, unless you can see the
working of cause and effect all about
you, these great laws may escape
your notice.
These principles are working il
