The MODERN WOMAN.
XVI-WOMEN In ECONOMICS.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

The prime object of the study OF any
line of economies is to secure the great
est value of result from the least eXpend-
iture be it time. labor or money, or a
combinatio of the three. In Chicago
for the past year a number of woman
economists have been concentrating their
attention upon the housing problem, with
the result that they are able now to
show pictures of comfortable quarters
which working people may secure for the
same price as the congested. unhealthy
tenements in which most OF them now
live.
A series of lantern slides has been
prepared to illustrate the results OF the
research which has been made during the
year. These slides are exhibited and eX-
planned at public meetings. held In. diff
ferent parts of the city. AS a result
many families now are living under
more comfortable, conditions than they
would have thought possible before. 1t
generally happens that lack of time to
make longer search is responsible for
a family locating itself undesirably. so
the economic value of this organized
search for healthful living quarters has
tremendous possibilities for future good

continually in progress as to its causes
and the possibilities of overcoming

ton as regards food products. They
overcame this to a degree last winter by
undertaking the distribution OF over six

cents Il dozen when the dealers We're
charging from 9 to II cents more. The
league took the eggs by the carload and
by special dispensation from the mayor
opened about 800 stations for their dis

as to the cost of the production of the
eggs, which showed that they could be
produced at a price to render them suit

The most important thing in domestic

Grated china. jewels, liquors. tobacco.
Toys and various other articles. To a

has constantly before her the question as
to whether or Eut it is best for her to
give the preference in her expenditures
to the products Of her own country or to
importatons from abroad. She also
must consider the real value of every
purchase, since Mr.. James Hill informs

he sat alone in the pergola await

1t was found that mosquitoes breed
extensively in paddy fields, and that
rice cultivation is practically insep-
arabic from malaria. The only rem
edy that can hope to be effective is
the abandonment of cultivation alto

POETS PRESENCE OF MIND.


Tennyson once arrived at Hasle-

eel of books; and as his own carriage
had not arrived to meet him, he was
glad to accept the offer of a lift
home.
Going up the steep hills to Black
down, Tennyson, with his character
istic consideration for animals, sug-
gested that they and the books were
too heavy for the pony to drag.
The two men therefore got out
and walked for some distance in
front of the trap, until they discov-
cred that the books had dropped out.
The owner of the pony asked Ten
nyson to stand at the animals head
while he went back for the books.
These he found a hundred yards or
more down the hill, and on his re-
turn he found the pony had been
FESTIVE, but had quickly become
quiet.
Knowing that it disliked strang-
ers, he wondered how Mr.. Tennyson
had kept it quiet. What was his

EXERCISE NEEDED IN WINTER


This is the season Of the year when
many man goes into his chrysalis
and does not emerge again until the
first warm spring day. After a
summer Of tennis, golf, walking and
other forms Of exercise he decides
to hibernate, as it we're, until the
great outdoors again calls him: He
seems to think that an active summer
strikes fair average for the year
and permits him to dispense with
winter exercise. A mans system re-
quires a certain amount of exercise
every day, if it is to retain normal
health. BY this assertion violent ex-
ercise is not meant. But your or
gans and muscles demand that you
indulge in sufficient physical culture
to send them the good, healthy cur
rent Of blood which is essential to
their work in your behalf, and that
is what sitting in an Office chair and
then riding direct to your home in
the evening will not do. Walking
70 your Office in the morning or to
your home in the evening requires,
as a rule, but an additional half
hour. If such exercise is not attract
i've or is inconvenient, ffteen-minute
class work at gymnasium will ac-
complish even more because of the
greater number of muscles that are
scientifically brought into play.
Squash, handball, pin ball and other
indoor games offer attraction to
those who desire more ardent sports.
