Use various sized boxes or box covers

that only a woman has. Then when
one box gets mussy or out of

replaced. All other drawers should be
set apart for certain things in certain
places. 1t is then easy to find things

Senate leaders insist that the bill
which will be passed by the chamber
TO which they belong is much better
bill than that adopted by the house.
The house bill has free listed imports
valued on the basis of 1912 at $685..
100000. This amount has been in
creased under the senate amendments
TO S147, 100000.
Partly owing to this transfer and also
owing to the reduction in, the house
rates, the estimated revenues have
been reduced from s257.600.000 to
SPA, 100000, a total reduction in rev.
enues from imports of S9,S00,000.
The income tax, the tax on spurious
wines, wine. and grape brandy used in
the fertilization of pure sweet wine,
and the tax on cotton futures. viii in
crease the revenues from all sources
so that the senate leaders confidently
believe sum will be realizd which will
NOR than equal the economical needs
of the government.
Nevertheless it is-to be expected that
the senate conferees will make con
cssions to the house. 1t is the under
standing that President Wilson will be
consulted IN order to assure a perfect
ed measure which will meet with his
approval and which will be presented
to the country as the harmonious ex
preston Of democratic policy.

SAVING WORK IN THE HOME,

While We know the kitchen is the
mainstay of the home and never was
so much attention given to it as at the
present day, we also know that we
have other rooms in the house which
require our attention.
1t has been estimated by DR.. Wiley
that if we live to be sixty years old,
twenty years are spent sleeping, five
years at the table dining and twenty
years in the preparation of this food.
If this statement is true, how we'll we
should plan for health and comfort in
the dining room and sleeping rooms.
With only fifteen years spent for
outside pleasures and work in a wom-
ans life, how very important it is that
any little help which comes her way,
lettering or adding to the health of the
family who spends so much of its life
dining and sleeping is rightfully hers
and every housekeeper who has good
idea along this line should join the
passit-along" club.
! PASS-IT-ALoNG CLUB.
Underneath the dining table should
always be found a small hassock OF
| footstool for the mother or the child
whose feet just miss the floor. Chill
| dren are often very restless at the
table for just this reason, and mother
is wonderfully rested by raising hel
| feet from the floor where there is less
strain and less rush of blood to them
| Paper table cloths or doilies should
| be used at least for breakfast anC
luncheon. These are beautifully print
ed like the weave in linen and with
reasonable care may be used as LONG
and then have the great advantage o.
going to the waste basket instead o.
the wash and ironing board
The average dining room should e

er than accumulation. In these day.
when we hear and know so much O.
sanitation, We are not deliberately set
ting things around on plate rails anC
sideboards to catch dust. There mus
everyday use, but most of it SHOULD
be under cover back of pretty plail
or loaded glass doors.
OUT COMES PLATE RAIL.
If a cup or dish stands on a plat
rail or on a sideboard it must be wiped
whenever used. Why make ourselves

GOVERNOR MAY
BE APPOINTED
TOMORROW
Considerable Difference o
Opinion as to Who Will
Catch the Plum

Appointment of a governor is OK.
pected tomorrow by many who are fol
lowing political developments, but
opinions vary widely as to what name
the president will send to the senate
for confirmation.
Apparently there is no particular
reason why an appointment is expect
ed tomorrow, except that President
Wilson has been making his nomina-
tions on Thursday and the local poll
ticians figure that the gubernatorial
plum Is about ready TO fall. Wilson's
Gtatement that he is going to make an
early settlement of the question has
been interpreted to mean that he
would make the nomination this week,
but so far as could be ascertained this
morning. no one here has any definite
information on the subject. Leading
Democrats are inclined to look mystic
rious and talk about cablegrams hav-
ing been received pointing nomina-
tion tomorrow, but most OF the mys-
terious looks are merely alibis for ig-
norance.
