Housewives Daily
Economy Calendar.
THE TIRED HOUSEWIFE.

One Of the worst pieces Of extravagance
on the part Of the housewife is COM
mitted when she allows herself to be 'all
tired out" There is always the tempta-
tion to put in a day OF very fatiguing
work SO that the next day can be one Of
leisure. There is an adage, Never leave
for tomorrow what you can do today, I"
which is an extremely bad one for the
housewife to follow. Never do today
what is part of tomorrow's work" would
be q better proverb. It is really form
OF laziness to overdo so that the following
day can be one OF ease. and 1t certainly
is a form OF inconsiderateness, for an
overworked, overtired housewife is a
damper on the good nature Of the entire
household.
But IL you do oyerdo and draw near to
the end OF the day in a state Of exhsus-
ton, do what you can to refresh your
self before the evening meal And this
refreshing process does not consist in
simply throwing yourself, tired and ex-
hausted, on the nearest bed and sleeping.
There are other more direct ways OF re-
storing tired nerves and muscles than
that.
A warm bath, taken leisurely. Is more
refreshing in the day time than a nap.
and puts one in better condition for eat
ing than anything else. II after the bath
and dressing you still feel worn out. take
a cup Of tea or a cup OF hot bouillon and
a wafer. or even q cup OF hot water. A
half an hour later you will be refreshed
enough to eat dinner. But 1t Is rule
that all housewives should remember that
il is always a bad plan to take a heavy
meal when exhausted. The tea or bouil-
lon is gently stimulating and refreshes

Famous Women
Her Birthday and Yours
QUEEN ELIZABETH

Every woman born on September
probably knows that her birthday patron
ess is Queen Elizabeth, one Of the half
dozen most famous of all women rulers.
Elizabeth was born four hundred and
|eight years ago, the daughter Of Henry
|VIII and the unfortunate Anne Boleyn,
who was beheaded when Elizabeth was
|three years old Elizabeth's childhood
was spent in the country. Under the su-
premacy of Catherine Parr. the sixth
wife of the many-wived king, Elizabeth
was seen sometimes at court, for Catha-
|rine was decidedly fond of the quick-wit
ted step-daughter. But for some reason
Elizabeth was sent back to the country.
hnd even in her brightest dreams she
'eould not have thought that some day
she would ascend the throne of her
father.
Her half-brother Edward came TO the
throne and Elizabeth still led a life of
1uiet and peacefulness. Then her half
sister Mary came to the throne and still
Elizabeth lived in retirement She was
sent TO the Tower by her sister and the
warrant for her execution was even
prepared. But for some reason she es-
'caped and when Mary died in 1858 with

work OF digesting a meal may be better

Often after a hard days work what
the housewife needs more than sleep is a
change OF surroundings, a change of men,
tai occupation. II such is the case,
short, leisurely evening stroll is often re-
freshing. Listening to music or listening
to an interesting book or diverting con-
versation also is refreshing after a hard
days work. The instinct may be strong
simply to go speedily to bed and to sleep.
but to refresh the mind as well as the
body one should first drive away the
thoughts Of work before attempting sleep.
Even IL we do not consciously dream
our sleep is prone to be troubled and
feverish IL We go to bed with our minds
still teeming with thoughts OF housework

promise of being one Of the most difficult
in history. That Elizabeth's reign was as
peaceful and as prosperous as II was,
was largely due to her remarkably high
executive ability. During her reign II is
said that the greatness OF England really
began, and there is no doubt Of the fact
that Elizabeth's reign marked the great

PosToFFIcE BILL PASSED.
All Efforts to Limit the Power of Burle-
son Fail.

Washington, March 3.-The Senate
Saturday passed the largest appropria-
ton bill ever to meet the approval of
either house of Congress when it sent to
conference the postofice measure, car
rying 1911 ,492, 1857, an increase OF nearly
$4,000 over the bill as it was reported
by the postoflice committee All efforts
to limit the power of the postmaster
general to regulate parcel post rates,
zones or weight were defeated. The last
amendment of this nature provided
that no package of more than so pounds
should be carried unless the interstate
commerce commission should decide the
rates represented the cost of the service.
1t was lost, 30 to 20.
Senator Bristow OF Kansas, proposed
a new system of parcel post rates re-
ducing pay to railroads for this service,
which also met defeat Increases of
salary from 5000 to $500 were inserted
for railway mail division superintend-
ents, assistant superintendent and chief
clerks; rural mail carriers received an
increase of 500 year on standard
routes; and substitute carriers and
clerks from 80 to 90 cents an hour.

Ions per minute or about tiye times as
much.
BY increasing the fall, we increase the
capacity of the pipe, decrease the size
of the pipe necessary, and therefore de-
crease the cost of the culverts. Further
more, culverts laid fiat will soon fill up,
but if given a good fall, they will keep
themselves clear.
If much fall is obtained in a culvert
pipe, the spillway should be paved.
Earth should be tamped under and
around the pipe in layers, and should be
of sufficient depth to prevent the pipe
from being broken by traffic; but under
no circumstances should a ridge over the
culvert be allowed, for it not only en-
dangers the life of the culvert, but is a
menace to traffic.
An attempt to drain mud holes with
culvert pipes will fail in most cases.
The water should be drained off by
means OF open bitches; the soft mud
thrown out and replaced with just
enough good firm earth to make it level
latter consolidation with the surround
ing surface. If mud holes in earth roads
are filled with brush or stone, it will
usually result in two mud holes, one at
each end.
Repairs to roads should be made when
needed, and not once year after crops
are "laid by" One days labor, judicious-
ly distributed throughout the year, will
accomplish more and better work in the
maintenance of an earth road than the
same amount of labor expended in six
days, especially if the six days are in
August September, or October, when the
ground is hard and dry.
Because OF its simplicity, its efficiency
and cheapness, the split-log drag or some
similar device is destined to come into
more and more general use. With the
drag properly built and its use well un-
derstood, the maintenance of earth and
gravel roads becomes simple and in
expensive matter. Care should be TAX
en- to make the log so light that one
man can lift it with ease, as a light
drag can be drawn by two medium sized
horses and responds more readily to va
rious methods of hitching and shifting
positions of the operator than a heavier
one.
