Silence Hour.

One mother of large household has
a system Of recreation which is really
a novelty. The day and its duties are
carefully apportioned. and the schedule
is followed as closely as possible. BY
doing this the mother Is able to take
one afternoon hour day for complete
rest. In her case it is from 2 to 8
o'clock. She places large placard at
this time on the stairs. proclaiming
"Silence." BY the mothers persistence
in taking this quiet hour others have
grown to respect it until it has become
part of the home. In her home the
mother really rests or else reads. No
one goes near her unless it is abso-
lutely necessary. The children close
doors quietly when they see the pla-
card and play where their voices will
not reach the mothers room At the
end of the sixty minutes the mother
reappears and takes up her usual du-
ties. Seven hours of absolute freedom
q week can do great deal to make
over and refresh weary body and
still more weary brains and nerves.
An hour for rest in almost every
household can be found If things are
done systematically.-B Times.

White Bread.

Hygienists have long called attention
to the serious consequences of the in
creasing popular preference for white
bread. At present dark colored bread
is deSpised as peasants food" In
the towns the meanest workman will
eat only white bread. The -four used
for making shis bread is obtained by
passing the meal through a very fine
sieve, so that it contains hardly any
thing but starch and celuose. White
bread. which plays an important role
with the French people, is thus ex-
tremely poor in really nourishing food.
and it is to the increasing consumption
of it that many hygienists ascribe in
France the racial enfeeblement. the
diminution of stature and even the
present development of tuberculosis.
Representations have frequently been
widely made on this subject. but with
out effect, for the bakers can provide
only what the public demands.-Paris
