PUT EASE BEFORE DRUDeERY
Every Device for Improving Methods
Of Housekeeping Should Be
Employed.

There are thousands of housekeep-
ers who cannot take q summer trip.
but they can greatly improve their
methods Of housekeeping. First. free
the house of unnecessary articles to
sweep. wash. dust. iron or move. Only
the useful and the beautiful should re-
main. A porch may be made the
greatest of blessings to the summer
housekeeper IL sheltered by vines. The
Dutchman's pipe IL q fast-growing
vine. and the moonvine and morning
glory make rapid growth. Do all the
work you can out here, or under big
tree in the yard. such as Smelling peas.
stringing beans. pairing apples and
divers other tasks, which will suggest
themselves to the thinking house
keeper.
When work is finished. sit out on
the porch or under a tree, anywhere
but indoors, and don't forget the pic
mics. Don't tire. yourself out by baking
a lot Of fancy dishes. Make good.
plain things which will be relished out
of doors. Do nothing that is not abso-
lutely necessary. Once in a while take
an entire afternoon for sleep. reading.
lounging under the trees, or resting in
the way most helpful to you.

Laundry Notes.


The ideal wash boiler is at least
copper-bottomed. This is to conduct
heat and avoid rust. It has, too. a
faucet to allow Of easy removal of the
water.
A washing machine should be en-
ployed to save wear and tear on the
human machine. There are three
types of mechanical washers-the
dolly" or dasher. and churn type,
generally operated by hand. The
vacuum or suction type. also hand-op-
Grated. The cylinder generally used
in laundries has two drums, one re-
volving inside the other. and the rock
ing or oscillating type. one cylinder
Of metal or wood swaying back and
forth without dasher or beaten. The
rocking type IL least wearing on the
clothes, and it and the cylinder type
are preferable II they can be operated
by power. Before choosing any wash
er. 1t is best to have an actual demon
stration and thoroughly understand
the cost of operation per hour. etc.. Of
the machine before buying.

GOOD HOMEMADE ICE BOX
Costs Little and, According to lnven-
tor, Keeps Ice In Condition
for . Long Time.

An economical Ice box is described
by its owner and maker as follows:
For this I bought a wooden box
about four feet long. two wide and Is
inches high. being careful to select
one closely built next / bought q
pair Of cheap hinges and made a top
which fitted closely. Across the bot
tom of the box took OF a strip
through the center IL inches wide.
then l fitted across the bottom. on
the outside, a piece of wire netting.
Inside, across the center. put q strip
about ten inches wide and as long as
the box is wide. which l can take
out and scald. This holds the piece
of ice without having 1t come in con-
tact with the wire and cause 1t to
sag. keep two wooden cloths to
wrap around the ice. taking out one
each morning, scalding it and let
ting 1t hang in the sun. Next to the
ice I put newspapers. then the cloth.
and the ice keeps splendidly. The
box is on legs and the water drains

Of cub No. 4. A quick search re-
vealed the three other cubs dead from
suffocation.
The keepers say that such instances
are not unusual. and are due to the
mothers irritation at being dis
turbed. A mountain lion mother re-
CARDS privacy as absolutely essential
in raising her family. and resents the
approach of any one to her den.
The fact was forgotten ut the zoo
with the sudden arrival of Nellie's
family.
Nellie and her cubs were assigned
to q shallow den near q wire Enclosure.
where hundreds Of persons pass each
day. So many visitors. the keepers
believe, upset her temper and caused
the untimely end of fine litter. each
Of which was worth SIS.
Two more lions In the zoo are to
be mothers soon, and the mistake
made with Nellie and her family will
not be repeated. Each of the lions
will be provided with a den in q re-
mote part Of the zoo Enclosure, where
visitors may not annoy them.

crew ran forward to pay their re-
spects to the himulkee.
From then ON there was very little
work done ON board the Kaxambs. II

crew to drop all work about every ten
minutes In the day while they pol

peared.
When rescuers reached the bottom
Of the shaft they found McDonough
lying unconscious on top Of the cage
with the baby on his breast, its arms
clasped tightly around his neck.
The swiftness Of his plunge had
been SUFFICIENT to cause the man to
pass the baby a. both shot downward.
McDonough had turned over and
grasped the steel cable attached to
the cage. and this broke the fall and
saved his life.
Just a. he landed on the cage the
baby dropped on his shoplder. Nc
Donough's ankle bone was broken. the
ngaments In one Of his legs were torn
loose and IL ribs were fractured. The
