NOT UP EARLY,
 HUSBANDS FRET

Dear Miss Libbey:-
 In your heart talks please advise us. We are two married women. We got on fine with OUT husbands. but one trouble is we cannot get up early in the morning. This causes our hus- bands to get very cross. We try our best, but fail to please in this regard. We retire at eight o'clock nearly every evening. Cannot arise in time to get them off at 5 o'clock. We work dili- gently all day.
 B. A. Perhaps you tire yourselves by too much worrying lest you may oversleep- Like Hoods woman who sewed shirts till worn out. at last she sewed them in her dreams. Tired Mature asserts itself at times: in dreaming we per- form duties. Better try to rest well; think it 8. pleasure to rise early, these fine mornings, which improves looks, gives good appetite, and best of all, hubby whispers goodbye to you each iwth tender feelings, and longs for the Homecoming.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING.

To Remove Blood Stains from white
goods, put kerosene oil on the spots
when either dry or wet. then wash
in warm or cold water with any laun-
dry soap. Boil to take out odor of oil.
Bedroom Ventilation-Lower bed
room window about four inches from
top. Take shade down. Then take
piece Of white oilcloth about one
fourth yard deep and width of win
dow frame; tack on edge of window
frame firmly across top edge with one
or two lacks at the side. Put window
shade up again. You will find this a
great saving to shade and curtains. 1t
also gives plenty Of ventilation and
keeps a draft from coming through
the rooms. 0ilcloth is better than
cheeseeloth; rain and snow cannot
come through.
Easy Way TO Mash Potatoes-Boil
potatoes; when done put in large sieve
and with a potato masher press
through, Mash white hot. Season as
usual

FOR THE BABY.

New Way to Put on Diaper-Fold
diaper nearly square, making it deep
er than wide, with four thicknesses.
Catch little to the left Of center of
lower edge and draw up between the
legs, pinning to the upper left corner
of the diaper: do the same with the
right side Then bring the lower cor
ners around the legs above the knees
and pin. catching the stockings from
underneath with same pin.
This gives a neat. drawer-like ap-
pearance on the baby, leaves more
room for the discharges, making it
impossible for any to escape, covers
the body from well above the waist
to knees without the uncomfortable
wad Of cloth between the thighs, which
can deform them to some extent. This
was is especially recommended for
the male child

You have done enough. He has

ably see things in their normal light
and stop dissipation of his own &C
