ECONOMY IN The Use Of Gas.

The average housewife spends four
times the amount of gas for cooking
a meal than is necessary, and at the
same time positively Injuries food
values and quality of the article she
amount of heat units from a gas
range, the flame should not be turned
any higher than will give a perfect
blue flame. When the flame becomes
yellowish red you are wasting gas
and getting a heat that not only
smokes and smudges your kitchen
utensils, but decreases their longevity
to One-half.
The flame should be about one half
inch of clear blue. and after the
article you are cooking has come to
a boiling point reduce it to a point
that will just keep ii boiling. This
is equally true In the oven. invariably
the gas is turned too high for baking
and the bread or cake Is burned. This
also means waste of gas and a con-
stant anxiety about the oven, which
would not be necessary If gas were
used at lower temperature.
Marriage Age for Women.
Training and efficiency. and not
sex, should be the qualifications of
those wishing to fill positions in life,
says Dean Emile w. McVea of Can
cinnati University. She says that
girls should marry at 25, and the only
objection to a college education Is
that it raises the marriage age to 2S
or 80.

MORE VARIATION is NEEDED

When n woman finds herself thlnk,

stop right where she is and carefully
take an inventory of herself and hel
life. No one should be a drudge.
There are people doing work tha'
their neighbors might consider drudg-

TO them the work is not drudgery. 1t
Is not so much the work. but the way
II is regarded that makes of 1t drudg'
cry or not In other words, drudgery
is more or less an attitude of mind.
\ woman cannot always choose her
work. but she can choose the way she
poes about II. Often she can prevent
overtiredness by varying her work, by
not keeping at one thing too long
Suppose tho employment Is house
lleeping, and a woman feels that she
must be sweeping rooms, cooking ana
washing dishes, from morning to
night No wonder that she is fatlgued

sorts a good share of the time; that
even the thought that her home is In
"perfect order" fails TO give her salts

cry out of the work which should
give her pleasure. She Is letting the
work drive her.
She must, If she would cease to be
n drudge, adjust her mind to the idea
of not being a slave to her Work. She
owes 1t to her family and herself TO
get ont OF the rut. She can do this II
She has a mind to, and accomplish

Spring Tonic for Children.

Excellent advice for mothers at just
this season Is given in the current
number of the Woman's Home Com
panion. Here it is:
"If your children look thin, pale
and tired do not shut them up in the
house and dose them with medicines.
Remember they are already suf-
fering from seven months confine-
ment in schoolroom which may or
may not have been properly ventilated.
The langOur may be due. not only to
change of weather, but also to lack OF
fresh air and exercise.
Encourage them to play outdoors
and to eat whatever fresh vegetables
are available. Stewed rhubarb and
apples, baked or stewed with little
sugar, are appetiezrs.
"If the langour persists after you
have tried the. simple things you
know about. consult your physician"

Good housekeeping a Religion.

To all womanklnd. in fact, good
housekeeping, orderliness and thrift
should be a religion. In putting the
home in order we put our lives in or
der. for when our lines are cast in
domestic places this is the sphere for
the broadening Of our minds and the
strengthening of our hearts and Souls
We should not be slaves of the awful
cleaning days which are bound to
come sometimes; we should be sure
always of the leisure moment when
we can sit down with a friend over
comfortable cup of tea, with inter-
esting talk or new books, or with
dainty sewing and gentle chatter
about all the pleasant things which
are going on In the neighborhood and
the world. Even If we are only lax
in few ways. we must keep AT hearl
the ambition TO make ourselves finer
women by a more thorough attention
TO all the details which count for the
prosperity end delight Of our homes

Most OF the people who consult me
about divorce are more in need of a
minister than OF a lawyer" said a
prominent divorce lawyer to a woman
who recently called upon him TO hale
her husband into court
Most married people would get
along better If lawyer as well as
a minister offiCiated at the marriage
ceremony" said Judge who hears
great many divorce cases.
These terse statements embody most
of the difficulties and causes of dis
ruption in married life.
What we need in our lives is more
wise old ministers with Christlike
hearts, to whom each Of us can go
and tell our troubles with the faith
that he can and will adjust matters
upon a better basis And along with
these true shepherds of their flocks
should be more religious feeling in
each one of us.
/ truly believe that one of the main
reasons for 80 many marital failures
these days Is the lack of religion
that firm belief in God, his love and
his wrath--that once held most of us
firmly anchored to the rock Of right
doing. | believe, also, that most OF
the selfishness and crime so promi-
nent among our young people today re-
suit from the fact that they have not
learned to respect God any more than
man. one blatant lad Of II said in
my hearing a short time ago, you
can do anything as long as you can
get away with it," That's about the
kind of religion we are feeding to our
youngsters now.
A more sincere respect for the Gre
ator and his laws will bring respect
for man made laws, and-what IS
more mportant-more respect for the
rights and feeling of our fellow beings.

AS for the judges statement that a
lawyer as we'll as minister Is needed
in every marriage ceremony, he re-
ferrcd to a custom prevailing in parts
OF the old country where, before mar
riage, certain sum is agred upon and
set aside for the bride, so that in case
of death, desertion or divorce the wife
Is not financially helpless. The judge
went further, however, by stating that
the ideal marriage arrangement would
be where the husband signed legal
document setting aside n certain per
centage of his income, large or small,
as absolutely the property Of his wife.

Invite not disorder in thy home

This Is Chinese saying, so old
that nobody knows now by whom It

llvered it ages ago knew all there was
to know Of home life. He had looked
into the hearts of men, women and
children, and in thus porsonifying
disorder 1t was plain he regarded the
quality as the dire spiritual influence
which all mismanagement would
exert. The demons are not only those

How TO Clcan suede.

If you are wearing pair of fashion
able shoes, it goes without saying that
they have some suede somewhere In
their makeup. They have suede tops or
they have suede trimmings or some
place there is some suede Also as a
matter of fact, the suede becomes
soiled rather easily. Now, there are
several sorts of cleaner sold for suede
and all Of them are fairly good. But
a woman who has had much expert
ence with cleaning suede says that the
best way to clean 1t is to rub it with
a fine emery cloth. This literally rubs
off the dirt, and leaves the suede

wronged mother was sumnarilv elected,
and when outside, invited all and sundry,
in a fine bass voice, to partake of refresh
ments at Nasty when the wedding should
be over. Judge Bill faced the couple again
and muttered some rambling words.
Il do, Dave said, proudly, in voice
that could be heard over half Of Doghole.
A blackboard awaited the bridal pair and
they climbed in, showered with rice and
beans, and dried prunes when the beans
gave out. Just as Dave was gathering up
the reins, clucking the while to his eager
horses, a wild rush of galloping hoofs came
from behind, and swirl of dust enveloped
them. A moose sped, and out of the blind
ing smother the cook was dragged to earth
Two masked men bounced on him and
secured his wrists and ankles with hobble
rope
"Help me, Uncle Heneryl They done
took my girl. They've got Mary Lou, F" he
yelled. Let me up. They done stole my
wife.
Uncle Henry was making frantic efforts
to win to his side, clawing at his antagonists
in helpless fury. Bobby forced him back
with the palm Of one hand against his chest.
Il CANT, Dave the boss shouted.
They've got me, too.
They raised Dave to his feet at last, but
by that time Mary Lou was nowhere visible.
Mrs. Bill and Molly had flown, too, and
only the Davis couple remained Of the we'd
ding party. They were laughing. The
cook grinned sheepishly and asked to have
his hands and legs freed.
1 reckon this is one on me, bows" he
remarked.
He submitted to the separation without
any TRADE, and during the remainder Of the
afternoon, loitered aimlessly about town,
affecting not to care or to be seeking any
body; but at supper, when Mary Lou still
remained hidden to him, he grew thought
ful. Twice he requested them In undis-
guised concern to return him his bride, but
every man looked at the cook blankly and
denied all knowledge Of her whereabouts.
Soon Mrs. Bill entered IN haste and whis-
pered to Uncle Henry. The boss jumped
up from the table and went out. Later he
made passionate arraignment Of practical
Jokers to the gathering at Nasby's.
A jokes a joke an I kin laugh at one
with the next Ha, ha y said Uncle Henry.
But this amt joke Nobody's got

the bottom of the stairs: "Say, Dave,
perhaps it wouldn't be right to say anything
about that liz joke to the rnissus. She's
high-sperited. You won't, will you? Wo-
men don't seem to have no sense of hunor. )"
Shore won't, +" the cook assured him.
The Davis couple and Mary Lou were
waiting in a cleared space at the end of the
counter. Dawes eyes met hers and steadied;
his head lifted and he smiled. The girl
made quick, involuntary movement
toward him, but Mrs Davis restrained her.
Reb and Bobby and Lee and score of men
crowded near the entrance of the store, I'M
decided as to just how far guests ought to
intrude into such solemn functions. Davis
stood on Mary LOUIS left and behind them
were ranged Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Bill and
Molly, lending moral support to the bride
by shifting tearfully at intervals. The
Judge fused with paper he held, cleared
his throat and frowned at Uncle Henry in
order to impress upon him the gravity of
the occasion. For the life of him Uncle
Henry could not repress a weak Singer,
and he began to shuttle his feet
Suddenly large, stout person with roll

and Judge Bill paused, his hand in the air.
