TODAY's HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
BY Mary Lee.

time. We are no longer dependent in
an emergency upon the supplies of our
own storeroom. Another factor that
will have to enter into our calculations
today is the fluctuations in prices of
staples. Laying in staples in large
quantities becomes something OF
gamble. Thirdly. we have to consider
the question of time and waste. We do
not and cannot spend today as much
time and labor in the overseeing and
managing of our households as did our
grandmothers.
Our lines are fuller, more complex,
and many women are now engaged in
economic labor outside of the home.
To guard against loss and to check
waste in large quantities of household
supplies requires time, attention and
supervision that few Of US are prepared
to give.
pie season one buys her apples by the
barrel They are cheaper certainly, but
have you the time and patience to go
over that barrel Of apples, take out the
arately in paper? Yet that will be nee
essary to keep the bad apples from
spelling every apple they touch, and
this should be done several times dur
ing the winter to guard against rotting.
Then. again, and this is an important
question, are you sure that you will use
or need to use SO many apples?
In other words. when you buy in
quantity are you not tempted to buy
too lavishly? If you bought fruit as
you wanted it, would you not, on the
whole, spend less?
These are questions which every
housewife should look into carefully
before she buys supplies wholesale. In
many cases it may still prove to be
more economical, but nevertheless there
are others where it has certainly ceased
to be an economy. 1t Is a question for
the individual to decide. but a question
1t surely is, and no one rule can govern
every case.
How to Avoid Colds.
We all know about wet feet and
drafts. but these are only two of the
many means of taking cold, and two to
which many people are not in the least
susceptible. No two persons are the
assiduously avoid sitting in drafts and
then find that you have taken a bad
cold because you have kept your house
overheated. The first step to preven-
tion is to study yourself and find out
to what you are most susceptible. Here
are some of the most common causes
for catching colds-bad air, crowded
rooms, drafts, underheated or over
heated houses, too heavy clothing, SO
that one becomes easily overheated in
a warm room; overwork and fatigue,
that leave one subject to infection
damp clothing, and chill.
A little common sense will teach us
to which of these causes most of our
colds are attributable. If it is bad
air. avoid crowded cars and rooms as
much as possible. If 1t is fatigue that
weakens your resistance and leaves you
an easy prey to cold germs take extra
care Of yourself when you are tired
Give up whatever you may have plan
ned for that evening and go to bed and
rest il you go home overtired.
II after all Of your precautions g
cold steals on you unawares, remember
that the only. way to stop it is when il
first starts. You must cure it at the
very first sniff or else it will run its
course. Eat lightly. take something
very hot to drink and go to bed. Rest
warmth and a good sleep may stave Il
off.

Another reason may be found. un-
