 Not only the city folks are busy over freshening up home. Everywhere as the trees begin to bud and the birds to build their nests n new life springs forth and desire to have a part in making life better and brighter is mate with man.
 A letter from a country housekeeper indicates the spirit of getting ready for harvest times.
 We country folks are very busy these days. I have gardened a little (though my man did not come and I could not do muoh). Made a pot of soap, washed off both my COW and heifer.

SAGE TEA KEEPS

Gray hair, however handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the ad- vantages of a youthful appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face.

 Don't stay gray! Look young!

is giving a purer atmosphere to the house.
 The dust cloth takes off the remain ing dust. Fresh bedding, tidies and cur tains giving the finishing touches to bed- room renovation and this much done consumes Monday mornings. This sys- tenn each week alleviates much of the confusion of general cleaning when everything is thrown into confusion and the liege lord returns to find he is in the midst of genuine family disturbance. The living room and dining room can be treated in the same manner. I have found 1t convenient to engage several hours of extra help from the wash woman each Monday, as she soon learns the habits and articles of the home and knows how to treat them. Then, too. she gets a deeper interest in bringing in better laundered clothing.
 The greatest source of hard work fin everything we do Is the lack of system, and also the total lack of knowing how to do things oneself. We expect more of hired help than is just. often without the knowledge of taxing or equipping them.
 Housekeeping is an art, and thanks to the progress of education, some of it's phases have entered the school room. The theory is taught which gives a taste for the duties, but the real lesson is in practice. Every girl Is better off for having had her home duties She prob ably while going through the experience thinks she is wronged. cheated of some of her girlhood freedom, but more ma ture years finds her grateful for the fertilization.

 Housecleaning is necessity, but 1t does occur to us that we have managed to make it burden.
 There are so many modern accessories to housekeeping. ridding the duties of so much drudgery that the routine duties with their application should be relieved of much weary work.
 Every office of home making has a distinct part to play in our operation of home and we all know what that lack of interest breeds. It is far more appa- rent than a real love of the work. We expect the latter and are surprised at the former.
 Experience would suggest that the week day for cleaning be after Sunday, instead of the day before. Monday in- stead Of Saturday. Then much of the debris left of mans making, In the nature of cigar stumps and ashes, are moved in

Germans Eating Cake

Berlin, March 25.-(Correspondenc of the Associated Press.)-Those who have been unable to adapt their appetites to the new style of bread now in use in Germany have taken advantage of the rule allowing a certain percentage of white flour to be used in cake, and are eating so much of the latter that the mayor of Berlin has had to issue a warning to them. He declared that the permission to use flour in cake does not indicate a permission to use cake with out restriction, and says that this sub- stitute for bread must be eaten spar ingly. The continuance of the habit of using cake without limit. he says. will be followed by action on the part of the [authoritieS

 The care of the kitchen has progressed more in the past 25 years than any sys- tenn of housekeeping. Formerly the lSitch- en was great big room. just to work in. with this for its purpose. it was bur dened with debris, kindling wood, even a kerosene can, for the convenience of the cook. Today the kitchen has as- sumed more convenient size and is built to admit just enough furniture for comfortable work. This saves mileage and weariness. Again, utensils for the modern service are so much more easily cleaned, and can be placed so as to give dec orative touch to the cabinet Every day there should be pouring in of fresh air and warm suds to this part of house work. There should be no accumulated garbage or dirt. No substance kept over that would create impurities.
 These observations daily or weekly really lessen the need of tearing the premises to pieces for a revival of order and cleanlinessS
 Housekeeping demands constant plan ming. stockkeeping and bookkeeping, as we'll as time saving. Few people really appreciate the value of planning ahead. There is a tendency to act without a direct consideration of what might re- suit For instance menus gotten up re- gardless of consequences are often con trary to health and tributaries to waste.

 Worry is a bad accompaniment. 1t freights the general undertaking with general lack of interest. When the small things worry the head of the house is il a wonder that the hired help catch the spirit and become indifferent to sugges- tions? There must be harmony in the workshop to make success.
