FEWER PLACES TO DUST.

There Is no way to get around the
busting problem. That Is to say, We
must dust Like washing dishes. dust
ing our room Is a necessity. II we neg
lect il. we are soon reminded Of our duty
by a choking atmosphere whenever there
10 n dreught and by streaked and dirty
furniture. cobwebs in corners and a
smudge over everything.
No, we cannot neglect busting for very
long without noticing the results. The
only thing We can do is to decrease the
number Of articles to be dusted-decrease
the dust-collecting surfaces.
To begin with. If it is possible to plan
the house you live in. have it made with
simple woodwork. Baseboards with only
one or two fittings are far simpler than
those of intricate turning. And the same
holds true Of wood paneling of any sort
and Of door and window frames Fortu-
nately the day of ornate plaster cornices
is past They harbored dust in an aston
ishing manner.
Next. bare floor collects less dust
than carpets. So. il possible. have all the
floors in your house well painted. oiled
or waxed. and use rugs. In summer,
when all the windows are open all the
time. remove some OF the rugs. A din
ing-room without rugs Is far easier to
care for than one with rugs. And II felts
are fastened on the legs of the chair
there is little danger of scratching the
floor. After each meal the room can be
made free Of crumbs and dust with a
soft brush or an oiled mop.
Then there are ornaments-the dust
collectors Of the house. II you have
many valuable curios. by all means keep
them in cabinets under glass. If the
doors are tight they will not need fire.
quent busting.
As for other ornaments. have as few
of them in evidence. especially in sum-
mer, as possible Use glass flower hold
ers and when they are not in use keep
them on a pantry shelf. And pack away
many of the little nicknacks that you
wish in evidence in winter, for they do
little, in summer, save gather dust. So
much of the summer life is spent out of
doors that we do not notice a bare
looking house. save to feel that it is
restful and cooler than one filled with
trifies.

coveted decorations that q woman can
wear, rivaling the Carnegie medals for
life-saving in America. The Order Of the
Royal Red Cross is another distinction
reserved for women only. 1t Is given for
merit and valor displayed in nursing.
The Order of St. John Of Jerusalem

The High Cost of Dying.

Having pretty thoroughly thrashed out
the h. C. l. 1t certainly is no win order
to take a fling at the high cost of dying.
According to the Pictorial Review it is 50
costly that dying is almost prohibitive.
It says:
In small country town there lived a
school-teacher whose salary was sAS a
year. He had a wife and one child BY
the most grinding sort of economy he
actually put by few dollars and after
half dozen years he had SIS saved. Then
his little girl fell III. Like her father and
mother. she had never really had enough
to eat, so that in her poorly-nourished
condition not even the best of care
could save her life. The child was buried
simply and decently. When the father
reckoned up the cost of his tragedy, he
found himself facing the appalling In
debtedness of $o6s ~
The $So Of savings exactly balanced
the burial costs. leaving the father PEN

A Bird of III Omen.

The Swiss papers report that a beau
tiful bird. strange to Switzerland, which
has appeared in limited numbers in the
Engadine. has caused apprehension
among superstitious Swiss folk. 1t is
traditionally believed that the bird Wis
tied Switzerland in $50 where there was
a famine. in 17si. when there was great
internal political disturbances. in 1866
when the country was afflicted with
pests. and. lastly, in 1910 during the
Franco-German war. So far as known.
it has not been seen in Switzerland since
then. Bird students believe they have
identified the visitor as the "bombycilla
garrulus," popularity known as the silk
tailed starting. which is supposed to have
its habitat in Lapland.-Cincinnati Com

Mrs. T. ". writes: Can you tell me
how to cure dandruff In my little girls

A good and simple remedy for dandruff
is vaseline. Take a little on the tips OF
your fingers and massage it well into
the roots Of the hair. Be careful not to
get 1t on the hair itself, as that will
necessitate more frequent washing Ap-
ply 1t every night for a week or two,
then once or twice q week, and the dan
-druff will disappear. Occasional appli.
cations.will be needed to keep 1t out.

Kitchens Up.to-Date.

At the Panama Exposition at San Fran
cisco women are shown, in a model
kitchen. the result of mans study to
tighten household labors. The complete
model kitchen. sent to the exposition by
the Department of Agriculture. is a
composite of ideas found in many model
kitchens and is designed to show the
housewife the essential principles of con-
venient kitchen arrangement From this
ideal the American woman can Judge
what conveniences suit her, and the con-
ditions she has to meet. She will learn
that q small rather than a large kitchen
promotes efficiency with the least exer-
tion on the part of the worker. The table
stove. and sink ought to be as near to-
gether as possible to save travelling back
and forth and the distances to supply
closets, pantry. and dining-room should
be short The height OF the sink should
be such as viii suit the height of the
average woman.

CHINA MADE IN U. S. A.
Already Beginning to Compare with
Foreign Product.

The American potters are beginning
to feel the effects of the European war
in a manner very satisfactory to them
selves. Not only are their wares de-
manded in the cheaper grades. which has
been the case for sometime. but costly
wares of the highest grade are being
called for. The works at Trenton. n. J..
and there must Be thirty or forty of
these, are producing perhaps the best
china and pottery made in America. the
highest class paste and most artistic
decoration.
The Lenox ware is very fine and much
in demand. a pattern called Virginia,
based on Colonial designs and decorated
in gold. Another design more suitable
for country house or cottage use is called
Chinese blue. an adaptation of the an
cient patterns on those wares so much in
demand a century ago.
Pottery and china making is not so
new in America as you might think. AS
early as 1850 the German potters settled
In Eastern Pennsylvania were making
their crude but interesting earthenware.

One Of the ideas in vogue when we were
children-that each child should have
certain regular household duties to per-
form-seems to be going out of fashion
in these days. Many mothers say to me:
The children have so much to do out
side the home that l want them to rest
and play when they are here. Besides.
all these household things are taught in
the schools now.
think We must unlearn some Of our
modern lore about child training: we are
running too fast in the direction Of art-
fcial systems of training for our real,
ultimate good. l know some of the edu-
cational experts age going to take issue
with me on this. but I shall still believe
that exercise taken merely for the sake
of the training fails to produce the best
type of. physical development. As we'll
expect more practice in public speaking
to make burning eloquence. or copying
rhetorical periods in the copybook to
produce a vigorous style Of writing!
These are all well in their way; We
need the practice to teach US how. but
back of the performance must be real.

article. to make it worth while. eloquent,
or vigorous. -.
In young children the need for self
expression-what some call the play in
stinct-supplies this motive: but as they
grow older we must develop their char
acter and give them self-reliance by
means of real work. to which real re-
sponslbility is attached.
I believe in giving the children work.
I said that at a mothers meeting not
long ago. and one earnest-eyed woman
said to me very impressively:
Then are we to understand that you

And in the hundreds OF boys camps
that are in full swing this month
youngsters who at home would scorn
so much as to lift a finger toward
helping to set the table If the waitress
left, who would look helpless if con-
fronted with raw potato and knife
if the cook left, who would sleep on
the floor rather than admit that they
could possibly make bed, are doing
all sorts of houSework. Perhaps
they don't admit it. but they enjoy
this part of camp life. When they
are on galley duty they peel potatoes
and onions, string beans and shen
peas. shave ice and make ice cream,
and do many other things that would
fall to the share OF their sisters at
home, if servants failed And they
learn to wash their clothes, some of
them. TO air and make their beds, to
set and wait on the table, and to dust

Well. according to some of us,
these boys are just training for the
future. For. who knows? They may
all OF them marry suffragists who are
two busy carrying on the work of the
world to squander their time at
home. And until somebody has
solved the servant problem and some
body else has perfected community
housekeeping, somebody will have to
peel onions and dust the furniture and |
wash the clothes.

WHEN IS A COOK-AND WHY?

As everybody knows, the greatest
cooks in the world are men. So
cooking, one of the supposedly femi
nine arts, reaches its highest perfec-
ton when it is practiced by man.
The ordinary man, however, shuns
housework. Some men go SO far as
to call it unmanly. And so much are
we creatures of habit and custom that
most women would rather slave over
a stove and scrub pots and pans
themselves than to have their hus-
bands trespass on their supposedly
feminine domain.
1t is interesting to see how many
men are adopts at cooking and house
keeping when they get a chance to
show their ability in these lines. In
the army many men develop a truly
housewifely capacity for making
their quarters homelike, and many
men work wonders with army rations
in the way of good things to eat
The Australian soldier bakes his
own army biscuit as he needs it For
this he uses -four and water and bak-
ing powder, and he mixes these in
gradients. forms them into a cake,
and bakes them on a stone, under a
tin cover, spread with hot wood
ashes. The result is palatable-and
probably far more palatabic than the
biscuits that would be served at
home.
