y period, but others never think Of max
ing such a suggestion. They arrange
menus that are simple and easily
prepared, and do away with ali the
little niceties of service which are a
part Of their tables at other times
Egiving their families plenty OF nour-
iishing food, but not attempting any
fancy dishes, and cutting down on
deserts or making use OF fruit, which
needs no preparation.
ITO boil a small ham or half OF a
large one Is one sensible note in pre-
pairing for the annual spring house
cleaning. Nothing is nicer to have
on hand. and we can have it hot for
dinner the first day and sliced cold
for the second. For the third dinner
there can be minced ham on toast and
ham omelet and the other meals can
be easily got with egg dishes-eggs
are most reasonable now-and abun
dance OF fresh fruit. or making use
Of the canned or preserved fruits
which would not be apt to keep well
during the very hot weather that is
sure to be with US III a few months.
BY arranging the work in advance,
and making out a schedule of what
is to be done each day, a great deal
of time, work and money may be saw
ed-and great deal Of worry, which
is the thing that wears more than
anything else. Don't try to do every
thing at once. Divide the house. into
sections, and work on one section at
a time Then when that is done, shut
it off and take up another section.
Things to Think Of When Moving.
IF you are planning to move within.
the next few weeks-this is the time
OF year when more people move than
at any other season-be sure to take
note of certain most important matters
which may have an influence for good
or evil on the whole remainder OF
your life.
I'm the first place. wherever pos
sible, select a house with plenty of
light in all the rooms and good ven
ti1ation. and one with dry cellar.
If you like the house and it seems
suited to your needs. but the cellar
is damp or some other defect exists,
do not twait until you have signed the
lease or moved in tc complain about
these things
| Make air your demands for needed
Improvements or chances before you
have signed any lease, and it is al
ways good thing to have the prom
Use of these in writing from the agent
or owner. This is easily obtained by
writing him yourself, setting forth
the things wanted, and keeping copy
of the letter.
Then, if he agrees to do wha ii you.
have asked, and later some things
are not done, YOU have good backing
for any complaint you may be justi-
lied In making. Verbal promises are
upheld by courts sometimes, but as a
rule they are not binding especially
L. q f7f.l,
to any court.
Never move into house that has
been lived in by others until the
rooms have been thoroughly fumigat-
ed and every part Of the premises
cleaned. and the plum bing tested by
q competent plumber And do not
risk your health or that of your fam
lily. by moving into a new house which
is not thoroughly dried out
fFumlgation is a simple matter. IN
any drug store you can buy formal
hehyde candles, and full directions
come with these. If, however, you
| know or have cause to believe that
contagious or infectious diseases have
l3exfsted in the house you are thinking
of taking, make it a stipulation that
1t be thoroughly fumigated by an ex-

Even il you have to pay for such a
service, it is cheaper and far more
satisfactory to do so than to pay
much larger sums later in bills for
doctors, nurses and medicines and
then perhaps lose health or life.
"One Of the most important things
to remember when moving is to get
rid of all the old things that have
