HELP A GOOD CAUSE.

The owners OF the light plant
propose the organization of stock
company for the purpose Of in
creasing the capital in order to ex-
tend the operations of the plant.
Lack of capital has been draw
back, and our progressive citizens
how have an opportunity to help
make the enterprise success.
Its promoters were encouraged
to put their money. in the plant.
Surely those who encouraged them
will rally to their, support. 1t is
your duty to do SO, for the town
can i'll afford to let the enterprise
die for lack of funds.
The promoters fully realize now
that they failed to count the cost.
They were misled or overlooked
the need and cost Of meters, and
were misinformed about other mat
tiers which induced them to put in
the plant. For instance, they were
told the town was wired for 500
lights. They made the discovery,
after putting in the plant, that the
wiring was for less than 300 lights.
Material is high, and it cost
something to wire for lights. No
thought, it seems, was taken of this
item of cost in making an estimate
to guide them. in summing up the
probable cost of the plant. This
is unfortunate, but it can be COR
rected if Camden's citizens will
rally to their support.
So far as the lights are con-
cerned the enterprise is success.
Camden has better lights than
many towns where the patronage is
better and the conditions more
favorable.
AS matter of fact the promo
ters of the light plant did not ex-
pect to realize much on the invest
ment at first, and inasmuch as they
need funds to finish wiring the
town and putting in meters, our
business men-the men who are
most concerned about the welfare
of the town-shonld come to the
rescue and make it success.
In this way the town be well
lighted and it will not be necessary
for few patrons to bear the bur-
den of maintaining the plant,
"Bear ye oneanother's burdens" is
an injunction eminently applica-
BILE in this as we'll as in a spiritual
way.

If the floor is of tile or unfinished wood, 1t
should be scrubbed This is not so serious as it
sounds, because the long-handled scrubbing
brushes and self-wringing mops that are now
part of every proper kitchen equipment make
it possible to do the work with the least pos
sible expenditure Of time and energy The best
scrubbing brush is three-cornered and moves
easily on the handle, turning in all directions
and fitting into small spaces. The mop is used
for rinsing and wiping the floor after it has
been scrubbed. If you put small quantity of

should always be cool, you will find the dirt
vanishing like magic.
Floors covered with oilcoth or linoleum
should not be given such vigorous treatment.
If you scrub them at all use only mild soap
and be sure to rub dry. AS rule, scrubbing
is necessary only at rare intervals, as wping
with a cloth is sufficient for all ordinary pur-
poses. If you have oilcloth or linoleum on the
floor It is a good plan to apply thin coating
of varnish or shellac once or twice year.
KITCHEN WOODWORK AND SHELVES
Oiled or vanished woodwork should not be
washed. But also neither should be in prop
erly equipped kitchen. If the woodwork is
enameled it may be treated in the same way
as the walls.
1t is by far the best plan to enamel all
kitchen shelves. They are much more attrac
tive and very much easier to keep clean than
those covered with paper or oilcloth.
Dust the shelves by wiping off carefully with
a damp duster A very good one is made of a
square yard of cheesecloth hemned. To
dampen it, hold it in the steam of teakettle
or dip one-haf in hot water, fold over on the
dry half and wiring very dry. Just the least

in another sense the home should furnish
rest from the strife Of money-getting. In the
home the daily problem of charging ones bust
ness is temporarily laid aside, and the woman
who presides over the realm which accom-
plishes this result is maintaining dignity
equal to that Of any Of her brothers.
The keeping of home demands unselfsh
service, n sacrifice of the ease and sef-indul-
gence which the boarding house and hotel may
afford But is it not worth all it costs-not IN
money values, but in the consciousness OF the
good that is accomplished for others?
DON'T TRY TO DO TOO MUCH
The business woman who keeps house often
tries to do too much. In these days OF dell
catessen and prepared foods OF the most excel
lent quality it is surprising how one may re
duce the amount of cooking, and still live well.
Even those who cherish a special antpathy
toward canned goods" may find at our mod
ern exchanges, church sales counters and pri-
vate caterers shops the most substantial as
well as the most dainty preparations for the
table.
We need not cook our own meat or concoct
our own salad 10 make il fit into our own little
scheme Of housekeeping. 1t is ours because II
is served at our own table, amid the pleasant
condolences of our privacy. 1t is ours because
il is brought in and made sacred to our home.
MAKE YOUR PLAN AND STICK TO III

decide Just how much we can do without Dur
dening ourselves too heavily, then make our
plan and persist in it until we become almost

know from experience that it is possible TO
become SO adept in making every movement
effective that the light work Of the morning and
evening hours fairly rolls of ones hands with
out any conscious effort But it requires pa
tience, persistence and the rigid preservation
Of order in all our belongings TO so train our
powers for sub-conscious action.
In making our choice of domestic activities
it has always seemed to me that the one meal
which every home-lover Graves at his own table
is breakfast.
In our own tiny htchenetts we prepare this
meal for two every morning. While our home
is modern, the downstairs tenants have mo-
nopoly Of the gas stove and electric toaster. 50
we get this meal on q single burner oil stove
and an alcohol lamp.
While the cereal is cooking we set the table
and begin the coffee. Then como our poached
eggs; simply dropped in hot water and left
standing a few moments. Next, our little oil
burner Is placed by tho table, and the bread
toasts while we enjoy our oranges and cereal.
Lastly comes the dishwashing, always done by
the one who did not get the breakfast, and we
are ready for school, usually without hurry or
fatigue. We come homo to tidy, orderly
suite of rooms after our strenuous days work,
and maintain that it is far moro restful. less
expensive and more conducive to the best in
terests Of body and soul than the existence OF
the boarding house.

clothing laundry and household machinery.

HOW is HOUSEKEEPING A PROBES
SION?
A few months ago it was my privilege to
hear a lecture by one of the greatest soci-
ologists in this country on "The Ethics OF the
Professions" There was something unique
in his Interpretation of professional service
as distinguished from the service rendered IN
the commercial and business realms. The
analogy may be far-fetched, but cannot re-
sist the temptation to apply some Of his dis-
tinctions to the subject of housekeeping as
profession.
The professional person renders service
that cannot be rendered by the non-profes-
sional person. He must not use the methods
of the commercial world if he wishes to main
tain his dignity as a professional man. he
must care more for the professional results of
his work than for the financial results. In
other words, his work is measured by the
good he can accomplish for others.
May not these distinctions be applied TO the
work Of housekeeping, or, as prefer to call 1t,
housekeeping? Surely the homekeeper renders
a service which cannot be duplicated when she
provides for herself and others who are bound
to her by ties of love deep friendship
refuge, place of rest and peace, centre from
which all that is best in life must radiate.
1t is this conception Of the home as the cen
ire which is being lost in our modern days. and
it is the conception which all women should
6ebt for. Like the outside professional world,

these EXPENSES We must often be religious IN
our avoidance Of the drygoods stores and mil
lineries We fairly scheme to cut down laun-
dry bills.
But we reve in a vacuum cleaner, in oil mops
and busters, and we are not forever cleaning
house. We find it more economical to avoid
getting the house dirty.
The successful business housekeeper must be
blind to "fads" and deaf to the calls Of the
world which demand that she keep up with
her neighbor, whose outlook and outlay in life
may be far removed from hers 1t is her
home, sacred to the needs of those for whom
she maintains 1t.
TOO MUCH ROOM IS A BURDEN
We may like large rooms and plenty Of them,
but We NEAR housekeepers" cannot afford to
be spread over too large territory. Neither
can we afford anything but the greatest sim
plicity in furnishings
Get rid Of everything that catches and holds
dust, and keep up q continual crusade against
tho useless or worn out In clothing, linen, books
and papers, everything that lies around and
consumes time in handling and keeping clean.
There is such a thing as being a genius In
the using Of things and the passing to others
Of what has lost its usefulness to US. The busi-
ness woman who keeps house needs to be that
kind of a genius.
At the beginning Of each season fasten my
attention upon certain articles which VOW
shall be judciously used and then destroyed
before 1t Is time TO pack them away again.

time and space are limited.
THE INEVITABLE SECOND PLACE
OF course, the business woman must admit
that her homo takes second place in her life.
But second place is far better than no place.
The winner Of the second prize frequently
turns out better than the winner Of the first.
Sometimes we wonder IL these busy women OF
the workaday world do not have higher APP
probation of their homes-f they do not derive
from them truer inspiration and greater
centrifugal force for good-than do some OF
the women who arc satiated with the satisfac-
ton Of continuous occupation. The homo which
must take second place may be power larger
than we have reckoned it to be, for its presid-
ing genius may-nay, she often is-a woman
of broader sympathies, wider knowledge and
keener judgment than her apparently more
fortunate sister.

thing in its place"
