in July the price was 81; in August
the Courier. in conjunction with 9th

paper at the special price OF $i.25.
but on account OF the car shortage
the paper did not arrive on time. and
500 pounds were ordered ON the 18th
at 35.s5; another order was made
on the 2sth. and the price was $7.25;
what II will be when the present

These homemakers are usually great
conservers, as they are the women
who govern the expenditure of the

make four blades of grass grow where
only one has grown before, surely it
is more of a genius that can make
one dollar do the work of two. In
their petty Kingdoms, the housewives
take care of the pennies and their I'm
gers are on the pulse of the national
commerce, which is maintained by
their purchases.
They do not specialize as do the
women who go daily to business, but
their energy expends itself in varied
and dissimilar occupations. Home
keepers have another great advantage
they are almost in the position of
the man who owns his own little bust

1t is best to treat wrinkles before they
make their appearance-that is, to guard
against them by controlling the facial
nuscIes-for wrinkles are largely the re-
suit of muscle habits. To laugh habit
uaIly induces crow's-feet and lines from
the nose to the chin. Impatience, peev-
Ishness anger and similar emotions mar
the face with frOwns and urgly burrows.
Skin that is very thin wrinkles more
quickly than the other kind and requires
more care.
The daily use OF soap. by removing all
natural oil from the face. drys out and
toughens the skin. To avoid wrinkles.
cleansing creams and oils for the remov-
ing OF dirt and CRIME are recommended.
fattening or astringent cream should be
bathed in fairly hot water after the
cleansing process, and then appropriate
fattening or astTigent cream should be
rubbed into the parts in the opposite di-
reCtiOn to that in which the wrinkle is
formed. Circular movements around the
eyes are best for crows, feet Lines
should always be rubbed up, never down,
the face.
After working in considerable cream,
the excess should be removed with a fine
2lOth and cold congresses applied to tone
up the muscles. When the skin is
thoroughly chilled, finish by hopping it
with an astringent lotion. Baggy tissues
should be tied up during the night with
congresses saturated In reliable wrinkle

much used abroad for this purpose: Pow

DOMINIC DUST CAP AND APRON.

TVEN as youngster I never
rebellet when the broom was
put into my hand and l was
told it was my turn to sweep the front
porch and steps.
l rather enjoyed it, just because ]
had learned to make little game OF
it. The game certainly had no great
originality, but the outcome of it was
to see how we'll l could accomplish
my task. Believe me, I whisked that
broom with such vengeance l gen.
orally pumped myself upon the bot
tom step, not only to rest, but regard
with pleasure the fruits of my labor.
Then Lottie and l invented another
game when we had to wash the
dishes. The cups, saucers, and plates
were passed by quickly, as they were
the most interesting part of the work,
but when it came to the knives and
forks, which all children particularly
dislike because they have to be so
carefully wiped and secured to keep
from furnishing, our game began. We
played that the forks were young So
ciety bellies who had to be dressed to
go to a ball, and the knives were
spruce, handsome young beaux who
must look very spic and span or the
shining young bellies would refuse to
accompany them.

| would polish knife, while Lottie
would diligently pair them away

keep of their honest 1t almost
amounts to religion with some
women, for to them their home is
their tcmple-the shrine of their hap

Some philosophers have said that
an untidy home is the sign OF an I'm
tidy mind. And verify do believe it.
Many censure the housewife who
gives so much of her day to the beau
tifying of her home. They criticise
her, admonishing her: I'm this pro-
gressive age you should make your
self more mentally attractive. There
are better ways of expressing your
individuality than by the dustpan and
the broom"
l do not altogether agree with
them. These Marthas of the world
are the women who make good wives
and better mothers. Ask the women
who prefer their careers to home
making and the kernel of their prin-
ciples is that every woman has right
to choose her own vocation, the thing

Representative Crosser said the people
OF the District should Insist upon self

Referring to the Board Of Education, he
said:
