Ever since our iorefathers landed

women OF America have been having

EdithcC. Johnson in an article prepared

even bigger than carrying on the war.
1t is as big and wide as humanity itself.

Some Tips to Make Your Work Easier.
Wash your silk hose every time YOU
take them off and they will wear
longer
Just after removing the washing
from the line, turn the fine spray Of
the garden hose on them, then roll
them up and put them in the basket.
This saves the second handling to
sprinkle the clothes.
After being worn for some time the
feet Of white stockings are apt to be-
come stained or discolored and ord
nary washing fails to whiten them
Leaving them hanging out in the raw,
over night will often entirely remove
