- I'D you ever stop to think now
many kinds 6f nerves there
are? You hear of worry
overwork. improper nVlng'
late hours and numerous other things
causing one to have nerves" but
among the many causes is sewing.
This Is especially true at the present
time of the year and at other seasons
when ones complete wardrobe needs
renovating or has to be supplied with
brand new things. The pity of it all is
that sewing nerves are quite un-
necessary; a knowledge Of how to
tackle the work will save one much
anxiety. After all it is small wonder
that women work themselves into such
frenzied conditions, for it is quite OBJ
vious that there are any numbe-' of
them who really don't know how to
work In the easiest and most efficient
way. This is particularly true of the
woman in the home. Various leagues
and organizations are doing much to
perfect home systems, but in spite
OF their efforts there are ignorant
souls suffering from a lack o. the
spirit of progressiveness. 1t is my
aim today to teach home sewers how
to ward off nerves" in their effort to
economic and create for themselves
individual clothing.
In the first place, select all of the
necessary materials and utensils be-
fore settling down TO sew. In this
way you will save yourself many dis
turbing starts and jumps from your
work.
In the next place select comforta-
BILE chair in which to sew. There are
many women who prefer to sit on
straight chairs to do hand sewing
while there are legions of other wo-
men who will always choose a rock
ing chair. The latter variety is all
very well provided the one sitting III
il does not expend too much energy
rocking to and fro as she sews. A
slight rocking occasionally is really
restful, for it gives one an opportuni
ty to relax little. To avoid rocking
too far back, 1t is a sensible idea t.
to place blocks of wood beneath th'
rockers in the back. or course, thu
armless chair is supposed to be more
comfortable for hand sewing than i:
the armed rocker.

This may sound like simple sug-
gestion, but those who have tried it
can testify as to its value. Before
settling down to sew, or while wait
ing for hubble to come home to din
ner, thread a pack of needles with the
various cottons or silks you will use
during the sewing process, and you
Will find the preparation a great help
in Fastening your progress and pre-
serving your nerves. Such a precau-
ton will be found particularly help
full if one has night sewing to do. The
eye of the needle seems to be much
more elusive in the black hours than
in those filled with golden sunshine.
You have all heard of women who
wait until the eleventh hour before
beginning their sewing or before real
izing that a garment must be complies
ed by stated time-perhaps you are
guilty yourself. In that case, it is
needless for me to tell of the bad case
of nerves brought on by such foolish
ness l urge you to begin now to do
your summer sewing. Take your time
at the work and the result is sure to
be highly satisfactory.
Oh. yes, another hint for facilitat-
ing the work. A very long time spent
at lap sewing produces pain in the
hack OF the neck and causes tired
feeling in the eyes. If one must go on
with the work a delightful rest for
these tired parts can be gained by
placing a pillow on the lap and rest
ing the elbows on l.. This changes the
focus of the eyes and causes the head
to be held in a different position. Just

Of over 1890 feet.
The year 1917 will see a more ex-

industry in the Trinidad district. the
opening of properties which have been

mined is zinc. lead and silver.
Don Valdez, who is leasing piece
of ground in the Madonna mine at
Monarch, has shipped four cars OF
ore, which run high in lead. The lead
occurs principally as a carbonate with
some native lead among 1t. The ore
also carries good per cent OF silver

sum for the leasers.
