More Than Enough Is Too Much.

q To maintain health, q mature man OF
woman needs just enough food to repair
the waste and supply energy and body
heat. The habitual consumption of
more food than is necessary for these
purposes is the prime cause Of stomach

the kidneys. If troubled with indiges-

THE HOUSEHOLD
Edited by ANNE RITTENHoUsE


There were some conventional
mammas of a generation ago who
drilled it into the minds of their little
girls that there were. four things a
into a barber shop window, never
walked in the city streets without
gloves. never stuck her head out of
window and never carried a newspaper
bundle.
1t may be that the first three rules
are safe to go by-and then, again, it
may not. But one thing is certain,
and that is that there are lots of wo-
men with every claim to being
ladies" who now go with any sort
of bundle they wish to. In England
it is deemed a mark of patriotism to
carry newspaper bundle. There is a
serious shortage of wrapping paper,
and besides the manufacture of any
wrapping paper means the employ
ment of labor for that purpose that
might be used to make the things of
war. Hence the women of England
now ask their tradesmen to let them
carry their bundles home in news
paper. And of course they carry
home their own packages. They
don't even take them home in
their motors because their motors are
used for war work; at best they carry
their marketing home atop a bus.
Everywherc in this country there
has been great revival of the market
basket and the shops are showing
some splendid examples of serviceable,
spacious baskets for just this thing.
They really do cost a pretty penny.
but perhaps not as prices go now.
They area good investment, however.
as an attractive basket serves as an
incentive to toting home your own
purchases end that is always patriotic.
Knitting bags are used for shop
ping purposes by lot of women ant
they have the advantage of folding
into very small places when not in
use. You can go with your bag folded
up under your ann even tho you re-
turn with it bullying with purchases.
The basket, Of course, is bulky at any
time.
