ELIMINATING THE SERVANT.

Many women who for years have
struggled to keep servant, are now
arriving at that "scur grapes" stage
when they declare: "oh, Nen! I don't
want Z servant anyway! It's less trou-
bic 10 do the work myself" AID they
roll up their sleeves and go AT it in
telligently. studying efficiency devices
which enable them 70 do the work In
the shortest amount of time, with the
fewest steps, and with the least expsa-
diturs OF energy. What is such q wo-
mans most serious problem? Let Us
see:
To the average woman, ironing is
the hardest part OF hOusewOTk. lFor,
few women can afford to send their
wash to q laundry. especially where
there are children VI the family and
therefore an abundance Of soilcd cloth
ingN. Washing In Il washing machine
Is not hard for them. a washing ma
Ghsas, pswer-run or haDdrun Is con-
sidered an absolute necessity nova
days; the oft-hoRri saying that the
man who eQuips his office with up-to-
date machines SHOULD equip his laundry
with 4 washing machine" is !n=eed
just statemaat). No, II - the ironing
tina; looms largest on the horizon OF the
average woman who does her own
houseworlf.
For even tho one may have power
run irons, G human hand must push
them and human arm and back nlus-
cies must ache xccordingiy. There r. no
getting around It: ironing is ironing.
And il Is hard work
But this hard work may be made
easier if the housekeeper will not at
tempt 20 do It all at one standing. The
wise woman irons only until she feels
the first sensation Of weariness; then
she stops, TO go at 1t again later. She
has more sense than 10 oveTGo at this
work.
"But-whst nuisance Il would be
to keep putting away the ironing board
and getting it out again. all the ttIne!"

And so IL would be X the modern
housekeepers had not devised a means
OF obviating such a nuisance. This is
what most OF them do:
They hire a carpenter to attach their
ironing board to the wall. h'p-high, by
putting hinges on the top of the board
at the right hand end and then fasten-
ing the hinge to the wall. Such board
as this may be swung UP, assinst the
wall when not IN use, and held there
by bar which shoots across 1t from
bracket on either side, pinning It to
tho wall; when in use, leg which -
attached TO the board by a hinge. falls
to the floor, propp.ng IL up.
To be sure, there are many var!a-
lions, of this arrangement. Some
housekcepers prefer 20 have a tail clo-
set built to conceal the ironing board
which is attached to the wall in this
wa, the board dropping out thru the
closet door when needed; others nave
the board attached TO the wall behind
door which IS usually kept open; snd
those who have Dutch Kitchens, where
"frillier" furnishings are permissible
curtain off such board.
The ingenious man of -the-honse can
often put up NJ ironing board IN this
way. thus saving the expense Of hiring
Il carpenter TO do the work. Indeed
mary women are good at h6nd!ing
tools and I have known several to do
a job Of this sort themselves rsing old
broom sticks as the prop which drops
from the small cad OF the board to the
floor. and also broomsticks for the bar
which holds the ironing board I'd place
when It IL folded up against the wall.
with this sort OF board. which one
may adjust In a moment, the house
keeper can 90 her iroalng in ten min
ute "shifts'' and thus avoid bacxaehe
from too long a period OF woTk-in
this way, solving the HARDEST problem
in doing her housewors without |. ser
want.

not be as easy as some imagine. After the civil war the regular army was reorganized with the enlisted strength limited to twenty-five thou sand. But even at that limit the ranks were never full. The war department thought it was doing well when it could count twenty-two or twenty three thousand men. People were tired of war and it was difficult to induce citizens of desirable character to en- list.
 Our soldiers have better treatment and are much better paid than they were prior to the Spanish-American war, but it would require strong ap- peals on the ground of patriotism and "a lot of recruiting stations and lot of drumming up" if Congress were to provide for an army of two hundred and fifty thousand
 But until the treaty of Versailles is signed it will be of little avail to spec ulate on the size of armies and when they may be reduced to the minimum.
