HoME-MAKING NOT so EASY
Housewife seems to Be Right When
She Condemns Ideas Formulated
by the Theorists.

II am always amused" said the
housewife, according to the New York
Evening Post, 'at the proposition we
so often read and hear that munition
and factory girls enter domestic serv-
ice. The theorists seem to imagine
that such a change can be accom-
plished right about face--oyernlght,
in the twinkllng of an eye. Good house
work, of the sort that should be our
standard, is not SO easy as all that.
While don't consider that housework
requires lifelong training. yet never
have ] taken girl from factory
who knew the difference between a.
cloth for washing dishes and one for
wiping floors. AS a rule factory girl
Is ignorant Of the simplest sanitary
essentials that stand for home maxi
ing. Cooking she may be taught, and
cleaning she mny learn, but the basic
principles and habit are not picked up
SO readily. Many time have l said
to maid: Had you gone to kinder
gnrten you would never have piled
your dishes and saucers like that 1t
was at Kindergarten conference in
California, you may recall, where 1t
was said that no convicted criminal IN
That state had had Kindergarten train
ing. Besides their uncertain help In
the homes Of others think how want
ing In their own homes--when they get
them--thesc young factory girls will
bc--unless they pick up considerably
more knowledge about domestic ways
and means"

Thus my wife and have begun life
together. ] think that most Of our eve

Gated ID a kind word for life universal.
No matter how closely the warning
forces Of existence, within or without,
have pressed upon us elsewhere, when
we enter there we enter peace. We
shall be walled in from all darkness Of
whatsoever meaning; our better selves
will be the sole guests of those lumin-
Gus hours. And surely no greater good
fortune can befall any household than
to escape an ignoble evening. To attain
a noble one is like lying calmly down
to sleep on mountain top towards
which our feet have struggled upward
amid enemies all day long.--James

Some watch!

While the latest thing in watches is
the thin, round or octagon gold time
piece, Capt. Martin Van Buren Bates,
who died at his home in Seville, Ohio,
wore a watch that weighed four
pounds. 1t was set with diamonds and
delicate set of chimes sounded the
hours as the watch rested in his vest
pocket. 1t was gift from Queen Vic
toria.
It may he explained that the man
who wore the four-pound watch was a
famous giant. He stood feet 4 inches
and weighed $50 pounds. He was born
In eastern Kentucky, and served as a
soldier in the command of Gen. John
Morgan, the confederate cavalry lead
er. He later toured the world with a
circus with his first wife, Annie Swan,
who was feet tall.

New Y0rk.-Young women OF ricn

SIMPLE way 70 FIND OUT
Fussy Passenger Told Just How ne
Could Ascertuin u Car Was
Moving, or Not.

In the midst Of Nebraska snowdrifts
a train got stalled so that the wheels
would not move forward or back.
There it stood for six hours while the
conductor walked four miles to the
nearest station and got section crew
TO dig the train out.
Aboard that train fidgeted a hungry
farmer with Populist brown whiskers.
He collected the individual opinions OF
everybody in the coach as to when
the train was going to move on; anu
still he fidgeted.
At last the conductor returned.
"See here,' signaIled the farmer as
the conductor hurried through the
aisle. "Are we going?'
"Are we going" clustered the con,
ductor "You raise the window ana
>put your head opt. II the zephyrs ran
your whiskers We're going; If NOT, the
wheels Of this train are probably
frozen to the track"
The car roared with laughter as the
disgruntled whiskers rctreated into
the adjoining coach.

TRAINED WORKERS ARE BEST
Do Much More Efficient Work In Fac.
tories Than Those Without
Training.

Washington.--In reaching
the training service, department of
labor, from establishments where fac
tory training systems are In operation
Indicates that foremen, after brief
experience with the training system,
insist upon having trained workers in
their departments, for the reason that
they do much more efficient work than
those who are put into the factory on
production work at the start. Many
workmen also ask for training, In or
der to increase their earning capac-
ity, and So valuable has training
proved for peace time that last week
II factories adopted training systems,
number almost equal to the average
installation of training departments
during the war.
In one large plant there was a feel
ing Of hostility to training at the
start on the part of a number Of fore
men. When the first graduate of a
training department was put on pro
ductlon work within q week and was
found fully qualified for production
work, the foreman insisted that the
worker was exceptional. Under the
old system from three to six months
were required before workers were
able to produce the quantity and quail
ity of work required for fair days
output.
Wien considerable number of per
sons had been promoted to production
work after week or ten days In train.
ing, however, the foremen's views
changed very radically, and they re-
fused to take any applicants for work
who had not had the advantages of
the training system. AT one time,
when the training department was
full, new hand was sent at ence to
the factory for production work, and
the foreman protested vigorously.

Appetite After the
Influenza

"Hypo- Cod is indeed a wonderful
health builder and I gladly recon-
mend it. Both my daughter and my
self had the "Flu" and it left us in,
a rundown, very weak condition.
Neither of us had any appetite,
but soon as we had taken Hypo-Cod
three days each we were eating our
heads off and feeling lots better. In
fact my daughter wants to be eat
ing all the time and seems to be
always hungry. Now Pm insisting
that my husband take it as tonic.
1t is the best I've ever used in my
life," declared Mrs. Frank Blame,
2O19 4th st. S. E., Canton, Ohio.
After long wasting illness when the
system is weak and rundown Hypo-
Cod is the best possible tonic. 1t is
the newest, most improved and high
ly recommended tonic you can take.
1t is fine both for children and
grownups and because it is so pleas
ant to take it agrees perfectly with
the weak, delicate stomach.

Red Cross Public Health Campaign
Suppose every sick person desiring
the services of nurse might have
it on visit basis!
Suppose that every child could be
examined at least once a year, and
an attempt be made to have each child
requiring special attention treated by
a physician or dentist!
Suppose that every new baby were
inspected and the mother, when nee
essary, given instruction in it's care!
Suppose that all cases of tubercu-
losis might be discovered and given
nursing care!
Such a state of affairs would mean
untold improvement in the general
health of the community, and definite
decrease in the expense of keeping up
state institutions, and marked i'm
provement in the morale and intelli-
gence of the people.
Such is the ultimate scope of achieve.
ments for the public health nursing
service in any community.
Looking to this end the American
Red Cross is organizing an education
