The Weekly
Time Table

1t is n difficult thing for some
women to learn to be moderate in
their efforts in homework. The
thing that makes sweeping injur-
ious very often is too much OF this
sort of eXertion at once. Fifteen or
twenty minutes use of the broom
each day would hardly prove ex-
cessive for the woman of average
strength, yet there are very few
women who can stand six times
twenty minutes--two hours sweep
ing at time-which would be
what your twenty minutes a day
would amount to in n week.
One housewife has found 1t Il
great help TO make many copies OF
her weekly schedule OF time. These
she ruled off for herself and now
she has supply on hand so that
she can make out n fresh schedule
for every week. There are certain
hours that will remain similarly
occupied. Meal time, rising time
and certain other assignments will
remain the same throughout but
the variations that Will naturally
occur each week are thought over
by this housewife, who takes
certain time every Sunday to MI
in the time table for the coming
week.
This takes quite load of re-
sponsibility from this housewives
mind. She looks on each days as
signmcnt at the beginning of the
day and has the satisfaction OF
knowing that If she does what is
there before her on the schedule
she will do the days share OF the
weeks work, that things Will not
be piling up for her for the end OF
the week and that her work OF
housekeeping will be we'll done.

IN HOSE kindly gentlemen, the
reformers. have come to the
conclusion that where there
is so much smoke there must be
some tobacco, and where there is
tobacco there is sinfulnes3, sloth,
degeneracy and crime. and this,
may it be said, is, Of course, abb
solutely correct.
1t is not difficult to trace the
path that tobacco has cut through
our national manhood and Is now
cutting through our womanhooi.
Look at Mark Twain. What a
man he might have been If he had
not yielded to the temptation OF
tobacco. He might have become
great author. known the world
over and might have left a heri-
tage in books that would have
been an inspiration to future gen.
crations and a delight to the
young as we'll as the ole. A vic
tim of this loathsome weed, he
passed away in obscurity, I'M
known and unsung.

Cats and Clover

The activities of all living things
are closely allied-one group OF or
ganisms cannot increase inordi-
nately without another group being
adversely affected. In short, nature
is always in a state of euuipoise.
Cruel she may appear at times, but
her very cruelty is a necessity II the
wheels of the world are to run
smoothly. Darwin summed up the
phrase, Balance of nature" very
aptly. He showed how the yield 81
clover crop depended upon cats.
From cats to clover seems FAR
cry to the ordinary man: not 90,
however, to Darwin. 1t is well
known that clover will not set its
seed unless fcrtilized by humble
bees. Among the enemies of these
bees are field mice. and field mice,
in common with all others of their
kind, are eagerly dcvoured by cats.

Ny husband and i understand each

But the most essential thing is con-
fldence in married life. and we GER

have your husbands meals all
ready on his return; so nice to see
him come in with n happy look on
his face. But don't expect to live
happily when your life has not been
built on a foundation of confidence.

BIRTH
CONTROL.

My dear T. +. L., birth control
does not mean race suicide. 1t
means race sense. We believe in
bringing children into the world
with healthy bodice and strong
minds. and after they are here to
give them the time and care they
are entitled to.
1t is cowardice to cling TO a
crowd. A hero or heroine will
stand alone if need be for what he
or she thinks is right. Ten years
from now you may see things as

Disturbed sleep may also be due

is sometimes caused by extreme

breathing. There may be some

SILK PRICES CUT.
Cloth Of All Kinds May Drop to
Lower Cost Levels.

Lower Cost Levels.
Chicago. May 6.-Silk, regarded by
textile dealers as the barometer Of
price movements within the indus
try. is on the positive decline.
Three million yards of bolt silks
have been thrown into retail mar
kets at an average price of 35 per
cent below the pre-war standard.
This must mean, dealers say, that
clothing and cloth prices in general
will come down.
The Morris Woolf Silk Company,
20 West Adams street, said to be the
largest silk jobbing concern in the
country, turned the goods loose at
the cut price. Mr.. Woolf explained
the reduction was made at an actual
loss to his concern, but was decided
upon as a necessary step in turning
the cost tide back to o decline move
ment.
1T takes from twice to three times
as much money to do business now
as 1t did before the war;" he said.
Merchants must liquidate, and liqui-
dating means getting whatever they
can for their stock.
''That means lower price levels
This situation will have its effects
not only on the clothing and dry
goods lines, but on food costs as well.
1T is not good business to main
tain high prices indefinitely. Eventu-
ally, If prices were to continue high,
people would cease to buy. AS long
as unreasonable prices exist operat-
ing risk is great
