DAILY ECONOMY CALENDAR

YOUR TIME TABLE.

You simply cannot keep house with
any sort of satisfaction to yourself or TO
those Of the household unless you work
with the clock. You must have time
table, and time table must be altered
from time to time to suit the changing
needs Of your family Winters time table
is usually different from that Of summer
because where there are children allow
ance must be made for school time. It IL
an important duty Of the mother to see
that children have breakfast and are sent
off in time for school, and it is also An
important duty TO see that the children Is
midday meal is ready for them when they
return from school.
II is surprising to the mcthodical house.

hold where there in no such thing as clock
work. Meals vary from day to day. They
are begun when appetite dictates. No
definite plans are made and often after
the meal is underway someone has to go
to the store in search OF some OF the
essentials of the meal.
Some housewives who are unmethodical
seem TO hold the belief that il they work
with the clock, if they have certain days
of the week for certain tasks and certain
hours of the day for the various day
occupation, they will make themselves
a slave TO time. As matter of fact it is
the person who has no time system who
is times slave. Because the element Of
time is always forcing itself into con-
sideration you are kept waiting for meals,
you have TO make undue haste, you are
late or too early and are thus reminded Of
time. Whereas, if you grow accustomed
TO performing certain tasks at certain
times thiuua c,vipy in hayyunpy with tho
hours and there is little thought Of time.

DOROTHY DIX TALKS
wsars

none is so foolish and so fruitlcss as hold
| ing post mortcms on the past. Yesterday
| is yesterday, and no power on earth can
| bring it back. What has happened has
happened and all the talk in the world
won't change it. When tho cards are
deaf, we've got our hands, and if we've
played them badly and lost, it is waste
of breath to speculate about what the
result would have been if we had done
| differently.
The only thing that we can get out OF
the past is experience. III we have the wit
to profit by the lessons we have been
taught, we can avoid repeating the mis-
takes we have made The battles we have
fought in the past, the struggles we have
gone through, can strengthen our muscles
for the warfare of the future, but that is
absolutely all that the past can do for us.
The rest belongs to tomorrow and is on the
knees of the gods.
But if we dwell on the past, 1T can weaken
us, it can rob us of all initiative. 1t can
sap our courage and turn lis into timorous
towards. And it can blot all Of our happi-
ness out of life.
Suppose a man and woman have made
a mistake in choosing their calling, and
that they really are better fitted for some
other work than the kind they are dong.
They gain nothing by wasting their hives
IN futile lamentations over what they
might have been. Let them either shut
the door of the closet in which hangs the
skeleton Of their ambitions, and make
something of the task they have under
taken, or else have the nerve to cut away
from their present occupation, and do the
thing they want to do, and which they
believe they have q genius for doing.
In these days of oportunity, no one
need be n mute, glorious Milton, or a
Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood,
unless her or she really hasn't writing
acquaintance with the muses., or lacks
the grit to fight, after all.
Nor is there any merit IN chershIng a
grief, although there are some people
morbid enough to think that it makes them
interesting to be known as one who has
never got over the loss of parent, husband,
or child" The brave action is that of the
man or woman who buries his or her
sorrow out of sight, and turns n smiling
face upon a world that is larcady too
sorrow laden.
Even IL one has committed some great
sin, the wise thing is to bury il deep down
In the bottom of one S soul and roll over 1t
the stone of repentance, and forget 1t.
| would especially recommend this course
to women who have pasts. If they have
turned from the wrong path into the right
road, ] urge them to quit thinking about
their dark days and especially TO quit
talking about them. Confession is weak
ness. Be strong enough TO bear your own
burdens in silence. The way TO build up IS
by atonement, not by weeping over what
is past and gone.
Don t indulge In post mortems Of any
kind. Old, stories, old regrets, old mis-
takes, old tears are useless. And they
are 50 messy and boring to the innocent
by-standers.

LETTERS OF TESSrE AND JOE
Dear Joe:

Dear Joe.
Here's newsl rm going to take up
horseback riding with Mrs. Fink. That
amt as expensive IA it sounds on the sur
face, Joe, because Mrs. Fink knows the
president of riding academy, and he's
going to give us course of instruction
at half rates. OF course even the half
rates are steep enough, and it's only be-
cause | know they're half rates that |
realize how low they really are. Nothing
really seems expensive as long ms you
know you're getting it cheaper than some
body else, don't YOU feel that way, ,Joe7
They say horseback riding is very reduc-
ing, but don Il know. I've had one lesson
and it hasn't affected the scales any.
xWell, Joe, of course I'm no female Buffalo
Bill after one lesson, but flatter myself
that can keep from falling off horse at
angles that would formerly OF thought in

had any choice in the matter I'm in
clined to think it was partly the fault Of
the horse they put me on. lie seemed to
have little or no give to him.
The first thing TO learn about riding
Joe, is 20 approach ahorse from the left side
when YOU mount him. Or is it the right?
Anyways, il was the first / knew horses
had left and right sides. always merely
used to think of their sides as this side and
the other side, sort Of interchangeable,
depending on which side was nearest to
you. But when you come 10 reason it
out of course a horse must have left
and right side the same as anybody else,
though why it is any more pleasure TO
them to have you get up on one side than
the other is one of those things YOU got
to take for granted.
Mrs Fink and are going TO take les
son every other day and we feel IL Will
do us lot of good if we survive all right
Several times / had to grab my horse

left the baby with the Ricketts, next
door while | was at the riding academy.
Mrs. Ricketts, didn't seem overjoyed, but
she's always borrowing things from me

something for once that she was only too
glad TO return.

BE A HOG QUEEN.

| BE a HUI QUEEN.
There's lot Of money IN being hoa
queenl"
So spake fair young woman, who
with friend, started hog ranch some
years ago in the San Fernando Valley ol
California. She had lot Of pictures with
her that made being a hog queen seem ne
lovely as it has proved lucky Tho very
hogs were beautiful, huge square chunks
Of pork-to-be, and the quarters whore,
they lived, ono could not call them sties
were rs attractive as bungalow IN q
garden.
But being hog queen il hard work,
M we'll ~ profitable business. The two
girls who have done so well at the work
began with small outlay and q fow
p,ire-bred berkshires. They now have
many hundreds Of the animals and sell
an amazing number Of pounds Of pork
on tho boof evcry year. They also breed
fine animals for fancy prices, and sell
quantities of shonts each season at an
excellent profit.
Many young women nowadays are
turning to the land for field of cndcavor.
Some Of the work, much Of it,, is too heavy
for women, and too lonely. But we'll
run hog farm is not beyond a wonan's
powers, il she had made, as shc should, n
careful study of tho profession Of hog
raising.
"Hogs arc the cleancst animals, IL you
will only give them half chance" said
my visitor. "Thoy are subject 20 certain
diseases, of course, but these are fairly
we'll guarded against, and proper feeding,
exercise and draingage will keep your pigs
healthy. Feed is at present very high. We
grow most of our feed now, and we turn
our hogs out to pasture ms regularly as
though they were cows"
She told me that she had ta.ken UP hog
raising by chance She had trained for a
librarian, and had been promised posi-
ton While waiting for it she and her
friend went TO visit family who kept
Some hogs. Tho wife wanted 10 move, and
of1crcd the girls the place at very reason
able terms.
''On the spur Of the mouont we said
yes. We were frightened later on, but we
stuck to our bargain The first three years
il was rather hard scratching and We al
most used up our little nest-ogg Then we
began TO make expenses, and then we did
better Now We are real hog queens, and
we find that we are taking in more money
every year than We should ever have done
as Librarians, even If we'd lived TO be a
thousand and had our salaries raised every
year. Maybe 10 took some courage TO
make the start, but it was worth tit
pays in moro ways than one.
Hogs can be raised in many other places
than the San Fernando Valley Conditions
vary, and with them the work necessary
To make success. But there is no doubt
that hog raising is profitable business,
and business that is open 10 women.
