The American housewife still has

there is no very direct or easy way to gam
this information For various sorts OF
furnaces act differently. The proper way
to stoke one furnace does not suit another:
Yet when you consider the fact that coal
il already spoken OF rs being scarce, and
when often as much as 20 OF 30 per cent
of coal can be saved If the furnace hire Is
properly managed, then you see how
necessary il is TO become expert IN this
matter of stoklng.
If YOU are in new house lind out the
make and number of your furnace and
then either write 30 the manufacturers or
go to their local agent and ask for tho in-
formation you desire. Possibly the agent
will find il convenient to come to your
house and actually show you the neces-
sary points in the operation of your
furnace fire.
If you can't get this assistance, then
go to somebody who knows much OF the
running of fires and learn from him You
can surely find some such person, who
understands all about draughts and fire
pots aud how to put the coal and how
much % put on. And IT viii be well worth

MEET MISS INSURANCE AGENT.

Women are gong INTO insurance work
very largely, and are meeting lot Of
sllccess. AZ clever, wcll-mannered, attrae-
tive girl oF ysornan is snapped at by the
companieS.,Sbk ought to be a good mathe-
inatician. and lsome training in psychology
viii be help As for the actual work,
there is no way 10 learn it except BY
doing IT; The start Is made by getting an
s.gency from some company, the best
tnat can be reached, and then going to
work. The payment is usually by COM
mission, and naturally it will take time
10 work up to fair income. But il is
all practice.
The point to aim at IS a brokerage For
this a license must be issued TO you from
your stSte, and after that you can act rs
agent for any number of companies. Wo-
men are finding IT profitable to start their
own offices IN country towns and neigh
Dor hoods, holding agencies for variety
of companies. A couple Of years Us agent
for some company should be training
enough for the right type Of woman TO
attain to brokers' rank. If she has not
got on well during that time, she had
better try some other line, for as an in
suranee agent she is a failure. Ii is a gift
We are told, the power to catch your fish
IN the troubled waters of the insurance
world. II you have il, you can count on a
good income and life of interesting con-
tracts. But don't be too easily discouraged
if you seem to succeed rather slowly the
first few months. There is what is known
as a policy average" and you will have
to find your average. 1t may be one of
ten approached or it may be one of twen-
ty. Each agent seems to hit certain
psxe.
but it is fact that women do exceed
ngly well in the different forms Of insur-
anoe, and that it Is a field many are turn
ne 20 cultivate. Don't be afraid To start
u 1t ii you are looking for work that viii
b-ins you into touch with people, not to
say keep YOU out In the open air at any
rate, not tied down 10 an office char.

LETTERS OF TESSIE AND JOE

Dear Tessie:
I'm having q pretty bum week, as
everybody in this territory I'm gong
through has tried Daisy Canned Soups
10 their sorrow However, | have ways Of
keeping my spirits up. One way Is by
reading about the salaries the different
movie stars get Another way Is by fol-
lowing UP the political speeches with the
candidates showing up each others char
acter every day and thinking how much
better must be than either OF those famous
men. Nobody ever made such remarks
about me in public, which all goes to show
that the oyster Is one OF the wisest OF
birds. because the less you let people
know YOU the less they will be willing TO
take time to listen while somebody pans
you.
I don't know how III vote this election
not that it's probably worrying the
candidates any. They're so busy denying
each others insults that by some Of their
speeches YOU might think they We're try
ing TO talk themselves out of jail instead of
into the White House People who stand
In front of white houses oughtn't TO throw
mud, that's my motto. But all Jokes
aside. Id rather be voter than presi-
dent. because whereas my responsibility
ends on election day, the presidents s
Just begins. The consequences are all
his, YOU might say.
Of course it's a great honor and grand
surprise to be elected president Of your
country, and if the baby grows up and
shows a talent for being president I'd
be the last one to begrudge to him, but
still and at the same time how do you
suppose I'd feel if ] allowed myself to be
made president and then found out it
was really true that the war wasn't over?
Why, I'd feel ike q man that married
for home and then discovered his wife
was widow with six assorted children.
Nothing doing, Tessie, you'll have to
excuse me.
Well, so long, old better half
