The Beautiful Business Of Housekeeping
Nowadays Is. Profession For a Princess

Of course Love puts halo around anything and
even the most sordid tasks become sacred if they're
performed gladly for the sake of those dear to you.
But women don't scrub floors nowadays and call it
"nobe" They realize that with all the myriad fasci-
mating interests be found in Iife it would be unfair
and foolish to narrow themselves down to the most
menaI, really sIavish and wholly unnspirng occupa-
tions-unfair to their families and surely unfair to
themselves.

It was Glenn Frank, who writes ad-
mirabIe editorials in "The Century, who
said in one of his books that there has
never been an industrial mix-up which
twenty business men could not have settled
satisfactorily if they had set their minds
to it.
Which is true of all mix-ups. Even
political.
If a dozen men like Judge Gary, Henry
Dougherty, Charles Schwab, John H. Pat
terson, Marshall Field, P. D. Armour, and
Herbert Hoover had been asked to settle
the differences which eventuated in the
World war they could have accomplished
it between luncheon and dinner.
They could settle the League of Ma
lions row over night. They could arrange
the question of Japanese immigration some
Saturday afternoon. They could even
smooth out the Irish question, although
that would probably take longer.
The point, here stated with somewhat of
exaggeration, is that this kind of men has
the kind of mind to do things.
They are the real ruling class By
which I do not mean a class to lord it
over others, live in palaces and hold scep-
tiers, but the class that knows how to ar
range conditions SO that people can get
along
are constantly handling complicated issues,
with all sorts and conditions of men, and
making money for everybody. Of course
they make money for themselves, but they
make it by enabling myriads of other men
to have work and wages that mean pros
perity and culture.
They are the real gubernatorial, SEN
atorial and presidential timber.
They ought to be running the country.
Why don't we eelct them to office, in
stead Of the hand-shakers, spell-binders and
platitude peddlers whom we choose by our
party machines.
It is because we still conceive of the
state a political thing
Some day we are Cling to realize that
the state is an Industrial thing
Then we will go out and hire a man like
Hartman or Morgan pay him what he de-
serves, and have our industrial common
wealth run on business principles.
Instead of Safeguarding and hating such
men, and giving vent to our vulgar envy
because they succeed and we fail, we are
going to cOnscript them.
And If man does what Rockefeller did
we shall say, "You are entirely too smart to
be competing with u.s. Here take this gov
eminent and run it, and let us all in on
the profits.''
The government is a business proposition
When Will we cease voting for second raters
and flling our printed pages with attacks
upon the only men who could govern us
successfully?

TT is highly significant that whereas be-
fore the World War vessels flying the
~ Stars and Stripes were rarely glimpsed
from Constantinople, today as correspon-
dent in that city reports, American liners
are in the Golden Horn at all times 1t ap-
pears, moreover, that at least twelve lmpor-

permanent branch Offices in the great Near
Eastern metropolis, while many others are
represented by local agents Further, "Mer-
chants there are ready to put In lines or
American goods, rail and water transporta-
ton has improved, and financial facilities
for handling American business have become
available"
These are highly cheering evidences in
that they show a vigorously launched and
we'll sustained movement to develop our OPP
portunities in the markets of the world
Hitherto American merchants and manu-
facturers have been rather Indifferent to
overseas business, plentifully supplied as they
were with rich fields at home. But now it
grows continually palmer that our prosper
fly in the years ahead will be measured
largely by the expansion of our foreign trade
and the Improvement of facilities for ham
ding it.
How important this is to Southern inter-
ests appears in the DrOmptness with which
cotton prices react to overseas demands.
Suppose that we now could provide credit
accommod ations for the European countries
that need several million bales of cotton for
Immediate consumption; what an energizing,
uplifting effect on the market, it would have!
if new fields are opened for the
sale of American cotton goods, whether in
China or Peru, the increased demand will
benefit the growers as we'll as the manufac-
turers will make for more jobs and bigger
payrolls, will encourage investment and en-
terprise, will quicken all the currents of
business from the largest to the least.
1t is Of utmost Importance, therefore, that
the South, in common with progressive
tN0n"Nt the country over. support all we'll
advised efforts for the promotion of our
foreign trade. Especially commendable are
the movements looking to the development
and service of Southern ports and to the
organization of facilities for financing a
larger volume of export business To these
and kindred undertakings, Georgia and her
neighbor States should give full-sinewed,
full-hearted encourag cement.

TONED in that capacity his two brothers,
Prince Paul and Prince George But would
either of them consent to a reputation of
the royal rights of their father, the former

Constantine. it will be remembered, was
virtually driven from the throne by a re-
volt of Hellenic sentiment against his pro-
Germanism. Closely related, by marriage,
trys DEEPEST impulses and baked her most
enlightened craftsmanship at the time when
her support critically needed by the AL
lies. The shortsghtedness of his policy has
become more and more apparent through
the retrospect of years, while that of Veni
zelos, stanch friend OF the Allies and now
Premier, has been indicated. 1t is unlikely.
then, that any course which might raise even
the remotest possibility of Constantine's re-
turn to the throne would be countenanced
by the party now in power at Athens.
If the former Kings surviving sons are
ruled out by refusal to renounce their IA
theirs claims. the throne may be offered to
Constantine's brother, Prince Andrew or to
some foreign royal famiy-Perhaps to
Prince Charles of Belgium to Prince Ar

chance of republics being proclaimed, but

HINTS AS TO BATHING
By H. AddingtOn Bruce

" ATHING helps the bather nSSo many ways
Is that it is difficult even to enumerate salts
factorily its phySiologic and hygenic BEN
e1itS. Foremost is the aid it renders in keep
ing the pores of the skin open and in freeing
them from possibly infectious or poisonous sub
stances.
The skin, though most people do not seem
to appreciate this, is an elimnative organ of
great importance Through millions of little
ducts it is constantly diScharging waste mat
ter If checked in so doing the health is
pretty sure to suffer in some degree.
Covering the skin with pant-as some fool
ish women cover the skin of their faces
is one means of checking normal elimination.
Another is by permitting dust, dirt and waste
body products to accumulate on the skin
through failure to battle regularly.
Such failure may also cause harm by per-
hitting injurious substances to gain entry into
the body through absorption from the skin.
Consequently Gilman Thompson, in his treatise
on hygiene for industrial workers, specially
notes:
"A full hot bath should be taken at least
twice week, soaping and scrubbing the body
we'll. If the occupation has involved exposure
to irritant duStS vaporS, or fumes, the body
should be Sponged with warm water and we'll
rubbed every night before retiring"
Warm baths further have for many people a
quoting effect, hence have been found distinct

excitement. Cold sponge baths or shower
baths on the opposite, have a tonic
quality Which is one reason they are partic-
uarly we'll adapted for morning bathing. But,
with Doty, the warning may we'll be given:
"The very young, the very old, and invalids
are not proper subjects for cold baths at any
time The shock which follows the sudden
reduction of temperature of the surface of the
body is not usually succeeded by prompt and
healthfu reaction in these cases"
For various reasons the most generally sat-
sfying form of bath is the warm shower for
three to five minutes, followed by cool or
cold shower for fraction of minute, and
this followed by vigorous towelling In
summer such bath may be taken daily, IN
winter every other day.
Shower attachments for ordinary bathtubS
may be procured at little expense. Their use,
of course, should not be understood to do away
with the necessity for full hot tubing" at
intervals of not more than three or four days.
Only be careful to rinse off we'll after every
soap-and-water scrubbing, leaving no soap on
the body Don't stay in the warm or hot bath
too long-not more than ten minutes. Ana
never take a bath within two or three hours
after meal

meets our individual need of COM
fort.
have been in palaces built by
great architects and furnished by
famous interior decorators, that
were no more homes than hotels or
furniture stores are. And l have been
in tWo-room cottages where we sat
in the kitchen, and shifted the de-
lectable odors of the stew that was
dinner, and where a woman sang at
her work, and that place was the
very embodiment of home.
The ideal home must have in it
three people, the man, the woman
and the child. No one human being
can make home alone and I'M
aided.
No man can make real home by
himself, though he fill it with period
furniture, and the artistic loot of
the world, and have perfect servants
to wait upon you, and give you the
feasts of LuculluS to eat.
Nor can any woman make a home
by herself, though she hangs a tidy
on every chair, and has a chimney
that smokes, and a parrot that
swears, and a cat that stays out
late at night.
Rooms are bare and 1ifeless and
dead that lack the human touch
that house gets that is really
lived in, where the drama Of life,
birth and death, and laughing and
weeping, does not go on continually.
That is what makes old houses and
old furniture so interesting. They
have seen so much.
No bachelors home coming of an
evening can have the zest that comes
to the man who knows that there
will be child's face pressed against
the window pane watching for him,
him across the threshold. A woman
must have the definite object of
making her husband and child COM
Portable to inspire her to the work
of making a real home. Women who
live alone almost invariably degen-
crate into tea and toast dietary.
Spiritually, the ideal home is an
altar on which a man and woman
offer up the very best that is in
them to their lares and penates.
They give to it love. The very at
mosphere of the ideal home is
charged with tenderness. 1t is a

in the knowledge that though oil the
world turned against him, here he
would find an. unquestioning. faith
that would believe in him until the
end. 1t is place in which a woman
knows that she will find shelter in
the arms of her husband, and that
he will protect her against every
harsh wind that blows.
There is peace in the ideal home.
There is no arguing, nor quarrel

The ideal home is full of. unself-

pure-bred livestock could not fail to stir the
admiration Of the thousands who beheld
them, whether native farmers, or home-seek-
ers and prospective investors from distant
States.
