did not permit their children to wear
low shoes ever. But now the theory
and practice seems to be reversed
ana there are specialists who assure
mothers and nurses that the best way
to strengthen little ankles and in
steps is to take care that the shoes
in which they are encased are not
so stin as to restrict the free play of
muscles and tendons.

Health and Thrift i'm the Home
SAVE YOUR STEPS.

Would it be an exaggeration to say
that the average housewife who lives
in a house on two or more floors goes
up and down thse stairs twice as
often as she really need to in doing
her homework? Or that the house,
wife who lives in a one-fioor apart
ment or bungalow goes back and
forth from room to room about double
the number Of times that the work she
accomplishes actually requires Of her?
1t is simply because they fail to put into
practice the old-time injunction: Let
your head save your heels"
If you want to test the truth Of this
statement just count the number of
times that you go up and down stairs
some day, and, to make a thorough ex-
pertinent, put it down on a piece of
paper and jot down beside each entry
the reason for the trip up or down.
Then see how many of them were en-
, stances one trip might have been made
to serve the need of two or more as
you actually made them.
You go downstairs in the morning and
you find that you have no apron. so you
run upstairs and get your apron. and
because it is the top Of the morning
you don't mind the steps. At different
times you make q special trip up to ge;
| q cake Of soap and at another time to
take up n new order of soap that has
| come from the grocer's. You are called
down a half dozen times in the course
Of your upstairs work to answer doors
and telephones and you are called up
stairs by a crying baby. the dressmaker
or some one equally insstent as many
other times.
One way to save some of these steps
Is to have a large basket-sucn as, we
call a market basket-in some conven-
lent place downstairs and another up
stairs. Whenever you come to some
thing that has to go upstairs put 1t IN
the downstairs basket and when you
come to something that has to 60 down.
stairs put it in the upstairs basket.
Then when you have occasion to make
the trip UP or down stairs hurriedly you
can simply take the basket with you
and possibly two and surely one trip is
saved.
A great deal Of time is saved. if you
have an upstairs cleaning closet equip
ped with a special set Of brooms.
brushes. busters. mops and the other
needfuls Of cleaning. Make point
never to take these upstairs utensils
downstairs, and then when you have
cleaning to do upstairs you can do 1t
without an extra trip.
Perhaps at some time in your career
as q housewife you have been recovering
from an illness and you nave been ac-
vised by your doctor not to go upstairs
sary. Perhaps he has limited the num-
Der of times. say, to six In that case
you have had to let your mead save your
heels and then you have learned how
prodigal other housewives are OF their
strength in this matter.

LOVE AND HUNGER.

Had little love feast down to Po- nick on the Crick. Never saw the time when compH- ments were spread so thick, Everybody said that everybody was Prince. Haven't seen affection such as that before nor since. But there wasn't any vftt1es and there wasn't any drink Worth mentionin'. The menu was en- tire1y on the blink. When some one said: "P1ease pass the pie," we realized, alas, That owin' to conditions, there were not no pie to pass! With gentle dispositions we assem-
 bled to discuss Just what was good for everyone an especially for us. But in the preparations for festivities 80 neat We overlooked small detail like
 havin' things to eat. And as the hunger came along, some sharp remarks were passed. The first occasion of it's kind was
 goin' to he last. The agitators gathered till somebody
 threw a brick. Now we're eatin' like plain home folks down to Pohick on the Crick

SURROUNDINGS ON FARM SHOULD BE

While there are a few farms oper- ated as business proposition on the business principle of earning none tary dividends, the great mass of the farmers of America not only con- sider the farm as a place of business, but also as home. The standard of what constitutes a home varies
 Harmonious family relations and pleasant surroundings are two fac tors that make a happy home. True enough, a happy home may not be known on many farms where condt- tions seem admirable from outside appearances: sometimes a happy home may be found in the humb1est and most meager surroundings, as far family relations are concerned Considering outside appearances the average farm can be made into a happy home by beautifying the grounds around the buildings with a lawn and planting trees and shrubs and flowers.

ADEQUATE PAY
 NECESSARY FOR
 GOOD TEACHING

The first item in the new pro- Eramme, designed to make teaching la real profession and to induce ca ipable men and women of the highest Iinte1ligeRce to select teaching as their life work, is remuneration for teach ing comparable to that of other standard professions and involving a schedule of salaries ranging from a comparatively small amount for the apprentice up to a liberal income for the professional teacher.
 The second is the disqualifying of all who are without training for their vocation, and of those who have failed because of inadequate native ability, moral slackness, or other in ldex of incompetency.
 And the third step Is @ comprehen- sive national plan for teacher train ing. and the certification of teachers similar in scope to that now obtain ing in France.
 When the United States adopts such a programme and sees its 650,- 900 schools under the control of pro- feasionally trained teachers, it may with confidence look to the schools to teach stability, moderation, pro- perty rights, moral rectitude, and g programme of 'Americanism based on try. a
 ThenDthe country may confidently expect to find in the schools an i'm pregnable defense against imported radica1ism which flouts the painful lessons in civilization that the world has struggled through in ages past
 Then the nation may reasonably look to tho schools for light and reading-Yale Review.
