Pointer for the Housewife.

The woman who reduces herself to & frazzle and her family to nervous wrecks does it by trying to do each separate piece of work to perfection. We all like perfectly appointed household, but 1t is vastly more impor- tant that a home should be comfort able, where the family likes to gather, than that no grain of dust should ever be seen. Housework, done right, is more healthful than almost any other work Making beds is m excellent ex- ercise for sluggish liver, but don't forget that tired housewife may be rested and refreshed by q brisk walk in the fresh air. Fatigue is often caused from bad air, and with the lungs filled with pure air the body Is able to throw off the poisons.
 Pick out the important things to be done daily and do them. reserving time and strength for these things. The important thing is meals. They mean more to the family than any thing else. as they are the fuel which keeps you going.-Exchange
