~ this country There may be town here and
there which has enough money to get along comfort
ably but no growing community ever has enough and
ofmes the rate Of growth can be gagged by the trouble
which the financial officers have in keeping up with
the procession and yet making ends meet.
But all well governed cities realize that there are
some things that deserve preferential treatment Public
health measures fall into that classification. The best
way TO take care of the public health is to build for
the future in such way that the town is never IN

As to Bedding.

A large box covered with cretonne
rep or denim or chest standing al
he foot of the bed to hold extra bed
ding is a convenience. Even wher
there is a big cupboard on the bed
room floor for this purpose the indi-
vidual chest gives the housewife a
feeling of security in the sense that
each guest and member of the family
is provided with a suitable covering
for all emergencies; and it surely
makes the sleeper rest more easily
to know that warmer clothes can be
had by reaching for them. An under
the-bed chest accommodates bedding
neatly in a room where space must
be economical.
Thin pique bedspreads. which can
be bought for less than a dollar for
single beds, and which are really as
easily laundered as a sheet, are eco
nomical, dainty and sensible cover
ings for the bed. Two should be pro-
vided for each bed. They wear for
years with ordinarily careful treat
ment in the laundry and really form
GOOD ll-the-year-round covers for
beds where health and cleanliness are
the first objects.
Thin pique by the yard can be made
into serviceable and durable bed
spreads at little expense. 1t can be
pieced together down the center with
a band of heavy embroidery insertion
or with an applied stitched band of
white linen. The edges can be hem
med or finished with an applied band
ing of figured or plain material. This
same material may be used instead of
the insertion to cover the center
pique, which seIls for 70 or so cents a
yard, would wear for years, il carefully
made.

starting to business and take it out
at night when they return home.
How much more simple that would
make things for them!
And the best part Of 1t is that

make them themselves! I have had

will be glad to send these directions
to any one who writes to me, inclos-

The following, dinners are of the
variety which the business girl can
put into her fireless cooker in the
morning before going to work and
take out at 6 o'clock and put on the
table without any fuss and bother:
Irish Stew
Gelatin Mold
Coffee

put this on the range with water to
cover, and heat until the water boils;
then with lid on tightly put the
pail into the fireless cooker. 1t will
continue boiling the better part of
the day. and if slightly cooled off
by night 1t can be easily warmed up
again for dinner: at least it is cook
ed through, and that is the main
