would suggest to you that, especially
when you are fatisued, you take the
following exercise:
Clasp the hands behind the
head, then bend the elbows as
close together as possible in front
of the face and then lift the head
and draw the elbows as widely
apart as possible as the head is
bent backward.
The evening world., 1922-03-14

Another exercise is to drop the head
forward, then to eacn side and back
ward as far as possible and then let 1t
slowly revolve. This is wonderful for
relaxing the nerves and muscles that
have become tired by the nature of
your work. But you must sit correctly,
because it is impossible for you not to
send over the wire an impatient
answer or to get your numbers sadly
mixed if the body is held in such a
slouchy position that you feel tagged

problems Is for the young mother

Another thing. the young house
keeper often mistakenly tries TO keep
up appearances. She wants fern
dish on the table and embroidered
towels on rack and fancy pillows
everywhere. In other words. even
though she must do her own work,
she tries to keep house from the ap-
pearanco standard OF having several
maids. Nothing could be more fool
ish. Dozens of women who complain
that housework prevents them from
"hovng any time TO themselves"
have only themselves 20 blame, be-
cause they insist on artificial and
elaborate ways of doing things. To the
young mother Of the baby the health
Of the baby and the health OF the
mother should be more important than
anything else. The housework should
he considered secondary if the mother
Is to be able 20 do justice to herself
and the outside interests which her
husband and every community de-
mand of her.
The evening world., 1922-03-14

The FIRST step is to train the baby
to regular habits of feeding and
sleeping. That this can be done has
been proved by hundreds OF mothers
who almost set their clocks by the
hour at which the baby wakes. After
Learning at what hours the baby
should be fed, these intervals should
be held to, strictly.
Now there are two kinds of house
work that which must receive close
attention, like cooking. and that
which is purely mechanical. Ike
dishwashing or sweeping. The best
plan is to do the difficult work Of
cooking or that which requires at
tention while the baby is asleep and
there is quiet, and to leave the disa
washing or similar work for the time
when he will surely be awake. We
cannot he interrupted while making
a good cake, but we can leave tht
dishes soaking for twenty minutes
without harm.

If IL Is possible. some part Of the

the one who sleeps in q stuffy room.

Dougherty County
Has Low Tax Rate

ALBANY, Ga, Aug. 22.-That
Dougherty county has one of the
lowest tax rates in the state and
the lowest in south Georgia, with
the exception of Charlton county,
in the Okefenokee swamp, is the as
sertion of Chairman A. j. Lippitt, Of
the board of county commissioners.
Mr.. Lippitt has gathered figures on
this subject. Dougherty county's
rate for last year was IL mills for
the county and 1 mill for school pur-
poses outside the city limits, max
ing a total of 10 mills outside the
city limits. In many Of the counties
the rate is above 20 mills for county
and school purposes. The rate for
state purposes is the same, of course,
in all counties, namely, 5 mills.
Dougherty's total rate for state,
county and school purposes, is 1S
mills, and Mr.. Lippitt says it may
be possible to reduce it 1 mill this
year.
Dougherty county also ranks sixth
in wealth per capita, according to
Hon. Martin V. Calvin, who gives
the first six as follows: Clark county,
S779 per capita; Muscogee county,
SITS; Fulton, $727; Richmond, $679;
Bibb, 1881; Dougherty, 5000.
Dougherty county is also one of

house today received back the tariff
bill after its stormy sojourn Of more
than thirteen months in the senate,
and sent the measure to conference
after a brief but warm debate be-
tween Republicans and Democrats
as to whether the new tariff will

House members voted to send the
shout by Chairman Fordney, Michi.
gan, of the house ways and means
committee. that he would "stand pat
for final enactment Of the bill, just
as 1t passed the house over year
ago."
