CONFUSION MAKES

without realizing II one may b<
tired by disordersd and confused sur
roundings, whether at work or not
For the same reason one may get
through 4 relatively leuy hard tash
without undue fAtigus II 1t il per.
formed under pleasant, orderly con
ditions. This 4 particularly true Of
Ironing, which d one Of the longest
tasks in the weeks routine. One
woman may attempt to iron In an at.
mosphere Of confusion. with unwashed
dishes nearby. coats or other out-of-
doors clothing thrown over chair,
food standing about and children's
playthings under her feet: time is
lost making room among collections
pf untidy articles on the table or tubs.
Another woman waits to put her
kitchen in order before starting to
iron. She sits on a high stool for
most Of the work. She IL also particu.
lar to have her ironing board steady
and placed at the right height, in
stead of across two chairs as one so
often sees; she has a hamper for
the pile Of dampened clothes and a
clothes horse on which to 'air the
freshly ironed garments. It is safe
to predict. says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. that the sec
ond woman will be less tired than the
6rst one when she has finished the
same amount of ironing.
Other little ways of making ironing
easier are having the board well pad
ded and smoothly covered, never
standing with ones back to the light ;
using clean smooth irons, occasionally
rubbed with wax or paraffin; wearing
comfortable shoes with moderate heels
in good condition. Rubber heels are
liked by many people.
An Ideal ironing board Ia one which
is hinged permanently to the wall at
the best height for the worker so that
it can be folded back into a small
fat closet out Of the way when not
In use. This type Of ironing board
has an extendable leg to rest on when
pulled down. 1t should be set as near
as possible to the stove where the
irons are heating or to the plug or
outlet where the electric iron is at
tached. For best results and great
est comfort in work Light from win
dow should fall across the ironing
board. Put the clothes horse and
hamper within easy reach

So Was This Glenwood Springs Woman
Who Tells Her Experience

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.

had a curious experience. The boat
was on its way to Juneau and
Judge Beane was sitting. on the deck

that he had played on the Critchons

Interesting Remembrance
He also met man on the boat
who came from Omaha. Judge
Beane told this man that he looked
very familiar and that he thought he
had seen him somewhere before.
They compared notes and found that
he had never been east of Chicago
and Judge Beane had never, been
west Of that, city. After some dis

both been delegates to meeting of

Pythias which was held in Chicago
some time before that and they had
sat across the aisle from each other.
Another curious fact that he told
of was about several boys, all cous-

left that town. with one exception
about the same time. There was
Hunton who remained at Readfield.
Fillibrowa who went to Monmouth.
Morrill, who went to North Berwick

At the annual school meeting which
was held Monday night in the council
chamber at City hall il was. voted to
appropriate the sum OF S1Se. S12.16,
which with the estimated resources for
the year 1924 will make UP the amount
required for the year by the schools of
this city. according to budget prepar-
ed by the school board.
The budget calls for s17S,144..?.
which is in excess of that of two years
ago by s12.04445. The budget Of last
year would not be fair comparison,
as last year was a short year due to
the change In the date of the fiscal
year. This excess is partially due to
two items: first that the budget of
1922 was s4617.11 under the expenses
found necessary to add three new
teachers. one at the high school and
two in the grades. which at the aver
age wage paid the teachers of the
schools in this city amounts to 5000.
There is then. considering these two
items. hut difference OF s6S67.s4 be-
tween the budget of this year and Of
two years ago.
Upon a motion by Levi Williams,
amended by Mayor Mclean. the vote
was carried upon this recommendation
which was so worded that the commit
tee of citizens which should be ap-
pointed should be authorized to look
