Household Methods
BIZ BETSY CALLIsTER.

Sorting clothes after they come UP
from the laundry is often bugbear to
the housewife. The task can be robbed
Of something Of its annoyance by q
little forethought.
If there are various members of the
family whose stockings and other I'M
derclothing have similar appearance
they should be plainly marked, either
with the name written indelibly in some
mconspicuous place or by an initial
that will make identity sure. 1t is a
good idea to have stockings lettered or
numbered so that at glance you can
tell how to sort them in pairs. The
various members Of the family can also
have certain color to use in making a
Few stitches on the hem of stocking.
In this way you can tell that all the
stockings marked in blue belong to
Jane, all the green are Alice's and those
in yellow are Betty's.
1t Is good plan to have individual
1ty in waShcloths so that if several per-
sons use the same lavatory or bathroom
there Is no chance of their waShcloths
becoming confused. It is possible to
buy washcloths with large initials in the
center. Sometimes there are individual
preferences in waShclothS. Then it is
easy to know that those of one sort
are James, while those of another sort
are Alice's and still others are Betty's.
There is also wisdom in having bath
and hand towels marked individually.
Then there is no danger of using the
wrong towel even when it is placed on
the wrong towel rack. 1t is possible to
get both hand towels and bath towels
with colored line in the border that
will answer this purpose.
Some housewives find it a good plan
to have special sheets for every bed in
the house.

Certified Checks,

One of the commonest mistakes made
by women is that of Supposing that q
certified check is the equivalent of cash.
1t was popular fallacy at one time
that once a check was certified by a
bank 1t became currency"
The chief reason for that belief lin
gering on is that women do not have
many occasions for handling certified
checks, and as a result they are not
well informed about them.
The first thing to know about a certi-
fed check is its appearance. A certi-
fed check always bears the stamp of
the bank which guarantees payment
Of the check as we'll as its validity.
In other words, the banks stamp Is
your assurance of two things-that the
payer or drawer of the check has the
amount named reserved for payment of
the check, and that the check is in
proper form.
A certified check with the amount
blank or future date, one may be sure,
is n. G, or mo good" This reminds
us that certifications may be forged.
The way to be certain. of course, Is to
have the check verified at the bank on
which it is drawn.
women when making payment on Secur-
tiles, bank loans or articles by check.
Certified checks are sometimes required
when real estate payments are due.
Checks may be certified at the paying
tellers window without charge. provid-
ing you have sufficient funds on de-
post to honor the check. It should be
remembered that once a check has been
certified, its amount is withdrawn from
ones account.

order and the work of the Little Con-
gress" is carried on by committees.
Party lines are Strict-secretaries of
Democratic Representatives and Sena-
tors vote as Democrats; secretaries of
Republican Representatives and Sena-
tors cling to G. o. P. principles.
Many and bitter are the bipartisan
fights.
There is the one, for instance, which
occurred when the Democratic floor
leaders-Maj John Sims, secretary to
Senator Brock of Tennessee, and Lee
Barnes, secretary to Representative ALL
good of Alabama-sought to have
adopted resolution deploring the fact
that Congress had failed in the pur-
pose for which President Hoover con-
vened the special session.
The speaker was Republican. The
manner in which he delayed that reso-
luton by parliamentary maneuvering
would have done credit to Nicholas
Longworth.
And it was not until he had ex-
hausted every bit of strategy that the
resolution was adopted.
Probably the most momentous fight
in the Little Congress" was when It
voted to recognize Soviet Russia. This
action projected the organization into
the lmelight for the first time in its
Patriotic organizations demanded a
retraction. But when the resolution
was brought up second time and the
vote recorded, Little Congressrnen"
stuck by their guns. They refused to
retract.
Organized for the purpose of IA
miliarizing the secretaries with parlia-
mentary procedure and to afford them
opportunity to discuss national issues,

The dress was of black silk with white

Pubs dropped the bag and cawt it again

Round Shoulders.

There are q great many slender girls
and women with round shoulders and
fiat chests. This defect Is often due
ing or walking, which, Of course, in
time causes a narrow, undeveloped
chest, round shoulders, sagging bust
and weak back muscles. The cure for
it is habitual erect carriage, deep
breathing and exercise, plus SUFFICIENT

maintaining health. An erect carriage
is very essential for keeping the figure

ercise for bringing into play all the

Effects of Illness

When JabeZ Jinks is we'll and sound,
it's good to see him hanging round,
he is so clipper and so gay, he wears
a smile throughout the day. When
well he takes an honest pride in what
his tailor can provide, his raiment is
gorgeous sight, his hats are built ex-
actly right. When well he is profoundly
stirred by all the tales he may have
heard of high improvements in the
town, of ancient landmarks coming
down. When well his kindness to his
wife has made poem of her life; he
never SnarlS or says thing that, like
a hornet, has a sting. When we'll his
patience Is sublime; he will not waste
his golden time resenting this, refuting
that, or knocking off a neighbours hat.
He smiles with an unruffled brow when
people try to start row. But sickness
comes to Jabez Jinks; the muscles in
his legs have kinks; there is a swelling
In his neck, and drugs are called for
by the peck. And it is most exceeding
strange how Jabez undergoes a change
No longer does the man aspire to dazzle
us with f1ne attire; so Slouchy do his
rags become, he might be taken for
bum. He wears the sorriest of lids,
disgracing wife and aunt and kids. He
lets his Sorrel whiskers grow, to flap
in all the winds that blow. We tell him
stories that should cheer the soul Of
every pioneer; great buildings that were
nobly planned will soon arise on every
hand. IT do not care three hoots," he
signs, the town is Stagnant and it dies"
His wife brings in his hourly pill, COM
pounded by the druggists skill: he
snarls at her and cries. "Oh, chez,
wish you wouldn't bother me-" And
thus 1t goes till he shall find he's left
his ailments all behind, and then he
dons his smile again-iust like a million
other men. WALT MASON.
