Household Methods
BY BETSY CALLIsTER.
Things Picked Up.

One of the secrets of keeping house
easily and with the appearance OF ease
is keeping things cleaned up. That Is,
don't let the house get all out OF order
at the same time Keep it in order, as
much as possible, as you go along.
Sometimes, of course, time may be
saved by letting things go for few days
and then having a grand and glorious
housekeeping. But for the most part
it is easier If you pick up" the whole
house each day. A few minutes each
morning spent picking up discarded
newspapers of the preceding day, put
ting fresh water on flowers, emptying
waste-paper baskets and picking up
scraps of all sorts will prevent lot OF
confusion. If this sort of work is neg
lected for two or three days 1t piles up
discouragingly. And it is the same
thing with the daily busting OF furni-
ture and dust hopping OF floors ana
carpet sweeping of rugs. And with
cleaning the bathrooms, at least super
flciously. And with brushing the
porches and steps.
The small amount of care every day
keeps the house always in order and so
prevents q great deal of confusion and
disorder that come when the little
things from day to day are neglected.
The same method is good one TO
pursue with regard to the refrigerator.
too. If you go over it every day and
discard any food that is not going to
keep, use up all odds and ends that
YOU can, and make sure that nothing
has spoiled, your task of weekly or
twice-a week refrigerator cleaning will
be an easy one, and your loss on spoiled
food will be practically nothing.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE ". sPRowLs.
Imitation.


In order to understand imitation in
its psychological sense you must I1rst
consider it in It's biological sense. Ma
ture has decreed that every creature
shall resemble the type. The laws Of
imitation are in the first place the laws
of reproduction of kind.
The only exceptions to these laws are
those sudden changes, sometimes called
Sports" sometimes "geniuses." In
either case nature is merely expert
menting-trying to find a new high
level of progress.
When it comes to human affairs the
social aspects of the law OF imitation
reach a higher point Of race preserva-
ton and self preservation Life, COM
pick and varied as it is, still obeys the
fundamental law of like creating like.
Main street reaches from pole to pole
and circumnavigates the globe. On the
basis Of imitation you can explain legal
mandates and procedures, the adoption
of inventions-everything.
A social institution is but the length
ened shadow OF some genius, who in his
own day carved out the model for a
higher order of social adjustment. Imi-
tation did the rest.
Oripinaltty is a rare thing. BY imper-
ceptible degrees new things are incor-
porated with the old. Our ancestry Is
far more important than some Of us
are willing to concede.
Free will is a myth. Coercion on the
part of the group and sanction on the
cart of the individual cover that propo-
sition. Imitation, and imitation alone
takes first rank among the human

that honors were pretty well divided be-

Question of Rent.

The question of how much rent you
should pay may be raising its querulous
head again. This is the time of the
year that one decides to move or not
to move, and either decision will
naturally involve, "How much rent?"
Once upon a time, if you are old
enough to remember it, women were
told that they should never budget
more than 20 to 25 per cent of the
family's income for rent. That seemed
simple.
One would then divide the family IN
come by four, and with the result in
hand or mind, sally forth to find a
rental figure that correspondent with
the result of ones division.
The catch came, however, when some
women found that in some towns or
some sections of some towns, rentals
were either uniformly higher or lower
than the Tule-of-thuYnb figure. Then
they were perplexed with the question,
Should we spend more or less than
the specified sunni"
We believe women must adapt them
selves to conditions. OF course, some
limit must be set, else we would be
spending all Of our incomes on rent,
and practically nothing on clothes and
board
There Is always q way to economic,
however. 1t may be in choosing a
modest neighborhood, a smaller abode,
or a less desirable house or apartment
than one planned on
In the smaller cities and towns 1t
is far easier to secure a home at a
reasonable rental than 1t Is to get
one in a metropolis. Realty values
vary widely, living quarters of a desir-
able nature are at more of a premium,
and people of means seem to abound.
Usually it is presumed that family

A Sermon for Today

The Best We Can.

"And He looked up, and saw the rich

in thither two mites And He said, OF
a truth l say unto you, that this poor
widow hath cast in more than they all;
for all these have of their abundance
cast in unto the offerings OF God; but
she of her psnury hath cast in all the
living that she had."-Luke, xxi.

Yet, at the moment of writing, the
