be proud of her. He wants you
to appear new and different. He
will notice it.
And a wife, above all, owes II
to herself to be beautiful and
charming. After all, because she
is wife and mother, does not
mean that she should cease being
a woman.
IT is easy to be caught in an
everlasting whirl of feeding,
dressing bathing, cooking, house
cleaning, budgeting and the thou
sand and one other daily duties
of the housewife. Small wonder
then, that the mother, In caring
for her family and her home, ne
elects herself. But she must learn
to budget her time as she does
her money; plan time for beauty
care as carefully as she plans
her menus. 1t is very easy for
her to make excuses for the fact
that her complexion is no longer
fresh, her hands chapped and
roughened, her waistline a little
thicker. 1t is easy to do, and
eventually becomes a habit. This
she must guard against, for the
longer she neglects herself, the
longer it takes to get back into
shape"
It does take time and money
to get your complexion, your
hands, your figure, back to
semblance of what they once
were But it takes very little, so
that is really no excuse. The SIM
plest sort of cosmetics will do. A
bottle of hand lotion in the
kitchen as well as the bath is
essential. 1t should be applied
after every wetting Of the hands.
and the time used in this is SO
infinitesimal as to interfere with
none of the other duties of the
busy housewife. A few minutes
a day, night and morning, for the
brushing of the hair and a weekly
shampoo.
The use of nail white and nail
cream, and a little smoothing
will do wonders for your hands,
and all can be applied at odd
moments. Even the busiest par
ent can squeeze in Is minutes a
day and perhaps half hour a
week for the care of the COM
pleXion.
IT WILL pay to be very fright
ened at the first sign Of thick
ening Of the waistline, a broaden
ing Of the back, an extra pound
or two. You should check on
your weight Immediately. 1t will
only take a few moments a day
for some beneficial exercises. And
stop before eating that heavy des-
sert and the rich food.
You can grow lovelier and
more. interesting every year.
Don't slump. Don't make ex-
cuses! Pep yourself up. Take care
of yourself. You will feel better
when you look better. And you
will be thrilled when your chill
dren tell their friends what a
pretty mother they have! When
your husband is proud of you!

MiddletoWn Town Council has
made another cutting in electric
current rates saving customers
more than $4,000. The new cleo
trio stove rate will be as low as 8
cents per killowatt instead Of 4
cents. The old special rates on
electric stoves have been abolished
and one meter will be used, as the
new rates will mean approximately
a so per cent reduction on current
for stoves. New rates are as fol-
lows: houses, first 80 kilowatts, s
cents per kilowatt. Next so kilo-
watts, 6 cents. All over 80 kilo-
watts at 3 cents per kilowatt. Bus
iness houses, first 100 kilowatts at
6 cents per kilowatt. All over at
3 cents. Old rates were the same
in the lower brackets but the low
est rate for houses was at cents

places at cents instead of 3 cents,
According to Superintendent of
