IN" ilISl HeSlId WITH ID
W. housekeeping crisis that
may try the temper of any house
wife, is just around the proven
al corner.
The smart. efficient thing TO
do, of course, before any such
upheaval, is TO take a household
inventory and stock of belong
ings. With pad and pencil check
each item of furnishing as to its
condition, need of repair, renova-
ton or cleaning before the fatal
day arrives.
The clever woman, too, will
have a floor plan of the new
dwelling to refer to so that she
can compare her present furnish
ings with her future space. II
she is wise she will discard what
has really fulfilled her needs,
and can be passed on TO others
whose wants are urgent.
Beds, their mattresses an
springs, are home furnishings of
first importance. During any
moving, careless handling should
be avoided. otherwise either mat
tress or spring may be hopelessly
damaged.
But before too much thought
and effort are expended IN seeing
that mattress and spring are
carefully moved. it's an excellent
idea TO ask oneself: How good
is TINS bed p" and consequently,
Is ii really worth moving ?" A
bed. mattress or spring that has

6. 6. 6. GROUP IN' ANNUAL SESSION. {.
Director of Taxpayers As- sOciatiOn to Be Principal
 Guest Speaker

The annual meeting of the Citi- zens' Good Government association will be held at 8 o'clock Wednesday night in Room B at the Central Y. M. c. A. A new board of mana gers will be elected and subsequently, will choose officers of theassociation.
 President Joseph Nelly said today that he doubted very much" if the association would take up at the meeting any plan to press for adop- ton of a city manager charterl for Waterbury at the present session of the General Assembly. That ques- tion vii be left for the new officers to decide, he indicated.
 As guest speaker at the meeting will be Raymond P. Botch, director of the Waterbury Taxpayers associ- ation, who will outline the work done by the organization since its formation here last year.
 The Good Government association two years ago secured, after Q stormy fight, passage of city man. ager charter which would become effective only if approved by ma jority of the voters at a public ref erendum.
 The proposed new charter was re- jected by the voters at the refer endum, which was held as special election in October, 1889.
 The charter recommended by the Good Government group in 1889 would have placed the management of city affairs in the hands of city manager and city council.
