SUGGESTIONS.
From Mrs. J. M. R., Washington. }
For Mrs. w. H. D. Two and
one-half times the family income
is the toS price a family should
put in home Gncluding land)
Choose your land generously, build
well and within your means, neces-
sary rooms and use plan adaptable
Tor adding, as needed and able.
For your Virginia vacation
Choose light seersucker or knitted
garments, that can be washed and
not ironed, and on which ticks can
be seen. Shoes with good soles
and uppers to avoid stone-bruised
feet. Take a fine tooth comb and
look the family over several times
daily and comb hair and look at
scalp to avoid ticks burrowing into
flesh. We have "roughed it" for
10 years on vacation. It's fun!
