LIFE’S DAILY ROUND multifarious duties of the HOUSEKEEPER. Much of Work Required Is a Labor of Love, But Should De Lightened Whenever Possible —Reliable Washing Fluid. In these days of specialization the housekeeper is about the only one left undisputed “Jack of All Trades.” Every boy and girl leaving school has it drummed into them that they must choose one thing and make the most of it, if they would reach the top. Every maid coming from the othei side, green as the turf she has left, scorns general housework, acting on the advice of her friends and the em ployment agencies, and stands boldly out for specialization as cook, wait ress or laundress. There are women, brilliant, ad vanced ones, who are boldly advocat ing the revolt of “mother,” claiming that she can do more for her own and the world at large if relieved from the thousand and one petty avocations that go to make up the grand sum total in the daily round. These stand for a central nursery, a central kitch en, a central infirmary, a central laun dry, and so on to the end of the chap ter of housewifely avocations. While there is much to commend in this much exploited new departure, the most of us hav f e the home instinct so well developed that in spite of weari ness of flesh, we still prefer to stand for our own fire upon the hearth, our own table where love goes into the making of each dish, our own nursery where we can cuddle our own babies, and, above all, the care of our own when sickness comes. There are many things that may be done outside the home with advantage to all con cerned. Among these the heavy laun dry w'ork, w’here strength is limited and help cannot be procured, stands first. In most large cities now there are central laundries that take fam ily washes for 35 cents a dozen, min gling all the plain pieces, such as tablecloths, pillow cases, sheets and towels, returning the others rough dry, but starched ready for ironing. Managing in this way all the large pieces can be done outside the house, leaving the little particular things to wash at home. This is really a very fascinating part of housework, and when brains are 4>ut into it becomes a fiiie art, like embroidery or millinery. A reliable washing fluid is a great lightener of labor. Here is the recipe for one that has been used in the same home for 30 years. Used ac cording to directions it is warranted not to injure the most delicate fabric. Dissolve one pound concentrated potash in six quarts warm soft water. When cool add one-half ounce salts of tartar, and one-half ounce crude dry ammonia. Put into a jug or large bottle and cork tightly. This will keep any length of time. When ready to wash, put on the boiler with a suds made of any good laundry soap, allow ing to every three pails of water a half cup of the washing fluid. Put in the clothes that are least soiled, boil ten minutes, take out and wash through fresh water in the usual way, rubbing any soiled spots that may re main. They will come out like magic. Meantime be boiling the second batch of clothing. Rinse in clear water, then in blue, and when dry the clothes will be found snowy white. If pre ferred the clothes may be soaked over night in a warm suds with a quarter teacup of the fluid added to each tub, but this is not necessary. Good Home-Made Paste. A good paste which Is yet inexpen sive is a necessity in any home where there are children, since many a rainy day can be put in happily with a paste jar, a pair of scissors and an old magazine or two. Purchase five cents’ worth of gum arabic and turn it into a wide-mouthed pint jar hav ing a screw r top. Fill the jar two thirds full of cold water and set away over night. In the morning a smooth, transparent jelly will be the result, and this should be w T ell stirred up from the bottom with a stick. Let it stand for three nights in this way, stirring it up each morning. Then add a few drops of wintergreen to scent it nicely, and it Is ready for use. Turn into a small jelly tumbler for im mediate use, keeping • the large jar air-tight. This paste is not at all sticky and can be applied with the fingers, if necessary, without disagree able results. Oldest Engineer Dead. John Waterworth, the oldest en gineer in the world, has just died at Preston, England, at the age of 85. He drove an engine 2,000,000 miles in his 37 years of service without a single accident. Remember Good Deeds Only. When a man does a noble act, dale him from that, forget his faults, let his noble act be the standpoint from which you regard him. There is much that is good in the worst of men.—Dr. Bellows. Fearful Pains SUGGESTIONS HOW WOMEN MAY FIND RELIEF. While no woman is entirely free from periodical suffering, it does not seem to be the plan of nature that women should suffer so severely. This is a severe strain on a woman’s vitality. When pain exists something is wrong which should be set right or it will lead to a serious derangement of the whole female organism. Thousands of women have testified in grateful letters to Mrs. Piukham that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound overcomes woman's special pains and irregularities. It provides a safe and sure way of escape from distressing and dangerous weaknesses and diseases. The two following letters tell so con vincingly what Lydia E. Pinkham s Vegetable Compound will do for women, they cannot fail to bring hope to thousands of sufferers. Missesellie Holmes, of 540 N. Division Street, Buffalo, N. Y., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — < “Your medicine is indeed an ideal medicine for women. I suffered misery for years with painful periods, headaches, and bearing-down pains. I consulted two different physicians but failed to get any relief. A friend from the east advised mo to try Lydia E. Piukham s Vegetable Compound. I did so, and no longer suffer as Idid before. My periods arc natural; every ache and pain is gone, and my general health is much improved. 1 advise all women who suffer to take Lydia E. Pinkham s \ ege table Compound.” Mrs. Tillie Hart, of Larimore, N. D., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: — “ I might have been spared many months of suffering and pain had I only known of the efficacy of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Ask Mrs. Pinkham’s Advice — A Wen* Survival of Ancient Belief. It is an ancient belief that a man’s name has some mysterous sympathy with his nature, whence arise such stories as that of Rumpelstiltskin, whose power over a human being vanishes the moment that his name si pronounced aloud. It has been suggested, with some show of reason, that the modern practice of “nam ing” a refractory member of the house of commons is merely a sur vival of this belief, which our Norse ancestors brought into England.—St. James’ Gazette. AWFUL SUFFERING. From Dreadful Pains from Wound on Foot —System All Run Miraculous Cure by Cuticura. “Words canont speak highly enough for the Cuticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My'system had been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I w r ent to the hospital •where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost be yond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I was so disheartened that I thought surely my last chance w*as slowly leav ing me. As the foot did not improve, you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, w r hich was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Someone spoke to me about Cuticura. The conseouences were I bought a set of. the Cuticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a mir acle for the Cuticura Remedies took effect Immediately. 1 washed the foot with the Cuticura Soap before apply ing the Ointment and I took the Re solvent at the same time. After two weeks’ treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly be lieve their own eyes.

Pinkhaius Vegetable Compound has done for me.” Such testimony should be accepted by all women as convincing- evidence that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound stands without a peer as a I remedy for ail the distressing ills of i women. The success of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound rests upon the well-earned gratitude of American women.
