twenty men when our Wheat waS
threshed. Then as the winter months
came o; and our eehool would start,
I always boarded the teacher. Of
ceuree, this made eXtra work in cook-
ing aricl washing and ironing, as I al-
waYs did their work eight M with
mine.
I have often eeen my housework all
to be put in shape, about 150 little
chicks to be turned oat in their PlaceS
and fed, and a good-sized garden, to
be laded out in the early morning, and
thought that farm womezl were jut
worked to death. -
I ke,pt this up fora:bout eight years,
and was thinking and planning,,and
saving all this time to fix a 'clay where
I could do all ivy 'werk and not have
to work so hard, and accomplish more
in the long run.
We bad a house with only four
rooms, so decided to build. I selected
a plan where I had eight rooms, with
bath and closets. These rooms were
arranged so as to eliminate a lot of
extra. steps. We put a basement
wider this whole building, Now I
have ley canned fruit in there instead
of in a dirt house in- the back part
of the yard.
In this 'basement we put a hot-air
furnace, and every room Is heated by
he furnace. This saves me the work
of putting up and taking down stoves
and the job of polishing stoves three
or four times a season. And the fur-
nace being in the basement, when rny
husband 'builds the Ares all the litter
is in one place and I thus have much
less sweeping to do.
My living -room in the old house had
to be swept every time there was
vood brought in alid a. fire built, and
ow my living -room stays cleaner
wept three times a week than it did
when swept three times a day. This
was several steps saved. -
In this new house my beds are up-
stairs, and if I am crowded With extra
work on some mornings I can, leave
my bed-rnaleieg till in the afterneon.
So with the new house and more room
my work seemed to lighten consider-
ably. -
Then in a few more years, my hue-
_
band 4ught an electric -light plant,
and pstalled it himself. This was a
great saving, as labor along that line
s very high. Now I have an the
rouble of cleaning and filling six or
ight lamps every day done away

eady for a light at night is to step

Proper Food.

its driving power. We use -food in-
stead of eoal to obtain our energy.

require some of the energy we oreate
each day. The maintenance of bodily e

the growth of the body and the repair le

ties. Perfect nutrition depends upon
an adequate supply of energy to the
A variety of food's is desirable. Well
cooked foods served hi elean, whole- r

The temperature of our bddies ie
egulated to some extent by the
lothes we wear. Certain kinds of
lothes prevent loss of heat more tharn
thers. Soft, clean -woollen garments I.
lave the property of .containing large
mounts of still air enmeshed in their
fibres, This praetically non-moVing
ir forms a good. non-conductor of
heat. The amount of the body sover-
ed number of layers of wool or
shnilar woven cleth used, and the
leanhness of the clothing, influence
he heat loss. Soiled clothing retainsess still air, wet clothing retains al-
most none. Heat loss in the last ease
is very great. Wet feet particularly
should not be neglected, as they some-
times are. Cold, wet feet have a di-
rect predisposing influenee upoa the
development of inflammation of the
air passage.s ("catching. cold").
'When it is warm we desire to in-
crease the heat less. This is favored
by wearing loose garments, made of

Moorish Marriages.
In Morocco., as in most Moharrunee
dart countries, the native gilds are
married at an extremely early age,
often before they are fifteeu, and it
is not uncommon for them to have
been divorced at tweaty.
Divorce proceedings in Morocco are
not nearly so complicated as in this
country, ancl merely consist of a ,
friendly talk between the wornan's
husband and her father.
An arrangement is made by whieh
she returns to her parents, the hus-
band often paying compensation to
the father. The same woman will e
probably soon be married again to
