Western Canada Flour Mills Co. 93 Limited, Toronto don, President: •of the Br;tish'-Federa tion of University Women, who ,ad dressed a gathering of the Women's Canadian Club in Tio4•.onto last week, put her finger on a weals spot in the armour of women in general, "house- keepers in particular, when she warned women that they should take stated periods . of rest. "When you get to the point when you say you are so terribly busy that you can not rest, you are in` a bad way," she said. Women who have hpuses to keep and :children, with tbeii myriad wants, depending upon them can easily get into the state where they think they cannot stop to rest, rto natter how wearythey beeorne. It isn't easy, as anyone with a might 4 imagine- tion, and a speck of an idea of the *ark of an ordinary 'house, can •see, and yet, if. the mother is, do do her best- work fdr liar family 'she must find a way to take .needed rest, re- laxation, to fit her for a continuance of her work. Dr. Cu11is, who is an authority 'on fatigue and its causes, tells the story of a young girl who worked in; a large laundry in London. This girl sometimes showed more fatigue at eleven o'clock in the morning than at the end of the afternoon. This was puzzling until someone asked what she was doing in the morning and herdejected answer was "soaks" and sl( addedthat she hated socks. Then on being asked what she was doing in the afternoon her face brightened up as -she answered: "The D'Oyly Carte's Jabots." Of course you see the paint? In the afternoon she was doing' work in which she was interested, and consequently, was less fatigued. Now, there is an idea for the housekeeper, or anytone, in fact, who has work tie do which is apt to bring on fatigue. Socks must, of course, be washed. No getting around that fact. But they needn't all be washed in one day. That is, all. the hard, uninteresting, back -breaking, enthus- iasm -chilling jobs do not need to` be done at once. If one cannot take time to rest in the .sense of laying aside alI work for a spell, atIeast the work can be arranged so that scene - thing interesting can be sandwiched in between the hard, uninteresting tasks. Work that is hard and uninterest- ing to one housekeeper may not be so considered by •another, For in- stance, dishwashing is considered by many as one of the worst tasks of the housewife, while others take a e - vy THE CLINTON NEWS -RECORD THURSDAY, MAY 2, 1929 sort of pride in doieg that work just as perfectly as it can be done and they not fin d i t'ne 'nearly so fatigu- ing n- ing as their sisters who dislike it. "I like 'housekeeping," a woman said to me the other day. "I just love planning my work and keening my house in order, cooking meals and malting everything comfortable for my family, and housekeeping is so varied I never find it monotinous." That is the sort of woman who is not likely to have a nervous break- down. Her work interests her; she rea'lize's the importance ,af it and gives of her best to it. But she al- so appreciated the value of nest from her work, as when I .was talking to her 'elle was on an automobile trip with her husband, taken on short notice, and enjtiyieg it to the full., If the housewife and nilotlrer is to. do her best work, and who doesn't wish to do that? she ought to give herself the benefit of little rest per- iods. In the large factories in the cities they are introducing rest .per— iods info their working days, eV that the employees may -be the fresher to continue their work, and even though houseekeping is not nearly so mon- otinous es factory work, still, there is need . far change, for rest, for planning so that it may be done with the least possible fatigue, the least possible loss of enthusiasm. RFEBEKAH COUNT YOUR MANY BLESSINGS Some people spend ranch time in kicking about this and coinplaining abbut that—nothing seems lid, satisfy them. They kick about taxes, complain about working, • grof wl about public utilities, fuss about prices, and have spasms about the weather. They seldom •se'em to realize how well they fare, as compared with the early settlers. If they would sit dofwnt and calmly compare their lot with that of their forefathers, they would realize that they are living an easy life. Their forefathers worked from dawn to sunset. Automobiles and auto trucks were unknown to them. Rail transportatidn was a minus quantity. They used horse, mule or "ox drawn vehicles, Electric power was unknown. The telegraph and telephone had not yet put in an appearance. Little attention was paid to sanita- tion and hygiene, Newspapers had not become great and were not delivering their mes- ages into every home. 'If they weuld, they could think of a thousand other things that we have today to make life comfortable that our forefathers did without. It is just RS easy for fellow to look at the bright side of life as it is to worry about the dark side --and it is much more pleasant. .

This accounts for the stupendous total of business exchanges. Credit has been: potent in • creat- ing a demand for gdods, by making their acquisition :easy. Thridugh credit operations, active capital is multiplied many times. Industry is stimulated by'the nec- essity of fulfilling obligations and well -conceived credit system ;have been devised through •which sellers Limit the commitments of buyers to their ascertained 'worthiness, mater- ial and moral. Yet, with all the safeguards that have been thrown around'eredit, it remains one of the major hazards of. business. Bad debts are the chief factors in innumerable commercial disasters i Some few lines of endeavor ,have been made virtuallyproof against bad debts. Antoniobile manufact- uring appears to be one. At least, some lef the great companies have se organized their' g se'lhng systems that they do practically a cash business. This 'is the more surprising since it. isee ninon knowledge that enor nous numbers of automobiles are sold on deferred payment plans. Where there is much credit, there must be some defaults. But most nietor ear producers have found the way to escape embarrasneent when these occur. To what extent this is true is re= vealed in a degree by the report •orf one of the larger companies, which •announced that since 1914, though its total sale price of cans rand car parts (the cars gold numbered. 1,- 500,000) disposed of was more than $1,230,000,000, its loss from bad debts amounted to •only $38,000. Probably several ethers could show as good a record. This ought to be the subject of profound study in all business cir- cles. .If credit losses eould be ma- terially reduced withdut diminished distribution and consumption of goods, the common prosperity would be greatly increased.

A well dressed, smooth talking young man entered his store and asked for a 5 -cent package of chew- ing gum. He gave a $10 bill in pay- ment, and upon receiving his change remarked that he thought that he had handed the merchant a $1 bill. "You certainly ;are an honest man," ho said. "Yon might have given me only 95 cents in change and 1 would not have discovered, the mistake," `.Chen the young man produced a 31 hill, placed it with four of the $1 bills the merchant had given himin change and asked the merchant if he would mind Ietting hint have a 86 bill for the five $1 bills. The mer- chant laid a $5 on the counter. "Here, I'm robbing you of all your change," said the customer, Picking un the 85 bill and the five $1 bills. "Just let me h,'tve my $10 back and I'll give you this $5 and the $1 bills." The merchant: made the change and the customer left the store, Later the merchant, in going over his card, discovered a shortage. He told the Policeman he was not sure. but he thouglet he was 'out• about $5,05. The policeman insisted the merchant was shy $9; and the clerk at the police station to whom the report was made figured the shortage to be $6. What do you say?
