no economy In this method. WomP.n
88 w lI as men should remember that
there Is never anything of valne given
without an equitable compensaUon ,
and when purchnsed on the club plan
the profits paid are genoraUy enor-
mous. You cnnnot get something to'r
nothing. If you deslro to purcbaae
$10 or $20 worth of groceries , tbo best
place to buy them Is nt some re-
sl'onalbto grocery estabUshment In
: rour own town. You can see what
you are gotllng , anll yon know that the
goods must bo good or you can return -
turn them. Whcn you get a premium
with a lot of soa.ps or spices or extracts -
tracts , YOl1 wilt find that whllo the
goods may appear all right , there Is n.
great , chance oC fraud that you HlUe
look for. The bars of Seep , vl11 beef

how about the premiums ? YOl1 wl11
find that tbey , too , are of the cheapest

only doing their duty In trying to ns-

EaDY Hou3o Cleaning.

house cleaning can be Q..ntlre17 cIone
away with and infinltelr : better roe
tlults obtained. My plan is to talto
: room at n tlmo wbeneTer It seeIUB
very dusty and clean Its waUs and
woedworlr , as weU M carpet or haret-
wood fioors nnd rugs. 'The dnr : this
Is done the other cloanlng need not
be so Utorough. A room at n Ume
In this way dee not Inconvenience
the onUre household , and , too , pre-
. . . .onts the great accumulation of dust
which comes with wafting for spring
and tall cleaning. GloBelw I clean
once a month , thus leaving no chance
for disorder , and promoting' cleanliness -
ness as a nteudy , not an occasional ,
r feature of home lIte.-Harper'R 1Ia.
