I tnought I was "courtin" a Hooey Bottle, but judging from the way she talks about "we wo men" voting, she must either be a Vinegar Bottle or a Turnip Sal let. Of course I can't say who she is as she 'completely hides herselfyTf&hind that false name. But since she denies be ing related to the Pjesident, I'll bet hat, that she ain't half as purty as I thought she was, and could graduate at the Injun College in about thirty seconds. She seems to be "shame" 'cause I said she was kin to me, as she asked me so kindly not to tell it to anybody. If she is "shame" about it, I assure her that I am "shame" too. It was very kind of her to invite us nil to that all day dinner on the ground." Wonder why she didn't have the din ner on tables instead of on the ground and who did she t^ink could eat all day? I don't know" of but one man that could perform this miracle, ami thats Frank Dentcn. and I truly hope that Frank was there. Nota I'm go ing to ask Miss Blue Bell to change her raime for I never did like blue as a color. Scarlet or Violet Bell would sound so much better, but Violet is my favorite. How about it Miss B. B.? She says "we women" know which side our bread is buttered on, but failed to tell us whether If was corn bread or flour bread. If she ts eating flour bread with butter on it. she is living too high, as flour and days of high prices, and she "b&tVr-l cut out one or the other. Capt. Tho mas is going to be elected in spite of W^WttffiWr- and pass that law. But if she ia a Vinegar BottLo. she is 6xcu*>abte from the Injun Col lege, also from the "White House." PRESIDENT.

Her?- is the 'result of my investigation? One ga! llon of water weighs more than eight and a third pounds. This is distilled water, which having all solid matter boiled out is lighter than the water in use in the home. To the weight of ,t he water must be added the wei ght of the bucket in which it is car ried into the house and out of the house? The water is dipped from the spring or pumped up from a well or cistern-, carried to the water shelf or table, then lifted again when it is poured int.o pots, kettles, pans or tubs to be used in cooking, cleaning or warning. The water is lifted once more when It is acrried out of thy house after use. making at the lowest estimate mt least three times each gil lon of water used is lifted. City water companies estimate that the average family, father, mother and three children use three thous and gallons ofwater per month. If thousand five weigh more than two th ousai hundred pounds, as one gallons of distilled water weighs more than ei gTT^HTnt a thtrtr~TTn\r^B. and ? allows nothing for the weight of the bucket In which the woman must carry all .the water her family uses; but the water from her spring ?r well is not i distilled water and each gallon wei^ Ighs more than eight and a third pwfi"' lads. Suppose we estimate the wafer the woman handles as weighing eig!x.t and a half pounds per gallon, and al low one-half pound as the weight of the gallon bucket in which she carries the water. This is a low estimate for the bucket, Is it not, for any galvaniz ed Iron backets and tubs are used, not to mention the still heavier wooden buckets and tubi KsUmiatin# then each gallon of water the farm woman lifts as weighing nine pounds and re membering that she lifts each gallon at least three times?we are not here mentioning the distance she carric3 the water?for every gallon used she must lift twenty-sevnn pounds.

The others escaped with some bruises and a considerable fright. home per month, the woman lifts twenty-seven pounds or v.ater three ( thousand times, a total of eighty-one 1 thou iarxi/pounds of water per montn cr two thousand seven hundred poun ds of water per day. Now lets see about the distance tlte' woman walks In carrying this enor mous load of water. The Home De monstration Agent in Halifax Coun ty actually measured the distance one woman carried water?*5 yards?and found this woman walked 112 miles each year, and from the time she be gan keeping house up to the time the estimate was made, the woman had walked 3.808 miles in carrying water only. Is Xt any wonder women lose their youth, freshness, and beauty jind become 5>ld while they are yet young tn years? How many homes have the water supply as nearby the housse as 45 yards? Is not the usual source of supply a spring many yards farther :away than at this Halifax home? And isn't the spring usually at the foot of 'a hill, more or less steep, making it necessary to carry this ton of water up the hill each day at all seasons of the year, in the heat of summer and the cold of winter? Then, too, does not this inaccessible water supply tend" to make the inmates of the home use less water for bathing than| is sanitary or healthful? Do the men and boys, hot and tired from plowing ami from work in the fields have a cleansing, healthful, restful warm bath every nignt? Think this over and see if there is not some way ?.o put running water in the kitchen an*.l add to the comfort of the family and lighten the burden of the woman. By Mrs. M. M.
