To give housekeepers and house- maids a certain standard in the United Kingdom the government is preparing a ninth-month course for domestics. During this time the student will learn how to plan and cook thrcc-course meals twice daily, do a big wash and ironing. houscciean, look after invalids. and make her own clothes. She is also taught how to write a busi- ness letter and basic facts of par-

liamentary procedure and civil government. Then the students are presented with a diploma

showing they have completed the course. The diploma will be her passport to standardized domestic working conditiops .and wages.

This of course will insure a bee- tic household a comiisfefil m1”1' nger. But many households can not pay a manager's wages and the weary mother of four or five may continue to do hcr own wash- ing and ironing as before.

A further finding is that the "tired" feeling at 4 P. M. is not tiredness from work to hunger, and that a little food. or a drink in which there is sugar. gives a pickup which is more helpful than a short rest from work. Fewer mis- takes are made in the offices and few accidents occur in the factor.V when workers stop for a small amount of food at this time. some years ago. Drs. Howard W. Haggard, and Leon A. Green- berg, Yale University. in their book "Diet and Physical Effic- iency," recorded their experience is giving the same amount of food to various persons but givint: it in five or six meals instead of the usual three meals. They measured the changes-up and down--every hour of the working day. of the working ability of 213 persons from 4 to 40 years of age. They found that the working ability of these persons was dependent on their meals-that the long" me time since the previous meal. the less the working ability rose for the first hour after a meal and then became less and less until by the end of three to five hours. it was at the same point as just be- fore breakfast-the lowest point of the working day.

The average daily amount of work increased by 5 per cent on the same-amount of food divided into five meals.

Now. in these days. no house- wife can he expected to serve rive meals a day, but a chocolate bar or piece of candy. an orange or n banana at 11 A. M. and 4 P. M. should solve the problem. For the office or factory worker. is small part of his noon lunch could be eaten at 11 A. M. and the snack at 4 P. M., which amount of food could be safely omitted from his evening meal. This would answer tlhe purpose and mean no more work for the housewife.

A cold February morningl and what a joy to open a door to a small garden room. There is a nice earthy smell, warm and moist. reminding us of a garden after rain; we forget the cold and the
