ths,r social qualities and admired by everybody
and yet who are not intellectually cultured
Another necessary qualification that must b
considered is moral culture. We protest against
calling a roue, gambler unprinciped man
cultured. no matter how fascinating and perfect his
manners may be, or how thorough his intellectual
requirements.
The truly cultured man or woman is cultivated
morally. socially and intellectually.
PROBATION AGAINST COLDS.
There is greater danger of contracting colds this
season of the year than at any other time. The
cold rains have set in and the bleak November
winds are more penetrating than the severe cold
of Winter. A little caution now will save US many
q cold, which ofientimes lasts all Winter IL con-
traoted in the Fall
Flannel next the skin Is an excellent preventive
against cold. IT not only acts non-conductor
of heat. but gently stimulates the skin and assists
il in throwing of superfiuous matter. As rnie
men dress warmer than women; particularly Is
this true of America.
We sometimes laugh at the appearance of Dutch
women in pictures, and clumsy American woman
is often sneered at as of Dutch" build. Although
IL is true that the Dutch exposed to cold, damp
rains and severe frosts, yet coughs and colds are
almost unknown among them. We cannot say
that Of Americans. 1t is fact that Dutch women
while an American will only wear one. The SUI
perior health of these is often attributed to
the amount of flannel worn Certain 1t Is that
plenty of warmth about the ioins and limbs 10
greatly conducive to health and comfort.
A flannel band around the loins is highly recon-
menSed as a preventive against cholera and bowel
complaints.
Another thing to consider Is warm, dry feet.
Most of the colds come from wet, damp feet, and
chronic cold feet indicate poor, unequal circulation
If you are troubled with cold feet try wearing
wooden stockings.
BEGIN EARLY.
People make a great mistake when they keep
their children under lock and key. as they would
bisque dolls and china figures. bringing them out
for dress occasions only. Children who take the
rough and tumble of life fare best, the chief care
being that they well clad and wholesomely fed,
and guarded against real dangers.
But children should be allowed TO strengthen
their limbs by climbing and their hands by dig
gins. They should run in the fresh air and have
plenty OF il in their sleeping rooms sharp frost
will hurt them if their feet and chests are we'll
covered and their cheeks all the roster from
run In the snow or sleet.
The child that is allowed sufficient freedom is
the independent child. He learns his resources
early, and knows what hands and feet and eyes
and ears were made for. Here is where country
boys and girls have the best start.
The country home is not burdened with a super
fluffy Of wage workers. The tired mother needs
help and her children called into service early;
they do things because mother does; they help
take care of one another and by so doing learn 10
take of themselves. In their case the fear is
not that they viii grow up shiftiess and Idle;
rather that they may lose intellectual ambition
and settle down into common delivers. when the
culture OF the mind is just beginning.
The infnencs of early training have been the
theme of sage and saint since the history of man
began. Let us understand that there is real
education, except when the hand is servant to the
mind and the mind puts the hand in motion.
Rousseau said: The education OF man COM
n1ences at his birth. and whoever is well educated
10 discharge the duties OF n saan cannot be badly
prepared to fill up any Of the offices that have re-
lation to him."
Plato said: "The beginning is the most import
ant part. especially In denling with any thing young
and tender, for Is the time when any impression
which may desire 10 communicate Ia most
readily stamped and taken"
jacobson says THAT youth Is the expensive
period of mans existence; he produces nothing,
but eats all the time. If Inc is not trained there is
no profit 10 mankind in his existence. and as man.
kind Ia liable for his support and is bound to pay
bis expenses he should be trained to repay them.
II he is left unskiiled the money expended on him
is wasted"
