The Freedom of Modern Women.

household Disinfection.

One of the household disin-
f~ectants is probably that sold under the
name of crude carbolic acid, which con-
sists Of a mixture Of pure carbolic and
cresylic acids, and is of a reddish brown
color. It's strong, tarlike odor renders it a
not disagreeable deodorant, but it's solu-
bility in ordinary water, which is in inverse
ratio to the amount Of cresylic acid pres
cnt is, in n sense, n considerable drawback;
it mikes, however, much more freely with
hot water, I'M for oil practical purposes
the solution thus produced is sufficiently
useful.
Patientsi IN some cases object to the smell,
and in these instances some other disinfect-
ant is of course to be resorted to, but this is
not the fact with the majority, while its
Responsiveness renders it acceptable in
public institutions, Offices, railway stations
and dwellings, where economy Is an object.
A refined preparation Of the article known
as crystalline carbolic acid is more expen-
sive, but Of much more easy application.
1t mixes readily with warm water, so that
a saturated solution is easily made.-New

A Suggestion About Gasoline Stoves.

The pcrsistcncy of the gasoline ntovc in
exploding, no matter how great the care
employed in It's use, has caused housewives
10 end of worry and annoyance. Mrs. Mary
Il. Henry of this city, who has had some
practical experience with the dcath dealing
gasoline stove, has found what she consid-
crs an explanation of the mysterious ex-
blossoms that are Of almost daily occurrence.
One reads very rarely nowadays of ex-
ploding gasoline stoves due to filling the
tank while the stove Is lighted. That piece
Of carclessness is of rare occurrence nova
days. Most of the explosions have been
from heretofore incxplicable causes.
Not long & Mrs. Henry filled her sup
ply tank by mistake with coal oil instead
of gasoline. 1t was a fortunate error, rs
the coal oil, being more penetrating than
gasoline, soon disclosed the presence of n
small leak in the bottom of the tank. A
man was called i'm to mend IL, and he said il
the tank were used for n month longer
without repairing there would nave been
an explosion, as the gasoline vHpor would
have escaped and caused an explosion.
Mrs. Henry infers from her experience
that most of the mysterious explosions of
gasoline stoves arc due to the defective ma
terial employed IN making the supply
tanks. She thinks that there should be mn
inspector to examine the material put in
gasoline tanks and that every housewife
should have her supply tanks painted occa-
s~ionally while the stove is in use. In this
way the sources of danger would be re.
duced to u minimum.-St. Louis Post Dis,

IncnIcafinr Consideration.

Teach a young child to wait upon itself
and upon its parents. Let it bring father
his slippers, cane, hat orgloves and mother
her workbasket, thimble or book. En-
courage it to perform any little offices that
come within its powers as u tiny child. 1t
will be proud to execute these small com
missions. and as it grows older it will form
a fixed habit of considering the wants of
others. Improvement Of the character is
likely to make the body more beautiful,
Mind and physique are closely allied. Noble
impulses, high aspirations and unsclfish
character are Indicated by u high chest,
we'll poised head and elastic footstep.
Let us therefore cultivate in our children
beauty Of mind and physique. The young
mother, whose interest in the topic is most
keen, must study the movements and tend.
encies of her children and take time to
teach them to be polite and orderly in their
habits, while their natures have the pliable-
ness of youth. Let her do this and her re.
ward will be both great and certain

Dear Food Not the Most Nutritious.

The maxim that the best is the cheap
est" does not apply to food. The best food
in the sense of that which is sold at the
highest price is rarely the most economical
for people in health. The food that is best
fitted to the real wants Of the user may be
the very kind which supplies the most nu-
triment at the lowest cost. Round steak
at Is cents a pound contains as much pro-
tein and energy, is just Us digestihle and is
fully as nutritive Us tcnderloin at SO. Mack
erel has as high nutritive value as salmon
and costs from an eighth to half as much.
Oysters are Il delicacy. If one can afford
them, there is no reason for not having
them, but % cents invested in q pint would
bring only % grams-about an ounce-of
protein and 26o Galleries of energy. The
same % cents spent for flour at S6 a barrel,
or 8 cents a pound, would pay for 400 grams
of protein and 1900 Galleries of energy.
When a day laborer buys bread at ~ cents
y pound, the actually nutritiye material
costs him three times as much as it does
his employer, who buys it in flour at So a
barrel.-Professor w. 0. Atwater in Fo-

Beauty Requires Plenty Of Sleep.

Plenty of sleep is essential to one who
would preserve her beauty to old age. The
sleeping room should always be we'll venti-
lated, and no article of clothing should ever
be worn ut night which has been worn dur
ing the daytime. Sleep is natures rcstora-
tive for weary nerves and broke down It's
sues. Children should always retire early
and be permitted to sleep until they awake
naturally and entirely refreshed. 1t il pos
tive cruelty TO force n child out of bed
when it begs for n few minutes longer to
sleep. Bodily growth may be greatly re
tarded by failure to get the requisite sleep
during the growing years.
When troubled with insomnia, one can
often entirely correct the trouble by getting
upas soon MS the wakefulness on and
thoroughly airiMg the bed clothing. Then,
standing at M open window, practice
breathing for a half hour by iuhnling
through the nose all of the air that the
lungs will hold nj each respiration and ex-
haling slowly through the mouth.-Ex-

Homeless MNtrimony.

We learn from a newspaper published up
on the Hudson that the Troy collar girls, of
whom there are thousands, do not as arule
enter upon ahome life after marriage. Says
one:
There nre many married women who work
in our shop, and | know OF many others who
work In other shops. Their husbands work
also, ard each clothes himself or herself and
earns his or he own living. Tho men in Troy
actually expect whom they marry that their
wives after IA short period will return 10
work, which they nearly always do.
This is an unfortunate condition of af-
fairs, bordering on the serious. IL Is agreed
that the object of mntrimony is the rearing
OF n family, and the Troy plan discourages
that, or Mt least robs the children and the
parents rs well Of the helpful md cnnobling

Tho Freedom of Modern Women-Wh oro

1t Is n woman's province to control and
manage the household. Whether she docs
1t wisely or unwisely rests with herself.
No one else can absolutely fill her place.
She should, therefore, study the phases OF
home affairs with the same application and
assiduity that she would give to q difficult
problem which may require weeks, months,
even years, to work out, but which In the
end must be solved.
A man enters the arena of business with
the full purpose Of being master of what
ever he undertakes. He knows that he
must succeed. Reputation, social position,
comfort, progress, the happiness of his fam
lily, ever life itself, may depend upon his
efforts. If woman would feel the same re,

Schools of Household Science.

Mrs. Ewing, the noted authority on
household affairs, says: The remedy for the
present condition of things is the establish
ment of a training school in household SCI
nee in all your cities and towns. You can
make them self supporting after the first
year. You can organize those classes and
go into them yourselves and learn the best
methods of doing housework, and you must
encourage your daughter to attend them
also. II you do this, the cook and the girl
who do the homework will follow. You
cannot push them ahead of you in the
schools, but you can lead them in every
line, and they will be grateful for the op-

A Word For the Babies,

The baby, bathed and powdered and
dressed in the finest and daintiest robes
which n mothers love and taste can pro-
cure, is tucked into its luxurious little car
riage and sent out with the nurse for an
airing. The nearest park, If the baby lives
in town, is the selected spot, and thither
the nurse trundles her charge, to find other
babies and other nurses awaiting her, the
babies winking and blinking ON their pill
lows, the nurses cheerfully hobnobbing to-
gether or flirting co%ntentedly with the uni
formed policemen who stroll in leisurely
fashion up and down the walks, warning
children and Migrants to "keep Off the
grass"
AT home the mother is busy with her sew
ing, or her book, or her correspondence.
The baby is of her mind for the moment,
and her hands are free for other duties.
Has she not a right to tnis breathing spell,
and does she not need it, SINGER nc hard days
work done by laboring man or woman ever
quite equals in strain on vitality and drain
on strength the exclusive care for hours
upon hours of u little creature whose help

it as a burden in ones arms and on one's
heart?
But dear mother! If she could sec her
baby in the park as the baby is often seen

sun beats down on the little face, binding.
ly pouring its beams in the delicate eyes.
The flies crawl over it. 1t frets and fuses
and hdgets, and the nurse bounces nsd

undisturbed. If old enough to assert its
will and show it's temper, thenurse perhaps
loses her temper and asserts her will and
