MISSION IS DESERVING
OF AID OF THE PUBLIC

AS the winter comes on apace the
little waits of the community seek
the protection of the Union Mission.
Four children, whose mother died re-
Gently, and whose inhuman father
deserted them, were voluntarily re-
leased to the mission yesterday. An
other family of six small children
have been brought to the attention of
the legal committee, and the case of
brutal treatment by n father of his
child is now under investigation by
the officers. Proceedings in this lat
ter case will be instituted at once if
upon further inquiry action seems
justified by the facts. The mission
home is to be painted and bath room
installed and the place made as COM
Portable as possible for the winter.
Friends of the mission will kindly re-
member that winter is the time of the
year when the demands upon the
home are the heaviest and the eX-
penses are consequently the greatest.
An opportunity for helping the work
in very effective manner is afforded
by the rummage sale shortly to be
held. An urgent appeal is made to
all the citizens of the city and com
munity not only to donate to this
sale but to attend its sessions, and by
their presence signify their sympa-
thy and interest in the work.

Fo,a of smoking.

Smoking in church is Dutch GUS
tom. Dutchmen are such inveterate
smokers that one Of them Is rarely
seen without his pipe. He finds HIM
self unable to deprive himself Of the
Indulgence even for the short period
IF a church service. A similar practice
exists in several churches in South
America. Smoking in churches In Great
Britain is said to have been prevalent
Mt the end OF the sixteenth and the be-
ginning of the seventeenth century.
AT one time smoking was carried to
such an excess in Seville cathedral that
the chapter applied TO the pope for
power to repress the abuse. Urban
VIII, yielding TO their wish, issued
bull. which was promulgated Jan. 80
1912.
In Wales smoking in church was In
Obliged in as late as 1850. In one church
the communion table stood in the aisle,
and the farmers were in the habit OF
putting their hats upon It. and when
the service began they lighted thelr
pipes and smoked, without any thought
OF irreverence in the act-Youth'f

How to Use Glycerln.

Since SO many people use pure giycer-
In for the skin. word of caution seems
necessary.
II you apply a little glycerin to the
tip of the tongue, you will find that
although it has pleasant, sweet taste,
the first sensation that is felt is one Of
pain and burning. This is because glyc-
erin has strong affinity for water and
absorbs all moisture from the surface
which It touches, thus drying up and
parching the nerves.
Ignorant OF this fact, nurses and
mothers sometimes apply pure glycerin
to the chafed skin OF infants, doing
harm instead of good. The glycerin
ought to have been first mixed with an
equal bulk of water. Elder flower wa
ter or rosewater can be used instead OF
ordinary water II preferred. This be-
ing done, it may be applied to the most
tender surfaces.

A great Swedish statesman once said
that the world is governed too much.
whether true or not of states. the mot
is certainly true in many cases of chill.
dren. How often has q bright boy,
full of life and energy, been spoiled by
the very DEMONSTRATIONS, palms
taking, but ncessant, overanxious'
fussy-of his parents or tutors to train
him we'll! In their anxiety to make
him a model Of virtue they allow him
hardly any freedom or opportunity to
do wrong and, being kept continually
in leading strings. unexposed to temp
tations, the triumphant conflict with
which would teach him self reliance
and strengthen his moral backbone, he
becomes moral weakling. Boys thus
stuffed with advice and fettered In
their action resemble n boy rightly
reared no more than a chicken trussed
on spit resembles a fowl in the field.
Some parents do not seem to know
that there is such thing as wearing
out the conscience OF child by e1-
IRENE pressure and overstimulation. A
shrewd old English lady was once
asked what she would recommend In
the case of children who had been too
carefully educated. She replied, "A
little wholesome neglect"
