With moral, physical and intel

begins life in new home with all the
advantages that come to certain
plants that never thrive until trans
planted. The country boy knows how
these plants begin TO grow and
flourish as soon as they are drawn
from the beds where they have been
sprouted. In their new situation they
take root and grow with vigor that
probably never would have come had
they remain id in the place where the
seed was sown. The distinguished

A cordial invi- tation is extended the public and an ap- peal is made for contributions of money to de-ray tn running expenses of the nome.
 The anniversaries of the Home are usually made the occasion for Linen Reception but the approaching anni- versary has found the Home in need of a more substantial donation.
 The cost of maintaining fifty persons is a heavy tax upon the slender income of the Home. The city monthly appro- priation ia only fifty dollars and the county makes provision for every child who upon the investigation of the board is found to be entirely dependent upon the institution.
 But even with this monthly income. the expenses have to be shared by phil anthropic persons who give individually to the support of the Home.
 It is seldom that the Home makes an appeal to the public, for there are few persons ignorant of its object and it's work, and there is always a generous do-

Miss Lottie Coffin has been the accompanist of the rehearsals, and too much cannot be said in her behalf. She understands the mu- sic so well and leads the children in such a direct manner that the result Is most gratifying.
 MT. Weston has planned out all the scenery, and MT. |. C. Halstead is mak- ing accurate designs for the scenic artist who begins to paint the two scenes to- morrow They will be marvol3 of what is correct and artistic. The opera Is to be mounted regarding scenery, costumes and appoin tments as sumptuously as 1T it were to have long New York run. It is believed by all who have attended the rehearsals that the opero could enjoy a weeks run here to large and enthusiastic audiences.

Mrs. ROrer'S Advice To HOuSekeeperS.

Mrs. Sarah Tyson Rorer, Principal Phil adalphia Cooking School and Editor Household Department, Ladies Home Journal, says:
 Fifty pounds of ice in Q refrigerator will do the work of seventy-five or one hundred pounds in a chest. In the latter you get the cold from contact with the Ice. Necessarily there is moisture. Food spoils quickly in moist air In the refrig- orator you use cold dry air. and if your refrigerator Is constructed on scientific principles, with proper ventilation food will keep twice as long as in the box. I am pleased to call your attention to The OdnrlesS Refrigerator, manufactured by The Keyser Manufacturing Company, Chattanooga, Tenn. l am using a refrig- orator of this make In my school room, keeping 1t, or rather crowding it, with all kinds of materials. l find the ventila- lion is so perfect, that even the milk and with odors. Of course l have been using this refrigerator year without scrub ping or scalding 1t. The average house. wife feels 1t her duty to remove the con- tents and the ice, and scrub the refriger- ltor every week. Under such oircum- stances, refrigerator soon wears out, and in fact, is not then refrigerator. with such methods an ordinary box would answer the same purpose Keep the drain pipe clean and let your refriger- r- ator alone.
