no matter what the means employed,
30 that human suffering Is conscienti-
ously attempted to be relieved. We
believe in getting out Of ruts IL bet
ter way is found. We believe this Is
genuine philanthropy, as well as true
religion. We therefore view with
alarm the attempts heretofore made
by the established schools Of medicine,
by State legislation, to prohibit the
healing art being practiced, except by
those who perchance may be graduates
of certain schools of medicine. This
tyranny must be met We must do
our share in stamping out this at
tempted supervision of the rights OF
the people to choose their own method
of being treated for disease. The pres
ent session of the Iowa Legislature
will witness an attempt by the old
school of medicine, on everyone pro-
Tossing to cure or alleviate disease, ex-
cept by methods of its own prescrib-
ing. Measures will doubtless be intros
duced looking to the punishment as
criminals all persons who violate the
laws they will attempt to pass. ! need
not say regard this as dangerous to
our cherished opinions A committee,
allow me to suggest, should be APP
pointed by you to take such steps as
may be necessary to prevent the pas
sage of laws in the direction noted.
The organization that is clamoring for
this is powerful and will doubtless
spend all the money necessary to ac-
complish their purpose. / now leave
the matter to the wisdom of this con-
yention.
Again, visitors and friends, one and
all, hail and thrice welcome. May this
convention be productive of good to
the cause of true reform, may your de-
liberations SAVIOR only of the true
spirit of our philosophy, may your
hearts find new strength and fresh
courage as a result of this meeting,
may you realize more and more that
the true temples of Spiritualism are
the homes and hearts of the people;
that the ultimate good of others should
be always first, and your motto ever
be, "All for each and each for all"

There are three things in every home
which should never be permitted 10
show signs Of former use One of
these is the dining room table, one the
bedroom and one the bathroom. Each
of them should always suggest having
just been made ready for some ones
convenience.
This is especially true Of bath
room. Everything in it should shine
like the crystal and silver of a dinner
table, and be as fresh as securing can
make it
Shelves and cabinets are almost es-
sential for small bathrooms. In no
other way can necessary articles. medi-
cine and lotion bottles be hidden away.
Any ba lroom which allows them 10
remain visible week in and week out
is the bathroom of the careless house
keeper.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When a lock works stiffly. fill the
barrel of the key with oil and put it
into the lock. The effect will generally
be excellent
A heavy broom should always be Sc
lected in preference TO a light one for
thorough sweeping, as the weight aids
h the process.
To clear 8 stove of clinkers put a
handful of salt into il during a hot
fire. When cold. remove the clinkers
with cold chisel
Renovate brass chandeliers which
have become dirty and discolored by
washing them with water in which
onions have been boiled.
To rid pantry of insects stir a cou-
pie Of pounds Of alum into four quarts
Of boiling water Then take a brush
and apply it as hot as possible, TO the
cracks and crevices, shelves, etc.
Cut out the best pieces of your old
oilcloth when you are substituting a
new one and use them for rests for
your pots and kettles when you bring
them from The stove TO the table
To remove whitewash marks from

small quantity Of paraffin on a soft
cloth. The stains viii disappear com

Emergency Assi.tant.

One Of the latest occupations for wo-
men is an emergency assistant" This
assistant stands ready 10 help her &C
quaintances through times Of domestic
storm and stress, for a consideration.
She will take charge of a home and
children when its mistress is suddenly
called away. she will superintend
housekeeping or run a wedding and is
ready 10 come 10 the rescue of the dis
tressed housewife whose servants have
left her on the arrival of unexpected
visitors. AS may be seen, the occupa-
ton offers infinite possibilities TO the
woman Of education and refinement,
tact and common sense and some ex-
perience Of general domestic problems.

NURSERY NOTES.

The ideal nurse never feeds a child
between meals. She knows this is the
surest road TO setting up indigestion.
A child's toe nail should never be cut
like finger nail 1t must be trained
to grow square and never be pared
away at the sides.
Don't forget to dry the hands and
feet of a child well. Dampness be-
tween the toes may cause soreness or
even a corn. which may be troublesome
to get rid of.
Don't use artificial means to send a
child TO sleep. Walking about with it,
rocking it and jogging it are also bad
habits. A child should be taught to
go direct TO its rest
There is little streak of obstinacy
in a child which that fatal word
don't" frequently brings to the sur
face. Try to avoid it and turn the
child's mind in another direction.
The boy baby wears his white baby
frocks until he is two years old. Then
until he is three he may wear little kilt
dresses of bingham or linen simply
made, TO be easily washed. The skirts
come only to his knees.

Cleaning Common Laces.

In cleaning common laces make q
suds. Let the lace soak in this for ten
hours or more. Then rub gently be-
tween the palms OF the hands. Wash
in second suds in the same manner,
then rinse until the water is clear. II
the lace is TO be tinted, do it now; then
starch. Have flannel tackled tightly
on a board; spread the lace on this and
pin TO the flannel Be sure that the
lace is drawn out property and that
each point is fastened TO the flannel

How TO know Delft.

The first and most prominent ear
mark of delft china is that Of color.
Everybody knows that delft is blue,
but it must not be TOO blue The gen
uine article is as hard as porcelain,
and its natural color is a pure white
The only thing that should be blue is
the figure or design, and the produc-
ton of this deep indigo tint is one of
Hollands cherished secrets.
The trademark which is best known
on the delft plate consists of an oddly
shaped L surmounting an f. What
this mark really signifies is long since
forgotten, says the House Furnishing
Review.
Another test of delft is its ring. You
do not need 10 eat off delft plate with
a pair of ice tongs 10 hear the true
porcelain ring. Strike it with your
fingers while admiring the Dutch char
acteristics of the design.
No machine ever made a delft dec
grafton. and the modern article is most
readily distinguished by its uniformity
of design

A woman whose rich coloring is her
greatest beauty should be represented
in tones subservient 10 her vivid flesh
tints.
A girl with red gold hair is costumed
perhaps in dull brown tints, which do
not detract from the brilliancy Of her
tresses. Black also is a good costume
for her. In fact, nearly every woman
looks well in black. White accentu-
ates defects and is becoming only TO
youthful faces.
A middle aged woman with silvery
gray hair might be represented In a
gown Of gray satin. perhaps. or of
black velvet, with a bit Of white lace
somewhere about II. Dignity should
be found in every line Of her figure.

Well Kept Hands.

Over my sink are two bottles and q
nail cleaner. One bottle contains five
parts of lemon juice 10 one of alcohol,
which will keep indefinitely. The other
contains the following lotion: One
fourth Of an ounce of gum tragacanth
added 10 one pint of rainwater which
has stood three days, then one ounce
each of alcohol, glycerin and witch ha-
eel, also a little good, faint perfume.
After washing dishes or preparing veg
etables / apply a little of the lemon
juice, then the lotion, and In a moment
my hands are dry, soft and very
smooth. All stains disappear as if by
magic, and the nails are cleaned easily.
The time required is not over two min
utes. This process repeated five or six
times daily will certainly repay house
keepers, for what is there more indica-
tive of refinement than well kept
hands? Then, too, the expense OF
these lotions is comparatively nothing
Be sure TO have them in handy place.

To Independent Women.

Fashionable clergymen seldom insert
tie word "obey" in the marriage serv-
ice.
II is the brides pet aversion. While
it has never really prevented a we'd
ding. it is a stumbling block TO the
altar
\ pretty and tactful way out Of this
difficulty of tie marriage ceremony was
suggested by bride. who substituted
the word yield" for obey" and there
by asserted her right to equality with
her husband. She recognized his au-
thority. but il was the authority of
love. not law. and TO the feminine mind
there is a wide difference between do
ing thing because you want TO do il
and because you have to.
No man has 4 right to rule his wife
any more than she has 10 rule him. If
q woman hasn't honesty enough TO be
trusted with her husbands purse, if
she hasn't discretion enough TO be the

Woman's Choice.

The best work says an English writ
or. in the world is done by those of
both sexes 10 whom love is not the
master passion. Long ago Balzac in
sisted on this great truth. and it is
only when a woman has cut men clean
out Of her life that she becomes a great
artist. Thus il will be seen that brains
do not make for the happiness of wo-
man, for at heart there is scarcely a
woman alive who would not thrill at
her mans successes as she never
would at her own, who would not rath-
er be the little wife of a great man
than the great wife Of a little one.
Perhaps unwillingly has been thrust
on her the burden of fame, and she
must stagger painfully along under its
weight. for no one can help her, envy
ing the happy woman who sits warm
in the ingle nook, who has no lonely
tasks, no drudging hours. but who puts
her heart and intelligence into home,
making il nest Of comfort for those
she loves

The DoubIe Chin.

The double chin is a hard thing to
remove by home treatment, but it can
certainly be modified by persistent
daily application Of the following treat
ment: Grasp as much of the chin as
cam be held between the thumb and
forSinger and twist until it slips out.
Do this many times on both sides Of
the chin. One can form the habit Of
doing il when reading Placing the
hands on the cheeks. let the thumbs
meet under the chin, and draw them
backward, pressing hard and fatten-
ing the chin. One must not press
against the windpipe but only against
the under part Of the jaw. Last Of all,
clasp the hands upon the forehead and
bend the head slowly forward. resist.
Ing il all the time with the hands.
Bend till the chin rests on the chest
When this motion Is first used. a pain
full sensation will be felt in the cords

used muscles are being exercised and

ly after each motion. Do 1t four or
i've times, then go to something else
and come back 10 il. Five minutes
daily given to these three motions will
begin TO show results in six weeks.
The flesh will leave the lower edges
Of the cheeks first. removing the old,
heavy look which it always gives the
face. Though the obstinate double
chin may not be removed entirely. it
will be modified and kept down.

An eyelash is a pointed hair. If it is

length Of time. then falls out, 10 be re-
placed in a vigorous skin soil by anoth-
er lash. II grows approximately to its
full length more quickly than a hair
IN any other situation. II may fade
from the skin extremity. In that case
there is something wrong with the Sc
erection Of pigment. and the fading is
likely TO increase and be permanent
Or il may fade from the Zip. In the
latter case the lash itself is either ef-
fete or injured. If lash fading from
the tip has the faded part cut away,
the lash will grow and will not show
any fading A lash, like any other
hair, does not grow from the free end,
but from the part within the skin.

Value Of Myrrh.

Myrrh has held its esteem for the
