Improvement ofoorn.


"Uncle Henry" Wsllace,is devoting q
good deal of space In his paper Wal
!aces' Farmer to the Improvement OF
Iowa Corn. He calls attention to the
fact that while the Iowa Farmer has
been improving his live stock for TWEEN
ty years and more he has given very
little attention to the great Iowa crop,
corn. Among the many articles which
have appeared In Wsllsce's Farmer on
this subject has been q series by Prof.
Shamel, Of Illinois, the corn expert,
and these are illustrated by q number
Of photographs showing different va
rieties of corn, perfect and imperfect
ears, the most profitable to raise, etc.
The average Iowa farmer thinks he
knows as much about corn as anybody
does but we miss our guess If he can
not learn lot from these articles in
Wallsces' Farmer.
In this connection we wish to say
that Wallaces' Farmer Is one of the
best agricultural papers that comes to
this Office. 1t is handsomely printed on
paper of fine quality, filled with at
tractive Illustrations, and IN addition
to its regular features, Its editorials by
"Uncle Henry" Its departments Of
Dairying, horticulture, the Hog and

A super-tltIou. Woman.

IT don't say that women are more
superstitious than men," said well
known bachelor, "but lady know
did a thing the other day on account Of
a foolish superstition that no man
am acquainted with would have done.
1t happened the day it rained SO hard.
The lady lives near Lincoln park, and
she had some business at the Center
market. She had gone only few steps
from her house when she discovered
that she had forgotten her pocketbook
and did not have as much as penny
in her pocket
"Did she go back? Not much. Her
superstition was that it was the height
of bad luck to turn back after once
leaving the house until your errand
was completed. So she kept religiously
on her way and, not having car fare,
walked over two miles in the cold rain,
when she might have spared herself all
the self imposed hardships by simply
walking back a few feet into the house.
She got wringing wet and lost her tenn
per completely, but she successfully Ito
her own mind at least avoided the pos
sibility of placing herself under the
spell of bad luck. "-Washington Star.

Facial Mask,

! have been asked about the value
of medicated face masks, and have
learned the efficacy of a homemade
mask In case of severest clogging and
inactivity Of the pores The girl who
tried it made mask for herself from
two old linen towels, worn very thin.
She made her preparation of oatmeal
boiled to pulp and mixed with butter
milk. Spreading this on the towels,
she made two fiat poultices, which
covered almost all of her face except
the nose, and, trying it on, she went
to her room and took nap of two
hours.
When she awoke her skin looked
fresher and fairer than for long time,
and, encouraged, she persisted In the
use of her mask, making n fresh one
every day. AT the end of a week her
skin was like soft silk, and naturally
She has sworn by her method ever
since. This oatmeal and buttermilk,
or simple bread and milk, or even oat-
meal and water, cannot but be ben
ehcial to the skin, cleansing it, whit
ening 1t and making it softer and
smooth. Such is the only facial mask"

Be Just With Children,


Be just with the children, and you
will gain their respect. A broken will
is about as useless as shattered tea
cup, while a strong will trained to
obey is the most valuable possession
child can have.
Never threaten unless you intend to
perform, and don't scold. Explain
briefly to the child why it is at fault,
punish at once and forgive freely, new
er referring to the matter again.
A smart, light slap is the most eff
fective argument to use with child
under three or four.
Except for cruelty or an exception
ally gross fault an older child should
never be touched.
If child is persistently fractions
and unreasonable, presume it is ill and
send it to bed and administer dose
of licorice powder.
Sitting on chair may seem ride
ulously light punishment, but If pun
ishment is rare even slight one is eff
fectiye,

wa.hins valuable rugs.

A writer in Good Housekeeping urges
against the practice of putting valu-
able rugs on the line every two or three
weeks and beating the dust and, one is
almost tempted to say, the very life
out of them. Perhaps this is not gen.
orally known: "When the surface be-
comes soiled, it can be washed with no
fear of injuring the colors, since the
majority of oriental rugs are washed
repeatedly before reaching this coun-
try, and the dyes used are thereby
mellowed and enriched. The best
method of washing large rug is to
stretch and tack it upon clean floor,
then scour it well with soap suds. Aft
er the securing it must be thoroughly
rinsed to remove all trace of the ami
NAL matter in the soap, after which it
should not be removed until it is per-
fectly dried. Then it will not shrink
and will lie perfectly fiat upon the
floor. A small rug may be tackled upon
the side of the house or barn, secured
as if on a floor and then rinsed with
the hose"

Chum with the children.

There are many conscientious ia
theirs and mothers who make them
selves and their children miserable by
taking youthful foibles too seriously.
1t is an innate propensity Of child
possessed of the average good health
and spirits to make older people laugh
with him, not at him, but at the things
that seem amusing to his own sense,
and the mother who has the blithe and
ready humor to enter into his fun be-
comes his most fascinating companion.
He needs her rebukes and bends to
her correction without i'll feeling where
sternness would arouse his pride and
ire, for he is assured that she is ready
to share all his innocent FRANKS and
that her disapproval has no foundation
in Impotence or injustice

Creme Spots.

Many a housewife who thinks she
knows the best way to eradicate
grease spots, the most common of all
stains, finds that within few weeks
after treatment the garment has an
unsightly ring where the spot was.
This was due to the fact that when the
stain was rubbed and the grease loos-
ened, it, lacking an absorbent, spread
itself into the surrounding fabric. This
is the right way to remove grease
spot: Take benzine, gasoline, turpen-
tine or, best Of all, ether, and moisten
a large ring around the grease spot,
gradually working toward the center.
When this is reached, Immediately sat
urate two pieces of plotting paper with
the spirit, place one beneath and the
other on top and press with weight.
By this means the grease will be alb
sorbed as soon as dissolved.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Spots on paint which cannot be stirred
hy soap and water will vanish beneath
rag dipped in washing soda or am
monia.
Bedclothes should often be exposed
to the direct rays of the sun. 1t gives
them sweetening that is promotive Of
quiet rest and sleep.
1t is said that two ounces Of perman-
ganate Of potash thrown into cistern
when the water has become foul will
purify it completely.
Try renovating brass chandeliers
which have become dirty and discol-
ored by washing them with water in
which onions have been boiled.
A good broom holder may be made
by putting two long screws or nails
into the wall about six feet from the
ground. Drop the broom between them
handle down.
Rugs, mats or carpets can be cleaned
thoroughly hy generously sprinkling on
them yellow cornmeal that has been
well dampened In clean soapsuds or
weak ammonia water. Sweep off in q
few minutes.
To use oil of red cedar as moth
preventive pieces of cotton batting
should be wet with the oil and placed
in closets and drawn or tied in the
mouths of bags holding garments OF

An Afternoon Out.

The housekeeper who is without help
is especially in need of rest and recre-
alton. She should set apart an after
noon, preferably in the middle of the
week, and on the same day each week,
for if not definitely fixed it will too
often be postponed. This leisure time
should be spent in rest or recreation,
duty for the moment laid aside. OF
course when possible these afternoons
should be literally tout" in the fresh
air and sunshine. On stormy days or
when she is very tired a long nap or
an interesting novel may refresh OF
amuse the weary worker. A good sto.
ry, read before an open fire, is always
enjoyable. But when possible get
away from home, for usually change is
the best rest. Believe me, you will find
this wise plan. And make your aft
ernoon out" as long as you can.

NURSERY NOTES.

Try giving castor oil in warm wealth
er with plenty of sugar. The baby's
lips will Hmack over it.
1t is much easier to dress baby on
the bed than on your lap. You will
have both hands free and greater lib
erty Of motion.
If the baby kicks much in his bath
it will be well for the first month to
battle him with his binder on. This
will prevent all danger Of straining.
There is nothing children love much
better than small furniture, made for
them. Little chairs they often have
but low tables are more rare. They
should have them also.
Mothers make the memories that are
to be the Inheritance of their children
during all our lives. What tribute
to mother love it is, when the silver
haired man or woman says: I'VE die
have such good times when we were
children!
1t is always good sign for baby
to sleep great deal, and delicate ant
puny infants who sleep much become
strong and healthy children. Ever
babies who are large and thriving a
birth, unless they get great deal o.
sleep, become weak and sickly.
