REMEDY FOR A COLD.
Which Has Been Successfully Used in
a Household for Many Years.

The following recipe has been sue
cessfully used in Our household for
many years, and Is one which has
proved of the greatest value to US and
to our friends. Take a large teacupful
of linseed, cents worth of pure stick
licorice, and one fourth of a pound of
valencia raisins Put these into two
quarts of cold water, place on the stove
and let simmer over slow fire until
it is reduced to about half. Take Off,
and strain through a cheesecloth or
fine muslin place it on the stove again,
adding fourth of a pound of sugar.
candy Cor rock candy. Pound the
candy until it is quite fine, and when it
is dissolved pour the whole into jar
or sealer, cover and place in the COOL
Take half pint of this mixture on go
ing to bed, adding the juice of half a
good sized lemon and tablespoonful
of old rum to the quantity you are
about to take. The two latter ingredi
ents are best added only to the quantity
about to be taken, as If added to the
whole it Is apt to grow fiat. Rip the
raisins slightly with a sharp knife, so
that all the goodness may be obtained.
White wine vinegar may be used in
place of lemon juice, but the latter is
much to be preferred. Some may find
a little difficulty in obtaining the rock
candy, but a little perseverance will be
amply repaid. None need hesitate in
the using of this remedy, for if taken
in time it is not too much to say that
it is infallible. 1t has been known to
cure colds in less than three weeks
that have almost settled into con-
sumption.-Woman's Home Compan-

THE SCHOOL LUNCHEON.
How to Pack Up One That Will Be
Appetizina and Nourishino.

The children are going to school, ant
the question Of a luncheon becomes {
serious one. A very. very serious ont
when the statement of the schoo
officials are taken into consideration
namely, that sluggish brains and physi'
cal lethargy in large proportion Of
school children have been traced to in
sufficient and improper food.
To pack up a luncheon which will
look appetizing when opened several
hours later is an exceedingly difficult
task, but one that must be accomplish
ed somehow when the children have
some distance to go to school, SO that
they cannot come home at noontime.
Within reasonable limits, their prefer
ences ought to be consulted. but care
must be taken not to over-indulge
them with unsubstantial dainties.
candy and so forth. Nutriment must
be first considered
Sandwiches are, of course, the staple
of packed lunch, but these need not
always be of sliced meat. Variety
may be secured by making cheese and
egg sandwiches. Dates and nuts can
also be used, and the bread may be
white, rye and brown, used in rotation.
Crisp breakfast rolls are also appetite
ing. and crackers can be turned to
account. In the way of relishes, fresh
horseradish and olives are. perhaps,
the very best.
If the children tire of boiled eggs,
try giving them deviled eggs, and then
again change the menu by adding meat
finely minced. grated cheese, or nuts
chopped fine. Sausage, dried beef, and
even ham, should be tabooed; the
first contains little nutriment, and the
last two tend to cause thirst
Do not allow your children to form
the habit of eating pie or rich cake for
lunch. The pie eating habit, national
though it be, is most pernicious Pas
try so hampers the digestion that men,
tai application for several hours after
ward becomes well nigh impossible
Make test Of the matter, il you don't
believe it. Eat large piece of pie and
then sit down to write a letter or
straighten up the household accounts.
You will find that your brain is clogged,
and that you are almost over
whelmed with somnolency. Children
cannot study their lessons quickly and
accurately If thus oppressed.
So do not yield to their pleading for
pastry. Give them, instead, a slice of
plain loaf cake. No crullers or dough-
nuts; they are as bad as pastry. You
may put in the lunch box a dainty cup
custard or some preserves or jelly in
glass jars All fruits in season should
be included in their turn, and bar Of
sweet chocolate is perfectly whole
some addition.
In packing the lunch, use paraffine
paper, If you would have it remain
fresh and appetizing. Boys usually
like to carry the folding tin box. and
this ought to be thoroughly scalded and
aired over night. PAPER mache boxes
are nice, but somewhat apt to acquire
a stale odor. For girls and boys both !
the Japanese telescope baskets are nice.
1t is well to use japanese napkins en-
tirely. as they not only look pretty but |
save laundry work, and do not have to |
be carried home.-Boston Record.

Dear little Willie's gone to school
We left him at the door
The baby that his mother had,
Alas. is hers no more!
His little kits are put away.
His f1axen curls are shorn;
His toys lie in the hall to-day.
Neglected and forlorn.
Our neighbours chickens calmly hunt
For bugs and worms and things
Or sun themselves, relieved from fear
of broken legs and wings.
The doing cat is cuddled up
All in a peaceful heap,
And out upon the steps the pup
Is catching up on sleep.
All, signing little mother, why
Sit looking pensive there?
There still is sunlight in the sky
And sweetness in the air.
The peaceful moments calmly go

I'm sorry for the teacher. though,

EASY Cure of an Ualy Habit.

mother whose little daughter had
the habit of biting her nails had tried
numerous unsuccessful devices for cur
ing her before she hit upon one which
proved eminently effective. This was
nothing less than the gift of a mani
cure set, with permission to use it all
she wanted to. AS the child learned
to polish and trim her nails, her JOY in

MOTHERS WISDOM.
The Tendencies Of Early Years Of Child
hood Must Be Carefully Watched.

Bring up a child in the way he
should go until he is IL years old, and
he will not depart from it,"-said ar
old clergyman once to the writer.
Unfortunately. the early years of in
fancy and childhood are the ones in
which domestic cares press hardest
upon the mother with limited financial
means and growing family, making
her often overlook the tendencies
which unchecked or not guided prop
erly may later appear as habits we'll
nigh impossible to eradicate.
1t is necessary for those of us to
whom the most important and complex
task, the training of young child. has
been entrusted. to remember continu,
ally, that what we want the little one
to learn we must teach him.
The fine qualities of truthfulness.
honesty. of obedience to law do not
develop naturally; they are attained
only by a strenuous course of disci-
pline, which begins as soon as the in
telligence awakens.
The young child's mind is like a
sheet Of blank paper-he has, for in
stance, no conception of the rights of
property as his elders understand 1t.
He sees toy belonging to playmate,
candy or fruit on the counter Of a
store, his impulse is to take it-why
not? Now is the time for the first
lesson in honesty il the mother sees
the temptation.
Some years ago, the writer noticed
that a little fellow Of six, friend of
her own little sons, seemed to be well
supplied with pocket money.
Mentioning the matter as tactfully
as possible to his mother, it was dis
covered that he had been abstracting
1t from her purse secretly. She
laughed easily and said she thought
all children would do the same thing
If the opportunity offered.
Half a dozen years later the same
boy stole his aunt's purse and ran
away from home. and now at ~ years
of age is an adept in vice, and his
mother. poor soul. wonders why the
good God should have sent her such
trouble as wayward child.
To the acquaintance, it was a most
sad but inevitable outcome of the
mothe rs own low ideals for him.
Absolute telling is also one of
the first lessons to be taught.
Much good Judgment and self-re-
straint must be used in the matter of
administering punishment. for the
fear of a whipping is invariably the
first inducemeut to child to lie. Let
him understand as soon as his little
mind can grasp it, that he will never
be punished If he comes to his mother
and tells her he has been naughty; and
the point that the untruth
Is the objectionable sin, worse, oh
much worse, than soiled or torn clothes
Or broken bric-a -brac.
Praise literally his manliness in tell
ng of the fault and repeat this pro-
,edure not seven times, but seventy
lines seven If necessary; and take the
word of one who has tried the recipe
with her own children, that you will
see your boy grow up into a man,
whose word is to be trusted, and whose
integrity in money matters is absolute.
More's the pity, that when he goes
,ut into the business world he will not
ind his mothers standard a too COM
non one.-Anna Smith Perpall in
