Lindsay In his Housekeeper.
II the youth can be led to settle on some
future life purpose and be induced to plan
and prepare for It, half the battle is won.
a worthy life aim is a beacon light which
will guide the young into the safe haven
Of good health and good habits.
The mothers work for her daughters
should be to teach by precept and example
self-control and the need of directing life's
words and acts by rules founded on correct
principles instead Of the impulses and emo
tions. Teach them to respect themselves
too much either to mutilate their bodies by
wrong habits of dressing. eating, drinking
idleness or dissipation, or their minds and
morals by vain thoughts and imaginations
or giving away to nervous hysterical out
bursts of passions and emotions. Tell them
of the terrible life destruction and disasters
that have resulted from screaming at fires
and raising a panic. even when there was
no cause for excitement.
Encourage the bewildered youth to speak
freely of his doubts, fears and skepticlsm to
father and mother, and don't make him
feel that they and the Lord both look upon
him as a doomed, incorrlgible reprobate
The Master did not reproach a doubling
Thomas because he must have absolute
sight before he would believe.

premium to children who had lived year
he hit upon his present plan, because the
proper time to secure the child's welfare
is to have the mothers help from the very
first. I could not at first see quite how l
could make a premium effective in prevent
ing the child's death, which was what 1
wished to do. Then there came to me the
happy thought of giving to the mother, as
