A New System.

- Il
new system of accounting in the
several state Offices, which it is be-
heved will reduce to the minimum
mistakes and discrepancies in the dis
bursement OF state funds, has just been
put into effect in accordance with a
law passed by the recent legislature.
Under the new system, the head OF
each department is required to prepare
an abstract in triplieate, showing each
item of expenditure, the person to
whom it is payable, the amount and
the fund. One copy of the abstract is
sent to the state auditor, one to the
state treasurer. and the third is kept
by the head of the department..
The state auditor, under the new
system, will issue his warrant covering
the entire abstract, and the treasurer
issues his check for each separateitem
This is practically the same system as
is provided in the law relieving the
state board of control of the care OF
the state university and normal
schools.

Tell Children the Truth.

When your little girl m to you

life which trouble her innocent soul.
never put her of with foolish legends
and explanations which do LOT ex-
plain. Tell her simply and truthfully
all that you wish your mother had told
you. Make 1t a sacred confidence be-
tween her and yourself-somethins
not to be spoken Of to anyone else.
She will feel a new sense of dignity
and Importance from the mere fact
that her mother has trusted her.
AS she grows older, do not be afraid
to talk to her of the ~sacredness and
beauty of the love and marriage that
has not been thought unworthy of
being chosen as a type of the relation
between Christ and His church. She
will not indulge in silly firtations if
you have done your part faithfully.
She will know that while love is the

Western ranch, has edited a daily

the women in cities, she is able now
to point out q thousand ways in which

of the exhortation that might be sup

The woman who works need not
need she scorn the small cOurtesies
that may be rendered because she is
a woman. She does not appeal for
charity when she acts her natural,

have to demand consideration; her
