while the body goes without proper
nourishment. The plain substantial,
standard food materials like the
cheaper cuts of meat, fish, milk, flour,
cornmeal, oatmeal, beans and pota-
toes are as digestible and nutritious
and as we'll fitted for the nourishment
of people in good health as are any
of the costlier materials We en-
deavor to make our diet suit our pal
ate by paying high prices in the mar
ket rather than by skillful cooking at
home. The remedy for this evil will
be found in an understanding of the
elementary facts regarding food and
nutrition, in a better knowledge of
cooking and serving food and in the
acceptance of the doctrine that econ
omy is not only respectable but hon
orable.
The soup kitchens which have been
established in many cities, where
meals planned according to accepted
dietary standards are sold at very low
yet profitable rates, should furnish
their patrons with object lessons on
the food-purchasing power of money.
1t is commonly remarked by those
who study the conditions of living OF
people of limited means in different
parts of the country, that for sub
stantial improvement of their house
hold economics two things are need
ed. They must be informed as to the
high nutritive value of the cheaper
foods as compared with the costlier
kinds, and the methods of cooking
must be improved. A great deal OF
fuel is wasted in the preparation OF
food, and even then a great deal OF
the food is badly cooked. To replace
dear food badly cooked by cheaper
food we'll cooked is important for
both health and purse. To make the
table more attractive will be an eff
ficient means for making the home
life more enjoyable.

at the age of young WOmanhood
When one asked the other the ques-
ton How do you manage your girls,

when l demonstrate with them they
only laugh and go on in their own
way" The other replied very uncon-
cernedly: 81 never have any trouble
in controlling my daughters With
this remark the subject was dropped.
Wishing to hear the mother of 1.-The
tractable daughters" express her
ideas upon the training of children
and especially, the training of girls.
l afterward made an opportunity of
seeing her alone and brought up the
subject by asking her why she had
evaded answering Mrs. BIS question
She replied, "It was asked fifteen
years too late" At my request she
gave me her theories on the subject.
In the first place this training must
begin in infancy Here the first and
most important lesson is strict ODE

good citizenship and good govern

we think of our responsibilities as

for the manner in which we perform

govern as tyrants but by love, gentle
ness. firmness and by the example of
patience, guiding the tender feet in
pleasant ways, leaving out harsh
words and fault finding and in their
stead give words of sympathy, help
fitness and encouragement, always
leading onward to noble effort. Pun

essary if the mother has been faith

their punishments as an injustice and

every mother to make known to them.
Confide in them and make their
young lives happy. Rejoice with them
in their joys. Sympathize with them
in all their disappointments. Give
them the benefit of your own exper-
fence when needful. Let them be
children just as long as they will, for
this care free time is only too short
and the burdens of life come but too
soon After our little girls have
donned the garb of young womanhood
they can never go back and be our
little girls again. Then it is our duty
to place our children in the society of
people of intelligence and refinement.
They will have to remain where we
place them and we all become very
much like those with whom we asso-
ciate.
Furnish them with an abundance
of good literature, wholesome yet in
teresting reading matter Allow
none of the frivolous, trashy type to
be part of their literary table. Our
children will have their personalities.

have the privilege of planning and
arranging their own rooms, and
should be consulted on every subject
