Make Back Yards Attractive.
nNIoyo1l \


Would it not be wise to eXpend a
little energy in improving the appear
ance of the back yard? 1t is apt to be
a most unsightly spot. Even fastidi-
GUS housekeepers, who never fail to
have their cellars and attics cleaned
out often neglect their kitchen yards
or make them a dumping place for all
sorts of things.
Many a beautiful flower garden is
spoiled as far as appearance goes by
an ugly array of tin cans, mop-cloths,
kindling wood and ashes. Why not
pile the kindling wood in a corner,
with a screen of latticeWork in front
of it, or, better yet, in shed built OF
latticework that is roomy enough to
contain the garbage pail, as we'll as
the ash barrel, rakes, hoes, ETC.? over
the shed Virginia creepers and other
vines can be trained to grow. The
Japanese hop vine is excellent for this
purpose, being most luXuriant climb
er if it has sunshine. Sweet peas make
pretty lattice screen for small garb-
age bucket if a housewife feels that
she must have it conveniently placed
beside the kitchen door. Old mops and
brooms can be hidden in a closet kept
for the purpose or in the lattlceWorK
shed.
Other things have no rightful place
in the back yard, but some women
have a passion for saving useless
things, with the bare hope of putting
them some day to a good purpose, and
in consequence they utilize the attic
and back yard as storage places.
In addition to the lattice shed and
other utilitarian devices, there may be
a square bed of herbs placed near
the door way, so that the cooks may
easily select seasonings for soups and
braises. This herb bed can be en-
larged, if there is room enough, to in
clude small rows Of lettuce, young on
ions and radishes.
One housekeeping woman who loved
flowers had built over her back door
a broad cover, or "hood," that reached
out completely over the stoop. On
either side of the stoop she placed

A Good Bank Account.

The best bank account any one cab
have is having ones word absolutely
reliable. A young man was talking to
me once about starting out in life
and how serious the prospect looked
without any capital. why, my dear
young man." | said, every man can't
start with a fortune! Just make your
word good. When you say you will
do a thing, do it. When you agree to
meet a person at a certain hour-be
there. If other people break their
word, that's their affair-keep your
part of the bargain" The first man
who gives you job will recognize that
characteristic the first day you work
for him; at the end of a week he will
say: "Well | never saw a boy like
Hiram can depend on him." And
that kind of a Hiram thinks ahead
little bit, and does not wait to be told
to do every little thing-he sees it for
himself-and the boy who does not
have to be told when boxes are out OF
order, when rubbish needs clearing
away, when the fire is getting low,
when a door needs to be closed, etc.,
is the boy who will see opportunities
when they come his way. And the
first time a vacancy occurs in POSI-
ton better than the one he occupies
he will probably find himself in it..
Always being a little larger than the
place you hold means stepping into
the next higher, and never being too
good for any part of the work, whether
it's sweeping, securing, polishing, and
to do that so we'll nobody can find a
flaw in it-that is storing up bank
account worth more than young people
know. The world is full of shiftless
people who never can be relied upon,
whose word means nothing, and whose
work generally has to be done over;
and when a person is found who is &C
curate and thorough, and whose word
is absolutely as good as written con-
tract that's a person who is already
stamped with success.

There is a Bio Difference.

Laundry soap is intended for coarse
work, such as washing clothes. Toilet
soap is suited to taking the dirt from
the skin. Shaving Soap is different
or ought to be. 1t should thoroughly
moisten the hairs, hold them firmly
against the razor, and then leave the
skin smooth, cool and velvety. Will
liams Co., Glastonbury, Conn, have
made a speciality of shaving soap for
nearly three-quarters of a century, and
it is the "only soap fit for the face"
In another column they offer to send
free trial sample. Be fair to your
face and send for it,.

Receives Hiuhest Award.

The Foos gasoline engines received
the gold medal (highest award) at the
Lewis and Clarke exposition, which
is in line with the results of practically
all exhibits made of Zoos engines at
the various expositions held during the
past ten years. This is the engine
which was operated on polished steel
rollers at the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position at st. Louis last year and
which attracted so much attention.
A photograph and description of the
exhibit were published in The Ranch
last month. This machine is handled
in the west by the Hallidie Machinery
company, of this city, whose address,
by the way, is 315-317 Second Ave.
South, and not on Occidental Ave-, as
enormously stated in the article de-
scribing the roller-engine exhibit. The
Foos Gas Engine Company have the
largest factory devoted exclusively to
the building of gas engines in the
United States, and have been building
only this type of machine for the past
thirteen years. Doing no other class
of manufacturing and having experts
in their employ, the Zoos Gas Engine
Company's product represents the most
advanced gas engine practice in this

Careful Training Is Necessary.

bAORoOANANANo
Careful Training Is Necessary.
Flimsy excuses for children who are
in fault and need a smart reprimand,
and the use of up-to-date slang by chill
dren, are problems worthy of thought.
These often worry elders in the family
beyond conception. Perhaps the best
plan to rid the child of such notions
and disagreeableness is to be on the
guard and take speedy or severe meth
DDS of conquering such usages, part1cu-
larly in slang talk, one so frequently
hears coming from small folk. Ihey
get such stuff and nonsense from hear
ing, or initiating others older. Be
careful to set no slang examples Tor
them to follow. It's almost an unpard-
enable offense for the parent to use
slang perhaps for amuse-
ment only-in the presence OF chill
dren. They will CLEAN enough outside
of the home circle for all emergencies.
And a repetition is sure to follow just
as soon as it is thought of, which is
ofttimes very embarrassing. The mother
hears some such talk and attempts
reformation in the lad: He responds:
"Why can't l say that agin? Pepper
says it, and I'm going to, anyhow" NO
disagreeable habit fastens itself to
child more quickly than slang phrases;
and the excusing it, as many parent
does, is but a f1imsy pardon confusing
and counting but little among strang-
ers "You see, Freddie heard me say
that the other day and so he thinks its
all right-he knows better, though.
He's not going to repeat it any more.
Freddie keeps on thinking he's real
smart and big, knowing it is naughty,
and he's been notified to stop. Thus
the slang phrase language becomes
serious habit, started right in the cir
Gle of Freddie's home. Then should not
one strive and endeavor to use or say
only such expressions, terms, phrases
and calculations as will bear imita-
tions, leaving nothing wrong for others
to copy from, in any manner whatever?
This is the safest, surest, and about
the quickest way out of very I'M
fortunate situation.

the door, Or, make roll covered
with carpet or heavy cloth, that can
be easily pushed back against the
crack when displaced by any one enter
ing. Outside doors, and those opening
into cold room, need some such pro-
lection.
Is there a handy lounge in the din
ing-room, upon which the tired man of
the house may stretch himself for
short after-dinner rest? If you can not
afford to buy one, get the boys to make
a stout frame, and make tick of I'M

Take a well-worn quilt or old COM

or two cushions, and the lounge is
ready for everyday service.
