HOW SOME PARENTS REAR
THEIR CHILDREN.

Believing that good parentage and
good home training are the most po-
tent factors for the production of the
right sort of men and women for this
world and the next, we avail ourselves
of this suggestive query from the
Atchison Globe:
"An Atchison girl of 10 gets UP in
the morning. eats breakfast, which
her mother prepares, goes. upstairs and
takes care of her room. and then goes
downtown. sometimes taking two
hours TO buy spool of thread. She
eats dinner, which her mother has pre-
pared. wears clothes her mother has
made. spends the afternoon reading
story books or gadding with her friends,
eats supper her mother has prepared,
and spends the evening with her girl
friends. She has done nothing wicked
all day. and her mother is satisfied
that she is bringing her up right. But

Hollow cheeks-induced by nervous

Goggles-induced by straining the

stubby fingers-induced by biting

Bent toes-induced by wearing short

Pimples--induced by tight lacing

She takes fifteen quiet minutes in a
darkened room after luncheon.

She never rides where she can walk

She is neither self-centered nor

She never lets herself moan over
the past or worry about the future,

NEGLECT OF THE TEETH is CUL-
Fable.

Dentists tell US our teeth are rapidly
deterioating. The Scotch peasants who
lived and grew strong on milk and por
ridge now drink tea and eat a herring
for breakfast, While the rich regale
themselves on soft food and made
dishes of every kind. The poorer
classes pay no attention to their chill
dren's teeth, and while in that wise
country Japan and among the Hindoos
daily teeth brushing and cleansing is
never omitted. it is the last thing poor
people think of in England. A man or
woman in~the prime OF youth but al
most toothless. is a common sight.
They neglect their teeth, then they get
toothache and have a tooth extracted
and when their teeth are gone they can
neither masticate nor digest.

FOR BEAUTY.

Drink a glass of water when you get

mind the size of the glass Let the
water be cold if you will Some peo-
pie prescribe hot water, but that isn't
necessary. You may have washed
face already and relished the expeEi-

GOOD TEMPER.

There are two kinds of good temper
one kind is a sweet-natured. sunny,
easy-going tempter that exists only
under no trials. The other is a healthy,
strong, helpful and sunshiny temper
which exists under all trials and tribu-
lations.
A maxim of one of the greatest
warriors of ancient times was:
Before a man rules, he must learn
to obey"
We might apply this in another man
ner-before we criticse the temper of
another. let US be sure that our own
is under control"

HAIR CROWNS THE FACE.
Constant Care is Price of Keeping
the Head a Thing of Beauty.


Beautiful hair is a crown of blessing
for every woman who wants to look
nice, and the thicker the growth, the
greater the possibilities for improving
its looks. Any hair may be made pre-
sentable providing it is heavy. No wo-
man with short hair can ever hope to
have as handsome a head as the woman
whose hair is long.
To brush the hair with Sachet powder
is a Partisan fad. The hair is dried and
very coarse heliOtrope powder is shaken
into it and quickly brushed out again.
1t scents the hair and makes it shine
if done properly. A heavy scent is
never good upon the hair, but a light
scent is just the thing. 1t destroys the
oily odor which arises from the hair
and takes away the dusty scent.
The newest fad is to use three diver
entshampoos, alternating them so that
the hair is always nice. One week ne
egg shampoo is used, which is made
by first wetting the hair with hot
water Into the wet hair an egg is
broken and rubbed into the scalp. after
which it is washed out with plenty of
tepid water. Another week a combina-
ton shampoo is used. This is madeisy
putting a tablespoonful of shaved soap

put teaspoonful of borax and not
more than two drops of ammonia. The
bottle is then half filled with water
and shaken into a lather, which is used
upon the head.
Sometimes the scented shampoo is
used which has for foundation an
egg shaken into a pint of tepid water.
into which there is put tablespoon of
soap and a teaspoon of cologne. This
is rubbed into the head and is finally
washed off with a great many very
hot rinsing waters. The final rinse con-
sists of cologne water and warm water,
half and half, and the hair is saturated
with it.
The hair shuld always be dried in
the sun, for this ventilates the hair
and. makes it bright. 1t also shades it
a little and sundried hair makes pref
ty lights.
