Minnehaha park, which appeared
last night in The Press, Commits
sioner ]. T. O'Brien this morning
ordered the police to tear down a
banner stretched from w. w. p.
c. poles at the corner of Riverside
av. and Howard st. The banner
announced in big, red letters, the
ouening of the park and its Sunday
night dances. Chief Waller this
morning furnished policemen to
do the job. Pete Gouyet. the
French lessee of the park, objected
to the removal of his sign, but it
was done, nevertheless. The police
have noticed the departure of dis
reputable Frenchmen from the city
and supposed they had gone to the
coast. Warrants are out for some
of them on disorderly conduct
charges and if they come back to
town they will be arrested.

Cures for Insomnia.

The victim of disagreeab1e trouble
must study himself.
Laying awake is often a habit 1t
is worth almost any effort to break up
such a habit, says the Philadelphia
INQUIRER.
Insomnia is usually the result of one
Of three th1ngs-poor circulation, in
digestion or mental distress. The
person who studies himself carefully
will be able to locate the difficulty and
treat himself accordingly
For poor circulation try warm baths,
warm-water bottles, brisk rubbing,
soaking the feet and deep breathing.
For Indigestion take a warm drink
before retiring or when s1eepless
Drink warm water, warm milk, weak
tea or cocoa and breathe deeply.
For mental distress mere will pow
er is the best Close the eyes and as
fast as the thoughts come drive them
out. Carry on in the mind a house
cleaning process.
Sweet sleep and plenty of it will
go great way toward keeping wo-
men young. When sleep departs
wrinkles come.
It is by sleep that we gain strength
for another day. Sleep is to the brain
and nerves what food is to the body.
Here are few simple, tried rules
Tor driving away insomnia:
Go to bed warm. Never go to bed
with cold feet.
If the events Of the day have been
trying. read a short light story be-
fore retiring.
Leave the window down at the top
and protect the bed from drafts
AS soon as the body touches the
bed relax the muscles, shut the eyes
and make ready to sleep Nothing
drives away sleep more quickly than
the thought that one can't Sleep

Sleep for Girls.

You cannot afford to forget what an
advantage it is to your looks and dis
position to go to bed early, says a
writer for girls in the Ladies' Home
Journal. Such a habit formed now
will do much to bring you happiness
in married life. I do not mean that
you must give up all pleasure in the
evening, but if you are out late one
evening be sure to go to bed early
the next night. In this way you will
preserve good balance. IF your
flance is living in the same town it is
a good plan to limit his calls to three
times a week You will both eniov
them all the more if they are not too
frequent. The season of courtship is
ALWAYS a nervous strain, and it is only
1ust1ce to yourself and to your lover
to relieve the tension now and then.
And don't Overdissipate on Sundays.

Training Children in House Work.

A Florida correspondent of the
Southern Ruralist, expresses herself
very sensib1y on this subject We
know of instances where men have
been very thankful that they had been
taught to do many kinds of house
work and we do not remember Of
ever hearing one who had been so
taught, express any regret, many con-
tingencies arise in life when such
knowledge is very convenient.
In this day and generation, when
hired help is not. available for one
reason Or another, children can be
a great deal OF help to mothers, who
know how to get the work out Of
them.
There is more truth than fiction in
the old adage, "4All work and no play
makes Jack dull boy" The tact to
turn work into play, makes it a pleas
tire to both mother and children.
In household where the mother is
in feeble health, with several chill
dren to care for and perhaps a COW
or two, with no help it is no wonder
she breaks down nervous1y and the
doctors advice is go off for change
and rest" If she had the patience to
teach her children to help her, what
saving of wear and tear it would
be on her nerves.
I have a family in mind which
think is a model in that respect, and
it would be we'll if more mothers
would follow her plan The mother
was asked how she could have so
much leisure, and always find time to
attend to her social duties, knowing
that she did her own work and had
family of five children to care for.
She replied, that she enlisted all her
children in the work that some moth
ers did not have the patience to teach
their children. They would rather do
the work themselves than to bother
with teaching them They would as
sign their duties to them and expect
they would get through and have it
we'll done
She found that by working with
the children, it teaches them how
to get through with the work, and to
do it carefully and properly, and it
seems more like fun and they don't
dread it.

10 stop mouseholes take piece of
common hard soap, stop the hole with
1t and you may rest assured you will
have no further trouble from that
quarter. 1t is equally effective as re-
CARDS rats, reaches and ants.
The odor Of fish may be effectually
removed from the steel knives by rub
b1ng them with lemon peel. After
dinner at which fish is served an extra
amount of soap and boiling water
should be used in washing all the
dishes.
The easiest way to remove the
stems and to clean dried currants is
to dust them lightly with flour and
then rub them through flour sieve.
The stems break loose and can be
rubbed through the wires without
difficulty.
Ginger Snaps-Take one cupful of
good molasses, one-ha1f cupfu1 soft
lard, one tablespoonful hot water,
three tablespoonfuls vinegar, one tea
spoonful each of cinnamon, soda and
ginger Mix stiff, roll thin and bake
in a moderate oven.
One of the housekeeper's best
friends is bread crumbs. Crushed to
powder they may be used to clean
kid, bolting-cloth, lamp shades,
screens, scarfs and other decorative
articles They will remove grease
spots from wall paper.
To make a good suet pudding, take
one cupful chopped suet, two cupfu1s
-four, one-ha1f teaspoonfu1 soda dis
solved in water Mix with water to a
soft dough, roll and tie loosely in a
cloth. Dip into boiling water and boil
one hour
Long life means correct living, cor
rect thinking, proper exercise, fresh
air, pure water and pure food.
Poor eyesight and nervousness are
sometimes caused by the constant
wearing of too high-hee1ed shoes.
A teaspoonfu1 of borax dissolved in
bucketful of drinking water will de-
stroy disease germs and will not give
a disagreeable taste to the water.

The impure air rises and goes out at
the top while the fresh air comes in at
the bottom
A flfteen-minute rest taken after the
dinner Will be benehC1al to any one,
and invaluable to the busy housewife,
as it refreshes the whole body and
makes it easier to accomplish the
duties of the afternoon
An unpleasant odor on the breath
is sometimes caused by the accunu1a-
ton of tartar on the teeth. The teeth
should be brushed afer each meal,
under no circumstances neglect the
cleansing night and morning.

hold, she teaches them to clear the
table, and while she is washing the
dishes, one of the children dries
them, another one will stack them up
and set them aside The third one
swept the floor by continued correc-
tions, and she kept them pushed up
until the dining-room and stove-room
were in readiness. Then off to the
| bedrooms they would go. One help
ed the mother make the beds, while
another picked up and set things in
order, and the other one swept the
floors. Then, when the rooms were
cleaned up, one would dust the brio

They would alternate in the work,
thereby teaching them all to do the
same. By the time the house is set
in order, the baby is tired of the
one just older than he, and they all
go out to romp together, leaving
mother to rest and read until it is
time to get dinner.
Is there anything more helpful
more beneficial to the children, if
not so pleasant, than this plan?
Everything did not work smoothly
every day, of course, but the mother
had the cooperation Of the children
and they enjoyed the work
If mothers could only feel the i'm
portance Of teaching their daughters
to bake bread, cakes and pastries,
make jellies, preserves, etc, can fruits
and vegetables. which goes so far
toward making a happy household,
the subject "is marriage a failure"
would be out Of the question:
In this day of "careers" for girls,
housekeeping is lost sight OF, as an
occupation. 1t is too stale and monot-
Onous for the average girl. they aspire
to something higher CD.
If mothers had time to reflect, from
the strenuous lives they lead, they
would see the need of training their
daughters in housekeeping and cook
ing, etc, as this is an age Of dyspep-
tics, and there would not be so many
sorrows. diseases and divorces (the
effects Of dyspepsia), and womankind
would be happier.
If one keeps "he1p' all the time, it
is Just as necessary to teach the
ddugnIeIS the art. as 1t Tails 10 tne1r
lot in life to engineer the work, and
if they do not know anything about
it, how can they keep house success
fully?
It is good, too, to teach the little
boys to help with the house-work un-
til they are large enough to help with
the outside work 1t keeps them en-
p1oved, therefore, out of mischief.
Herein lies the secret of raising
good citizens for the future genera
ton.
Keep the children employed and
they will not want to gossip and CAD
around on the streets.
After the housework is over, there
is plenty time for fancy work, sew
ing. music and reading, also for visit
ing
