An appeal to the pride
of the owner of a home

An appear 10 the prlQc
of the owner of a home
Everyone who owns a home is
anxious that that home shall make
the best appearance possible. Two
things are necessary to produce salts
factory results in painting and var
nishing home:
First-A satisfactory color scheme.
Second-Paints, varnishes, stains
and enamels of such good quality that
they not only give the exact color
effect required, but are sufficiently
durable to keep up the attractive ap-
pearance of the house in spite of the
wear and tear of living in it.
These are offered by the Sherwin-
Williams Paints and Varnishss. The
Sherwin-Williams Co. not only make
every kind of paint and varnish used
for a house and the best quality of
that kind, but they make suggestions
for the selection of colors, varnishes,
stains and enamels, 50 that any given
idea can be carried out, and car.
ried out with the best materials. N

Wells.

After viewing some of the colored
wells that appear with Spring hats it
seems we'll to remind their wearers
that there are only two booming
colors for face veil, black or brown.
Of course this does not apply to the
draped automobile wells of gauze or
chiffon, which rival the combination
of the rainbow, but to thin net wells
worn over the face. A white net veil
with black dots is becoming to a
woman with very rosy cheeks, but
most disastrous to the eyeslght. One
of the new wells that is especially be-
coming in either black or brown has
large dots and a velvet border. OF
course it must be put on carefully to
avoid bringing dots Or border in an
awkward position. Purple, blue,
green and red net wells, worn to match
a hat are usually very unbecoming,
almost grotesque. Whatever color
the veil, it is important that it be put
on neatly, with no loose ends. 1t
should be drawn over the hat brim
with trim, close lines, never crumpled,
and folded in neatly. Many wells lose
crispness and are crumpled into
strings by the common practice of
pushing it up to the eyebrows, instead
of taking it off, when the wearer wish
es to be free from it. This is not only
careless and untidy habit, but a
very unbecoming one, giving hard
tired look to any face. Does this re-
mark sound too frivolous for a sensi-
bic farm paper? Why shouldn't a
country woman take thought of her
personal appearance quite as much as
her urban sister? Tt is true that per-
manent friendship is founded on
qualities Of mind and character, but a
pleasing personality gives us our first
recommendation to strangers.-Rural
New Yorker.

The. Servant Problem in Cuba.

The house servant problem is a
serious one in this state. But ac-
cording to a correspondent Of Leslie's
Weekly, things are much worse in
Cuba. How would you like the Cuban
plan?
The Cuban matrOn has little to say
in the management of her own house
hold, as the family literally board with
their cook, who has sole control Of
the cuisine When a cook is engaged
she is paid SO much per month-$Io,
SIS or $40, as the case may be-for
her work. She at once inquiries how
much is allowed for the marketing,
which she is to do each morning. On
being told, she figures out how much
she can save from the amount, and if
the graft amount to say, IS Or 20
cents per day, she is likley to accept
the position. She rarely sleeps at the
house and usually has family Of her
own who are fed from the larder of
her employer Early breakfast is
ight-fruit, rolls and coffee-and at
noon there is a meal known as late
breakfast, which resembles the Ameri-
can luncheon. When this is finished,
the cook spends few hours at he1
home and returns at 5 o'clock in time
to prepare dinner. A half grown girl
is employed to wait on the table,
answer the doorbell, etc. In some
families male cooks are employed. If
the meals do not suit the master Of
the house, he adds more money to the
marketing allowance.

Show them that you expect them to
do their best every day, and never be
afraid of spelling them by praising
good grades and giving rewards for
work done. There are grown people
today all over the land who still cher
lsh little prizes given them years ago
for "head marks" or fine work in
arithmetic. The prizes never cost
twenty-five cents apiece, but they are
still valued above many costly articles.
And deep down in the memory still
fingers the words spoken by proud
parents when the prizes were carried
home in triumph. Hundreds Of boys
and girls have made their way to the
front in every department. of life with
out encouragement at home or abroad,
and hundreds more will follow their
example, but that does not relieve
parents of their share in the education
of the children Ever keep a high
standard before them and see if they
do not far outstrip the boys and girls
who never hear word of praise Or
encouragement at home

Food Value of a Quart of Milk.

Much attention is now being paid
to the selection of feeds for our farm
animals and but little heed is given to
the comparative value of foods for the
human family. We quote the follow
ing paragraph from Prof Atwater:
"A quart of milk, three quarters of
pound of moderately fat beef, sirloin
steak for instance, and five ounces of
wheat flour, all contain about the
same amount of nutritive material;
but we pay different prices for them
and they have different values for nu-
TRENT The milk comes the nearest
to being a perfect food. 1t contains
all of the necessary ingredients for
nourishment, but not in the proper
tons best for ordinary use.''
Scarcely any of us realize what
valuable food milk is until we COM
pare it with something else that we
considered very good and are accus-
toned to paying a rather high price
for it, Three-quarters Of a pound of
sirloin steak sells for about 40 cents
and a quart Of milk for from five to
seven cents.
1t is not customary for the Ameri-
can people to look at the nutritive
value of foods but they purchase the
foods that suit them, regardless Of the
amount of nutrients that they contain.
If more attention we're given to the
purchase of foods upon the basis of
nutriment, more milk would be used
and less sirloin steak.-Hoard's Dairy
man.

love, is worth a dozen or twenty who
do it through fear. Arbitrary vigi-
lance is tyranny A strong will must
be balanced by reason. Promptness
should be one of the first cardinal and
universal principles with a child. A
moral habit is not good character; it
is that from which good character
may grow. Habit is not morality; it
is the stuff which can be turned into
morality" The mother who has never
learned the secret of se1f-control can
never expect successful results in the
training Of her children.-Carrie Ash

Se1f-contro1 For Mothers

The following from Successful
Farming contains some good ideas:
No better or truer words were ever
uttered to mothers than at a recent
Mothers Congress by prominent edu-
Gator. eff you wish to govern others
you must first govern yourself. If
you wish to teach others you must
first teach yourself" This advice
might apply equally we'll to fathers
and teachers
If mothers could only realize how
they belittle themselves in the eyes Of
the public as we'll as in their immediate
families by raising their voices and
reprimanding as we'll as administering
punishment to their children in a pub
lie place, I am sure they would learn
self-control. I was filled with
righteous indignation only this week
at an incident which occurred in a
Chicago station. The child was a
sweet, sunny faced, curly headed lad
die of four or five years, full to over
flowing with life and activity, who
wanted to play around the big, pleas
ant waiting room. He disturbed no
one except his nervous, irritable, over
wrought mother, who believed that
children should be seen, not heard.
Much to the chi1d's discomfort, for
the day was warm and sultry, he was
expected to sit quietly in a chair
1t would have been much pleasanter
to have climbed tip near the large win
dows. Three times she jerked him
back angrily, hard enough to have
pulled his arms Out of joint, each time
spanking him severely, all the while
scolding in a shrill, penetrating voice.
It would have afforded some of the
tourists who witnessed the scene a
great deal of satisfaction to have told
that mother that she was the one who
deserved the whipping, and not the
poor child, who was simply working
off natural amount of energy.
Misdirected energy does not indi-
cate moral depravity. Have you ever
thought that the restful, serene, we'll
poised parent or teacher exerts a
quieting, soothing influence over the
children who are under her care? A
good illustration Of this was recently
noticed at a pleasant little summer re-
sort. A sweet, serene woman and the
mother Of two beautiful little daught-
ers, and the favorite with all the many
children who were stopping at the
hotel. They would gather around her
while she was sewing Or resting, to
hear the stories for which she was
famous. They were always obedient
and we'll behaved while in her pres
ence and seemed to feel her sweet,
strong influence. One girl of eleven re-
marked in my presence: "Mrs. Rich
ings is my stepmamma. I wish you
would take Lillian (Mrs RS younger
daughter, of whom I was very fond)
home with you, and then I could go
and live with her"
Professor Griggs, one of Our fore
most educators and lecturers, states
that "obedience should be taught
through love and reason. One child
who obeys because he sees the neces-
sity of obedience, and does it through

I wonder if every body knows the
best way to have milk toast! have
recently learned it. TOAST the bread
brown in the oven, or preferably be-
fore the fire Have the milk and its
lump Of butter brought to the point
of boiling, pour it up into a pitcher
and send to the table along with the
toast rack. Each plate should have
near it a bread and butter plate and
then each individual may fix the toast
to suit his taste. Even if rushed to
the table after the milk is poured over
the bread, it is apt to become too sog-
gy to be appetizing-The Epitomist
The tired mother who has been
working all day ought to sit right
down after supper and let the girls
and their brothers clear the table and
wash the dishes. "Mjany hands make

be given to understand that it must
take share in the housekeeping. 1T
is training in character to learn to
do work and to glorify the work by
doing it well.-The Farm Journal.
