Mothers lose d good deal when they fail
to train the little ones to ways Of useful
ness. Children really enjoy doing things
for grown-ups, Running errands are their
delight. Small girls can save mothers
many steps and domestic training can Be
begun at a tender age by compelling chill
dren 10 put away their toys after firing
Of them. and 10 keep their rooms tidy
and neat. BY the aid Of hassocks they
can even hang their clothing in closets
provided with hooks lower than adults
require, The best Of it is, they take TO
such habits most readily and retain them
generally to the end Of their days.
It seems to me that educating a daugh-
ter in housewifery must be interesting.
Housework has distinct departments
which can be subdivided into steps to suit
even slow inteIIects. The mastery of each
can be insisted on before advancing an
atom, and the girl has the best possible
equipment for the future after she com
pletes both her home and school course.
II it is necessary for her to 20 out into
the world to earn a living she will not be
handicapped by knowledge which will
cling to her after years Of neglect and
when she marTies she will be able to face
any domestic situation.
All girls expect to marry and matri-
mony IS the future always looked for by
a girls mother. Only the few marry into
a position where the cares OF homemak-
ing can be shifted TO other shoulders.
Naturally the wife who knows house.
keeping as she knows the alphabet will
be thrifty and able TO see numberless
ways Of saving which are overlooked by
ignorance. There will always be homes,
and wives and mothers must run them,
so the necessity for early training will al
ways exist.
Work shared by members Of the family
is easily done I have in mind a beauti-
ful old mansion with extensive grounds
left to the care Of two young women by
the death of their mother. There is a
father and brother whose comfort must
be looked after, and the family income
allows the four to live well. There are
two maids to assist In the house and a
man for outside work, and yet It is not
possible to run so large an establishment
without liberal assistance from the daugh-
ters Of the house. The work is evenly d.
vided between them. the elder attending
to the marketing and the kitchen end OF

Of the other rooms.

Why Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordin'
ary colds and recovered from them

for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin i'm common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by Il cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development Of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whOoping
cough are much more likely to be
contracted VIII, the child has a cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in a cold than in any
other Of the common ailments. The
easiest and quickest way TO cure cold
is to take Chamberlain's Cough Rem

fected by this preparation have made
it a staple article of trade ov'r a large

We often wonder that the politics of
the past were stained and soiled as in
our dsy, by mud ilinging, and yet a
cursory glanceat the contests of other
DAYS will convince us that notwith-
standing the Iearsts Of the present we
are improving. one of the saddest
mixtures of the bygoue of politics in
our country We find in connection
with the adoption of that immortal
paper, the Declaration of indelen-
dence by the continental Congress
which met in the city Of Philadelphia.
We read that Mr.. jefferson, who had
been chosen "a. chairman of the COM
