Before he realizes what words convey

avoided those things he did not want by
crying the time may come when his
health might be seriously affected.

CHILD'S DISCIPLINE.
outbursts of Temper Should Be Pre-
vented

Begin to train the baby in obedience

to be severe with an atom of humanity,
know. and it seems incredible that such
a small body can hold much strength of
will, but it is nevertheless true that, If a
mother does not conquer her child when
it is young, she will have a most difficult
time before many months are past.
Baby is apparently born with the in
stinct of getting what he wants by crying.
AS a matter of fact, his little brain soon
grasps the knowledge that screaming
brings the thing which he desires, or
something else equally nice. and there
fore he screams Justify. Most mothers
worry when their little ones screw their
faces into contortions, and work them
selves into paroXysms. and regards the
matter as serious. and to be checked at
once. So it is. but no. by the method
usually adopted.
When the healthy baby cries he is either
uncomfortable for some physical reason
or else he is displaying temper. If his
cries do not yield to ordinary measures 1t
is necessary to find out what causes the
tears and to accomplish this he should be
subjected to the closest scrutiny TO make
sure that his clothes are not hurting and
tha, he is not in pain. If neither of these
reasons for weeping exists then temper is
making the trouble. and the sooner he
learns to control it the better for all con-
cerned.

THE INDIANA BOOM
Progress Moving on Ball-Bearing Rollers in
Hoosier State-Great Convention
Expected

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, April 9.-(Specia CORE
spondence)-One of the features of the great
Prohibition convention which will be held here
week after next will be monster street parade
in which it is expected that more men than
ever took part in any other Prohibition parade
will be in line. Special honor will be done to
the veterans of 1884. the men who voted for
John P. St. John, and they will be given the
head of the column. Mr. George Hitz of this
city will be grand marshal of the parade.
Another feature will be dinner of the county
charmen of Indiana on Tueday evening. This
will be for the purpose of getting the county
charmen in closer touch with each other and
discussing plans of work.
The big rally Tuesday night will be adj
dressed by Mr. Eugene W. Chafin of Chicago.
All save two of the counties of Indiana have
already held their county conventions and are
into the campaign,

given and another collection taken in the
evening, but, in all told, when Treasurer John
Whtson totaled it up this afternoon, the conven-
ton contributions lacked only $243 of reaching the
$4,000 mark If Mr. Whitson had been light
ming calculator" and had been able to go before
the convention in the closing minutes with that
statement, that $243 would have been quickly
tributed The conventions committee on finance
approved the state committees plan to raise
large fund for the legislative campaigns and
special fund to use in those districts where the
campaign shall develop special opportunities.
At the conclusion of the Embarrassing Mr..
Stewart called to the platform the editor, business
manager and treasurer of The National ProlNbi-
ZIONIST and introduced them to the audience with
some very kind words to which the audience
responded enthusiastically Mr.. Woolsey, the
editor of the Danve Banner was also introduced
and greeted warmly.
In the early evening a large number of the
delegates formed in procession and, headed by
the excellent Court of Honor band marched from
the Leland hotel around the public square where
the time statehouse stands, where Abraham
Lincoln used to help make laws for the people of
Illinois, to the Armory where the convention was
held People said there were thousand men in
line, though actual count would probably have
shown much less, and the column was long and
made impression upon the people of Spring
field, hundreds of whom watched respectfully from
the sidewalks and the windows. AT two or three
points, in front of saloons, little gangs of toughs
shouted insulting remarks at the marchers who
trudged without word of reply. The Chi
cage papers this morning are responsible for the
statement that those who gave the insult were
drunken members of the Illinois legislature.
The evening session inspiration to all
present. The Hon. Alonzo E. Wilson, the state
chairman, presided and the first speaker was the
Hon. Dan R. Sheen of Peoria. Mr. Sheen read
his address but read so ably and entertain
ingly that the manuscript forgotten. 1t is not
too high praise to say that those who listened to
Mr.. Sheen heard one of the abest most logical,
most convincing presentations OF the Prohibition
argument ever listened to by any audience any
where. The full address is to appear in pamphlet
form and will be eagerly sought after by all who
had the pleasure of hearing him. Mr.. Sheen tried
to coerce his audience into refrainng from ap-
plause in order that he might have the time
in which to attempt the impossible task of deliver
ing two-hour speech in forty minutes but the
audience would applaud and did it both long and
loud
At the conclusion of Mr. Sheen's address Mr..
Stewart spoke briefly and presented again the fl
nancial needs of the state committee, receiving a
generous response, and the Rev. Dr. f. l.. Eaton
was introduced for the closing address of the
ming and as always, spoke both entertaningly and
convincingly.

from Minnesota HeddqndrterS.
The other day a man from the University of
Minnesota came into the office of the state Pro-
hibition committee to investigate the summer
paign proposition, and when he had read the list
of names of students from the State University
who had signed up for the work he remarked:
"Why, you have the best men in school," He
was exactly right about it.
Among others who will spend the summer in
the interests of Prohibition in Minnesota, from the
University of Minnesota winners of both first
and second prizes in the lnterclass orator1ca; the
leading debater of the institution, who has occu-
pied first place on the Minnesota interstate team
several times, well as another interstate team
man; the winner of the local and state Prohibition
oratorcal contest, several of the leading students
in school, and perhaps some of the professors.
Kansas will send the winners of both first and
second prizes in the state oratorical, in addition
to other competitors in that contest. One Kansas
man has refused commission firms offer of
$3.50 a month, guaranteed, to take $40 week
from the Prohibition committee and risk getting
his $40. Another gives up professorsh1p in his
alma mater at handsome figure to work in the
out-to-win campaign.
Nebraska sends the winner of her state contest
for the regular interstate series of oratoricals
and Iowa will be represented by prominent STU
dents, several of whom have won local promi-
hence in debate and oratory Three of the six con-
contest for the state honors will spend the sum-
mer with the Prohibition committee and large
number of local contestants have signed up for the
work. New York, Illinois and Michigan will
doubtless be represented by prominent students

THE NATIONAL PRoH1B1T1oN1sT


Promptly at nine o'clock this morning the final
session of the convention was called to order
and the remaining business taken up The fore
noon was chiefly occupied with the adoption of
the platform and the selection of Slate to be
suggested to the Prohbitonists in the August
primary election.
The committee platform had been hard at
work. but the statesmanlike document which they
presented and which will be found in The Ma
tiondl ProhibitioniSt, understood to be largely
the work of Mr.. Eugene w. Chafin Mr.. Chafin
admitted that it was the fruit of his labor and
meditations "since January" Very fittingly Mr..
Chafin was selected to present the report and no
speech of the convention called forth ap-
plause or aroused more enthusiasm than the read
ing of the proposed platform. With the exception
of brief amendment presented by Miss Brehm,
adding the sentence with regard to child labor
to the plank upon labor and capital, the platform
was adopted by reclamation and a whole.
Then came the question of the slate and the first
material difference of opinion in the convention
was visible for few moments. A considerable
number of those present, acting in harmony with
what was understood to be the wish of the state
committee desired to submit to the voters of the
party only one name for candidate for governor.
These people had selected Mr.. Eugene w. Chaffin
for that service. On the other hand, consider
able number, and, as it proved, majority of
the delegates present, including many of Mr..
Chafins warmest friends, believed that the spirit
of the primary law would be violated by such
procedure and urged that at least one more name
be placed upon the ballot. The matter was finally
decided by the selection of Mr. Chafin and the
Hon. Dan R. Sheen of Peoria. The remainder
of the primary ticket was rapidly made and the
whole Slate reads:
Governor-E W. CHAF1N, Chicago; DAN R.
SHEEN Peoria
Lieutenant Governor-W A. BRUBAKER, Chi
cago; JACOB HooFsTITTLER Sterling.
Secretary of State-H A. DUBOIS, Union Coun-

Attorney General-FRANK S. REGAIN, Rockford;

Treasurer-A. S. SPAULDING, Springfield L. A.

This brought the work of the convention to
close and while some workers conferences are in
progress in the convention hall this afternoon, by
far the greater part of the multitude who have
been here their way to their homes scat
tered from the Wisconsin line to Cairo, to take

When a woman is household
drudge. who has time. neither to ill
prove her mind or her body, it were
well for her to ask the reason OF II.
Often it will be found to be caused by
lack of system. The necessary duties
of the house are done just any time
instead of on regular days. In conse-
quence, sometimes they are crowded out
entirely. ut others are done under such
a feeling of pressure as to become
burden. 1t is as important to live on
schedule in ones domestic arrangements
as if it were another persons business
which must be managed.
Many women feel themselves drudges
because they attempt a scale of living
beyond their resources. While every
enc wants as dainty appointments and
service as possible, when that can be
had only at the expense of nerves and
brain development, it is we'll to live
more simply. If you find you cannot
get through your days work comfort
ably without being tied down unduly,
simplify your work in every possible
way. Have less elaborate meals. The
change will save not your time alone,
but your money and your family diges-
tions. Buy all the labor-saving appli-
ances that can be had. 1t will be found
to be economy in the end, though the
first bills may be rather staggering.
Often the drudgery may be caused
by not getting up early enough in the
morning. A late breakfast keeps every
one in drag all day. 1t is not hard
ship to get up early If the habit is once
formed. indeed you will soon get to
enjoy it. If you, can save enough time
off this end of the day to snatch half
hours rest after the MONDAY meal,
it will mean much more real rest.
When you know you are drudge,
steal the time to get a little reading
done each day, even If desserts are oc-
casionally missing or the baby does not
have handmade slips. If it be only
fifteen minutes it will give you a new
grip on life. and make the inevitable
wrestling with three meals and dish
washing more endurable

Gasoline for washing.

Too many people tell of their failure
in gasoline washing. In nine cases out
of ten, the reason is that too little gaso-
line is used. If you wash with water.
you usually take good basinful or
pailful, but, when you wash with gaso-
line, you are apt to put n cupful into
a generous-sized pail. This, of course.
IS just enough to stir UP the dirt and
to distribute it in gray tone all over
the lace. gloves or what not to be
cleaned. Take generous bOwlful of
gasoline and wash your gloves, laces,
wells. neckwear, ribbons and silken ac-
cessories; then rinse them in plenty of
clean gasoline. After using, If you will
let the gasoline stand for a few mo-
ments, all the dirt will settle and you
can carefully pour off the clean gaso.
line to use at another operation. To
clean gloves, put them on the hands
and scrub with a little brush, after
ward rinsing them like a pocket hand
kerchief. Silk washed In gasoline loses
none of its dressing; feathers lose none
of their curl; plaitings stay plated.
Never, of course, use gasoline In Il
room where there is burning stove or
where the gas is lighted.
