HELPMATES OF MOTHERS
Girls Should Begin Early to Take Upon
Themselves Little Duties.

A girl should begin early to take
upon herself little duties to relieve her
mother. What these are must be de-
cided by circumstances.
If there are few servants. perhaps Il
is the care Of her own room. or dust
ing the living room and seeing that old
papers are removed. that lamps burn
brightly and magazines are placed
neatly in overlapping piles on the
table.
Or she can do the cake baking for
the family Even the schoolgirl will
not find this too much Of a task. II
she gets up early Saturday morning
the cake can be baked and put away
soon after breakfast.
A girl of 13 who saw her mother
starting wearily to bake the Sunday
cake begged hard to do II in her place
The mother had bad headache and
consented, fearing a failure In spite
of careful instructions. The jelly cake
was such n success that the daughter
has been the cake baker ever since.
taking pride in trying new recipes and
novel icings that the busy mother
could not attempt.
In families where such things are
done by maids the daughter can take
upon herself the duty Of a last look at
the table before meals. which many
careful housewives insist upon even
with well-trained servants.
or hers can be pleasant work OF ar
ranging flowers. seeing that the vases
are filled. that there is fresh water In
the jardinieres and that stems are cut
each morning.
II money Is not plenty she can exer-
else her wits contriving artistic ar
rangements that cost little. Thus
charming effects can be had with
leaves Of different colors and shapes,
grouped in a low glass or brass bowl.
Ferns and ivy or other vines can be
picked up on rambles through the
woods and made to brighten the
meals. Wild flowers I'm these days 1f
trolleys are easy 10 find from April TO
October and decorate delightfully."-.
or the daughter can take on her the
family darnng or mendlng which Is
such a burden to mothers after long
years Of It. She can even sec that tho
clothes comes from the wash, are
counted and put away.
When still a schoolgirl there may
not be time for many duties. but evea
one task carefully done. without grum-
bling. makes life easier and happier

Something Is wrong with a mans
liver when he attempts to force a
brand of religion down the Threats
of humanity that offers no benefits
until one is dead. The world needs
genuine religion, something that
brightens the pathway of life and
makes more beautiful the road to
the Observation-Disclosures Enter
prise. Fossilized religion that requir-
es one to wait until death comes to
be materially benefited, is bound to
be a failure. In its stead will come
practical, sensible religion, that
will have to do with mans physical
and mental betterment here on
earth, believing that the hereafter is
a state of progression. You can't
make man believe you have real
interest in him if you let him starve
while you are extolling the beauties
of heaven and the sweet melodies of
angels playing on golden harps, sit
ting upon thrones of purest gold.
Religion must be practical, and in
terest itself with the every day af-
fairs of men and women as human
beings.-Cleburne Enterprise.

Says the Cleburne Enterprise:
Governor Campbell said in his
speech at Terrell. Texas, speaking on
the anti-pass law, that, The Inter-
ests'' have sought to use this act of
the legislature to prejudice the
weekly newspapers against my ad-
ministration, and against the legisla-
ture, and all of its work" The gov
ernor seems to attribute to the press
of Texas. very little capacity to do
their own thinking. The Interests, -
never sought TO influence the Enter
prise upon any question of public
policy. The editor made up his mind
a long time ago that the governor
failed to tote fair" with the country
press of the state when he let the
thirtieth Legislature insert that para
graph in it, which prevented them
from contracting for advertising to
be paid in transportation. The Enter
prise believes that this law will eth
er be amended or else it will eventu-
ally be declared unconstitutional
Down in his heart the governor
knows that the newspapers of Texas
have grievance, and THE Inter
ests" have nothing whatever to do
with their criticisms of the governor
he so@l x2,1a
Interests sounds good to tell the
farmers, but they are too wise to be
fooled much. The papers may all be
wrong. but they are sincere"
