Courtesy at Home.

Good breeding, like charity, should
begin at home. The day is past when
children used to rise when their par
entS entered the room where they
were and stand until they had receiv-
ed permission to sit. But the mis-.
take is now made usually in the other
direction in allowing to small boys
and girls too much license to disturb
the peace Of the household. We
think the best way to train children
in courtesy would be to observe to-
ward them ScrupulOus pOliteness. We
would 90 SO far as to say that we
should make it as much a point to
listen to children without interrupt
ing them and to answer them sincere
~ and respectfully as ii they were
grown up. And, indeed. many Of
their wise, quaint sayings are far
better worth listening to than the
stere0typed commonplace Of the
morning callers. OF course, to allow
uninterrupted chatter would be to
surrender the repOSe of the household,
but it is very easy, if children are
themselves Sc%rupulOuSly respected, to
teach them in turn ~Scrupulously to
respect the convenience Of others, and
tc know when to talk and when to be
silent.
II a child is brought up in the con.
slant exercise OF courtesy toward
brothers and sisters and playmates,
as we'll as toward parents and uncleS
and aunts, it will have little left to
learn as 1T grows older.
The best brought up ia mily of chill
dren we wei knew were educated on
the principle of always commencing
them when it was possible to do So,
and letting silence be the reproof OF
any wrong doing which was not really
serious. We have heard the children
of this household, when their mother
had failed to say any word of COM
mendation after some social occasion,
ask as anxiously as possible, What
was it, mamma? / know something
was wrong. Didn't We treat the other
children well, or were we too nOiSy?,'
In that house reproOf was never be-
slowed unsought-only commenda-
ton, of whatever it was possible to
commend, va gratuitOus.
We think this system won be as
good for those grown-up children, the
husbands and wives, as for those still
in the nursery.

HIDDEN
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That No
Grenada Citizen Can Afford TO Ignore.

Danger Signal No. l comes from
the kidney secretion. They will
warn you when the kidneys are sick.
Well kidneys excrete a clear, amber
fluid. Sick kidneys send out a thin,
pale and foamy, or a thick, red, ill.,
smelling urine, full of sediment and
irregular Of passage.
Danger Signal No. ? comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and
heavy, or sharp and acute, tell you Of
sick kidneys and warn you Of the ap-
preach Of dropsy, diabetes and
bright's disease. Doan'S Kidney Pills
cure sick kidneys and cure them per.
manently. Here's Grenada proof
S. 3. Pipkin, farmer, living South
side of Square, Grenada, Miss, says:
About a year ago l used Doan'S Kid
Kidney Pills and their curative pow
ers was greatly demonstrated. At
that time l was bothered a great deal
| by disOrdered kidneys. The secre-
lions from those organs were quite
unnatural in appearance and if allow
ed to stand for any time, deposited a
heavy brick dust sediment. Doan s
Kidney Pills which | procured at
Hughes drug store, benefited me in
every way and corrected all fault
with the kidneys. At times since
when | have noticed the least return
Of the trouble, l have taken a dose or
two of Doan's Kidney Pills and they
have always promptly relieved me.
l feel confident in saying that there
is no kidney remedy that can equal
them"

Why Korean Churches Grow.

One reason why church membership
does not mean more to some is be
cause there are so few requirements
in order TO become a member The
spirit OF self-sacrifice and personal eff
fort are seldom emphasized In Korea
no convert expects to come into the
church until he has brought another
convert with him. What a reforma.
ton it would work in this country II
the churches here would adopt this
plan. The membership OF the church
in Seoul. Korea, has quadrupled in q
year. There they pledge subscriptions
Of time instead Of money. Whatever
time a member pledges. he gives vi
his business and devotes all his tim,
in leading people to Christ One mar
pledged three months. All pay then
own expenses. Under this plan there
are so many converts that all the time
OF the missionaries is given to train
ing the converts. The churches In
Korea gain from 50 to Zoe per cent. in
membership every year. One man has
baptized over thousand persons.

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.

II is not only important TO know
how to cook. but II Is equally impor'
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea Is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer-
est feck OF dirt can be seen; that the
shecrest cobweb can be brushed
away: that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. It is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put a wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in il. or sour
milk in it IL mixed with cold water.

Kitchen walls TO be thoroughly sat
