TO PREVENT soULDERs :

You can understand then, how particu-
lar a mother should be about the Sleep
ing ARRANGEMENTS for her child. A high
pillow actually makes round shoulders;
it trains the head To tilt forward and
the neck to maintain permanent
dropped look. An adult, by width of
shoulder. needs a pillow, but not
high one, to keep the head on line with
the body. Without pillow the head
would fall sidewise. Try it. But
childs shoulders ara so narrow that if
the head is raised at all it will be raised
too far. No pillow is best, for the head
remains straight, and the shoulders
touch the mattress on either side, al
lowing total relaxation and chest ex-
pansion. If the child sleeps thus in
room with windows open and fresh air
freely circulating the most anxious
mother need feel little apprehension in
regard to possible lung affection. An
erect carriage and plenty of fresh air
insure healtht.

Soft Shelled Eggs.

Often soft shelled eggs are found
and a few individual hens will persist
in laying this kind and the owner of
the flock is at loss to know the
cause of the malformatiOn. Several
things will cause hen to lay soft
shelled eggs. but the main one is the
lack of egg-forming material. Excess
sive fat is also one of the reasons 1t
is also a fact that only old hens, after
the second year. lay this kind and pull
lets never do, since older hens have
greater tendency to fatten than young
er ones.
To prevent old hens from laying soft
shelled eggs the first thing to do is to
furnish them with plenty of grit and
shells, to furnish the substances for the
egg shell. Some of the poultry feeds
are rich in lime, and among the num-
Der clover is the best, the greater pro-
portion of lime being in the leaves of
the clover After furnishing the hens
with the right kind of feed for the
foration of the entire egg, Including
the shell, the next thing to do is to
make conditions such that the hens
will secure an abundance of exercise in
securing the feed The open range is
good for this when the weather IS fit
When the weather is bad so that the
hens can not gain exercise in foragGng
the feed should be scattered in litter
so that they shall be compelled to
scratch for it. The productive laying
hen must not be fat and plenty OF ex-
ercise will prevent her from becoming
so and will promote egg laying. For
high egg production keep the hens ac-
tive; for fattening them for market
keep them as inactive as possible

Simple Rules.

Children should never take their seats

any purpose during the course of the
until he either has left the room or re-
taken his place.
With such training as this. Difference
and respect will become almost in
stinctive and children will acquire the
ease of manner that habit gives
Difference is due from parent to child
Susan should be served at table before
Johnnie; if, by mistake, he is served
first. he should instinctively see that
his sister receives his portion. Men are

ME may learn the lesson very early in
life. The same strict rules should ais
ways apply to nursery guests. Hospi-
tally should be early learned by baby
hearts Such training goes to strength
en- the foundation on which kindly
character is built
Some people will protest at this point
that beys and girls brought up with
such consideration for polite usage
would surely turn out to be nothing but
mollycoddles, that they would be the
laughing stock of the neighborhood
Priggishness is not necessarily i'm

the elements of chivalry and girls who
have been trained to maintain their
position and to demand courtesy from
the boys in the nursery will be respect

Where Women Vote.

LEADVILLE, Col, Sept. Beauty
and brains are both much in evidence
in Leadville today, owing to the pres
ence in the city of the fair delegates
to the state convention of the Colorado
Federation of Women's clubs. The
sessions will continue through the fol-
lowing three days. 1t is expected that
the use made of the right of suffrage
by the women voters of Colorado,
which has been the subject of much
criticism by mere male investigators,
will be defended and upheld by the suf-
fragists of the federation.

will take his troubles with man
like reserve.
The well-mannered boy is he who
has learned patience by waiting at
the table till mother and father are
seated: by waiting quietly to be served
at the right time; by waiting for the
first mouthful until mother has be-
gun TO eat. He is not the boy who
makes the callers life a burden by
unexpected tricks, nor is he the boy
who disturbs the pleasure of the visit
nv rushing in to ask mother a ques-
ton. After even year OF the rigid
rules have suggested Johnnie will not
offend by being carelessly oblivious OF
the presence of any older person. and
his manners will have become a part
of him.
If Susan has learned Difference for
mother and father she will never
grumble at being asked to help in the
Homework or run errands. She will
not Whimper or interrupt, and her
self control will develop into ease of
manner and self possession
Surface manners may be condemned
and true worfhineSs considered the
ONLY essential, but the diamond in the
rough would be far more desirable
were it polished. So why not apply
the same principle to the children?

EVENING


Everything that goes wrong in a
household need not necessarily be some
enes fault"
Mothers sometimes have a way of
thinking that any hitch in the domestic
machinery must be blamed on some one
and children very naturally resent
blame of things that are at worst only
accidents. and seek to lay it on some
one else.
1T isn't my fault the toast is burned
says Ruth. It's Johns, because he left
the outside door open and had to go
shut it,
My fault" says John Indignantly.
Guess not. left that door open be-
cause / didn't have any hands 10 shut

for? You know if l hadn't given them
TO you and lit out after that dog he'd

Accidents and inconvenience and
discomforts are often no ones fault"
at all, but simply the result of a COM
bination Of circumstances. If every one
in a family would realize this and not

With the Small Farmer
Hints To Poultry RaiserS

!: The summer laying setson ought to
be we'll over, and as soon as eggs reach
the lowest notch and fowls are ready
, to enter the moulting season We can
turn our attention to wedding out all
the supertluous hens and cocks, as We
shall want their room for the growing
stock. The hens that still look sleek
and trim are the ones that are not yet
making preparations to moult and will
be the ones, generally speaking to
select for market they will be SO late
about the moulting process as to be of
little use as winter layers. Therefore
if they are not especially valuable to
keep over for breeders. cut them out
| for sale. Include the cocks as well.
Fowls that all summer have been in
thrifty laying condition are not fat
enough for market, and to sell them
as they are would. be waste of good
! material. Better confine them and fat.

goodly profit may be made, as each
| fowl will put on from one to five
pounds. Any and all kinds of surplus
vegetables may be cooked or chopped
and mixed with meal and fed to the
fowls. 1t is more satisfactory to pen
them rather closely and stuff them than
/ to feed a light ration. This makes
! tender, juicy flesh, and it takes less
feed in the long run. Meal or cracked
corn is the best fattending feed, and it
may be mixed with milk if you like

water they can drink and little green
food to keep up vigorous appetite.
! In feeding a mash, feed only what
| they will eat up clean each time and
then give several feeds a day They
will eat more when thus fed But
! there should always be some whole or
cracked corn left in the coops at
night so they may get it early in the
morning, as fowls are early risers and
will fret for feed if it is not at hand
and worrying always retards the fat
tening process. 1t is best also to give
the last night feed as late as possible
SO they may go to bed with full crops
For the same reason they should be free

fatten the young birds with the old If
| you have a few young fowls to fatten
at the same time, give them a separate
| inclosure, feeding much the same ra-
ton. Old and young fowls never do

is no quicker way to convert food into
money than to put it in chicken flesh.
AS long as you have the carcasses to
dispose of why not put little extra

stock early: then give the extra room

A plea for Manners.

Good manners are intuitive. Ease
of manner, self possession, uncon-
seriousness are the heritage of the we'll
born. Ordinary politeness should be
involuntary, but family manners may
he improved. and there is not cause for
great encouragement if the good work
be begun at an early age.
1t should take no conscious thought
to make a man open door for a Wo-
man to pass. That is commonly ac-
cepted as the proper and polite thing
for him TO do. A man should not think
twice before stopping to recover purse
or handkerchief let fall by a woman,
even if she be a stranger.
To make these little everyday polite
nesses involuntary they should be
taught to children while they are still
young John and Susan should both
rise when mother comes into the room.
and, unless she tells them to sit down,
they should remain on their feet until
she herself sits down.
This is rather a hard rule to follow
if John is on the nursery floor with his
toys and Susan is putting her doll to
sleep In the nursery such rules might
be relaxed, for mother usually goes in
and out many times during every hour;
but when the children are In the draw
ing room or dining room the rule should
be rightly enforced, not only in regard
to mother. but in respect to any older
