servation and careful practice The
broad sound, ah, is not an affectation,
but is the accepted custom among the
best speakers. The words after, past,
half, calm, aunt and laugh may be men
toned as among those with the all
sound.
1t is correct to pronounce Tuesday,
stupid, new and duty with the II sound,
not Toosday, stoopid, MOO or dooty.
Errors in grammar should be very
carefully watched and corrected. A
great mistake is to say "He says" for
He said or, st is me" instead of TT
is ]" or, MARY and me are going" in
stead of MARY and I are going" or,
"There's plenty of things to do" in
stead of "'rhere are plenty of things to
do"

Errors in Forms
Exaggerated terms are too frequently
used and are not in good taste, such as
a1pfnlly nice, aa0fully pretty, beastiy
aoeather, perfectly splendid, etc.
Recently when reading new and very
popular novel, I noticed a succession Of
errors in good form in the talk between
two OF the leading characters In nearly
every sentence the name was introduced
OF the person addressed Whether the
talk was light or casual, serious or emo
tional, there was running accompani-
ment of, "Mr. So-and- So" or, Miss So
and So" In the first chapter the name
OF the. man to whom she was speaking
came fourteen times from the lips of the
fair heroine; in another chapter the
name was repeated twenty times. This
error on the part of the was as
tonishing and ludicrous in Ms continual
J repetition

pass 1t is long, long ordeal, lasting
from before birth until the years of dis
cretion have been reached by the child,
and there are no periods of immunity.
Unceasing watchfulness is the keynote
of good motherhood.
Selhshness, we are told frequently, is
the dominating influence of our time.
Motherhood admits of nothing of the
kind. Always the child should be the
first consideration, both on the part of
the mother and of the father. There
will be encouragement without num-
Der, obstacles innumerable Always
there will be opposing influences to
overcome; but no battle can be won
save through fighting, and those who
would reap victory in having brought
into the world a man OF a woman OF
whom they may be justly proud, must
struggle increasingly. The peace of old
age will be all the sweeter.
Mother-love the Greatest Force
During all my fight against adversely,
which lasted until my coming to Amer
lea in I8o8-only eleven years ago-I had
to provide for a large family of chill
dren. My point of view, therefore, is
not that of the care-free woman whose
material wants are amply provided for.
Many times has the task of feeding
clothing and educating my boys and girls
seemed beyond my power, and fire.
quently was a continuation of the
struggle despaired of
| knew that | owed to my children
the very best that | could give them in
every way / dreaded to contemplate
that they should have to go into the
great world handicapped in any manner.
While, perhaps, | did not realize it at
the time, know now that it was the
motherlove in me that spurred me on
to work and plan, to strive onward and
upward through all those years.
Mother-love is, to my mind, born with
the child. Unfortunately there are cases
in which it dies from lack of nourish-
ment, or is superseded by simple affec-
ton through being choked by the weeds
of selhshness, distrust and ill-temper.
So many mothers who have loved their
babies come only to care for" their
boys and girls.
And SO many parents who have exer-
cised all the unse1fshness their natures
were capable of in behalf of their boys
and girls, have grown careless in their
attention to the welfare of the youths
and maidens of their families Con-
trary to general opinion though it may
be, hold that there is no dangerous
age" of children. From the time baby
is born until the young man or woman
gains full knowledge of the world and
the ability to think for himself or her
self, and to think rightly, all ages are
dangerous. s

My Own Experience

But to return to my own story: Be-
fore | came to America all my children
had been under my constant personal
care. believed my duty lay that way,
and have never had reason to change
my opinion. Naturally my burden was
considerable one, for l was a busy
woman and my family was large Still
l did think then, and l do think now,
that the natural duties of mother can
not be delegated to another without dis
astrous results.
1t was this belief that caused me to
nurse my own children always, even
when playing an operate engagement.
Many times my baby has been in my
dressing-room waiting for me while l
have been responding to an encore.

THE SEVEN
PLAQUES OF EGYPT
NOT EQUAL TO THE TORTURES
OF CANCER, THE MOST TER
RlBLE DISEASE KNOWN.
WHAT A SPECIALIST is DEMON
STRATING AS 70 ITS
CURE.

Cancer, of all the diseases that
ever afflicted mankind, cancer is the
worst. Talk of the Seven Plaques OF
Egypt; why, if Moses had only
sprung cancer on Pharaoh himself,
instead of the seven plaques on his
people, Moses would have needed an
other affliction to bring Pharaoh to
time and the Israelites would have
been free at once
There are many other diseases,
howev r. that are not so deadly, but
lust as serious in the result. For eX-
ample, nervous debility in men, neu-
rasthenia in women frequently termi-
mating into insanity, which to many
1eople is worse than death A
noted physician of the state, how
ever, discovered a treatment that
cures these diseases and reported at
various times hundreds of cures.
The doctor in question is none 9TH
er than DR.. Charest. a physician we'll
known throughout he northwest, not
only for the cure of nervous diseases
but also for the cure of other chonic,
deep seated and lingering diseases.
DR.. Charest is entitled to the credit
of hundreds and even thousands of
cases.
He being a specialist OF much abil-
ity along the line of general medium
and in the treatment of special chron-
ic diseases, is especially prepared to
cure them, even when they had fall
ed to obtain relief from any other
source
We herewith publish a few names
of people he has cured.
Chas. Cop, New Home, was cured
Of tumors of the nose (polipi) without
cutting, after two operations had
been performed, nearly bleeding to
death at the last one. DR.. Charest
cured him by healing the catarrh,
which was the cause of the trouble.
Martha Dale, Leeds, cured of new
rasthenia and heart trouble that II
doctors had failed to even relieve.
Jay Fauzael, Mandan, cured of heart
trouble that made it impossible for
him to work at anything.
H. Thompson of Grafton, cured OF
dyspepsia Of many years standing,
which scrne doctors had treated for
cancer OF the stomach. DR., Charest'
treatment cured him entirely. I'M
provement was noticed in the first
week.
Ida Kissome of Minot, cured of a
persistent headache that had made
her lie miserable for many years.
Mrs. Devorc of Dawson, cured of
chronic bilious headache with vom-
iting She lad suffered for twenty
years and mad tried many doctors.
Herman FIeeberg CT Fargo, cured
of sciatic rheumatism that had kept
him tied to his bed for more than a
year.
Otto Peterson of Darlington, cured
of eczema and scrofula.
Agnes Komb, of Anamoose, cured of
female weakness and enlargement Of
the tubercular glands-other doctors
had operated on her without success.
%. Larson, LaMoure, cured of dys-
pepsia and intestinal catarrh. He
says, ''Dr. Charest, you have done
more for me in a month than the
eleven physicians / have treated with
in the last nine years."
WnA- Bayler, Bismarck, cured Of
rheumatism; had suffered pains in all
the joints and muscles of his body
tor many years; could hardly walk
alone-is now entirely we'll.
Why is it that Dr. Charest per-
forms such wonderful cures? The an

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

A day should be selected to look
after all odds and ends of work
which have been left undOne. It is
a great relief to feel that all the lit
tie things are done.
Keep a bowl Of oatmeal on the
washstand, and after washing the
hands, dry them in the meal. The
skin will be kept white and smooth
and less liable to chap by this pro-
cess.
Colored- bordered towels and table
linens should not be washed nor
boiled with a strong alkaline soap
nor with any of the washing pow
ders on compounds in the market.
All these substances start the colors.
When not in use a parasol should
be be kept in cambria bag with a
drawstring, by which it should be
hung. In this way it will keep
much better than when laid away
or wrapped i'll a tightly fitting cover.
Kid gloves last ever so much
longer if the wrinkles are carefully
smoothed out and they are proper
ly folded and laid out in long box
each time they are worn. 1t is a
verv little trouble and soon becomes
a habit.
The best cleanser for sponges is a
strong solution of borax, in the pro-
portion of tablespoonful to pint
of hot water. 1t will not only
thoroly cleanse the sponge, but dis
infect it, destroying all germs and
parasites.

While the average American is a
g ,od deal Of a party man there is
with him a spirit Of fairness that
m lkes him tolerant of and to have
respect for the opinions of others.
To be sure this spirit may some
times be temporarily hidden during
the heat of some political campaign
but nevertheless it exists and once
the contest is over it displays itself.
This is happily seen, as rule, at
the Inauguration of a new president.
Political friends and foes unite in
giving due honor and in wishing
successful term. This by no means
indicates sacrifice of the party
principle, which may be as keen as
ever. Rather does it show that first
of all Il man is an American and
that as loyal and intelligent
American he recognizes that as
rule the men elected to office, what
ever their political faith, are patriots
sincerity DESTROYS of advancing the
best interests of the country. It is
this spirit which 50 largely helps
the nation to move on unruffled and
in conscious strength whatever
changes in administration may oc-
cur.

A DISAPPOINTING DECISION

The decision of the United States
District Court at Kansas City relat-
i've to the two cent passenger fare
in Missouri will probably reopen the
whole question of passenger and
freight rates in number Of states
that have reduced them within the
last few years. The decision comes
as a shock and disappointment to
the public generally, which had
supposed the question settled, and
all the more as only a few weeks
ago the returns of the larger roads
in Missouri showed largely lncreas-
ed earnings under the two cent rate.
Whatever the immediate result of
Judge Mcpherson's decision it is
clear that the end is not yet, and
that the legislatures may be trusted
to guard the interests of the public
without unjustly dealing with rail-
roads OF any other corporations.

To cleanse black cashmere wash

! To cleanse black cashmere wash
the material i'm warm soap suds in
which a little borax has been pre-
viously dissolved. Rinse in very
deep blue water and iron while still
damp. If carefully done the ma
terial should look just like new.
Persons who are suffering with
perspiring feet will find great relief
if they wash their feet every night
with warm vinegar and water for
several minutes at a time. Then
dust the feet with a powder of one
part salicylic acid to eight of tai
cum.
Have plenty of towels and of
good size. Nothing is more aggra
waiting than small bit of a towel
that is wet before one side of the
face is wiped dry. Turkish towels
are excellent and are much liked by
some for toiled purposes as well as
for bath towels.
Light colored and white silk
waists become dirty almost at the
first wearing, and if one were to
send the waist to the cleaners every
time it was soiled the bill would be
quite an item at the end of the
month. Waists, especially white
ones, can be washed satisfactorily
at home if the work is carefully
done. Make a good suds of white
soap, borax and warm water, and
place the waist in the suds and let
it soak for Is minutes. After the
waist has soaked for some time it
should be lifted up and down in the
water, and the soiled places should
be rubbed gently with the hands.
When the waist is perfectly clean
the water should be squeezed out of
it, and it should be rinsed in sever
al cold waters. In the last rinsing
water little borax and piece of
starch, the size of a walnut, to
gallon of water should be put.
When the waist has been rinsed for
the last time as much water should
be squeezed. out of it as possible,
but the waist should not be wrung
out. Hang the waist up until it
dries a little, and then roll it up in
the clean cloth until it is nearly
dry, and then iron it. 1t should be
ironed on the wrong side with a
warm, not hot, iron.
The waist should never be allow
ed to become perfectly dry before
ironing it; for it will not iron as
nicely if it has to be sprinkled as it
will if ironed before it has become
dry.
Many of the little bow ties that
are worn are made plain except that
the edges of the bows instead of be-
ing hemmed are worked in button
hole stitch in mercerized cotton
thread. They may be trimmed with
eyelets of French knots. The latter
make a pleasing finish for the ends
of the bows. The edge of the bow
might be scalloped and worked in
buttonhole stitch in delft blue mer-
ceriZed cotton and inside each seal
lop a dot may be worked. Other
jabots and bows are charming if lace
and insertion are combined with
dainty bits of lawn and nainsook.
Not many people know that MAIN
SOCK can be used in the manu-
facture of these dainty little access
cries, but it embroiders beautifully
and will always look we'll because it
launders 50 well.
The bows may be made any shape
and any size, although it will be
wise not to make them too large,
and they may be made in one piece
and pinched together in the middle.
