Helping Mother.

Girls, what are you doing to help
your mothers? There are many house
holds where the older girls might as
sumo a large share OF the burdens of
housekeeping and tighten in many
ways the labor of the overtaxed moth
ers. 1t seems as II the young girls
of the present day-and Hickman has
several OF them-are almost too much
absorbed In becoming accomplished
parlor ornaments to descend to any
thing so mental as cleaning up a
room. making beds and arranging Ia
BILE. and yet what more useful knowl-
edge could be attained or what ac-
complishment could be so admired In
any girl as the desire and willingness
to tighten a poor mothers cares and
tolls? Many a young woman sits and
reads Tennyson, or spends hours at
her piano or organ or painting, while
her mother is doing the entire work
OF the family. There is a time for all
things; Tennyson. music and art are
very good In their place and we would
not have you suppose we desire you
TO do otherwise than enjoy them, but
help mother first.

A mothers love consists OF all the
higher elements OF the different kinds
OF love. but she has two qualities no
other love has-usefulness and I'M
changeableness-w which makes IL to
us the most precious OF all love.
There is no need to spur the Ameri.
can housewife to greater exertion on
behalf of her family. What she needs
is curb to restrain her often over
ambitious. overstrained sense OF duty
She aims for too great perfection In
some lines. and usually succeeds ad-
mirably in her intent. But at what
a cost! with what a friction OF nerves
with what a waste of vital force.
We believe there would be more
frugality in the homes II men woulo
give their wives a reasonable amount
Of money for household expenses
and let them have all they can save
out OF IL for their own use; men. too.
would be better off than In the un-
methodical and haphazard way In
which most homes are run. Women
would be more apt to study kitchen
economy II they could see a reward
ahead. A nation OF thrifty men can.
not be born of thriftless mothers.
Women have need 10 know more of
business. and think more OF means TO
ends than is usual among them.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.--Drastic
measures we're today being consid-
cred by the Perkins special committee
of the House, appointed to recommend
to the House some action in defense
of the body in reply to the criticism
made by the President in his annual
message in referring to the secret
service legislation of last year.
After a meeting of that committee
today a report that the committee
would recommend to the Houes that
that portion of the annual message
referring to the secret service be ex-
plunged from the record. Another re-
port was that the recent message in
reply to the request of the House for
more information to the Chief Execu-
tive. Neither report could be con-
firmed, as members of the committee
refused to discuss the probable action. |
A report probably will be agreed |
upon by the committee at meeting |
tomorrow, but Chairman Perkins said
today that no report would be submit
ted tomorrow. It is believed the
House will be called upon to take
action Thursday, or by the end of the
week, at latest.

report of the committee is brought
