Training of Children

Editor Social Corner:-The Courier has been a welcome visitor in my home for forty years, and I anticipate con- siderable pleasure as we'll as profit reading the letters of the Social club.
 I would like to say a few words about training children in the home. We all know that it is a great re- sponsibility to train alright the little hearts that will bring us happiness or sorrow. Everyone wishes to see their children become honorable and re- spected men and women. The first requisite is to set them a good exam pie, as children are very initiative and influenced by their surroundings. The three most important things to teach them are honesty, truthfulness and manners. It is an old and true saying that "If a child does not behave at home, it will not abroad" One can not begin too young with the boys to teach them to be honest and truthful. If a parent detects child in a lie or stealing. they should talk and reason with the child, and perhaps that would be sufficient; if not they should be punished, even severely, which would be far better than to have them grow up dishonest and help fill the public reformatories. God has appointed reformer in every parent, who should use corrective rights to teach children to obey. In these days people seem to forget the teachings of the Bible, which says: Spare the rod and spoil the child"

saw together before. I tried to count them, but could not. They must have just dropped there and were picking around as if hungry. They make nests all about here every summer and are very welcome, I never saw so few birds in winter as have the past win ter.
 Someone has complained that cats kill off the birds. do not think that farmers keep as many cats as do peo- pie in town yet some have from five to seven. We must have one or two to keep rats and mice away. Of course, it is natural for cats to kill birds, and if they are allowed to kill birds will also kill chickens. and all one has to do is, to teach a kitten while it is growing that birds and chickens they must not touch, and it does not take them long to learn the lesson.
 I think boys with their pistols kill many more birds than do cats; and parents do wrong to give their boys such weapons and allow them to go out in the country and shoot right and left at everything that comes in their way. If they can find no other game they shoot the innocent birds which are the farmers best friend. There are altogether too many licenses granted. Perhaps the farmers will awaken soon and protest against it.

They are certainly interested in most of the domestic questions at issue What many women are ambi- tious to have is a dirtless house and a faultless husband, and wish it were nossible for them to get the combina- ton. few want a house full of serv- ants and a husband full of smiles. This is another impossible conlbina- tion. A lot of men want a woman who can patiently abide their impatisnce store on their account; and too many women try to fill this bill, but they never win applause. There are just as fnconsiderate husbands, confess; and it is because we insist on partners abiding by our ideals instead of their own that there is so much domestic trouble. Some day. perhaps, both sexes will become more rational

Editor Social Corner: am sending some recipes for buns and cakes of which I hope will be of use to the readers of the Corner. I don't want any of the sisters to be backward about asking me for any recipe in the pastry line they want

Editor Social Corner:-This new de- partment appears to me to be full of promise, for it has begun in the right way and must grow better as the in- ed in the letters of l.. M Bach with reference to starting seeds and of Anna Laura's success with small patch of land for a garden. Her sue cess was wonderful and she must have noticed some physical benefits as the result of her open-air exercise. The little garden is a summer delight, and it is surprising how many families let land go to waste which would yield food and flowers for a small outlay of money and work. Lettuce and string beans are easily grown.

Ready ReneelIes.

Editor Social Corner: Dear moth CTS. I thought if your children were bothered with earache or toothache, these remedies would help them:
 For earache: Two drams of olive or sweet oil; 1 dram of laudanum; warm five or six drops on a spoon and place in canal of the ear. Repeat in two hours If relief does not imme- diately come.
 For toothace: Collodion and pure carbofic acid; mix three or four drops of each together. and apply to cavity of the tooth. (Something to be care full abouD.
 For an ordinary cold: Two ounces fluid extract of catnip; 1 1-2 punches of saffron. mix and take on teaspoon full every three hours; bathe and mas sage the throat with cold water; and gargle the throat three times a day with little listerine.

? Simplicity in Living.

Editor Social Corner: I would like to enter plea for simplicity in liv- ing-for the real, the genuine. in pla Ice of so much that is artificial in life. Someone has said q think 1t was Rus kinD that "only the real is beautiful," and yet people go on, many of them living the artificial, choosing their friends because of social position or financial standing. instead of culture or character One grows tired of the everlasting copying after others which we see about us, for instance, those whose means are very limited consider it duty, apparently, to do a certain amount of so-cailed entertaining be- cause someone else does Isn't 1t time that we live our own lives regardless of the unimportant rules and customs of so-called society-choosing that which is best and most helpful and el- evating-thus living to some purpose?
 I believe the reason for so many apparently useless or hap-ha gard lives Is the lack of a high standard-the courage to do what is right regardless of the customs of others: and right here I would say a few words in de- nunciation of those who either thoughtlessly or maliciously islander others. I believe that a man or wo- man who indulges in this base pastime should be ostracized by cultured peo- ple- This practice has been credited mostly to women. which accusation may be true to a great extent. plan to abolish this practice is certainly a noble and worthy field of endeavor Let us help on the good cause.

Co-operation.

Editor Social Corner: I'm a great advocate of cooperation, but my nefshbors do not agree with me in all my theories. It has been my con- tention for years that better results could be obtained if several of the neighbors would unite in doing the work on the several farms. doing the heavy work together and each doing special things that one man could do. In this manner. the having would be done quickly by all working together. The care of chickens. hogs, cows. horses, etc.. could be divided so that each would have certain duties to per form. It would take only a few min utes more to feed all the chickens, hav- ing their runs near, and changing them oftener, than 1t would be for each farmer to feed his own, and other du- ties in proportion How many farm CTS are working on this plan? Let's get together and exchange views for the good of all. O. Y B.
