REST FOR MOTHER AND CHILD

The kindergarten idea is good, but
busy mothers have little time to de-
vote to actual play with their chill
dren. 1t is an excellent plan to make
suggestions for them to work or play"
out. For instance, suggest to the very
little ones as they build with their
blocks You will only have to look
up a minute from your sewing or
other work in order to help them carry
out your suggestion. They may never
have thought of placing the single
blocks in rows for houses on either
side of a street. of placing two to-
gether for the school house, two to-
gether with one in the middle on top
for a postoffice, six for the church
with steepls, four in one long row for
the freight she'd etc, etc. AS the joy
of this cooperative building dawns
on them, a broad new playfield has
opened, and in future days, because
of your timely suggestion, they will
happily play longer, more quietly and
more helpfully.

Do not feed puppies too much raw

meats have a tendency to develop wild

promotes civilization
Never allow a kitten to eat feath-

One writer puts it: "The house dog
should have a bath every time ms
master takes one" This is correct
provided the master bathes twice or
three times a week. Neither the dog
nor the master can battle too often.
If the dog sleeps on cloth of any kind,
this should be washed at least once
each week.
A few pigeons can be raised with
chickens with practically the same at

should never be given too much sloppy
feed. The same insect powders used
to destroy vermin on chickens will be
found beneficial for the pigeons.

CARING FOR PETS IN SUMMER

1t is necessary during summer, to
provide cool place for the dogs with
long hair. Most of these animals are
natives of cold climates and unless
the house or retreat is placed in
shady nook or in the north side of
building the animals will suffer from
the heat. 1t is said that to insure the
health of a dog a certain number of
fleas is required. 1t is, however, very
probable that this pest will become too
numerous during the hot summer
weather. Apply kerosene emulsion to
the sleeping quarters at least once each
week. If this does not hold the pest
in check, rub a quantity of any good
insect powder well into the roots of the
hair Any of the powders used around
the poultry yard will answer the pur-
pose.
The female canary should be set in

WHERE TO KEEP PRESERVES

A good fruit closet is something
every house should have. The es-
sential points are that ii should be
dark and well ventilated, and the
shelves deep enough to hold two rows
of glass jars easily, and high enough
to allow at least three inches above
the jar. 1t is we'll to have deep
shelf at the bottom for stone jars
The shelves should be arranged so
they may be easily scrubbed or COW
cred with papers which may be
changed.
In the house where there is no such
provision for preserves the so-called
cooler" may often ba utilized for this
purpose by placing Stats over the
wire screening on the shelves.

is to fling them the "Chautauqua Sa-

cREToNNE AND cHlNTz

Marie Antoinette. arranging the de-
tails for her beloved Little Trianon,
felt the same delight that the modern
woman experiences, in fitting up the
country home which is going to stand
for informal good times, unconven-
tional fun and a blessed freedom from
the irksome bonds of town customs.
If expense is no object, one may
spend quite as much-and quite as
quickly-fitting up bungalow as in
furnishing and decorating a town
home; for some of the imported
French cretonnes are costly luXuries,
and smart-stained wicker furniture in
the latest shapes is by no means
cheap says an exchange. But for the
woman who sets out to make the sum-
mer home attractive on an economical
basis, charming things are to be had
at so little expense that 1t is posi-
tive delight to exercise ingenuity and
personal taste.
Cretonnes are the chief reliance of
the bungalow decorator. Any color
scheme may be carried out with these
useful stuffs and patterns range from
the most frivolous Vatican pink and
blue garlanded effects to rich tapes
try designs in deep-toned coloring.
With twenty yards of flowered creton-
mes and a can of white enamel paint,
clever woman can evolve a boudoir
dainty enough for a princess. 1t is
surprising what charming results can
be achieved with white paint and, as
every one knows who has tried it, once
the painting fever has developed it
takes actual self denial to keep from
touching up everything in sighl with
spotless, fresh coats of white. All
woodwork and furniture to be treated
to a coat of white enamel should be
sandpapered first, in order that a
streaked effect may be prevented
Cane seated furniture is charmingly
fresh and cool in summer bedrooms
but all white enameling should be done
before the chairs are sent to be caned
Old diningroom chairs, with cane
seat, make attractive bedroom chairs
when treated to a coat of white and
with the legs sawed off an inch or
two. Very high chairs are an abomi-
nation in bedroom, except for desk
use
With bedrooms finished in white
paint flowered chintz hangings will be
prettiest. Rose patterns are always
favorites. and there are cool green
leaved designs on a white ground
which are charming with white dim
ity window curtains. Yellow lowered
cretonnes have a certain dignity with
old mahogany furniture. Blue and Ii
lac lowered cretOnnes are dainty at
first, but they soon fade. If blue
room is desired the best choice is the
bold Dutch. or Delft blue with which
the lighter shade of blue denim may
be used satisfactorily. Plain colors in
combination with the gayly fiowered
stuffs give character to the room.
which would be so frivolous as to be
wearisome were walls hangings and

For example. If a plain wall cover

and chair cushions may be flowered
or figured chintz. but II the walls ara

use plain draperies and cushions and

THE BACK DOOR

With the abolishment of the alley
and the back yard as it was known
few years ago there has come a great
change in the character of the service
and of the noise.
In large cities where the houses are
of necessity set close to the street the
alley was the simplest solution to the
problem of the ash and garbage man,
but as more of us move into the sub
urbs where the yards are large and
gardens are the hobbies of the owners
of the home, we come to live more in
the open and have become averse to
the sight of laundry tapping in the
breeze, or mops and brooms hanging
by the side OF the door and the gar
bage and rubbish cans constant eye
sore In many localities the fences
have gone entirely and the back yards
are made into a veritable park where
the lawn is continuous, ones indivl-
duality being expressed only in the
flowers planted and these must con-
form to a certain extent with the gem
eral plan.
By many, however, this is considered
undesirable as there is of course very
little privacy procurable and fences
are converted into things of beauty
covered with vines. In this way you
have splendid background prepared
for any flowers you desire to plant.
long a theme of, reproach, must be
metamorphosed into a pleasant place.
In many of the newer houses the back
entrance has become the side door and
is screened from the view of passers
on the street by a lattice fence cum
ningly covered with climbing roses,
wistaria or some other vines. If an
artistic gate is built close to the door,
many steps are saved and the whole
adds to the apparent breadth of the
house. This leaves the backyard free
for pergola and flower garden and
gives an exquisite view from living
room or dining room windows.
By partitioning off a portion of the
back porch to be used exclusively for
the garbage can and rubbish box, these
unsightly objects are hidden from view
and one of the hardest problems is
conquered. If the garbage can is
emptied often and carefully cleaned
with strong hot suds, or lye, there can
be nothing repulsive about such
compartment. Nearly all of the new
houses have closets built for mops,
buckets and scrubbing paraphernalia,
See to it that these are well ventilated
so that the mop and cloths may dry
out we'll or you are harboring dis
se-breeding hole far worse than the
unsightliness of hanging them by the
door in the sun. One method is ugly
and repulsive but the other is posi-
lively dangerous to the occupants of
the house. 1t is inexcusable to have
the screen porch, the disgraceful look
ing place it so often is, Uttered up
with old bottles and cans, rags and
brooms, mops and buckets. Have a
regular place for all of these neces-
stiles and then be sure that they are
kept there.
Use as much system here as in the
rest of the house and don't use the
back porch for a dumping place for
trash

the newspapers of the state, that
there would be no liquor legislation
this session. These statements were
issued upon positive assurance, in
most cases from the leaders them
selves, that there would be no steps
taken in the matter unless the peo-
pie instructed their representatives.
The Anti-Saloon stood quietly by,
and said practically nothing. The
representatives were elected upon the
presumption that there would be no
liquor legislation. Not man, SO
far as we know, was nominated or
voted for or against because of his
sentiments on the subject. The
Cilnch Valley News which has been
for years, as all its readers know,
straight out for local option and Tor
state wide if it comes before the peo-
pie; advocated Mr.. Babers election
last fall, and voted for him on the
distinct understanding that there
would be no liquoE legislation before
the General Assembly. So, there YOU
are. 1t does seem, at first glance,
that the Enabling act should
have been passed. However, the
members of the General Assembly
had no messages or instructions from
their constituents direct. Petitions,
typew ritten or Otherwi Use, are not de-
pendable, as rule, and 10 have
passed this act, and precipitated a
state wide election right away, might
have been disastrous either way. To
have lost out before the people would
have crippled the cause for years. To
have succeeded, by perhaps small
majority, would have been equally
unfortunate. Public sentiment must
be as strong as Prohibition sentiment
to be worth anything. Look at
Tennessee. AS we see il now, the
Legislature in refusing to pass the
Enabling act, saved the Prohibition
cause in spite of its friends. Now LET
the question, at the proper time and
I'm the proper way, be settled in the
primaries OF the state, and not let the
matter lie dormant until the cam
paign Is over, and then depend upon
lobbying and petitions to rush
through measure OF such grave i'm
portance. So long as the policy OF
local option is adhered to strictly
the League can stay out OF politics,
perhaps but state wide can never be-
carried except at the polls.
