Sanitation in the Home.

Scientists who have made a study
of the condition of the poor in cities,
claim that more disease is caused
from impure air than any other cause.
When otherwise intelligent women
will sleep in a close room, without a
chance of fresh outside air getting in,
it seems as if our educational system
was at fault.
So many people seem to be afraid
of night air. Night air is all we get
at night, and there is no reason to be
afraid of it, unless it. is bottled in a
room. Children should early be &C.
customed to sleeping in a room with
fresh air coming in at all times. 1t is
not necessary to sleep in a draft to
have fresh air. The person who goes
to sleep in a room tina has been occu-
pied for an hour or two without air
ing and in which a gas light or lamp
has been burning, will wake with q
headache and wonder why.
On coming in from being out in the
fresh air, ones nose tells that the air
is impure very quickly. Another false
notion that many people labor under
is that cold air is pure.
In cases of sickness, where it is nee.
essary to avoid any drafts, a device
which is very simple, may be used.
Put a piece of board three or four
inches wide, and long enough to fit
under the sash; raise the window and
set this under it., The air will come
up into the DON between the sashes.
A leaking gas or sewer pipe should
never be neglected for the effects of
sucn poisoning often lasts for years.
The insidious manner in which bad
gases sometimes act on the human
system is what makes them so dan
gerous. The practice of sleeping out
doors has proven such a good one that
it is justly becoming a most common
habit. One may, if the sleeping room
has two windows, sleep in an atmo-
sphere as pure as needful in ordinary
health.

The Ruling Passion,

An old Irish woman, in describing a
gone but not forgotten" said: Mike
was the foine mar entoirely and he'd
be living now, if it wasn't for the
drink. He had a dog and ure that
haste would bring him home from the
liquor he couldn't see a shtep before
him. And whin he died-'tis the truth
I'm shpaking-his ghost walked at
night, both back and foorth, betune
the saloon and his house-and bedad
twas SO dhrunk his dog knew him."

Some of the Cheaper Meats.

Get a cheap cut of beef, a chuck or
rump piece; cut into inch cubes, fry
brown in a little suet, then with
water and let simmer for several
hours. Remove the meat, thicken the
gravy with a little flour and pour over
the meat. The meat should be sea-
soned when cooking, an hour. Serve
with carrots, potatoes and dumplings,
if liked.
A cheap cut of mutton is very nice,
cut in small pieces and Drowned in
fat, then simmered in boiling water
for several hours. Or it may be sim
mered in water first, then cooked in
it's W fat until brown. The broth in
which the meat has been cooked
makes a fine one for cooking carrots,
cabbage, turnips and potatoes for a
vegetable dinner, the same day, or the
M following.
A very appetizing dish for those
who are fond of sauer kraut is spare
ribs and sauer kraut. Wipe the spare
ribs and put on to cook in water to
cover. Let them simmer for half an
hour, then add the kraut and cook for
three hours. Either the brown stew
or the spareribs may be cooked in the
f~ireless cooker, after cooking for half
an hour on the stove. The kraut may
be added long enough to get boiling
hot before putting in the cooker.

HARD TO REGULATE READING
Normal Boy and Girl Have T:stes
Which They Should Be Allowed
to Indulge.

Much nonsense has been put forth
about the regulation of children's read
ing. This is a late day to attempt a
rigid censorship of an urchin's literary
acQuaintances, and as for leading him,
there is probably no method better
than that of our grandfathers-to turn
him loose III a mans library and let
him taste its strong fare. For the rest,
any normal boy ought to relish the
absurdities of the dime novel, and any
natural girl ought to be able to wal.
low in the sentimental fairy tale.
B-ood-curdling adventure is as neces.
sary to the diet of the one as sugary
romance is to that Of the other. Even
the watery pap provided by the aver.
age Christmas book or in the pages of
the ordinary children's publication,
probably does little harm if less good
to the adolescent morale.
But we have a class of writer's "for
youth whose influence is really de-
moralizing. 1t is their %postulate which
the comic supplement develops to the
point of nausea We mean hat order
OF scribbling parasites who make a
business of flattering children into the
belief, or the working hypothesis"
that they are wiser and better than
their elders.-New York Post.

Corner in Ancestors
Morrison Family
Copyright by Mcclure Syndicate)
By FRANCIS VILE

The name Morrison, Morrison, More
son, Murison and Maryson has as
many explanations as it has forms. 1t
has been variously claimed that it is
a name indicative Of Moorish influ-
ence of some kind; that it means the
son of a great warrior, that it signifies
mighty" and that it means the son
of Maurice, or the son of the disciple
of Mary; this last explanation would
indicate that the name was borne by
a family who had some church proper
ty, the property of a disciple of the
Virgin Mary. Whatever it's meaning,
it is one of the Oldest and worthiest
names in all Scotland.
Lewis is a little island on the west
shore of Scotland, and there is a ira
dition that the founder of the clan
Morrison went there from Norway,
and there is q tradition hat he was
Mores, a son of the Norwegian king.
At any rate, the family became one
Of the most important on the little
island, and for hundreds Of years the
leader of the family was the hereditary

one of great influence, for the Judge
had power of life and death at
his fingers end. About 800 years ago,
after a feud of many years duration,
the Morrisons lost their position of
leadership to the McLeods, and SO
lost their hereditary position Of Judge.
All the Morrisons in this country
are probably descended from this an.
cient Scotch family, although all of
them cannot trace their descent. But
there is one branch which has its
lineage clear from the last of the
hereditary judges.
Rev. Donald Morrison, and Rev.
Kenneth Morrison, two brothers, and
the ministers of the two parishes OF

Lewis, were born about 1920, and were
%grandsons of the last of the judges.
1t is said that Kenneth, who was a
staunch Presbyterian, used to walk to
church with drawn sword, for the
times were troubled in Scotland, and
hat he had two men stationed always
at the door to the church, guarding
the worshipers with drawn swords.
Kenneth had a son, Rev. Allen, who
in turn had a son Alexander, a tax
man. His children We're John, Don
aid and Allan, and in 1866 Donald and
Allan emigrated to Canada. John
stayed in Canada, but his three chill
dren, Donald, Roderick, and another
Donald, all left home. The first went
Canada, the last to Australia, and
Roderick, who died in 1854, settled in
the Mississippi.
Many Of the Canadian Morrisons
came before very long to the United
States. One of the Canadian men,
bers of the family, ROderick, the son
of Donald, was called the white
Bear" by the Indians, in reference to
his great physical strength, and in
the war of 1912 he was at the head
of the Indian forces of the Lake su-
perior region. William, the son of
Allan, who emigrated to Canada, was
the first white man to discover the
sources of the Mississippi river, which
he did in 1911.
This Williams son, of the same
name, left Canada and settled in Cali
fornia; and Williams uncle, Allan,
settled in the upper region of the Mis-
sissippi. He was a member of the
legislature, and he married a full
blooded Indian princess.
The Morrisons of New Hampshire
are another big branch of the family
who claim descent from the old Scot
fish hereditary judges. John Morri-
son, and his sons James and John. es.

we're there during the siege, when
about 1000 of the inhabitants were
driven outside the walls, where they
were at the mercy of the missiles of
the enemy, and where many of them
who were not killed starved to death.
His sons came here In 1873, James to
found the Windham branch of the
family and John the Peterborough
branch.
John, the father, who had married
a second time, was the moderator of
the first town meeting at Windham in
1742. He gained his title in the New
Hampshire regiment of militia, and
vas present in 1853 at the capture of
Louisburg from the French. The in
scription on his tomb stone reads:

among them Robert of Ireland, who
came in 1913, and who had three chill

Samuel, Jr., born In Scotland, who
had John. Samuel, Nary and Susanna.
Three brothers, William, David and
Hugh Morrison, established the family
in 1926 in Nottingham, n. II. They
had an uncle who went through the
siege of Londonderry mentioned
above. of whom it was said that he
