il we as mothers do not protest
against them, who is going to do so?
For instance, if we allow our
daughters to go out in the presence
of gentlemen half dressed in low cut
dresses and short sleeves, should we
be surprised if she loses, to some
extent, that most noble Of all jewels,
virtue? Should we be surprised if
gentlemen should lose their high es-
TEEN for girls who have no more
shame than to mount the horse
astride in their presence. Gentlemen
of refinement will condemn in strong
est terms all such habits among wom-
en-.
If all mothers would discharge
their full duty, in training their
children, there would not be house
of i'll repute in our land today. Next,
We as mothers, must be our daugh-
ters' chums, and confdante. We
must be their instructors We must
teach them that all Of the up-to-date
passions, and follies, are not refining.
We must not allow them to go where
they should not go, Or do what they
should not do.
Now suppose we as mothers take
this matter into our own hands and
see If we cannot solve the problem,
and bring about an Improvement
Plainly, q mothers first duty Is her
home and children, and if we will lay
aside all foolishness and try to mould
the character Of our sons and daugh-
tiers into true, home-loving, God-fear-
ing, manly men, and womanly wom-
en-, it will bring about a reform such
as the world has never known. Let
us dare to do our own thinking.

ADVICE TO YOUNG MOTHERS.

Dear Mrs. Lee: Now as the canning
season is about over and we have a
few leisure hours, l note in The JEFF
fersOnian Of Oct. 5th, Mrs. L. T.
Russell requests that l answer some
questions in regard to the training
of daughters. One is, how. can moth
ers teach their daughters how to act
toward young men?
Well, first, would say, commence
twenty years before the daughter is
born. Many OF eur yeung women of
the modern type she@ld take twenty
years in reforming themselves before
they should accept the responsible
position OF motherhood.
Then when the daughter is born,
let the first lesson it learns be love
and perfect confidence in it's parents.
Next teach the child rodesty and
firn1aess, and above all teach it hon
esty and implicit trust In God. Then
as the daughter grows older, watch
carefully it's habits and learn il it is
inclined to be bold or forward
then the mother must lGse NO time
in correcting this evil. It can be done
with care and 6Taaxess.
Most all young men will conduct
themselves properly in the presence
Of refined young ladies, and II not,
there is a way of compelling them
to do so.
We must always remember if we
want our daughters to be respected
as ladies, they must conduct them
selves as such.
If we allow our daughters to asso-
ciate with girls of lax morals and
base young men, we may expect moth
ing good to come of it. We believe
that lax morals is sending more of
our pure innocent girls down to the
underworld at the present time than
ever at any other age of the world.
There are many great evils. There
a tendency to destroy modesty, and

added. You can buy the squares at
$3.50 for the mating, SIS to $40 for
the fibre, up to as much as you care
to pay for the handsome art squares.
You can buy the mixed floor paint
at reasonable price, and put it on
the floors yourself. They will need
one good coat year, and you can
put that on as quickly and with as
much ease as you can scrub the
floors once. Try the paint, even if
you do not get the rugs and squares.
Paint every one of your floors
porches, halls, bedrooms, dining room
and kitchen-and see how much bet
ter you will like them and how much
work 1t Will save you. S. T. P.

HOW TO CLEAN THE HOUSE.

Most Of us who were raised in the
country remember how we we're
taught to do homage to the time
honored custom Of securing and
scrubbing. About once a month, or
oftener, you had to stay home from
school a day ''to help scour.'' The
whole household machinery was
thrown ort Of order, the members
Of the family were thrown into con-
fusion and things turned topsy-turvy
generally. Beds, mattresses, quilts,
pillows, etc, were strung around on
folds while the furniture was
dragged out into the porch and the
room floors were thoroughly scrubbed
with mop and plenty Of soap and
hot water. Then, after the room
floors had dried, the furniture was
pushed back, and steps, porches and
halls were scrubbed from front to
back.
All this certainly kept things clean,
it is true, but it was often carried
to excess, and 1t involved a great
deal of the hardest kind of back
breaking work. And then, too, it
kept the housewives nerves on edge
trying to keep the Immediately clean
floor from getting speck or a spot
Of any kind.
Many are the spats we've read of
occasioned by John Henry's tracking
with muddy feet on Mary James
freshly scrubbed floor.
If any who are still affect with
'scrubitis' should read this, let me
insist, please, that you leave it off.
Paint your floors some good dark
color-brown or gray-and use rugs
and the pretty mating, fibre or art
squares for your dining and bed
rooms. The tacked-down carpet and
mating, which are veritabIe dust
collectors, and which it is so easy to
"let alone while longer" have been
condemned as unsanitary, but not so
with the squares and rugs. These
squares are very pretty, last well,
and are quite sanitary, as they can
be taken out and summed and busted
as often as necessary. And while they
are out the floor can be wiped up
with clean water to which a little
soap or washing powder has been

Dear Woman's Page: My husband

it ever SO much better than it is, and
with very little effort on our part.
Hereafter l promise myself that
will with Gods help be a regular con-
tributOr to the WOman's Page. I am

been stricken with locomotor ataxia
and p0steriOr cerrOsis of the spine,

Of any one caring for any I would
be pleased to get the work Or if
you would kindly mention it on the

tell you q little incident that hap
pened in my home in connection with

state Of Arkansas. | gave a New
Years Eve luncheon. | had a very
dear friend, an old widow lady, she
being one Of the invited guests to the
luncheon. Fortunately, it so hap
pened she sat next to me on my right
side and luncheon was about fin
lshed, everyone apparently waiting
the signal from me to arise from the
table and proceed to the parlor. She
looked at me with her whole heart
in her eyes, and at the same time
touched my foot. [ whispered to her
to sit quiet until | took the guests
into the parlOr, which I did, excus-
ing my self from them to return to
the dining room. She said to me,
your Tipped the Parson' dessert

had some aromatic ammonia l
washed her face in ice water, fixed
dose of the aromatic ammonia, and
she drank it and in Is minutes was
as sober as judge. I told her I be-
lieVed she was shamming on me.
Well, l will close. l have made
my letter ever so much longer than
I intended to and fear l have al

long, but oftener.
