Children Who Sleep Cute Doors

sleep indoors until they are three
months old, then a little new bed
is added to the row on the porch.
Our porches have shutters that
may be closed if necessary
though this is never done except
in case of severe storm, and
then only on the side from which
the storm blows. Plenty of thick
blankets are used for covering
and thick eiderdown night robes
with hood attached, are worn in
winter.
Not one of these children has
ever had the suggestion of a con-

serious colds are unknown. The
older ones attend the regular
public schools; their little play

whooping cough, etc., but my

Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, sur-

said Mrs. Belmont. "But next
year I am going to have the girls
taught blowing and haying and
all other field work. Such work
is not too heavy for girls when
they become accustomed to 1t. OF
course there may be some girls,
constitutionally weak, who can
not do 1t, but for experienced
hands It would be easy. This
year we have had to hire some
men to help us, but next season,
I am sure, Brookholt will be an
Adam1ess Eden. Strong, health
full girls will be supporting them
selves on this farm by the fall of
1912"
All the girls who go to Brook
holt are given to understand that
good, hard work is before them.
They arise at $3.50 in the morn
ing. Breakfast is at z. At 8
o'clock they start for the garden.
Some of them trim and care for
fruit trees. Potato patches-ag-
gregating seven acres-and truck
gardens give them plenty of work
to do.

much" said a tanned girl of II

dinner table.
"None Of us ever milked a COW

of the mixers. Now we race

At 9 o'clock the days work is
ended. By 6:80 the girls have
changed their bloomers and
sailor blouses for house clothes
and have been through cool baths.
Then comes supper.

know enough of Governor San

the United States and feel that
their industries will get all the
protection possible. In the course
of speech delivered q few days

thai his political enemies were
very active to speak of his So
called foibles or political short
comings, but they studiously
avoided giving him credit for in
creasing the pensions to the old
Confederate veterans and also
increasing the revenues for pub
lie education throughout the
State-all of this without increas-
ing the rate of taxation. If he
has been a protectionist insofar
as our old veterans and our pub

confident he would be and is so
fully as we'll with regard to sugar,

our interests are safe, and the
well.informed voter will take the
same views of the case as the

The American Red Cross is
both a noble and an efficient insti-
tuition, as was demonstrated in it's
promptness in rushing to the re-
lief of Austin. It was several
hours after the disaster occurred,
at 2:30 o'clock Saturday after
noon, that the outside world heard
the dreadful tidings. Yet by 10
O'Clock Saturday night Red Cross
representatives were on their way
to the scene and supplies, medi-
cines and nurses were hurried
forth on the first available train
from the headquarters at WASH

States have every reason to feel
proud of the American Red Cross
and to generously support it in its
noble work.
