PROPER DEGREE OF NEGLECT
Sometimes Hard, Even for the Wlsest
Mother, to Know When to Draw
the Line.

Wholesome neglect is about the
best kind of care child can receive"
she said. And my children have all
had plenty of it,"
The other mother was so impressed
by the words Of the mother of seven
healthy children that she actually be-
gan to practice a little bit of whole
some" neglect with her own eve lamb.
One day the little girl came running
to her with cut finger. Formerly
that mother would have called in a
physician to bind up the cut. But hav.
ing decided to make use of whole
some" neglect. she merely took out
her handkerchief, wrapped 1t around
the childs finger, dried her tears, and
told her to run back and play.
The mother of the seven children
happened to be present. When the
little girl had run away she said to
the other mother, THAT is a very dan.
gerous way to treat a cut Do you
usually follow that practice?"
NO" replied the other mother; 81
usually send for the doctor. But
am following your example, and using
wholesome neglect"
The other mother meditated a mo-
ment, and then she said, 1T is not
necessary, think, to call in a doctor
when a child cuts her finger; but to
bind 1t up with a handkerchief that
has been carried even for few hours,
exposed to dust, and not to cleanse
the finger thoroughly before binding
it up at all, seems to me. If may say
so, to be not wholesome but "un.
wholesome neglect. So many per.
sons" she went on. Confuse whole
some with 'unwholesome' neglect. !
don't blame them at all; 1t is hard
always to know the one from the
other!"-Home Progressive Magazine.

Food for Poultry.

Poultry food should be palatable.
Some grains are the favorite food OF
chickens, while others are not. Rye
may be fed. but 1t is not generally
liked by poultry, and should never be
made the principal feed, 1t may be
used in mixture with other grains.
and will be eaten by the flock Relish
is one of the factors of proper feed
ing.
Food should be varied. The best
commercial poultry foods on the mar
ket are combinations OF the common
farm grains. There are varying
amounts Of each. according to nutri-
tive value and cheapness-wheat,
oats, corn. barley, rye, millet-seed.
caneseed, field peas. buckwheat sun
fowerseeds and grasseeds. With
these are combined grit, shells and
charcoal. These foods produce good
results, mainly because OF the va
riety. With little instruction. one
could make such a combination for
the flock of grains on the farm.

FOR SERVING TARTAR SAUCE
idea Put Into Use by One Hostess
Would Seem to Have Many
Good Points.

A good idea for the serving Of tar
tar sauce Of mayonnaise is suggested
by one enterpriisng housewife. She
cuts a lemon in half, cleans out the in
side thoroughly and then fills the
halves with the sauce. She serves
one to each guest. When fish or sal
nd is served the little lemon cups are
placed around the edge of the platter
and one is taken by each guest. In
this way the sauce is kept firm and
strong instead OF melting into liquid
when put on hot plate.
For the home where guests are al
ways arriving and departing there is
nothing quite so nice for the windows
as white cotton crepe. This may be
simply hemmed or trimmed with ball
fringe. For the dressers and bureaus
covers of fleece-lined pique will be
found very satisfactory. This may
be cut into the required size and the
edges buttonholed in scallops. Two
sets of curtains and covers should be
kept on hand, one in use and a clean
one besides.

SIMMONS ROAD BILL PASSED
North Carolina Senator Makes Name

Henry Clay made his successful fight

road. Senator Simmons bill provides
for the expenditure OF only 100000.
and that for experimental work: but
the ice has been broken now, and the
advocates OF national highways con-
structed by the national government
have taken new courage. The bill pro-
vides for every dollar expended in any
community by the federal government
the local authorities shall put up two,
30. while the actual appropriation is
only FIVE hundred thousand, the bill
: will cause to be expended on the
roads OF the country million and a
half; II is further stipulated that every
cent OF the money shall be spent un-
der the direction OF engineers from
the United States Office OF public
roads, thus eliminating the possibility
OF local graft The information that
the national government has at last
made direct appropriation for road
building outside of federal Cemeteries.

to the advocates OF good roads as the
best news they have heard in many
years; the appropriation is not much.

Feather Toduea.

1t seems as though a hat made OF
feathers should be light, and so the
plumage toques are in actual weight;
but they have heavy look. thanks to
their compactness, and this is not be-
coming. Nevertheless they will be
very fashionable up till Christmas,
and are already obtainable in many
colors ard shapes. Very few of them
have brims, but nearly all belong to
the saucepan, the pudding basin or the
coal scuttle persuasion.

monotonous sounds of the prison went on
around him unchanged, the hope in his
heart would die down, leaving only the
gray ashes Of despair behind it, A touch
of madness, this hope, that was all. For
in truth there was no hope; stretching
before him the illimitable vista of his
prison life, with its seven thousand odd
days and nights, and never a ray Of hope
in all its grayness. His head would fall
on his breast, and the old stupor, that
had nothing merciful in its dun apathy
would creep up over him again; so he
would sit till the sharp voice of the in
specung Warder would call him to atten-
ton and his task again-that task Whlrr

his unaccustomed fingers to accomplish
his three and a half pounds of oakum

He has never asked to call on me
regularly. bus called three cOnsecu-
tive sunday evenings when ! met
him the following Sunday after
noon at a club meeting. At this
meeting he said nothing about CALI

asked him whether to expect him
that evening, or should he have

If he got the impression YOU did not
care for him it is very good thing
for you 1t is never to a girls inter

There would have been nothing
wrong in asking him to call, but | am
of the opinion that if he had wanted to

The Day That Is Like a Year.


that the mind of the devil-or woman
could have devised
The Day That Is Like Year.
To Rimington the first weeks of his
probation in solitary confinement passed
like a horrible dream, in which every
day seemed the length of a year-"a
year whose days are long" The rough
tongued, kindly hearted doctor who, be
fore he came to Norwood Scrubs, had
advised him to give his Will a rest if
he wished to avoid trouble in prison,
had told him also that unless he was
very unlike other men-unlike any man
he had ever uncomfortable would find
that the routine of the prison life would
gradually become the reality. and the
outside life--the old life-would gradually
fade and become dim and unsubstantial
as a dream,
If it wasn't so, our penal establish
ments would be composed Of Broad
moors' he had said. But as it is we
are creatures of habit: and you'll get
into the habit of your prison tasks just
as the restless schoolboy settles down
to the routine of the city office he's
pitchforlled into, and becomes the tame
clerk content TO tot up the figures of
other folks money"
Sometimes the remembrance of those
words came to Rimingtou. filling him
with a sense Of impotent rage They
were so horribly true. Day by day. as
he felt himself caught up relenuessly
by the great wheel of the prison routines
mechanical and soulless, that brushes
remorselessly all individuality out of a
man, he wondered what the end of the
twenty years would find him. Even after
five weeks he was beginning TO see the
inevitable deterioration in personal hab-
! its which prison life brings about. II
this deterioration progressed at the same
rate
He fought against these thoughts with
all his strength. setting himself doggedly
to his daily tasks. that already after five
weeks had reduced his hands to a condi-
ton worse than that of the average man
ual laborer Whatever outward submits
sion he must make at least he must re
main captain of his own soul
The old chaplain, in parting from him
had said.
