Parents a soul out of the unknown and pect eternal gratitude from that soul.
 Did you ever stop to wonder why?
 UnSympathetic, nagging mothers drive their children from them by every little hateful way known kind, and then sit and gTieve the Engratude of children
 What had the child to be grateful for? Having born and made unhappy till it could fend for itself?
 Fathers give life, and little else comes within harborage at the fFeside of daughter
 The act of paternity does not carry with any certainty of love either side
 If did, the homes for orphans would not have within their walls so many iLegitimate children.
 Motherhood is a great and wonderful miracle But It is miracle that nature repeats every part of the nal and vegetable Kingdoms.
 To have brought child world does not mea that mother has right any love devotion than she gives
 We speak feelingy of the fostering care of helpless childhood bYt it is often negligible quality barely ing within the law. Tt is than the child's due.
 Love 1s the seed from which love grows between par ents and children.
 The Bible bids children honor their parents It ad- monishes them to obedience.
 Nowhere does it command them to love their parents
 Love cannot be commanded It does not come at the call of duty. It grows out of justice and kindness affection.
 Many children could loved into goodness and or alt that driven from home by minimizing selfish par ents.
 A child must have something be loving for aside from the mere fact of having been born.
 Look well to it, fathers and mothers for there are few monstrOstes of affection in this day understanding and knowledge

 Romaine served with French dress ing is tasty If grated pineapple cheese is added, it improves the fIa> vOr, as well as the appearance of the dish.
 Wipe off screens with a duster each morning and beat with a soft brush The beating should be done lightly in order that the wire be not bulged.
 Don't put the salt into cold milk when making a custard. Pat the salt in after the milk has been scaIded ; otherwise the custard will separate, as though curdled.
 When using valuable vases for ta- ble decorations, fill them with sand, for this makes them stand firmly and renders them less likely to be knock ed over and broken.
 One teaspoonful of flavoring ex- tract is the proportion for one plain loaf of cake, and one quarter of a pound of salt pork for pint of Bos- ton baked beans.
 An old country cream for chapped hands, to be rubbed in at night, Is made of spermaceti, one ounce; al- mond oil, two ounces; orange flower
 
 A half can of tomatoes can be used to make tomato souffle. Season with salt and pepper, add butter, strain and add a cup of cream. Serve with salt ed crackers.
 Canned pears make a delicious salad Serve them on lettuce leaves, with thin mayonnaise dressing, in which taragon vinegar, instead of lemon, has been used.
 An oil complexion can only be over come by avoiding gravies, pastries, rich cake, etc. Water must be free-y drunk between meals and plenty of fruit eaten.
 Fashioned mutton talIow, which can be perfumed with a few drops of essence of rose, is very healing for chapped hands or lips or rough skin, made so from high winds or frosty air.
 A careful laundress always uses a wooden spoon in preparing starch, and never makes starch in tin utensil. These precautions taken, there is no danger of the starch imparting rust spots to the clothes
 Vanished furniture should be rub bed with silk occasionally, when lit tie sweet oil may be used. If rubbed on and wired off carefully, it wi re- move all spots md preserve the bright ness of the V. CT.
 A few spOOnfulS of leftover mash ed potato can be used to form a foun- dation of rice soup. If mixed with cold chopped meat and rice and an egg and suitable seasoning, they make arpetiz4ng croquettes
 Curtains, ottomans and softs covered with worsteds can be cleaned with wheat bran, rubbed on with flannel. It is surprising how fresh and bright this process of cleaning will render such articles if done in the proper manner
 Some cooks always add a little po- tato to the mashed turnips, while oth- CTS dredge in a little flour before sea soning. When the turnips are large, they will have more delicate flavor if the water is changed at least once during boiling
 Sometimes it is quite impossible to make old glassware bright and clear. If strong ammonia is poured over it, and it is then scrubbed well with a brush and rinsed in warm water, it will, when dried, look quite as bright as one could wish.

ries guests in many homes for they feel that they are too much trouble for the hostess. Simple meals that can be prepared without much fuss never annoy anyone, and there is ample time for visiting. Such dinners as roast chicken with dressing, stew ed chicken with noodles, roast beef, boiled ham or roast pork take care of themselves to a great extent, if the fire is not too hot, and yet they are quite as good as elaborate made dish
 
 If can get the things ready the day before that can be relocated, or meats that can be served cold, I do so, but if not, rise ear in the morning and before the guests are up do as much as possible toward the dinner and supper. Tomatoes, corn, peas, sweet potatoes and many other vege- tables will bear relocating or warm ing over and no one knows the diff ference, while there are many soups that can be made in advance and served at ten minutes notice. Boiled sweet potatoes may be glazed in the oven in fifteen minutes, cold boi' ed po- tatoes fried, chopped meats made into salads or croquettes. These are all good supper dishes and easily prepar- ed, so that the hostess can get up

almost affirm that it had become the uniform for dress occasions.
 Colh rettes and iaHots for spring wear are Gaiutily bewitching. These are fashioned from tuIIe, cream lace, fine linens and moosselfne de soie.
 There is great liking among young folks for alI-black gowns with ermine furs, and if there is a hat, the hat is black, with black feathers.
 The glorious colors of the Indian Durbar are already beginning to have their effect in fashions, many gor- geous'y brocaded silks appearing for gowns.
 Satin, which came in with such a rush this winter, has gone over into the spring fabrics. If cos ume is not of satin, it is trimmed with satin or

 A novelty to be brought out in cot ton goods is fringed borders. with all cotton, and with silk and cotton mix lures. In the former case the fringe is made of the silk warp.
 Sets consisting of smaller collars and cuffs of lawn or batiste, and trimmed with Venise, Cluny or Val laces, are being featured for wear on waists and simple tailored dresses of satin or linen.
 Suit coats are about twenty-six to twenty-eight inches in length. The inclination is toward belt effects-a sort of modified Russian blouse, with out the fullness about the waist or hips.
 While the low side fastening is still a noticeable feature of many of the spring models; the revers are so made that they do not disclose as much of the dress or waist as was formerly the case.
 Go bert and Richelieu embroiderfes are used in conjunction with the finest of fine laces and decorative sashes of novelty ribbons. These embroideries are of a raised or padded sort. and the floral design is executed on ex tremely sheer mulls, batiste and hand kerchief linens

ENTERTAINING
 COMPANY EASILY

If guests are expected I always plan to have my meals well in hand and as simple as possible before they ar rive, in order to put the house in good order. This saves cleaning and dust ing after they come if they are only to stay a week or less, and it also saves confusion, as guests mean more or less disorder in the living rooms, no matter how orderly the home sis. If they come unexpectedly I do not tear things out in my efforts to have every corner and cubbyhole clean, but quietly make the best of things. With the house in good order, if their com ing is announced, or in fair condition if unexpected, concern myself as little as possible with sweeping and dusting until after they are gone.
 Company meals are always simple in my home, for one pair of hands can not do much fancy cooking and have any time to talk to guests. Really, it seems that elaborate cooking wor-

HOME HEALTH CLUB

(By pr. David H. Reeder, La Porte,
 Indiana.)
 Lumbago-when the large nuscIes of the back by which the body is rais- ed from a recumbent position become so stiffened that you cannot raise yourself without great pain, then you have lumbago- Sometimes this be- comes so pronounced that the muscles refuse, utterly, to perform the func- ton and the case is very serious. Aside from the pain one endures he is rem dered helpless until cured. An ordi~ nary, light attack of 1umbago may be relieved in a few days, by staying in- doors when the weather is cold OF wet; by few hot baths and the ap- plication of some good, strong Hni~ ment and the drinking, before retiring of some hot pepper tea and the like. But when the attack is violent, con~ tinuous and disabling, more strenuous and heroic treatment must be adopt ed.
 An impatient desire to get well quickly, often induces those who are afflicted with lumbago, to take bIis- tering, burning, poisoning with pow erful drugs, and such- Sometimes those who adopt such means get rid of lumbago at the expense of incur ring something worse
 Loss of elasticity of the muscles involved is the cause of lumbagO and this was brought on by over-exertion or the loss of heat The remedy is to replace the lacking function. The thing to be done is to cease any at tempt at the exertion that caused the trouble and infuse the affected muscle or muscles with heat. This is easily done by the application Of hot cloths to the region. This heat should be continued for an hour or more at mandatory intervals and hence it should be kept at as even temperature as possible For the same reason the heat should not be too severe. Apply olive oil to the back, all over and thoroughly. Fold a heavy blanket to about two and a half feet long and wide enough to cover the back and sides. Wiring this out of water as hot as your hands will bear; lace the folded blanket on the back and sides. Maintain the heat by covering the blanket with an oi1-cloth or a heavy comforter. Change for another hot, wet blanket every fifteen minutes. In about an hour and a half remove the fermentation and rub the back and sides thor oughly with hot olive oil.
 Repeat this daily until the patient has recovered from his lunbago, which will be not more than two or three days. During treatment and for sew eral days thereafter avoid exposure that is calculated to induce the slight est cold.

Dear Doctor:
 Will you kindly tell me of a good treatment for my daughter. Her left hand keeps going to sleep; it, gets numb and prickles, and then sharp, shooting pains go through the arm and into the fingers. Her hand is stiff and has to be rubbed briskIy be- fore she can use it. For two years she has dreaded to make buttonhoIes or do alarming because of her hand
 J. c. D.
 Have your daughter foment her en- tire arm and hand thoroughly every night. Then follow by a good rub ping with pure olive oil. Each morn ing upon arising massage the entire hand and arm for at least five min utes. There need be no particular movements used in this massage just work the flesh smartly with the other hand; stretch the fingers, roll them. pinch them, stir new life into them A mechanical massage roller would be Of great value, however.
 I presume you know what a, fO% mentation is, but for fear you don't I will describe how to apply one to your daughters arm. Simply wiring woolen blanket out of boiling hot wa ter and wrap this hot mass around the hand and arm. It is better to rub well with oil first, so as to avoll. burning. fBecareful when removing that the arm does not become chilled or harm will result.
