EHA Last week I did net write
IL letter for you, as we had SO
a many of the Cousins letters
pilng up, and l know how disap-
pointed some of you feel when you
do not see your letters Gin print
This week I am going to scold
little: some Of you are very careless
about your writing; your spelling is
bad, and it is too great a task for
me TO rewrite the letters. | feel
that, if you are interested enough in
what you want to tell me, you should
take pains to write the letter well
enough for me to read it without diff
Guilty.
Now I'm going to suggest new
line Of argument, as we have almost
unanimously agreed that boys should
learn to cook.
This is the new line: 7 want each
Of you to take stock" of your per-
sonal habits, and see if there are not
some Of them which it would be
beneficial to change.
Do you know there isn't any thing
On earth so beautiful as a clean,
sweet-smelling body? And by
"sWeet-smelling I DON'T mean per-
fume-I mean the sweet smell of
absolute cleanliness.
| have known people to take the
most intense dislike to boys and
girls because of deep burrows Of dirt
under fn8er-nails, or because of
unWaShed ears and necks.
Once, in The jeff plant we had
a young man working. He was very
good-loking, he spent all his money
on clothes, red neckties, green socks,
shoes with great big silk bows on
them, dinky little hats that hung on
his ear and had hat-bands with all
the cOlors Of the rainbow-and I
DON'T think he ever bought a cake
Of soap; his neck was so grimy when
he took his collar Off, that I called
him "Willie Gluepots,'' because it
seemed to me his clothes must stick
to him if the rest of his body wasn't
washed any oftener than his neck
Once there was a dear little woman
who always began and ended her
day with a bath; I think she took
one or two betWeen-w whites, and
whenever a tramp came to the house.
she always gave him a pan Of water,
q cake of soap and a towel before
she would give him anything to eat.
We called the wood-shed "the
tramps bathroom" None who were
washed and fed bothered to return
thanks for their ablutfons or food,
till one day, in the winter, German
tramp asked for food. Little Mother
trotted cut the pan, the soap and the
towel, and the German went to the
wood shed to use them. When he
came again to the kitchen he was
transformed; Little Mother was so
pleased, she hunted up some Of
Dads old clothes, and when the
German had again disappeared into
the wood-shed, he came out looking
like a gentleman. He looked at his
clothes, then he said: II bet I gets
me a cbob now" and he did. 1t
seems he had tramped from New
York to Jacksonville, Florida where
we lived, as be could not stand the
Northern winter after long illness.
And after he got the chob," he
came back to tell Little Mother.
You see-eleanliness and neat
ness give US respect for ourselves;
we face people with an assurance
we CAN'T feel if we are dirty or
ragged.
And there isn't really any need
of any of us being either-is there?

Diseases of Metals.

Metals suffer from contagious dis
eases analogous TO those Of living be-

most striking is that called ''tin pest"

and falls into dust. and sometimes
warty protuberances appear on the

metals suffer from a disease that man.
ifests itself by a spontaneous recrys-
utilization. The most remarkable cases
occur with lead and hard drawn brass.
These diseases are not due. as has
been thought simply TO moisture.
Temperature plays a part in producing
them. The most extraordinary fact
perhaps is that the Tin pest is capa-

Dear Mrs. Thompson: What do you
think Of a lady who has been married
Is years and has three children, also

it? Should her child keep it from her
