Teachers association the following resolution was
adopted:
We believe that the provision Of our present
child labor law which forbids any child under the
age Of IA years from working at a gainful oecupa-
ton during the time when the schools are not in
session is baneful in its effects because it forces
the child during the vacations to life of idleness
in the street and in the alley. We recommend
that the legislative committee of this association
be urged to use its influence to have the law SO
modified that the healthy child will be permitted
to work during vacations at such pursuits as will
not harmfully affect the physical. intellectual or
moral welfare"

Easily Made Rose Jars.

THE rose Jar is source of never
ending delight to its owner. and the
making and maintaining one is a simple
matter.
Rose petals should be gathered in the
early morning and tossed lightly on a
table in a cool. airy place, to dry until
the dew has evaporated. They should
then be placed in a stone jar and sprin-
half-inch layer of petals. The contents of
the jar can be added to each morning
until enough petals have been gathered.
They should be allowed TO remain in the
jar ten days after the last layer has been
added, the Whole mass being stirred each
day.
An ounce each of coarsely ground cloves
and allspice, and much stick cinnamon.
broken into small pieces, should next be
provided. Transfer the rose petals to an
other jar. sprinkle in the spices between
layers of petals. Cover the jar tightly.
and let it stand in a dark place for three
weeks. at the end of which time the stock
is ready for the permanent jar. which
may be simple or elaborate, so long as 1t
has double cover.
Have ready a quarter Of an ounce each
of coarsely ground mace, allspice and
cloves: half grated nutmeg, half an
ounce of cinnamon. an ounce of powdered
orris root and quarter OF pound OF
dried lavender flowers All should be
mixed. Next fill the rose jar. alternating
layers of rose petals from the stock jar
with sprinklings of the spices \ few
drops each of rose, geranium, nerOli and
bitter almond oils should be dropped upon
the layers as the jar is filled. and an
ounce of fine rose extract poured over
the whole.
rose jar thus prepared will keep for
years. If the jar is left open for half an
hour each day, the room. and even the
entire house. will be filled with a de-
lightful and refreshing Odor. bewitching
and subtle perfume.
