TRAINING A

Are YOU. as a mother, doing your
duly by your daughter? Are you teach
ins her the art of housekeeping. all
those duties that every practical house
keeper must know in order to be a
successful h~omsslaker? Or are you
allowing her TO grow into womanhood
with the very vaguest ideas. If any,
regarding the proper way to conduct a
Zone?
II the latter, your daughter is to be
pitled, for the day will surely com
when she will deeply regret the lack
of early training in the care of a
house.
We frequently hear an older woman
relate how as a bride she was con-
tronted with all sorts of p~erplexing
problems In housekeeping that she was
IN no way fitted to solve, and had to
tave everything TO servants, perhaps
Incompetent ones ct that.
We hear women say: when [ first
vent to housekeeping / did not even
know how TO toast bread or boil pota-
toes, and many unhappy hours were
spent in trying TO learn to prepare a
meal that could be eaten"
Do you want your daughter to grow
up in such ignorance? Time was when
1t was considered unladylike to know
how to sweep and dust. wash dishes
and 10 the family mending; but hap
ply that day is past. and now the rich
est and most cultivated gentlewomen
have their luncheon clubs, where the
hostess of the day prepares all the
dishes eaten, each trying to outds the
other in the excellence of her menu.

Treatment for Warts.
Dear Miss 'Doon:

Dear Miss Doom:
wish you would kindly let me know
how to get rid of warts. ] have five
warts on my right hand and they are
very nasty looking. l got them
about two months ago. Two are small
and three are quite large. Please answer
in the Evening Star, and oblige a con-
slant reader. MRS. l.. j. b.
If you will apply lunar caustic to the
warts aud apply 1t faithfully you will
soon be rid of those disfigurements.
Moisten the tip of the stick by dipping
II In water and rub 1t on the warts every
morning and evening. 1t will turn them
black and make them very. unsightly at
first, but in a short time they will fall
off. Glacial acetic acid is also good for
this purpose. Apply it to the warts once
a day with a toothpick.
In making applications of either acid
or caustic be very careful not to get any
of it on the skin, as it will burn and
may result seriously.

about one hundred people gathered
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Golden b.
Croft, twenty miles north of town, Mon
day afternoon, August rs, 1912, to help
them celebrate their fiftieth wedding an
niversary.
"Mr. Croft is now seventy-two years
old and is the youngest of six living
brothers, also the second one so blessed
as to be able to celebrate his fiftieth
wedding anniversary.
"All of their children were present ex-
cept one son in Dakota. Two daughters
came from near Sioux City who had not
seen the old folks for five years. Mr..
and Mrs. Croft received many costly and
beautiful presents. An elegant set of
gold band Haviland China, another gold
band set presented by friends, a five
dollar gold piece as souvenir by some
of the business men in town, and others
too numerous to mention.
AFTER the delicious wedding dinner
(the tables being decorated in wide bands
of gold and white, with spray of Golden
Rod at each place and large wedding
bell hung over the family table, caught
up by wide bands of gold and white), the
old folks showed some antique things
such as an old coffee pot over a hundred
years in the family, a burner used in
olden times before candlesticks came in
to use, and a small hammer used then
for making button holes.
Speeches were made by many of the
old settlers which were very pathetic.
Through the management of Mrs. O. j.
Mathews everything was done beautiful
ly, and everyone would willingly have
gone farther to be at such happy gath
ering and to get a slice of that wedding
cake. "-Minatare Free Press.
