service stationed at Evansville. Ind;
Louisville, KY; Cairo. Ill.,. and Memphis,

Household and Mental Order.

Froebel father of child-study," said that inward clearness proceeds from outward order," and there is truth enough in the observation to give food for thought in the careless, untidy mother and father. FroebePs saying was connected, no doubt with his in- sistence that the child's play and work materials in the kindergarten should be taken out In perfect order and so returned at the close of the exercises, and Dr. Montessori, the Italian educa- t1onist, whose method is working a change in the teaching of children, re- quires the same thing In her Houses of Childhood" There must indeed be a potent influence in an orderly pune tual, wisely-administered household, and there is no question that children brought up in such an atmosphere do show clearness in their mental pro- cesses. Fortunately, this is an inf1u- ence which is independent of riches or poverty and so can be exerted by any mother.

 MT. Smith, shivering in his pajamas bent over the washstand, trying to prepare cotton filling for his son and a mustard plaster for his babe, when his wife's voice, scarcely audible above the uproar, reached him.

HOPE TO RAISE LARGE SUM
Millions of Red Cross Christmas Seals to Be Sold for Anti-Tubercu-
 Iosis Work.

Few people have any idea. of the magnitude of the Red Cross Christmas seal campaign. This year over 100,- 100000 seals have been printed and distributed. If placed end-to-end these seals would extend nearly 2,400 miles, or practically from New York to Salt Lake City. They have been sent to over 25,000 different agents and will be sold and handled by an army of not less than 100000 volun- teers, including men, women and chill dren. Millions of advertising circu- lars have been scattered throughout the country, and so thoroughly has the advertising campaign been or
 Anized that it is doubtful if many people in the more populous states of the country will not have heard of the Red Cross seal and it's mission in the prevention of tuberculosis. It is hoped that at least 50,000,000 seals may be sold this year The principle upon which the sale of seals is based is that every cent except what little is needed to cover the actual cost of printing and handling shall be spent for tuberculosis work in the commu- nity where the seals are sold
