Important discoveries may be made
in these outpourings. She gives
sympathy, enters into his feelings,
sees things from his point of view
If he tells her of something which
proves that he is ia fault, she does
not reprimand at the time, because
this will check further condolences.
She gives her attention quietly, tells
him she is glad he has confded in
her, and that she will talk of it again
with him. If a mother has insight
she can solve many problems. She
is interested in her boys sports, col
lections, his school and companions.
The choice of his companions should
not be left to chance 1t is well if
they are from families known to his
parents.

FATIGUE SHOWN AS POISON
Medical Men Unanimously of Opinion
That q Deadly Toxin 10 the Result
of Overvwors<-

Medical men are announcing that
there is a definite toxin produced in
the human body as result of ia
tigue. A toxin is a poison that i'm
pairs the tissues and ultimately af-
fects the health and the industrial
efficiency of the worker.
1t is the argument on which the
labor unions base the demand for
laws to limit the working day of the
toiler to ten, nine or eight hours. A
particular appeal is made on behalf
of women in industry, whose fitness
for maternity is dangerously dimin-
ished by overwork and exhaustion.
A number of states have passed such
laws limiting the hours of women's
work from 81 to So or 60 week.
There is one class of woman toiler
on whose hours of labor no limit is
set. The housekeeper and mother
of family is frequently as much
or more menaced by the toxin of IA
tigue than is the woman in the fac
tory. There is only one way to be-
gin to regulate her hours,' by sim
plifying living conditions. Rough
dry" all the unstarched laundry, and
limit the 'white clothes" of every
member of the family. Eliminate
elaborate cooking. Throw away the
useless bric-a-brac And insist on
complete equipment of labor
saving devices for doing your house
work. They will cost something, but
when they are worn out they can be
replaced.
A worn-out woman, especially a
mother, never can be replaced

A Plea For Rain
Jnne II, 1913.

Jnne IL, 1910
Editor World:
The need of rain for crops and pas
lures prompted me to write this let
ter l have been told that during
the Civil war that when there was a
heavy battle fought there was a
heavy rain followed. And we used to
celebrate the Fourth of July by fir
ing cannon Tor as some say by shoot
ing off anvils, by pouring handful
of gunpowder on the ground and set
ting a blacksmith's anvil over the
powder and setting it atire, it Jared
the earth and made a report that
could be heard for miles around.
This firing cannons as it was called
usually commenced about r O'Clock in
the morning and was kept up until
about 9 or 10 O'Clock in the day. At
ter such celebrations we Away got a
heavy rain, oftentimes we could not
fore the rain would come; we always
got a good rain that day or night, al
though it might have been so dry
that we had not had good rain be-
fore nor did not get good rain the
rest of the summer.
If l was asked to explain how this
could bring rain Il haven't the words
to explain it properly l would say ]
think it was caused by the general
jar of the earth. This would not do
any good for few places to try it,
but if every station along the line of
the Union Pacific railroad from Den
yer to Salina and on the Missouri Pa
cifc railroad would set a day and
hour and commence the work to-
gether, / believe we would get a gen.
eral good rain in less than twenty
four hours, or by carrying this meth
cd out we could get good rain every
two weeks, and that woulo make this
western country the richest country
in the United States.
Now, if bankers Wilson and Hille
and other business men of Wa-Kee-
ney will try to influence every town
along these railroad lines and all
work together the rain problem will
be solved and western Kansas will
get a good rain whenever she needs it.
How many will try to carry out this
system to get rain. please don't
say / don't think it will do any good)
Just say l am in favor of giving it a
good trial and will do ali that l can.
My faith is so strong that this system
will bring rain that it has prompted
me to encourage men that can have
it carried out by their work and in
fluence and we will all be blessed

Mrs. Lucy A. Speer.
