teach the mothers instead of the children.

BY one of those condolences which oe-
cur so often 1 was talking the day this
letter came to me with the father Of
small boy. He was telling of the children
in the neighborhood where he lived and
described how they " rampaged through
his house. They were his little sons
playmates and seemed to feel free to
enter the house whenever they pleased
and go through 1t from top to bottom. lay
ing hands on anything that pleased their
fancy and behaving as it pleased them.
They even go to the pantry and help
themselves to cake" he said. Then he
asked me what | would do about it II
] were in his wfe's place. did not like
to say too plainly what I thought-that
IL his own child had been properly trained
such liberties would not be taken by the
visitors. l cannot imagine one of my
children attempting such thing any more
than / could see myself or my brothers
and sisters being permitted to follow
like courses A we'll trained child is taught
respect for the property of others and is
never allowed to run riot in his own house
any more than in that Of a stranger. He
may break bounds once in a while. but it
passes my comprehension how any
mother can sit by and permit it, as in the
case of the children described by the cor
respondent l would like much to know IL
the Cornerites think the instances she
cites are the rule or the exception.

children in my day. but never such law
lessness as the tales I have copied and
quoted. Let me hear freely from other
mothers and other observers and then
compare notes and see whether the fault
lies and how it can be cured.

Peroxide for Sinh.
Here is discovery which have made
lately which 1 think must be original. as
I have never heard Of 1t before and only
found it out by accident. The work do
causes my sink to become dreadfully dis
coored, and after l have washed it out
l pour in tablespoon of peroxide and
wash the sink with that and like magic
It becomes as white as if it were new.
Here is recipe you may like to use. get
for family Of eight. break it apart in at
least two quarts of cold water, add large
onion sliced up, and cook slowly an hour.
Fifteen or twenty minutes before 1t is
done salt and pepper 1t to taste and add
noodles. To prepare them / use one egg
well beaten, one tablespoon Of cold water,
pinch of salt. three tablespoons Of -four
sfted with one teaspoon Of baking pow
der, and quarter teaspoon of grated
nutmeg. Don't forget the nutmeg, for it
is what makes the noodles delicious. Roll
out the dough as thin as paper. dust over
thickly with flour. roll into long roll and
cut across with sharp knife Shake the,
noodles apart into the boiling stew, cover
closely, and let 1t simmer for at least
fifteen minutes undisturbed taking pains
that the noodles don't scorch

These suggestions are ne1prul and we
are glad to get them. l was also inter-
ested in the personal part of the letter
accompanying the recipes and pleased to
know of the happiness the writer feels In
helping those less fortunate than herself
