Reasonable Punishmsnts.

Whatever reproach or privation we
impose upon a child must be clearly
connected with the ofense. The child
should always know Just exactly why
1t is being punished Moreover, the
punishment should not be so long de-
ferred that the child can lose the con-
nection between its offense and the
punishment
Nothing that Affects a child's health,
such as interference with meals or
with sleep, should be used as a punish
ment. Nor should useful work or
study be discredited by being used as
a means Of punishment
We must remember that punishment
Is like medicine. There Is one punish
ment that fits all cases or all children.
Each case must be studied by itself,
and the punishment must be made to
1T the offense and also the offender.

REDUCING the Neck.

Too much flesh on the neck Is a great
obstacle to beauty. 1t is almost as bad
In appearance as a scrawny throat and
Is much more difficult to remedy. 1t Is
a far simpler thing TO put flesh. on a
woman's throat than to take 1t on, for
II the tissues are fed with a good
grease, such as cocoa butter, the neck

On the other hand. only exercise Of
the most vigorous sort will reduce fat
on the throat
For a tendency to double chin and to
tighten the muscles which have be-
come loosened In a labby neck try this
simple but efticacious exercise: Throw
the head back as far as it Will 60.

the head slowly as far to the right as It
VIII go, then as far to the left Repeat
TO the number OF ten times, increasing
as you become accustomed 70 the
strain.
Bathing the neck frequently with a
piece OF Ice Is excellent for keeping the
flesh firm and for removing habbiness.

plainly of Slaap.

Nine o'clock should be bed hour for
all school children, with Friday and
Saturday nights as the only possible
exceptions. The hours from the con-
clusion Of supper TO retiring time should
be sufficient for preparing lessons.
Then. too, II the child comes In from
play at or half past there should be an
hour before supper In which to study.
1t is an excellent rule to forbid the
reading Of any story books outside the
school course, except on Saturdays and
Sundays. The child who Is fond Of
reading is apt to become so engrossed
In book that he viii neglect exercise
and study for the completion OF the
book. But II a strict rule Is made and
enforced that no reading shall be done
through the week except that which Is
necessary for lessons the child win
find time for fresh air and sleep.

Food For Health and Beauty.
Beauty must always be attended BY
a good complexion, and to have this
the digestive organs must work prop
erly. Much damage is done to the
digestion by overeating, by eating Of
highly seasoned food or by eating food
that IS hard to digest
Among the many wholesome vege-
tables spinach ranks first, net alone
for its palatableness, but because It
contains many valuable medicinal
ingredients. While spinach contains
nine-tenths water, the remaining tenth
contains iron, inter and mineral salts.
It has been said that one who partakes
freely Of spinach win have no liver
trouble and that constipation will be
unknown, also the complexion will be
clear and the eyes bright Beet tops,
too, are quite as beneficial as spinach
Oranges are healthfuL Most persons
do not eat enough Of them to derive
benefit. The proper time to eat or
anges has been freely discussed, but
the best way to decide this disputed
point is. to note carefully the effect OF
eating them at various periods OF the
day and govern oneself accordingly.
An orange poultice is valued In India
and recommended for use In skin dis
eases. Some women give credit for
their beautiful and clear complexion
to drinking the Juice from at least six
oranges each day. and then at night
sponging the face with orange Juice.

Must Be Grated When About Two
Years Old to Obtain Flowers.
Orange plants thrive In a mixture OF
rich loan and old manure, but care
Is necessary not to disturb them or to
give them too much water when not In
a growing state.
Oranges raised from seed win not
flower for several years unless budded
or grated when about two years old
Plants propagated from cuttings can
be stuck In sand with gentle bottom
heat and win flower and fruit much
sooner than any others, but scarcely
ever attain a large size.
Florists would pot two inch orange
plants In thumb pots. These dry out

INDOOR PLANTS.

Dry Air May BE Artf6eially MoiStsned
For Their Benefit.
One reason why many plants die In
the house during the winter Is because
Of steam heat This Is the driest Of all
kinds OF heat, giving out absolutely no
moisture. but quickly drying out all
dampness In the air Of room Even
with the windows open the fresh sup
ply OF moist air coming in IL not suf1-
cient to combat the drying process OF
the steam heat
To remedy this the plant owner must
provide the moisture for the air. By
laying wet cloths on the radiators the
heat coming forth win be moist heat,
which Is not half so harmful either to
plant or to person as the dry kind
These cloths win have to be remoisten-
ed often It depends largely on the
amount Of heat In the radiator.
This will do much to keep the indoor
plants alive through the winter. The
rest depends on the watering. One
woman says she has always managed
to keep her Boston ferns for at least a
year by placing the Jar In a small pan
Of water. She does not give them any
water from above, but leaves this little
pan below so that the plant draws up
water as IT needs It.
Another way. which has been adopt
ed by many plant owners with great
success. Is to put the whole plant in
the bathtub twice a week, let the wa
ter run until it just covers the top of
the jar and then let it out leaving the
plant to drain or before resoring to its
stand No other water Is given 1t
through the week, just these two baths.

and If a shower bath is not to be had

INSPECTING THE RANGE.

Timely Prseautien That Viii Insure
Brisk Fires and Fuel Economy.
Have your kitchen range examined
regularly, for upon 1t depends much OF
the cooks success. Chimneys, drafts
and CRATES should be In perfect condi-
ton, for not only Is this a time saving
necessity. but it also economies coal
and wood
Most apartments and many houses
depend entirely upon the gas range for
cooking purposes, and It, should be
thoroughly inspected from time to
time. The various parts Of a modern
gas range can be replaced when brok-
en- or worn out, and this Is OF great
advantage over the older makes that
had TO be discarded entirely when only
partially worn out All gas ranges are
connected free Of charge. which Is an
other great saving.
