Cured Mangc tn Cat.

F. O. M asks for a remedy for . cat which has the mango. Ten years ago a small mongrel cat which was a pet in our family contracted this disease No one else would touch 1t. so I, who was then a girl about IA years old. decided it was up to me to do something for the poor creature. It appeared to suffer greatly. I mixed new lard with sulphur and ap- piled it with a cloth on a stick. A brush could be used instead. My family said 1t was not much good to doctor the cat. as when affected in that way they hardly ever lived beyond the stage this cat had come to. But in few weeks 1t was well.
 and not more than a month ago this same
 cat died of old age. We had all thought a great deal of Tabby. This remedy men, tion is the only sure one l have ever heard of. Don't be afraid to put on lots of the mixture. enjoy the Corner so much. could write to a shut-ln. man or

chiid's companions. When you who ara mothers now were girls did you not love to go about with boys and girls of your own age? Why should not your ohil- dren seek the same enjoymentT How much harm did you get from it? If you know your childrens playmates and friends and make them welcome to tho home you will soon find out which are safe and which dangerous companions. and if you have kept your children close to you In their thoughts and deeds they will be swayed by your judgment in their friendships as well as in everything else.
 As to the idea of boys and girls becom- ing !" sweethearts !" too young. feel strongly. To my mind it is . profaning of sacred things to talk of love mak- ing between children. to speak of them as "lovers' and sweethearts when they arc little more than Infants. find 1t vulgar. Let the boys and the girls play together naturally. like brothers and sisters. or friends. They will have their preference in their intimacies. but thsre Is no reason for any notion of love mak- ing being introduced. If q girl is taught self-respect and tho sanctlty of tho per- 
 way there Is no reason in the world why they should not associate on terms of happy companionship through childhood and youth.
 good deal may be said on the question of work. I heard a lecturer remark not long ago that worse punishment was never devised than that of work to be performed because children had been naughty. By using occupation of any kind as a penalty he asserted-and with truth-that work Is stigmatzed and made hateful to childhood.
 There Is no reason why work should be looked upon as punishment. A child should be given certain duties and made to feel responsible for those. At an early age both boys and girls can hava their place in the home. their share in keeping it in order: their right to con sider 1t their own not only as habitation but also as a spot where they belong and where they can bring their friends and live their own life. 80 far as this Is com patible with the comfort of others. The mother who fails to implant this feeling in her children makes as big a mistake as the parent who spells her children and  gives them too much indulgence in tha home. The wise course lies between the two extremes.
 I don't think I altogether sympathize with the mother who made her child sweep the room seven times. Why did she not teach the girl how to do 1t right in the first place. check her if she held the broom wrong or swept carelessly. and show her how to correct mistakes as she went along? It would have been a less dscouraging experience for all concerned Childrens work is moro plague than profit !" is an old saying. but the parent must recollect that 1t is not her own profit but the welfare of the child she is seeking and take the added care as part of the process towards a nnal good.

haby of q few months old to 20 with her doctor husband to organize relief work in the fighting countries of Europe.
 "I don't see how she could bring her self to leave that tiny child sighed ono "If 1t had been old enough to look after itself. 1t would have been different but it was wicked to leave helpless babyF'
 Other women commented in tho same way. but finally ono who had listened to tho others without expressing an opinion spoke up decidedly.
 ~I don't agree with any of you" she said. If the baby had been old enough to know and miss his mother 1t would have been a serious matter. Whilo ne was only q few months old he could be cared for by a trained nurse. who would y,ve him even better attention than his mother could have provided. AS un- derstand, the child was in the best Kind of hands and if the woman felt her duty to her husband called her to go with him she was doing the child much less harm than she would have done by leav- ing him when he would have known her and missed her. My condemnation goes to the women who neglect their half grown sons and daughters for the sake of helping some cause outside of the home"
 She had right on her side. However we may feel as to leaving the baby, there can be no doubt that it Is a more serious error on the childs account to commit him to the mercy of strangers when he is older and can be moved and molded by outside infuences-
 I know 1t Is not always easy for tho mother who has many interests to set them aside for those of her children. Yet she should remember that the chill dren and their welfare are her first care and that no matter at what sacrifice she should keep them with her or else go with them. The moving picture and the baseball game may be with us every day and every evening, but they are shorn of any damage they might do if the mother shares them with her children so far as she can and when she cannot go is eager to hear report of the sports or entertainment afterwards.
 More than this. she should know her

 This letter touched me deeply. 1t is hard enough to be separated from child at the best of times. but when blindness is impending to have to send child away from one for two years on the chance of her recovering her sight seems a strain almost too severe to be borne. I grieve. too. for tho expectation of the little girl on her birthday and the disappointment that came instead. am sure that If there is any one who can send the odd pieces of materials with which the mother longs to make up to her child for the failure of tho birthday gift the response will be prompt.
