A COOKING EXPERT.

Mrs. Caroline Blair Downing, head
of the laboratory kitchen at the San
Diego Exposition, is one If IA large
number of women who, being called on
to become self-supporting late in life,
I have made an unusual success in the
business world. She was born in Viz
ginia and moved To Denver Will"
quite young. There she married n
man Of large wealth and became am
active leader in the civic and philan-
thropic work of Denver. When free
cooking schools were established in
Denver h was the chairman of tn"
committee Of cluhwomcn who took
charge of the work. AS soon as this
work proved it's usefulness she cstah-
lishcd a number of kitchen gardens in
which she had the children of poor
and foreign parents taught cooking
and housekeeping.
1t was from this humble beginning
that the Colorado school of Domestic
Science was evolved. When the
kitchen at Wolf Han. then "A new

ttTHE first thing for the mother
of a deaf child to know is
that even though the child
Is totally deaf from birth it can never
thelesS be taught to speak and to un-
derstand when others speak to it,"
said DR.. John Dutton Wright, direc-
lor Of the American Association to
Promote the Teaching of Speech to the
Deaf, whose book What the Mother
ot a Deaf Child Should Know" has
attracted considerable attention.
IF the deaf child is otherwise nor
NAL physically and mentally 1t can be
given as good an education by the
speech method, without the use Of any
form Of manual communication, as il
II were not deaf. While deafness is a
serious misfortune it is neither a sin
nor a disgrace to be ashamed Of. The
earlier the facts are known and
squarcly faced the better.
When "A mother first suspects that
her ch'ld's hearing is not perfectly
normal what should she do? The best
available ear specialist should be ON
suited at once to determine whether

~"Gradually the deaf baby can be
taught to understand many simple
commands and questions. Just as hear
Ing babies learn them, by constant rep
etition at times and und,r ill cum
stances when the meaning Is obvious.
Such as come GO go to papa,

hat and all the other little things that
"A normal baby hears throughout :hc
, whole day.
Tho tendency of the deaf child Is
to grow az with less development Of
lungs and of Imagination than hearing
children. In order to overcome this
tendency the child must be encouraged
and taught TO play games and use
toys that develop the lungs and in
crease the powers of imagination.
Supply the child with brightly col
orcd windmills that he may set them
whirling by blowing Justify. The rub
her balloon Is good for this purpose
ever though its squeak is ~torturIng to
those in the same vicinity. Blowing
soap bubbles, especially trying TO blow
big ones, is another good exercise for
the lungs. Teach him To play ronipinc
games where he will feel an inclination
to shout and call. Dancing is desira-
BILE for the deaf child; marching TO the
beat of his drum is also good. Tops
and tenpins cultivate dcyterl,y, as do
playing ball and rolling hoop.
His creative Imagination can he
greatly helped by the early use of COL

sand pile, or "A large shallow sand box,
perhaps tlve feet square, with sides
six inches high and completely lined

incentive for constructive play.
Building blocks, cut up picture puz-
zlcs, tracing states with large and
simple designs are all good for
rultivating the creative Imagination
and ingenuity of the young child.
Where the child Is leaf their use
fulncss is much greater than to the
normal child,
There Is n strong and not %unnatu-
raj tendency 10 maintain an attitude
toward "A deaf child different from
that maintained by sensible mothers
toward normal children. They often
set up II different standard Of condurt
and of Obligation for the afflicted child.

the cause can be removed and nor
NAL hearing restored. In the meantime
precious days and weeks are passing
in which something could be done for
the little one Internationally without in
any way interfering with the medical
efforts at relief. The two things can
be and should he carried on stimuli
taneously.
IF normal hearing is restored no
harm has been done by the educa-
tional training; in fact, the develop
ment OF the child has been advanced.
On the other hand If the hopes that
were entertained are disappointed
then precious and recoverable time
has not been lost.
How should the mother begin her
work for the deaf child? First of all
she should take an inventory Of the
other faculties of the child. Has he
good sight, normal smell, taste, N
cular sense and memory? Say she
begins by testing his sight. She wants
to find out II he can distinguish rca-
sonably small objects at reasonable
distances; where he can see moder-
ately small things short distances;
whether the angle Of his vision Is
normal.
IF he can recognize his father or
mother or brothers Or sisters at "A dis

of sound should be the same. During
this time the child with sound hearing
makes rapid progress in learning to
understand what is said to him and
by the time he is > years old has
usually begun To speak many words
and sentences in a more or less Inn
perfect way. This has been accom-
pllshed principally by the mother
constant talking to her baby.
IF a mother suspects that her
child's hearing is not normal she
should not talk TO him any the less,
but on the contrary she should talk TO
him more. She should, however, speak
a little louder, a little nearer to him.
possibly a little more slowly and dis
tinctly, exercising the greatest care
not to eXaggerate speech into un-
natural facial contortions or to ac-
company 1t by gestures. To fall
into the habit OF mouthing and gcstiC-
ulating will defeat the effort to develop
ar understanding of speech by the
child. And so-called baby talk"
Here DR.. Wright stopped and shook
his head as though his disgust for
such attempts AT communication with

in words.
when speaking TO a deaf child
every n should take great pains to
speak normally and naturally" Or.
Wright went on. THAT point cannot
be too strongly emphasized. Above all
the mother should form the habit Of
watching the child's eye and of speak
ing as often as possible when his gaze
is fastened on her face, The habit on
his part of looking az the face Of the
speaker and the habit on his mothers
part Of observing his gaze and when
1t wanders of pausing in her talk till
he is looking again are two very
valuable aids in the language develop
ment of the deaf child,
"In addition to always raising her
voice when speaking to her baby the
mother should several times a day

part of Okanogan county. If it were
not for unfaltering confidence and a

mining a source of great fortunes in

in casting our eyes over Okanogan
and the valley from the coigne of
vantage, the highest bump of that
bridge of size, while hoofipg it into
Okanogan last week, memory slipped
back to the time in the spring OF 1888
when we first saw the site upon which
Okanogan now stands. There has
been some change in the valley since
those days, such as you would notice,
and old land marks have been obliter-
ated by the forward march OF civiliza-
point on ferry TO the first house
seen after leaving the Columbia river
at Wild Goose Bill's ferry. The white
man was a rare bird at that date in
this part of the state. There was
residence and store at the crossing,
the home and property of Pard Cum
mings, still in the county and a pros
porous merchant at Riverside. Pard
carried quite stock in those days,
and the bulk of that stock was of an
assortment to especially appeal to the
Indian. We had known Pard prior to
our breaking into the wilderness, and
it was like meeting a long lost rela-
tive to run across him in this out of
the way corner of the earth. The
premises were thrown wide open to
us, and the foregathering took on very
much the nature of celebration. This

Of nowhere justified the prodigal act,
and Pard put up the best the country
would afford. While realizing the
possibilities of future for the beauti-
full valley, where few white men had
yet set foot as permanent residents,
we hardly imagined at that time where
Pard Cummings house stood would
eventually spring up a flourishing
town which was to become the county
seat, of a large and well settled coun-

There will be no senior and junior
