How to Make Uut Home Credit Card.

At the request of number of the
patrons of the school the following
explanatory notes concerning the
"Home Credit Cards. is offered in
tn. hopes that greater number of
parents will avail themselves of the
use of this most excellent system.
1t seems that the most of the diff
Guilty centers around the apportion-
ing of the time spent on the different
home duties and the record of the
same. This will be very simple
if the parents will simply try to en-
courage some regular tasks, some
thing that the child will do every
day aud then in the column headed
Daily and Weekly chores, put the
time spent on this task. For in
stance; your boy may spend fifteen
or twenty minutes daily in milking
and taking care of the COW. If SO,
simply put down the name of the
chore in the proper space and the
time, twenty minutes, in the column
under ssDaily'. This can be done
at the end of the month. The teach
er will do the adding up of the
different times. If your child has
duty that takes 80 minutes every
Saturday or twice week, put the
time ia the column under weekly.
SPECIMEN.

Any of the teachers will at any
time be glad to explain the plan
to any who do not understand it. A
wonderful lot of good can be accom-
plished if you will do your part.
We will gladly give FIVE minutes
credit for the daily washing of the
child's teeth or on getting up in the
at the first call. Thus the
habit of doing the right things at
a regular time will be instilled in
the child, and he will take ali entire
Iy different view of work both at
home and at school. II

Woman Is Bitter Enemy Of Chief
sebastian's Alleged
Paramour

Los Angeles, April 2S.-Mrs. Mar
tina Olivera, who although sister.
has been characterized by Mrs. Lii
lie Pratt as bitter enemy, went up
on the stand as a witness for the
prosecution yesterday in the trial of
Mrs. Pratt and Charles F. Sebastian
suspended chief of police, who are
charged with having contributed to
the dependency of Edith Serkiu, ne
II year old half sister OF the two
women.
Mrs. Olivera first identified Sobas-
tian as the nan she had seen meet
Mrs. Pratt and 20 automobile riding
with her last August. Then she pro
ceeded to detail other occurrences,
conversations, and incidents which
were brought out by the prosecution
with the avowed purpose not only tC
strengthen the story of Miss Serkin
relative to trysts at an apartment
next to police headquarters, but to
forestall an anticipated attempt Of
the defense to prove that Mrs. Pratt
who is alleged to have led the girl
into the arms of Sebastian, had only
slight acquaintance with the n, GUS
ed police official.
Mrs. Olivera succeeded on the
stand Cecil Lewis, Mrs. Pratts for
mer chauffeur, who, on redirect en-
animation, related an incident con
corning some rings. This is said to
have occurred last January and he
declared he overheard Mrs. Pratt say
to Mrs. Emma Carroll, another sis
ter:
Here take back these rings. 7

A wonderful Introductory offer ny
during Hotpoint week.
This new combination Electric
Stove and Grill does boiling, broil.
.ng and frying; II makes waffIes,
pops corn, makes toast.
And any two Of these operations
may be performed at the same
time, one above the other below
the glowing coils.
For cooking below the coils there
Is a special DISH called the Under
dish, large, deep, made Of steel
(seamless) and with an ebon,te
handle Of liberal size.
Cooking on top Of FL GriIlstovo
may be done In any Of the dishes
found In every kitchen. With any
OF these, not excepting granite
ware, this stove Is far more eff
Client than disc stoves are with
aluminium or special dishes.
And there Is a reflector, nickel
plated, and finished In mirror pol
ish, to use on the opposite side Of
the coils when only one operation
Is being performed This reflects
the radiant heat upon the cooking
being done, and adds greatly to
the efficiency.
So FL erilIstovo not only makes
the electricity do double ruty by
utilizing its heat both above and
below, not only Is It disable with
any ordinary dishes, and not only
will II perform a great variety Of
cooking operations, but In add
ton to all these 1t Is highly eff

That 10 why II operates success
fully, does the regular fam Iy cook
Ing In the kitchen, with current
from any ordinary lamp socket.
And FL Grillstovo Is also fine for
use right on the table for many
cooking operations, while the ad
dtion Of No. 4 Ell chafo will con-
vert II into an excellent Chatting
Dish; better than ordinary Chatting
Dishes because 4 will make the
Welsh Rabbit complete, including
the toast.
Its Heating Element Is Of the
glowing coil type and reaches full
heat In a few seconds; there Is no
current used except While actually
needed.

tion in scientific organization original

vention in Pittsburg, on December ..

America have been invited to present
Christian citizenship to their conSre-
cations on December as an integral
part of the great national movement
fostered by the National Reform as
sociation. The Rev. W. 7. Tapscott
of Dallas has been asked to preach a
special sermon on "Christian Citi-
zenship" on December 5, and thus the
spirit of the convention and the es-
sence of its worldwide message will
be brought in Dallas.
