Character forming 2 D In Youth.

It was a saying of Froebers that the character of a man or woman Is fixed at six years of age, thus putting the formative period very early in the de veIopment of the child.
 Most mothers do not believe this dic- tum or ignore 1t, as they intrust their children to nurses more during those first six years than at any other time, There are, however, un increasing number of women who realize that good habits are more easily formed and good impressions more easily made in very early childhood than later on. So now careful mothers are arranging to supervise as thoroughly as possible the nurseries of their babies and to take an active shure in the training of the little ones.
 One modern mother, though possess ed Of ample means, refuses to employ a regular nurse. She takes entire charge of her two little children, girl of four and a boy of two. This is not the result of theory on her part, but an outgrowth from her own experience. Brought up ln a luxurious household, waited on "hand and fooF' by an at tentive nurse, she was suddenly sent oT to boarding gschooisat the age of fourteen.
 q shall never forget" she says, ''my terrible modification at not being able to dress myself properly or even to comb my own hair. I used to cry my self to sleep at night and dread get ting up in the morning to encounter that awful problem Of getting neatly into my clothes"
 Determined that her children shall never be helpless, she has taught these little mites to look after themselves in quite a wonderful way.
 Some years ago Punch had q picture of two small boys and a young lady asking one of themi 'How old is your little friend, Tohmy?" To which Tom
The daily Alaskan., 1915-10-15

my replies, ''I do not know, but think he must be pretty old, because he can blow his own pose!"
 Judged by this standard, the boy of two referred to above would be pretty old" while the girl would be positively aged. It has taken an iufnity of pa- tence to get these children to the point of efficiency which they now enjoy, but it has certainly paid the mother for all her trouble. It is much easier to take a child and dress 1t than 1t is to sit by and see 1t tumble itself into its garments. These two. children are still bathed in the tub but otherwise, as the Scotch say, they. -sOrt" themselves.
 There are many practical details to be considered in such work Clothes must be made simple, so as to offer as few difficulties to little fingers as may be. The faucets in the bathroom are not only an obstacle to a>child. but also a temptation to play with water and mess clean frOcks, 80 washing Rp- paratus must be arranged. -.,
 The particular mother whose meth ods are quoted above obtained a kin dergarten table such as that on which the children play their games. It has the advantage of being exactly the right height and at the same time of being both solid and stable. Painted white this answered for a washstRnd. Then came the question of utensils. StonewGre was too heavy, and china, though light enough to be easily han dled, was quickly broken by ineIpert little hands.
 The answer to this problem came from enameled ware, which is made nowadays in a number of attractive colors. Pretty enameled' basins and pitchers, not too large to be lifted even when full, make implements the chI- dren can safely manage. Soap dish, toothbrush mug and slop pail complete the outfit. Nothing can be broken, nothing Is heavy, and yet all is clean, fresh and inviting. 2
 The little girl worked her initials on her little face cloths in cross stitch, and "brother" will do the sarnO when sufficiently advanced Supper is al. ways eaten in the nursery, and these tots set their own table, another hn-f dergarten table, and theiF table uten- sils are also enameled ware:in attFRc- tive coIors, so that cups and BaucsFs, plates and pitchers can be-manipulated. without risk. ..rss
 They are very earnest about thts task of setting table, and woe beide the child whose dishes are not set 1T. . the proper order by the waitress OF waiter of the day!
 Visitors say, How cunning, bow clever the dear little things sreI" 6aEf not one in a dozen realizes stheEwotkl and the patience that are put in the training. ... 4.
 Rich will be the reward when the children are older. The independence they have acquired will Do more val uable to them than a fortune, for lt will be fortune that cannot Dc lost.

The train is something new to many O' them. One native said yesterday that he had seen motion pictures Of trains at Ruby, but he never saw. one actually in operation before.

INDICATIONS Of
An EARLY SPRING
Great Prosperity Ahead for
Western Canada.

Tho most recent advices from all
points in Western Canada report that
conditions are apparent for an early
spring. Farmers are going over the
implements, getting their seeders
ready for operation, the plows in shape
for extended breaking, and there is a
general optimism. A great many new
settlers have already arrived, and the
reports from Canadian Government
agents in the United States point to
the fact that in a few days there will
begin the usual emigration from va
rious of the Central and Western
states. From the Eastern states the
will be greater than in any past year.
There has been a fairly large snow
fall during the winter, which will
greatly add to the precipitation Of
last fall, which in the opinion of old
timers was in itself sufficient to in
sure q good crop during the present
year.
There will be very little titled land
that will be without crop this year.
The authorities, though, are pleading
with the farmers to seed only such
land as has had careful preparation, for
rich as is the soil of Western Canada,
1t is no more fitted to produce good
crops uncultivated than is that of any
other land anywhere else. There
have been accounts of failures in some
portions Of the agricultural districts Of
Western Canada, and also reports Of
small yields in some districts A good
deal Of this is accounted for from the
fact that Notwithstanding the advice
Of men Of experience, there ares farm.
ers who will persist in seeding land not
properly prepared. This may be done
this year, but those who cultivate on
reasonable and logical methods will
be certain Of q paying crop. There is
every reason to believe that the high
prices OF all kinds Of grain will con-
tinue. '%F&= G
With thousands and thousands Of
acres Of land waiting for the husband.
man to bring it forth with q crop. it
is no wonder that Western Canada is
continuing to pnove such an inviting
field for the agriculturist. ..
Seventy million dollars Is con-
sentative estimate of orders which
came to Canada as the direct result
of the war. Governments Of the al
lies have been placing large orders in
Canada and buying huge quantities of
supplies for cash.
The total value OF exports to Eu-
rope from Canada has jumped about
Is per cent since the war started.
while in certain lines the increases
have been enormous.
Therefore the results Of the demand
Of the allies for war and other material
Is beginning to be felt in the financial
life Of the Dominion. There is marked
activity in many commercial lines, and
conditions are fast becoming normal.
Western Canada is receiving q rela-
tive benefit to the East.-Advertiss-
ment.
