HOW WE GET THE NEWS.

Il
Day before yesterday a perfectly
nice lady called. us up and with a
tremble in her voice reproved for us
not mentioning the fact that she had
had a friend visiting her last week.
We told her that she had not let us
know anything about it and that
therefore we did not know that she
had visitor. Then she said, "Well,
you should have known. I thought
you were running a newspaper"
Wouldn't that rattle your stats?
Some people think that an editor ought
to be cross between Argus and
Anna Eva Fay. They seem to think
that our five senses are augmented
by sixth that lets US know every
thing that happens, even If we see,
hear, feel, taste or smell 1t not. Dear
lady, editors are only human, or at
least, almost human. If you have a
friend visiting you, if you are going
away, or have returned from a visit
out of town, If Johnnie falls and
breaks his arm, if your husband
chops his toe instead of a stick of
wood, If anything happens that makes
you glad, or sad, happy. or mad, cali
as up. Tell us about 1t. That's the
way to get it in the paper.-(From
many exchanges).
Don't "call US up" Write us about
II. A post card will break that phone
habit and insure correct insertion.
Phone fiends never think, they Cos
sip.

Having the Eyes Examined.

Havin9 the Eyes Examined.
II q child screws up its eyes when
looking at a distant object or, when
reading a book, has to bend closely
over 1t defect in vision should be
suspected. Sometimes the child com.
plains of headaches or eye ache, the
former usually referring to the fore
head. There may be at times slight
squirt These are also suspicious
signs. Eye strain also gives rise to in
flammation Of the lids-hence styes-
and If this condition is constantly re-
curing the sight should be properly
tested.
Unskilled advice In the matter of the
eyesight should be avoided, for perma-
nent injury Is easily effected If wrong
measures are taken. No child should
ever be allowed to wear glasses until
a doctor has examined the eyes and
has recommended the use of such.
To prevent eye strain the position in
which child does it's home work-in
regard to the lighting of the room
should always be borne in mind. Any
glare on the book or paper should be
avoided, and the light should fall
obliquely from behind.

Consideration For Others.
Train a child to notice and respect
the employment of another. II It be
merely a game there Is no need
thoughtlessly. therefore rudely, to in.
terrupt it. A little politeness one to
another, little observance Of the
wishes of others. will put aside sullen
looks and bad tempers.
We know ourselves how disagreeable
1t is to have the table shaken when we
write, to have a door left open or loud
ly banged, to have some one crossing
between Us and the light or to be con,
stantly interrupted. Our children can
not like this more than we do. Yet we
need not lose our tempers. A smiling
protest, caressing request, a little
joke over the annoyance, will prevent
it's repetition better than q sharp re-
Duke.
When children are taught to notice
these trifles they learn to avoid them
A child is pleased when you apologize
to him for unintentional awkwardness
The little seeds sink in his mind. To,
morrow he will avoid that small Of
Tense. Rough movements, unpublished
speech, detract from rather than In.
crease a child's pleasure. And it Is
these small trifles that make up the
comfort Of our homes.

Buying childrsn's Garments.


In buying goods for children the
mother should invest only In those ma.
teriaIs which are very closely woven.
Il Is not so much the weight OF the
goods as the weave. The loose weaves
pull apart In no time. and for children
they are practically useless A tight
weave need not be very heavy, but It
will wear well. II Is most important
to consider this carefully when buying.
Then. too, when a really fine piece
Of goods II found II Is better to buy In
large quantities, for another fine piece
may not be found. and the same mate
rial may be used In many, ways
For instance. from one kind Of goods
may be made two dresses for the little
daughter. each In a different style and
with different trimming. little suit
for the son and perhaps even skirt
for the mother herself. There need
never be any waste In fine goods, for
II can serve In many different ways.

Brushing the Teeth Regularly.

Brushing the Teeth Regularly.
II the child is taught early to brush
It's teeth it becomes a matter of habit,
which 1t carries through life, and the
result is fairly perfect set.
If the FIRST teeth are brushed and
Kept In good condition and dentist
visited at least once In six months
there is little danger Of the second
teeth being infected or crooked.
1t sometimes happens that first
tooth remains In the gum too long
that Is, after the second tooth shows
signs of coming through. This c0ndi
tion should not be allowed to exist. as
the first tooth Is liable to irritate the
gum. which will become sore and In,
fected. and pus will be the result.
IL the first tooth does not fall out
naturally on the appearance Of the
second the child should be taken to q
dentist and the offending tooth re-
moved.
Crowded and irregular teeth are Of
ten the result of FIRST teeth remaining
too long In the gum.

Aside from feeding. probably the
most important consideration In deyel-
oping growing horses is the. care of the
feet. says DR.. c. ". McCampbell of the
Kansas Agricultural college. Many Of
the poor feet seer in horses are the re-
suit of neglect Of the feet while these
horses were young. The toes should
not be allowed to grow .a~bnormally
long and i'll shaped. as serious trouble
may result from cracking or breaking
of the hoof. Neither should the heels
be allowed to become high. narrow, or
rolled. If these i'll shapes are not cor

SHEEP GROW GRASS
AND IMPROVE SOIL

We believe that every average east
crn farm should carry from twenty to
forty sheep without displacing any
other stock. writes a Virginia CORE
spondent of the National Stockman. OF
course some judgment must be used
by the individual, and the number
kept determined by the character and
mount of land under control.
Where fencing is good 50 sheep may
be made to follow cattle, grazing for
the latter will be improved. in that
sheep eat eight or ten times us many
kinds Of plants rs do other and larger
! stock.
Another point in favor of sheep
keeping is that they do not require
special attention during the busy sea-
son Of cropping and lm~rvesting-us

and. best of all, they furnish an in

when the average farmer has little

Chicago, Sept S.-Action was taken
Yesterday at a conference held by
state officials, livestock men, breeders
and buyers and livestock editors in an
effort to check the spread of the hoof

Of the state.
Following a spirited wrangle during
which the Illinois state livestock COM
mission was attacked for "laxity Of
duty in failing to properly prosecute
their work., and a resolution was pre-
posed assailing that body, which was
voted down, the following measures
were approved:

fccted districts.

Why Hot Water Disssolves Most Sub.
stances Quicker Than Cdld.sf Ht,
Most -honsewivcs know that sugar
will dissolve. far more quickly in hot
watcrithunS In cold, but very few know
thar salt will dissolve in cold water
/, Just as quickly as when the water is
boiling. In this salt is somewhat of
an exception, for most substances dis
solve much more easily when water is
hot.
The reason for this was Il mystery in
the middle ages, and it is only since
the modern knowledge Of molecules
that it could be explained.
Heat is nothing more nor less than
an increase in the speed with which
the molecules are revolving. This is
easily seen in molnsscs. When very
cold it will hardly tlow at all, when
warmed it will pour slowly, but When
boiling hot it Will pour in Il thin strip
almost as liquid as milk. In the same
way boiling water is more liquid than
cold water.
AS GiSSolving II piece OF sugar means
that the sugar enters into the tiny
spaces between the molecules of the
wafer. the more quickly they are NOV
ing the easier it is for the sugar to get
1t. For. it must he remembered. you
can ill q: glass to II certain level, and
after that put in two, three OF even
Gour Jumps of sugar and the glass will
be 40 fuller than before.
The reason for this is shown by
merely thinking Of the process on a
large scale. Suppose II bowl were filled
full of marbles. You could pour Il lvt
of bird shot into it without making the
marbles rise any higher in the bowl.
The Shot would he filling in all the lit
tie cracks between the marbles, and IL
you stirred the marbles slowly the
shot would little by little find It's place.
That is like the sugar in cold water.
But if the marbles were being whirl-
ed around rapidly the shot would rap
idly ill every place and the bowl
would hc full of shot. Yet the marbles
would not he any higher In the bowl.
Then. after all that. you could pour
water into the bowl and it would get
into the small spaces between the
round shot, and still the marbles would
not he any higher III the bowl.
1t is in this way that substances
which have been dissolved find their
way into the liquids into which they
have been lisSolved.-New York Amer
