FRESH AIR AND SLEEP.

The question of sleep is a great fac
tor in maintaining the Children's health.
or course, healthy newborn babies sleep
almost constantly; as they grow older
they require, besides a long nights sleep,
from four to five hours during the day
time. Even children five and six years
OF age. especially If they are not abso-
lutely robust, should be induced to rest
for an hour in the afternoon.
Remember that growth takes place dur
ing sleep. 1t is not only a period of
rest. but CT development. This at once
must convince all mothers of the grave
necessity of putting children to bed early
in the evening. The horrible practice of
permitting them to sit up until all bOurs
of the night, partaking of excitements.
of indigestible foods. etc, cannot too
strongly be condemned.
In one household of my acquaintance.
the children are permitted TO sit up I'M
til midnight, when the father returns
from his work. They are then allowed
to eat heavy luncheon. and. of course,
to enter into the talk of their elders.
These children are all understood and
are always in the doctors hands In
this case the foolish mother simply shrugs
her shoulders and says she can do no
differently. To be sure, she began wrong.
and It is difficult to change the fixed

a question of health, indeed of life,
nothing should interfere. and the house

can be established and upheld.
The ventilation of the bedroom dur
ing all times, but especially during sleep.
is also highly important. We are just
beginning TO appreciate the value of fresh
air and sunshine. Many an invalid has
been completely restored TO health by
living and sleeping out of doors, and
yet there are still an endless number
of people who sleep in rooms the win
dows of which are tightly closed all
night. This directly invites nose, throat
and lung troubles. We can live a long
time without food, but We cannot live
five minutes without air.
Oxygen is the most necessary and vital
thing to life. Therefore we cannot have
too much good, pure air. We throw out
through the lungs a certain amount OF
poisonous matter every hour. and in
place of that, we should breathe in the
Iifegiving oxygen. In a poorly ventilated
room We rebreathe the poisons with
which we have filled the air. Instead of
awakening in the morning Bright and

At the risk of repeating some things l
have said to you before, dear mothers,
want to talk to you today about what L
call the sin of failing to respect your
child's individuality. 1t Is subject upon
which l have strong feeling because In
my own childhood / was sufferer from
that very cause. Many OF us were, no
doubt In those days, the attention of
parents was not called to the rights of
the child to the extent 1t is today; chill
dren were not supposed to have any
rights, in fact, II there was any conflict
between themselves and their elders. All
the rights belonged to the grown-ups,
But 1 was an unusually sensitive child
and l felt many things ktenly without
having enough conception of what was
wrong to be able to put my protest into
words. And such sympathy have /
gained thereby for all the childish suf-
ferers whose individuality has been ig-
nored and trampled upon that more tina n
once l have felt impelled to make my
protest now, In the name OF my own
childhood as well as the childhood of
these modern times.
Almost every day 1 see some instance
that gives me a text for this most often
repeated talk to our Mothers Club. Only
a few days ago I was spending day in
a family where there are three interest

individuality of each one OF the three.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
COOKING CARROTS.
By FRANCES MARSHALL

New carrots will be here before very
long.
In the meantime. it is the problem
of every cook to keep up interest in
old carrots-and other winter vege-
tables-until spring and summer vege-
tables arrive in abundance.
Carrot soup is one good thing to
make, and here is a recipe for It: Cut
small onion and a pound of carrots
into small pieces. Melt two table,
spoonfuls OF butter in a saucepan and
cook the carrots in 1t, with the onions,
for about five minutes. Then add two
big cupfuls of boiling water, cover.
and simmer slowly until the carrots
are tender enough to rub through a
fine sieve. After putting them through
sieve. return to the fire, add two
tablespoonfuls of flour mixed with a
little of the carrot liquid, cook well.
and then add two cupfuls of milk.
Season with salt and pepper and serve
with cnQutons.
Carrots cooked with stock are de-
licious. First cook them, scraped, un-
til they are almost tender. Then slice
them or dice them and put them over
the fire with a cupful of stock and
salt and pepper. Simmer gently for
ten or fifteen minutes and serve very
hot. If the stock is not available, use
cupful of milk and water, a little
butter, n teaspoonful of sugar and
plenty of salt and pepper.
Peas in carrot cases are good. To
prepare these, boil scraped carrots
until tender, choosing large ones.
Then cut each in half crosswise and
make two cups-slice off the end so
that they will stand straight-and
scoop out a little cavity. Fill with
canned peas, heated thoroughly and
well seasoned.
Peas and diced carrots mixed, chilled
and served on lettuce with French
dressing are very good, and so are the
two vegetables mixed and served with
cream sauce, very hot.

at her brother. she replied, gently:

Wednesday, March 22, 1916.
,Astrologers read this as doubtful day
IN which to exercise great care in all
important undertakings. While Venus
ana saturn are in benefic aspect Mars is
strongly evil in influence. Late at night
Mercury is we'll placed.
Women should make the best of the
early morning hours and they are likely
to have success in business dealings with
old men.
This is an encouraging sway for mod
istes. milliners and all who depend upon
the trade OF women.
BY a strange inconsistency of huma n
nature women probably will indulge in
extraordinary extravagances here in the
United States. especially at times when
there is danger of war. The stars will
influence them to crave Jewels and per-
sonal adornments.
Mars is in an aspect exceedingly male
fc. War agitation MAY be emphasized
under this planetary government. but the
seers believe that the United States will
not become involved in the world con-
flict.
The sway is inimical TO iron, steel. ma
chinery. and all construction that in
wolves the use of metal Engineers and
contractors should delay important work.
There is a sign that is sinister for the
Panama Canal. In addition to damage
to the channel there may be some naval
peril.
Domestic happiness is held to be in
| jeopardy when Mars Is adverse. Both
men and women should control their
temper.
AS the evil rule of Mars is supposed
to have a tendency to make men head
strong and foolhardy. it is an unfavora-
BILE government for all lines of diplo-
macy.
The stars foreshadow political treach-
cry of the most startling sort. The Pres
ident of the United States comes under
a direction that behooves him to be wise
and cautious.
Persons whose brthdate 1t is should
beware of litigation. They may have
financial anxieties. which will not be Sc
rious.
Children born on this day probably will
! be headstrong and high-tempered, but
these subjects of Aries usually are sue
cessful in business affairs.

Obituary.
FRED LA PLANT.

Fred j. LaPlant died at the home of
his sister, Mrs. VS.. Brown, ON We'd
nesday evening, Feb. %, after some
months of suffering of cancer of the
liver.
Frederick Joel LaPlant was born in
1863 at Indian Ford, Wis. Childhood,
boyhood and manhood were, with the
exception of Is years spent in Dakota,
all passed in this vicinity. For his ex-
cellent traits of character, as neigh
Dor, friend and citizen, he has been
highly respected and honored by a
large circle of friends. When six
months ago the strong and healthy
frame was stricken with disease, it was
hoped the sickness would be of short
duration, but in spite of the best medi-
cal skill in hospital and in the home it
became apparent that the malady would
prove fatal Visited frequently at
Madison by his sister, Mrs. Wallace
Brown, he was some weeks ago re-

watched over and ministered to with
the unwearying care and love which
only a devoted mother and sister could
bestow.
Patient and accomplishing to the
last and appreciative of the constant
care he received from nearest and
dearest, the end gradually approached.
Shortly after midnight Wednesday,
Feb %, he was not, for God had taken
him.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church Saturday afternoon,
conducted by the pastor, Rev. VIM.
Hooton, and attended by large con-
course of friends and relatives. He
was laid to rest in Fassett cemetery.
