Naming the Chldren's
Faults
By VINCY PRESTON LOOPS

Like all normal youngsters, my children
developed various unpleasant habits as they
added on the years. For some time it puzzled
these. One day found the solution.
While reading to the children story about
Indians / noticed that their attention was par
ticularly attracted to the curious and interest
ing names used in the story. The kddes
asked many questions about Indian names and
I told them that these were given to fit the
character of the person bearing, the name.
Also l told them Of several such names | had
heard aside from the story just read.
Then it occurred to me to illustrate by Civ
ing them names that fitted their pecularities:
David-can t-hustle, Little -girl-who- loses her
clothes Charlie forgets- t o. wash his face ETC.
The idea amusing to them that they
began to call each other by the new names,
and in day two found that the particular
faults suggested by them had almost vanished
from daily Soon they wanted different
names, for they said, 'Mother we don't do
that any more" l promptly bestowed others
as apt as the first set.
The custom has become quite family rite
and it has done more to eradicate the small
faults than all the ways we had previously
tried Then, too, it is skilfu way of com
promising with many faults while we are de-
Gliding whether they the outward visible
signs of passing whim or of deep-seated
depravity!
1t has the advantage of not hurting any
ones feelings, and it saves the endless talking
which usually seems necessary on the mother 8
part.

Every Woman Her Own Miller

IN ERHAPS you do not even want to grind
your own coffee, much less your
meal And then perhaps you do grind
your coffee freshly each time it is used and
know how much more fragrant it is that way.
If so, grinding grain will be only slight in
novation.
If you have tried in vain to get the "whole"
wheat or rice flour or cornmeal that suited
you the thought of buying the grains and
watching the fine, soft -four fall from your
little home mill may allure you even in these
busy days. You must do more than 'watch,"
however; it means also some working and
waiting, but it is no harder work than beat
ing an angel cake or whipping cream and
eggs, and it is much more worth while.
In these days, when equal amounts of other
grains must be bought with wheat it is
fine chance to experiment with the small home
grinder. Happy the woman who has some
motive power, electricity, a gas engine, SO
that she can replace the fywheel with belt
pulley wheel and need only watch the ma
chine work out of the corner of her eye while
she goes about some other task. (Figure ~
The household grstmis now on the mar
ket are of two types; they either have con-
ica shaped grinding surface placed directly
below the hopper or else there is a scroll-llke
feed screw that moves the grain toward disk
like grinders The first type of mill (see Fig
ure y is comparatively large 1t is meant to
be permanently mounted on bench or shelf
and has a small hywheel handle for turning
the grinders This style is usually easier to
turn than the other, having the disk grinders
(see Figure 81, but takes little longer to
do the work.
The disk grinder (Figure 81 resembles the
familiar meat chopper, and like it can be
clamped to table or shelf and taken down
when not in use. 1t does require greater
effort to turn this type of machine, but by
setting it so that a coarser meal is obtained
and putting the flour through twice this diff
Guilty is minimized.
With the hywheel type of grinder sixteen
ounces of true "whole wheat or graham flour
(of which one and one-half ounces are bran)
can be produced from the berry in twelve min
utes; with the crank type machine it took only
ten minutes In both cases the wheel was turned
at a speed of about seventy-five to hundred
revolutions per minute. In other words, it
would take from fifteen to twenty minutes
to mill enough flour to make two loaves of
bread. The cost also is slightly less, though
there is not much difference in the cost
of the and wheat and their hours as
there is between the rice and tempered oats
and their nllled products. Rice, for instance,
at o to Is cents pound can be ground into
flour that would cost II cents at the store;
: and the rolled oats are only z cents, while
the -four would cost 10. Barley also at 8
cents can be home ground into flour that
would cost 10 cents.
The corn and rye are becoming as scarce
as the wheat almost and quite as high in
price; the wheat substitutes most in favor
just are potatoes, barley, oats and rice.
