ward into your own childhood and
many ideas will occur to you in that

Let Little Ones Help at Home.


clothes, and eat simple food.
Let Little Ones Help at Home.
Let the children take hold and
help about the house little. At
4 IL years old they can wash dish
es, and they love to do so. An oil
cloth apron will keep them dry.
They can also help make beds, brush
up crumbs and do many other things,
But we must not nag the children at
their tasks, remembering that inter-
est in useful work may be most sue
cessfully developed by keeping it in
the realm of the play spirit.
We have churches and schools to
help in our work with our children,
but it comes back every time to the
parents and the home to develop in
the children the simple practices
which lead to right and happy iv-
ing.
We must be patient in answering
questions, and if we do not always
know the answer, let us try to find
out with the children. Fun is as
natural as breathing to most chill
dren. Try to laugh with them at
their simple jokes.
Let us take q little time at the
end of the day, if we can, to tell a
short story. The quiet will do us all
good. Perhaps we may have seen
a bird, squirrel or a child do some
amusing thing as we glanced out of
the window while at work. The
wind may have been chasing the
pretty leaves, or the sun playing
hide and-seek among the clouds,
Stories are not all to be found in
books. 1t is a big accomplishment
to learn to do things in the .child's
way-things they like to do but
which we have often denied them be-
~ause we felt we didn't have time to
be bothered.
If the little ones see that mothers
and fathers are trying to find some
thing to love in all their trying tasks,
before we know it the home will al
ways be full of sunshine. If we have
fretful child to deal with, find out
first if he is being properly nourish-
ed; then try telling him stores which
will take his mind off himself.
Many children are often dis
agreeable because they haven't
enough of the right things to do,
such as games and songs, that pro-
vide activity and stimulate the mind
and occupations that answer the
child's need to be doing and making
something.
A most important point for the
mother to realize is the necessity of
sticking to the lessons she needs to
teach every single day until the
right habits are permanently form
ed in her child.
No one can tell us exactly the
things it is best to do with children.

If l were a Fairy Godmother, }
would wave my wand and say to all
mothers, Glove what you have to

merous and a mother has such con-
slant demands made upon her that
she needs to retire within herself
often and, no matter how tired she
may feel, repeat again and again, ~

denly she will feel better, and it be-
ONES easier to go on with the task
of caring for and training the chill
ren. 1t rays in dollars and cents,
well as in peace of mind and sat
faction of spirit, to devote much
bought toward starting the children
right.
What are some of the simple ways
in which we can help our little ones
Let us begin the day happily, no mat
ter how we feel, and never be dis
couraged. nor allow the children to
become so. Together, mothers ana
children can learn to be honest,
obedient and faithful.
1t should not be forgotten that all
virtues thrive best in healthy body.
Therefore, give the child plenty of
fresh air, have him sleep in a we'll
ventilated room, wear clean, whole
clothes, and eat simple food.

GREAT STOCKS
OF FOOD HELD
FOR BIG PRICE
Federal Body Reveals
Huge Supplies Stored
For Higher Market.

Washington. Aug. T. Although
prices of practically all important
foods have shown a substantial in
crease in the last year, stocks of
food held in storage on June 1,
last, were approximately 20 per
cent greater than those of June l,
1918, according to a memorandum
showing the relation between stor-
age figures and prices issued today
by the federal trade commission.
Government stocks were excluded
from the comparison.
'"The fact that stocks of mahy
important foods were much larger
on June 1, this year, than last
year." said the commissions tate
ment, while prices were as high
or higher, apparently means that
they are being withheld specula-
lively for a world demand, which is
not here but which is expected
when hunger-impeIled strikers Sc
cure higher wages with which high
er food prices can be paid"
Gag Law of Supply and Demand.
To show that the law of supply
and demand is not working" the
commission listed eight staple
foods which on June l showed an
increase in stocks withheld from
the market ranging from 3 to 29S
per cent over stocks on June l,
1918, and in each instance there
was shown to have been a substan-
tial advance in the wholesale price
in that period.
Stocks Increase; Prices Soar.
Stocks of frozen fowls showed
the maximum increase of 29S per
cent and the price, despite this fact,
increased three cents a pound.
Wheat stocks showed an increase
of 174 per cent with an increase of
81 cents; -four stocks, an increase
of 81 per cent, with an increase of
nearly So a barrel; egg stocks
showed an increase of 1-S per cent
with an increase in price of IL
cents, and butter stocks an increase
of 129 per cent, with the price soar
ing an increase of 81 per cent in
in 70 cents. Salt beef, canned sal
mon and canned corn completed
the items in this table, the latter
an increase of 81 per cent
in stocks with an increase in price.
Big Gain IN Grain Supply.
All dry storage stocks, according
to the commissions figures, showed
an average increase of 124 per cent.
OF these not listed in the above
table stocks Of rye increased S46
per cent. barley 207 per cent, buck
wheat flour 327 per cent and canned
tomatoes 202 per cent.

FOR RAIL WAGE
BODY REFUSED
Senate Committee Passes
Buck; Says Let Hines
Settle Problem

Washington, Aug. by direc-
tion Of the senate interstate COM
merce committee, Chairman Cum
Minis wrote President Wilson today
voicing the committees disapprov-
al of the presidents proposal that
congress create a special wage
board.
"The committee" wrote Chair
man Cummins, recognizes the
gravity of the situation and earn
estly desires to cooperate with you
in bringing about the proper solu-
tion Of the difficult problems which
confront the country. 1t feels, how
ever, that congress has already Civ
en- you complete and plenary au-
thority to deal with the existing sit
uation and that additional legisla-
tion at this time can add nothing
whatever to your power in the
premises.
Let Hines Do IL.
"The director-general can fix the
wages of all men employed in the
transportation service, and it
seems to be clear that it is for him
to say whether the compensation
of these men should be increased.
He has all the available informa-
ton which can possibly be secured
and it is the view of the committee
that he should act in accordance
with the public interest and his
own judgment. He can be advised
upon the subject by any board or
tribunal which you may select for
. 81
has also the absolute right to in
itiate rates for transportation and
can advance or lower them, as he
may think wise, and, moreover, he
can put the new rates into effect,
whenever, in his judgment, they
should become effective.
Sees No Chance of Hitch.
At the present time, the inter-
state commerce commission does
mot haVe-tfe- pogrezfros e1fti--foi
examination or approval the rates
initiated by the director general;
but, even if the act which lately
not yet passed the house, shall be-
come a law and the authority of
the interstate commerce commits
sion to suspend rates is restored,
it will still be true that the direc-
tor general must initiate the rates,
and il is entirely impossible to be-
lieVe that the commission would
suspend rates that are necessary in
order to pay any increased wages
of railway operatives.
No Legislation Required.
"If the committee felt that there
was any lack of power on your part
or on the part of the director gem
eral, it would be quick to act; but,
inasmuch as it can perceive no
want of authority, it has reached
the conclusion that no additional
legislation is required to meet the
particular emergency which you
have pointed out"
