Sewing on Buttons

sewing on Buttons
| am passing along an idea for
keeping buttons where they belong
and saving button holes at the
same time. 1t is so simple that l
wonder why there have never been
any waists on the market equipped
thusly.
Instead Of using tape to fasten
the buttons on a child's waist in
those places that bear the strain,
use good elastic. A narrow elastic
will slip through the tape buttons
as easily as will tape, and there is a
vast difference in the amount of
strain that button sewed on that
way will bear and one sewed with
in elastic tape.
When child bends over, one Of
two things is likely to happen,
either the tape tears away or the
button hole splits; but with the
elastic sewed buttons, the button
gives with the pull and springs
back into place when the strain is
relieved.
Use a generous-sized piece of
elastic, at least three-quarter inch
for each button, and am sure that
this idea once used will never be
discarded.
Put the rubber ring on your fruit
jar before you scald it and save
yourself the bother Of getting it in
place after the jar is filled with hot
fruit, and possibly spilled on the
outside.
Peel peaches and pears with a
silver knife to keep them from
turning black.
Make butter of the scraps from
pears. After rubbing through a
fine colander, you can add apples
or not, as you like; cook down un.
TIL thick, with half sugar; or, if
you use whole pears, it is not nee
essary to rub through the colander.
Put little horseradish in your
cucumber pickles to keep them
firm.
Make preserves of tomatoes that
are not firm or ripe enough for
canning.
Add little apples to any fruit
to be made into Jelly. 1t will be
OF teneht to any variety, as it jells
more readily than others.

LET CHILDREN USE THEIR LEGS

The pessimists who insist that man
will be legless in few generations
hence, as result of natures fashion
of dispensing with useless append
ages, have more than one reason for
their contention.
In a city where car fares were
raised recently, campaign was i'm
mediately inaugurated by some of
the good ladies in behalf of low fares
for school children, although the per
centage of children who have any
considerable distance to walk is ex-
ceedingly low. Long, pathetic letters
were written to the city council, the
railway company and the papers
telling how Mary and Johnnie could
ride to school if the fare was three
cents. But alas A six-cent fare
was too big drain upon the family
purse, so the unfortunate, leg-weary
young must drag themselves the six
or seven blocks which lay between
their homes and the school house.
AS a martef of fact, any such agi-
tation is nonsense, save where the
centralized school makes the distance
entirely plohibitive. A walk of a
mile or more to school will not hurt
any healthy child from six years up,
except in rough weather. Moreover,
the time spent out of doors on the
way to and from school is the child's
best insurance against the many in /
fections in which the school ROOM
abounds.
1t is not only ill-judged to depriye
children of the necessity for walking
1t is unfortunate to give them the
idea early in life that it is anything
but most desirable. Those who have
the child's welfare at heart will seek
ways to foster the habit, not means
to make it easy for him to avoid it.

is YOUR JOB Interestingly

"A man who knows nothing CT base
ball or golf looks upon them as bore
until he understands them and then he
becomes enthusiastic.
The same holds true with work.
No man can be enthusiastic about
his job until he understands it, and ne
cannot understand it unless he studies
it-analyzes it-makes it part of his
life.
Many a man is unhappy in his job
because he does not understand it and
therefore cannot enjoy it.
There are others who find work to be
irksome because they do not know how
to work.
And there are others who are truly
in the wrong job.
Work is means to an end. We must
keep our mind on the object-the goal.
That is what makes work interesting.
All achievement is the fruit of hard
work.
Some jobs may look easy-from a
distance. Try out the job yourself and
you will find it requires hard work or
offers no reward.
Water has to keep running to keep
itself fresh-plants that lie idle soon
fall into decay-machinery not work
ing becomes lusty-minds that do not
exercise become laggards. Work is
the one answer.
Study the possibilities OF your work
learn to utilize the unseen forces
that are hidden in every job. Be a
constructive worker"
These sensible observations are
taken from an advertisement of the
Robnett Organization, an institution
that furnishes business training.
Nothing is truer than the statement
above quoted that it is the object to
be achieved, the goal to be reached,
that makes work interesting. And
more than this, it is not merely what
is accomplished in ones own job, but
how that result is going to dovetail in
the working of the whole business.
To understand your job, therefore, in
its relation to others, it is necessary
to have imagination. When anyone
once gets this viewpoint, he must feel
more interest and pride in what he is
trying to do.

Death of John DrumsoId


 Again has the grim monster visited our ranks and taken a young man whose attainments, though not having been of the character that attracts the adoration of the multitude, yet are worthy of special mention as an exam pie of worth and merit. Left orphan in the city of Boston with two young sisters, he set about with that energy which characterized his short life, to support and maintain them, which he nobly did there until feeble health forced him to this elysium where he immediately sought work and during the last five or six years has labored continuously either for my son or my self
 Ever dependable, honest and >forcible, he needed no watchful eye or ma aster to direct. and as a faithful sentry was ever at his post. In this generation when progeny seek menial labor for all the duties that tend toward soiled hands. his was an enviable example | Though there was no opportunity for the goal of greatness to be attained Gas we apply that word), yet were it not for men of this ilk, with determination and grit, this rabble and great mixture of wealth seekers with prize ideas would soon drop into the rut of ancient predecessors and become the subject oi I history.
