The Problems Of
HOME A.sp FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives. Moehefs,
an1 Sisters
A Mistake of Parents

How to control the behavior OF
the children is a problem which all
mothers and fathers have to face
at one time or another. Probably
it is the most difficult Of all the
family life. Certain IL is that it
hangs like u perpetual nightmare
over many parents who are COM
PEELED to look helplessly on while
their children wander into paths of
vice and sin.
To what extent are parents res
ponsible for children who 60 wrong?
To many parents whose own lives
are all but faultless, and whose
ideals and motives are of the finest
and highest type, this unspeakable
sorrow has come. The world has
come to look upon the tragedy
with kindly and sympathetic
eye; yet many feel that the cause
of it is, in many cases at least, to
be traced to certain mistakes which
the parents have committed in the
treatment Of their children.
One of these mistakes, and per-
haps one of the worst, is that of
Furnishing children when we, our
selves and perhaps our children as
we'll, are angry. The truth is that
anger is a supreme disqualification
for any person when it comes to
Furnishing a child. We are so con-
stituted that we can not be just at
such q time; and the normal child
is SO constituted that he resents
and rebels against punishment adj
ministered in this spirit. And SO
we have injustice on the one hand
and bitterness and ill-will on the
other. 1t is doubtful If any real
good ever came out of punish.
ment inflicted in anger. or even
whethertapy sachspunishment was
ever administered from which ac-
tual harm did not come. Indeed a
long train of evils may be traced
to it, not the least of which is the
definite loss Of the child's affection
and respect. After this, anything
may be expected; for with the
child estranged and alienated from
his parent, the course which he
will probably take is not difficult

To Remove Stains

Coffee Stains Hold tightly and
smoothly over q bowl, or stretch in
an embroidery frame, so the stained
portion is covered in the smooth
space. Pour boiling water through,
holding water at some height to
give force to the fall of water. Re-
peat this several times, or till stain
disappears.
Chocolate Stains Sprinkle the
stain with powdered borax, soak in
cold water for 20 minutes and then
treat same as coffee stain.
Peach Stain-Cover stain with
wet salt and let stand for "a hours
before washing in lukewarm
water.
Scorch-Put cloth immediately
in sunlight. Do not wet it.
Tea-Spread stained section ov-
er bowl. Pour on glycerine and
follow with boiling water.

who seek to discredit their admin
istrations. We condemn them for
things which they are powerless to
avoid or prevent. Worse yet, we
often condemn them for their most
earnest and conscientious efforts
to serve the common good. This
has been true Of the judgments
pronounced by the American veo-
pie upon several of our recent pres
idents; and it and probably be true
in the case Of Mr.. Harding. He
will spend himself and exert his ut
most efforts to do that which
seems best for his people; and his
reward will besa food of virulent
and vindictive criticism from the
nation he has tried to serve It is
poor pay for high and honorable
service; but he will have to bear it
because this is the common lot of
presidents Of the United States.
1t is clear that it is the part Of
good citizenship to be lenient and
kind in our judgments OF our pub
lie servants. They should in every
case be given credit, for honest en-
deavor and right motives because
40 body they are honest and
faithful in the performance Of thei,
duties. Our presidents seem to de.
serve this consideration oven more
than others since the tasks Get foz
them are SO often nearly beyond
human power to perform according
to the expectations Of their people

For Good Measure

In addition to his other troubles,
Mr.. Harding appears to be face to
face with a period of business de-
preston, Perhaps this may turn
out to be the thing for which his
administration will be chiefly re-
membered. 1t will not be panic
because the Federal Reserve Sys-
TEN has apparently made panics
next to impossible. But it will,
from present indications, be: per-
iod of slow business and half-stilled
industries. with many people of all
classes suffering financial troubles
and hardships.
A 6nancial depression is . great
handicap to any administration,
just as general prosperity goes far
toward making any administration
popular. Mr.. Harding is the play
thing Of fate in this respect; for
while business conditions will de-
termine largely the verdict Of his
fellow citizens as to tho success Of
his administration, he has almost
no control over these conditions in
this particular case. American in
dustries will be crippled because
other countries ire unable to buy
our products; and everybody in
America will probably feel the eff
feet in some unpleasant way.
Whatever else he may do, Mr..
Harding cannot give buying power
to other nations. They have dis
sipated,i it in war, and to recover it
will probably require many years.
We may take some courage in
knowing that our country will suf-
fer less than others because Of it's
great wealth and resources. But
it is still true that Mr.. Harding
will probably find himself harshly
judged and unjustly condemned at
last because Of something which he
could no more control than he
could control an earthquake or the
spots on the sun.

A Disillusioned Man

Our new president is a man Of
kindly temperament and amiable
disposition. He is friendly, some
what reserved, and sensitive to
criticism and censure. While he
has had long experience in politics
and has attained the goal Of every
worthy mans ambitions, it Is be-
coming clear that the years that
are ahead are to prove hard and
bitter to him beyond other peoples
knowledge or understanding.
Already he has been disillusioned.
In a recent address, he told Of old
friends that had become cold and
nnfriendly; Of intrigue and untruth
by trusted advisers to accomplish
selfish and sinister ends; and Of
the FIRST great lesson he had learned
- president-elect; Wis, that he
must be constantly on his guard
eest be be msde the tool Of design
ing men who wish to exploit their
fellows.
We know that he has not told
all that is troubling him. From
his home city has come the report
that Senator Harding, almost ap-
palled at the intrigue that has
been at work to gain control Of the
great cabinet places, is patiently
seeking light. He is learning that
many men have sought to deceive
him. He has learned that he il
the center Of q veritable web o.
Intrigue. He is beginning to be
lieve that there are very few mel
whom it is safe 70, him to trust
To q man Of his temperament, thi
takes on the proportions Of .
tragedy"
To have all but lost his faith il
mankind is the first price that b.
has paid for the bauble Of homo
and fame. It's too much. h
will be our president; yet he Wi
be separated from his kind by a.
invisible wall of suspicion and dis
trust. Who can believe that h
will find happiness or pleasure il
such a life? Already, that whicl
he has longed for and finally real
lied is turning to ashes in hi
hands.
Audubon County journal. (Exira, Iowa) 1884-1993, 1921-03-03

The truth is that MIR. Harding is
facing an exceedingly difficult task.
As the leader OF his party, he
must keep it, soiidly welded to-
.gether. This may prove to be be-
yond human power. He was bare
iy able 10 do it during the CAM
paign when the party was fighting
the common enemy. Since then it
has become Increasingly hard. All
the factions and antagonisms that
split the party in 1912 are rising
again to plague him. He has
shown himself unusually skillful in
allaying strife and dissension
among his followers. But already
we hear that he has wearied Of the
thankless task, and his real trou-
bles are only beginning. They
will weigh upon him constantly
more heavily; for the danger is
one that seems certain to become
greater as the years Of his admin
istration increase.
The above is but one Of the gray
realities that confront him. An
other is that he was elected on q
platform that promised to reduce
taxation. This promise probably
cannot be made good. The ex-
renses Of the government are twice
as great now as they ever were be-
fore the war; and there seems to
be little reduction possible because
of the interest payments on our
huge war debt Of twenty-four bill
lions of dollars. Worse yet, the
unsettled state of the civilized
world seems to call for military
preparedness which costs great
deal of money. If to these abnor-
NAL expenses is added a bonus for
our soldier boys, as it should be,
the figures become almost appalling.

him, and who are daily becoming
more numerous and aggressive.
They are extortionate in their de-
mands and relentless in their meth
DDS; and nothing is further from
their thoughts than the welfare of
the public. They threaten, whee-
die and cajoIe; and unless they
get what they ask, they become
bitter enemies who may be expect
ed to use their utmost political In
fluence to defeat the administra-
tion at future elections. So in
general, if the president grants
their demands, the public welfare
suffers; and If he refuses them, be
creates for himself the bitterest
sort Of opposition when he asks for
. second term. Just here Ne see
the reason why many people be-
lieve that our presidents should be
limited to a single term. Il is
certain that they would be able to
act with far greater freedom than
when they are looking forward to q
second term in the White House.
The other cause for his present
perplexity lies in the fact that he
has fallen heir, by grace Of the
votes Of his fellowmen and women,
to broken-down governmental
machine. It is antiquated beyond
belief. 1t does not function. Many
things are either not done at all or
are done independently by two or
three different departments. It is
estimated that there are 10000 un.
necessary employees; yet no one
seems to know where to 20 TO get
anything done. 1t all means that
whatever may be Mr.. Harding's
plans for serving his people, the
inefficient organization for carrying
them out will probably bring hi.
efforts to naught. He seems to b.
, devoting much attention to tn,
problem of recognizing the entir,
} government. However, it i
; known that the effort can hardl,
bring any results within two years

Making Sausage at Home

MX0Aluk 0OU68kC II UVmC
Only clean, fresh meat should be
used. Sausage often spoils because
its making is delayed too long. A
part of the fat should usually be
removed and used for lard. The
majority of people prefer q sausage
made Of three parts lean to one
part of fat. Run the lean and fat
through the cutter, mixing them
as thoroughly as possible the first
time. Now spread the sausage out
in thin layer. and season. To
suit the taste Of a majority Of peo-
pie, use one ounce Of fine salt, one
half ounce Of ground black pepper,
and one-half ounce of leaf sage to
each four pounds Of meat. Mix
this thoroughly and run through
the cutter again.
For immediate use, simply pack
the sausage away in stone jars. If
o thin layer Of melted lard is poured
over the top, it may be kept for
many weeks.
