Teach Kindness to Animals

Children should early be taught
kindness to animals. If the
mothers but did did their duty in
this line much of the torture which
dumb animals endure from
thoughtless boys would be elm
mated.
1t has been said that boys at a
certain age are impossible, that
they rob birds nests, torture cats,
tie cans to dogs tails and in many
other ways make the life of our
dumb animals one of constant ter
ror, but it has been found that at
any age these boys respond just as
eagerly to human teachings as the
opposite, and it is only the boys
who have had no instruction on
the subject who resort to such
cruel sports.
In New York state instruction
on humane treatment of animals
and birds is compulsory in the
public schools, and thirty-Gve Of
these schools, through the board of
education and with the cooperation
of the American Society to Prevent
Cruelty to Animals, have launched
a program to inculcate and foster
it's precepts.
In the fall, prizes will be given
in each of the schools for the best
composition on what the writer
has been able to do to help animals
during the summer.
The children in these schools are
said to be wonderfully interested
and vie with each other in their
efforts in being kind to the dumb
! creatures.
Kindness. should be one of the
first principles Of a child's educa.

Ancient Penalty Invoked f,

Not since the late Middle Ages
has any one in France been SEN
fenced to die for highway robbery
until recently.
A man is now under sentence Of
death for this crime. His name is
Antoine Savin. He is to be be-
headed with the guillotine. The
judges sentence provided that the
execution should take place in the
largest square in the city Of Epi-
nal. However, the court Of APP
peals has ruled that the lower
judge exceeded his authority in
naming the square, that it is the
privilege of the mayor of the city
to do this instead, but that the
sentence is otherwise all right and
should be carried out.
The offense for which the robber
must make atonement with his
life wasthe holding up Of George
Goldman, an American soldier,
who was left on lonely road for
dead after he had been assaulted
and his pockets emptied.

Country Doctors Vanishing

A change that is taking place SO
silently as almost to escape notice
is the passing Of the country doc
tor. Throughout the land his
place is becoming vacant. In the
East, it is common thing to see
advertisements in the daily papers
soliciting physicians to locate in
certain small villages. A rural
community in Massachusetts, re-

Where Honor Ceases
+ + 4 + 4 \ X + + < 4 + = 4 +

The spectacle of a governor of a
great state who dares not return
to his office at the state capitol be-
cause the sheriff is waiting for him
with a warrant for his arrest, is a
new one in American politics. 1t
has been witnessed recently in
Illinois.
1t is charged that Governor
Small, while state treasurer of Hi.
nois, defrauded that common
wealth out of several hundred
thousand dollars. Whether the
charge is true, we shall doubtless
learn later. At any rate, it may
be used as an illustration Of one Of
the most sinister evils existing in
our democracy at present.
Very many men, who are strict
ly honest in their ordinary business
relations with others, do not hesi-
tate to cheat or steal from the
public. It seems to be charac-
teristic crime of our nation. The
offense may be seen not only in
cases of plain defalcatlon and en-
bezzlement but in an astonishing
proportion Of the every day tran
sactions in which goods or labor
are sold to the public. And what
is stranger yet, the many people
who have two prices, -one Tor the
public and the other for private in
dividuals do not look upon this
practice as actually dishonest.
This is at the beginning of all
the political crookedness and cor
ruption which we so greatly de-
plore. We shall never abolish the
latter so long as our conscience
will tolerate this common public
offense. The bringing Of this con-
dition to an end appears to be one
of the specific tasks which the wo-
men Of America will sooner or later
have to perform.

ton and he should be made to see
the injustice and brutality of
cruelty to the weaker animals
which cannot protect themselves.
A god ethod is to get the
b,vs and girls interested in the
nature and habits of the different
animals and birds. They soon dis
cover their fine points and are
their sworn champions. :
The germ of kindness in the
child should be fostered and nur-
tured. Its culture is an asset for
good citizenship and gives strength
to his influence in its promotion.

The Problems OF
HOME AND FAMILY
A Talk with our Wives, Mothers,
and Sisters
A simple-C re
A case reported b. Miss Binze

- Goo0 AOPollSu " MISS blnZ6l
seems worthy of thoughtful
consideration of parents generally.
A little fellow of four and half
years, one of the mighty American
host of spoiled children, made a
demand of his kindergarten teacher
which she could not grant. Then
ensued the following dialogue:
George: But TIL scream.
Teacher: On, will you?
George: Yes, l scream very
loud.
Teacher: Oh, do you?
George: Yes, l howl.
Teacher: Well, over in that
corner is a chair for those who
howl very loud. You may sit in
it if you like.
George took his place in the
chair and proceeded to howl. He
did his best, but no one seemed to
pay any attention. Finally he
stopped and came to the teacher
with an expression of childish
amazement.
George: Does your head ache?
Teacher: Oh, no. indeed.
George: That's strange. When
| howl at home il makes Mothers
head ache and she gives me what 1
want.
AS it turned out, George not
only gave up the attempt but he
never repeated it. He was cured
at least as far as the school was
concerned though we may suppose
he continued to carry on at home
as before.
Parents will do we'll to note the
two reasons-for there are two
why the teacher won. One was
that the little fellow was not al
lowed to have what he wanted.
Indeed, he was not given even the
slightest sign that there was any
chance whatever of such an out
come. If the teacher had shown
nervousness or impatience, he
would have construedit as a sign
of weakening and would have con-
tlnued his crying until she yielded;
and after that he would have been
master and tyrant at school as at
home.
The other reason why the teach
er won is that she did nothing du-
ring the test to arouse his ill-will
or hostility. If she had "made
fun Of him. or become angry and
punished him, as most parents do,
he would have continued through
sheer obstinacy. She did neither;
and so his last reason for holding
out was taken away from him.

President o. ks "Owl Verdict

President o. X. IS s'Owl Verdict
The question as to whether sew
eral owls which took up their
abode in the White House grounds
should be permitted to stay or not
raised widespread interest among
nature-loving children throughout
the country. A trial" was ar
ranged by the American Forestry
association and a schoolboy jury
was appointed to settle the fate of
the owls. The jury decided that
the owls may live at the White
House. In accepting the verdict
the president voiced his approval,
saying that the owls must have
been put there for some useful pur-
pose, and that he would grant
them areprieve."

Wood Ashes Useful

Dip cork in warm water, then
in wood ashes and with it rub
your steel cutlery. It is the cheap
est, best and quickest securing
agent imaginable. Again, mix a
small quantity of wood ashes in
warm water and pour into greasy
milk bottles or glasses. Shake
we'll and the glass will clean like
magic. Finally, mixing wood
ashes with the earth around house
plants improves their growth
wonderfully.
In preparing horseradish do not
CRATE it, but run it through a food
chopper. This keeps the eyes
from smarting and saves time as
we'll. Grind a fair amount at
time and keep 1T in a glass can
with vinegar on it.
Be sure and iron pongee silk
when it is perfectly dry or it will
leave spots and rings that look like
grease. Hang the silk in a shady
place and when it is perfectly dry,
iron with moderate iron and the
silk will be as new.
To prevent milk from sticking to
the kettle when it is being scalded
first add a pinch of salt to a little
hot water and boil in the vessel a
few minutes. Pour out, then add
milk and scald it.
Lay material that has been
stained with iodine over a pail and
pour boiling water through the
spots. Keep pouring the boiling
water upon the spots until they
disappear.
If the meat hardens as it bakes
and you do not like the crust, then
put a damp cloth over it while it is
in the oven. This removes the ne
cessity of much basting.
If tea stains the inside of the
cup, the mark can be removed
with vinegar and salt. Wash the
spot with vinegar in which a little
salt has been dissolved.
1t is the custom of the French,
Belgian and Swiss to cook lettuce
just as any other green, for in
stance, spinach.
The next time you make apple
pie, try rolling little grated
cheese into the crust. 1t adds
] much to the favor.

Keep on hand an ordinary Short
