Household Hints

Add a little borax TO the water
In which the kitchen towels are
washed; IL removes the dirt and
grease, makes them a good color,
and acts as disinfeotant.
To remove rust from metal take
q small quantity of light garden
soil, sift II to free II from grit, mix
with little psraffin, and rub the
metal well. Cleaning old pewter
in this way is most successful.
When you want TO bake potatoes

many years to hear him say some-

Her wistful look was interpreted

run away after his promise and
probably forgotten what the prom

MY HAT goes into the mind OF
" your boy or girl aged from
twelve to twenty Tell
me that and 1 shall easily explain
what must come out in character.
At the beginning of adolescence
your child becomes interpretive.
That is, he falls into the practice
OF comparing himself with other
selves, and continues to decide as
TO who and what he ought TO be.
1t is the age Of formation and re-
formation Of opinion, Of ideals, Of
Ambition.
The quality OF the materials
thoughts, ideas, ideals-which fill
ter daily into the mind Of your
adolescent and lodgment in his
onkciousness-that Is the most
reliable gauge of his character
and his achievements for the fu-
ture.
Any parent may make q test Of
the matter In relation to his own
boy or girl. Does the child daily
CLEAN from printed page or speech
OF another at least one good ele-
waiting thought? Does he hear at
tentively one good positive admo-
milton? Does he hear the utter
ance of a fervent prayer7
Does he Join In singing of an
Inspiring hymn7 Does he listen to
the strain OF lofty instrumental
rnusicH Does he converse with
some person or teacher whose
suggestions are stimulating?
Thus you may easily trace the
matter and make, as II were, a
spiritual map of your child's mind.
Such positive and stimulating
ideas as the foregoing-if your
child is 30 fortunate as to receive
them from his daily surroundings
--go into the subconsciousness
and there accumulate a storehouse
OF helpful and inspiring sugges-
tions for the future. Then. in

ery business, these will spring out
