OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS

been busy-two bones were broken
in one foot.
We live where there is nobody to
hire for love nor money. The men
work at Wilson's dam, and right
now those that have their crops
where they can turn loose are work
ing on the road, and our road was
a calamity all this year. The little
grandson and 7, with the help of
two other small boys, also grandsons,
have been able to keep the cows,
horses and hogs attended to, with
the exception of the milking. | can
get enough to keep a cow that gives
over a gallon from suffering, but
when it came to getting three sal
Ions, or four, my hands cramp, and
in a week l would have ruined every
COW on the place. But there has
not been a night nor morning that
we have failed to see some good
neighbor come to milk. 1t has not
bSen the same one each time, but
when one could not come she only
had to send another the word and
she came.
Once [ heard two women argue
about money and friends, one for
each. | fully agreed with the one
who said that a friend was worth
fortune, but the other said if she
had money she could buy all she
wanted done. Since that, living up
to her theory. she has seen the time
more than once when she saw how
helpless she was with only pocket
book full of money.
While the doctor was here last
week we were talking Of EPSON
salts. He asked me if [ knew 1t
was one of the very best things for
q burn. / did not, and he said that
you put just water enough to hold
it together, and apply as a poultice.
1 knew that salts could not be ex-
celled for stings of any sort. And
if it is used to battle heat or net
tie rash it soothes and heals. And
since I've been entertaining small
boys I've found d medicine that
keeps the skinned feet and knees
from getting really painful. Get a
five cent stick of caustic, break off
almost an inch of it and put it in an
ounce of boiled water. Mop the sore
place with peroxide Of hydrogen and
then apply the caustic. 1t does
not even sting, but a healthy scab
forms right away, and two appH-
cations will usually cure a rather
deep place.
The little boy watched me anoint
a new place and said, Grandma, if
so-and-so lived with you his sores
would all get well, wouldn't they?"
I told him l didn't know about that,
but that I would try to heal them.
These simple remedies do not seem
very important, but like the pro-
verbal stitch in time, nine or more
days Of suffering may be prevented

TEXAS CONVENTION
ADOPTS PLATFORM
Of THE FERCUSONS

AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 3.-By the
Associated Press) - The platform
drawn by former Governor James e
Ferguson was adopted by the plat
form committee Of the Democratic
state convention here today with
slight changes by rising vote which
was unanimous. The platform as
submitted to the platform commit
tee yesterday denounced the Ku KIux
Khan by name, demanded lower taxes
and more economy in state govern
ment.
The platform committee eliminated
the word treason" as applied to
the activities of the Ku kluX Kan,
gave d stronger Endorsement to the
administration Of Governor Neff
than was contained in the original
draft and inserted a plank providing
for expedition of court procedure. 1t
demands publication of mem oe1ships
of secret organizations and another
against wearing masks.
The platform contains a. dozen
planks. The plank on the khan reads
as follows:
The Democratic party emphatical-
ly condemns and denounces what is
known as the invisible empire of the
ku Klux Khan as an undemocratic,
un-Christlan and American or
ganizatiCn. We brand it's activities
III politics and elsewhere as against
the fundamental principles upon
which the government was founded.
We call upon all those who have
Joined this dangerous order through
mistake as to it's real purposes to
withdraw from The same and lend
their aid and influence to free the
country from trouble which this in.
sidious clique has aroused among
the people. We demand the passage
of law requiring the public reGistra-
ton of membership Of all secret or
carnations and likewise a law
against wearing masks and DISCUSSES
in public or private places"
The platform indorses the admin.
istration Of Governor Neff without
qualification and supports his en-.
deavor to suppress lawleEsness.
The plank on prohibition is par
ticularly vigorous, demanding publ
cation of druggists reports sh owing
amount of prescription liquor sold,
the name of the physician prescrib-
ing and the gross monthly profit on
such business.

Simple Remedies


When / was in Japan was
$50 miles from an English speaking
doctor, and many times L thanked
the good Lord that L had inherited
q medical instinct, il it could be
called that, from long line of an
cestors, for the doctors in the War
ing family date back, we know, to
the time of King George III.
We lived in a Japanese city that
never had less than 10000 soldiers
in the barracks. There were splen-
did Japanese doctors and surgeons.
The government saw TO it that the
soldiers were kept in good condition.
And the American teachers in the
school sent for the best of those
doctors when a girl in the school
was sick. We often consulted them
about our own ailments, but for
aids and incidentals to keep in good
condition we depended on what we
had done before we went across.
Now that l am again some dis.
lance from a doctor 1 again re-
joice that I do not lose my head"
when an accident occurs. And all
this leads to an account of a very
strenuous week that / have been
through lately. The farmer came
in about II o'clock one morning last
week and said, i've let the wagon
run over my feet" He had been
hauling gravel, had yard" on at
the time and the team started to
run. He checked them and they
backed both wheels over his feet.
He hauled another load after that,
and came on to the house as his
feet began to be Uncomfortable
OF course, as soon as he got in [
put his feet in warm water, and
gradually added to it to get the
temperature as hot as he could bear
it. L put a cup Of epson salts to
a gallon Of water, and he kept his
feet in it IS minutes. Then I had
a liniment made of equal parts tur-
pentine and coal OH, with two tea
cup of that. I'll tell you frankly
that the. liniment was added just to
please the farmer. The two are
all that are necessary. With this
I rubber his feet and got him to lie
down. In two hours I repeated the
treatment, hot water, salts and lini-
ment. All the afternoon the treat
ment was kept up, and that night
Inc next morning one eye WAS
like a clot of blood, so that put me
out of business, for ones eyes are
too precious for any but a profes-
sional. I sent for a doctor, and he
said that I had done just as we'll
as he could have done. you've
done a good job, Mrs. Thomas, and
the eye is affected by a small blood
vessel breaking" He sent me some
medicine to drop in the eye every
two hours, and perhaps I have not

Dear Folks:
The other night I was reading
what I consider a very good style
book, wanting to find out something
that would be helpful in the way OF
fashion notes for you. OF course,
most of us are interested in the
length of skirts, and this article dealt
very clearly and sensibly with this
point. The opinion of this writer
is that for middle aged or older
women the skirts will be seven to
seven and a half inches from the
floor. For younger women from
eight to ten inches and for the
very young Il to Ia inches from the
floor. The straight line continues
good. Quite a few styles are belt
less while other show a wide suede
belt worn rather low over the hips.
There is for the moment very short
waist line being worn by the very
young. A circular effect at the bot
tom of some of the frocks add full
ness.
Shutter green; Venetian fuchsia
several shades of brown and the ever
popular blue holds the color field
for the season so far.
Cordially yours,
AUNT JULIA.

with a different sound, and that is
better than rhymes. A boy and girl

these courses are best when they
are for English, history or literature.
L do not know how you would pro-
2ress with such a study as civil en-
cheering, but you could at least
learn the text book portion of this
study and after that you might be
able to get practical study by going
with some engineering corp, that
would pay you small amount while
you learned. l do not know of such
a company, but there probably would
be some that might be suggested
by your school.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

There are men like this who are
kind, and understanding and tender,
and generous, who treat their wives
with every courtesy and considera-
ton, and who except for the one
fault are adorable husbands and
fathers, but who are constitutionally
unfaithful. They are attracted by
every woman, and are true to no
woman. They are never domesticat-
ed until they grow too old to roam,
but many women bide their time,
and wait until the philanderer comes
back to her at last, because she
knows that even as he is he Is a
more agreeable husband than many
a man who possesses all the viz
tues, and none of the amenities Of
life.
Perhaps the man who has an un.
faithful wife could do no better than
follow the example that such women
set in such cases. The breaking
up of his home will mean sorrow to
MN. The parting from his child
will bring bitterness to him no less
than it would to a woman, and a
man is even less fitted to take care
or a child and keep a home together
dioHe LhdH woman is. so, Tor the
children's sake, and so that he may
keep near his child and try to bring
it up properly, it may often be the
best thing for the man to forgive
an erring wife.
And often the woman who takes a.
step astray is not really bad. She
is only weak and vain and pleasure.
loving. She wants to be flattered
and made love to and given a good
time, and her husband can save her
from temptation by being a lover
as well as husband.
But any way you look at it, the
question of whether an unfaithful
husband Or wife should be forgiven
or divorced is a terrible one. COG

who lie awake at night trying to
