Fear as Discipline.

Fear as form of discipline has
never been anything but a failure.
That would be enough in itself, but
there is worse. The child upon whom
it has been visited is often d failure
in consequence. The person who is
controlled only by his fears has little
to depend upon in the day Of stress.
1t is the soul that carries man
through the evil day and the coward
has shiverfhg, sfirinKing soul. The
discipline of fear breeds towards and
bullies and failures. -
Some children are afraid of ugly
faces and their guardians discover
that, by making a horrid face. they
can force the child to be quiet or to
do as they wish They do not stop TO
think that for every drain upon a
Child's energy there is a bill coming
in. And it is the sort of bill that can
not be resisted. 1t is always paid in
full, running oyer. and pressed down,
by the child whose nervous organiza-
ton has been drained of it's resist
ance.
Stories of bad men with bags and
ragmen and the policeman that comes
after dark and gathers up all the
children who are not sleeping are
forms of fearful discipline imagine
the child who is haunted by the fear
of a huge man with black bag while
going to sleep. Anybody who knows
anything about children knows that
sleep is one of the most important
functions of childhood. 1t must be
quiet and restful and free from
dreams if the child is to grow. Fear
destroys that growth.
Fear of anger is another form of
tyranny and fear. Some grown people
delight in working themselves into a

Removal of Grass and Fruit Stains
BY LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

| fabrics. Unless properly treated, the
stains are stubborn. They will not
react to water, but require some spe.
cial solvent. Laundry soap is SOL
vent, and most grass stains can be
removed by washing In a strong So
luton of a mild soap and hot water.
Let the spot soak in the solution. then
, wash, as usual, and rinse well. A
grass stain rubbed with lard comes
out with less friction in washing
than one not so treated. The lard
acts as solvent.
Wood Alcohol for Wool.
Wood alcohol will take out grass
stains and is advised when the ma
terial is not wash goods, or If 1t has
color that will not stand strenuous
laundering. Apply alcohol with a
sponge or rag. The spot should be
above an absorbent pad to prevent
the stain from spreading. The color
should be absorbed by the pad be-
meath and not merely made less no.
ticeable by thinning it, as it spreads
over the material. This is what hap
pens without the use of the pad,
which may be of blotting paper, abb
sorbent cotton or old cloth. Use such
pad when removing any and all
stains.
Fresh Fruit Stains.
Fresh fruit stains are other sea
sonabble spots" There are few
fruits that do not have a coloring
matter in them that leaves mark
when crushed fruit touches fabric.
Some of these are difficult to get out.
The very best method of removing
fruit stains, and the one that should
be tried Immediately after the spot
appears, consists of pouring clear
boiling water through the spot. Use
tea kettle or other utensil having d
spout, so that the stream OF water
falls with force directly on the stains.
If particles of pulp are mixed with
the liquid causing the stain, alter
nate gentle rubbing with the pouring
on of the water. If the stain is per-
sistent and traces still remain after
giving such treatment. try bleach
ing in sunlight. Lay the garment on
the grass if possible where the san s
rays viii fall Directly on the spot.
If the material is not white, though
wash goods, cover it with several
thicknesses of newspaper, except the
place where the spot is. This will
prevent fading Do not permit such
wash goods to remain long in strong
sun bath.
Javelle Water.
Javelle water. which is made by dis
solving and straining through a cloth
washing soda tquarter pound tG half
pint cold water) and adding one ounce
bleaching powder, can be used sue
cessfully to remove stains of practi-
cally any sort from white goods lex
cept silk. 1t rots the material if left
in soak too long. One minute is the
prescribed time. Rinse thoroughly
several times after each application
of the javelle water. This method Of
spot removing must be used with
nature.

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Leo.

Leo.
Tomorrow's planetary aspects are
rather complex and variable. There
is too little continuity of conditions
to justify any general forec;Sjt. In
the early part Of the day there will
be engendered a spirit of activity and
restless energy that would appear
to warrant launching out in new,
and even untried, enterprises. At
about noon, however, the signs denote
a feeling of depression and an entire
lack of seh-confidence or reasonable
courage Toward evening, this CON
dition will have disappeared, and there
will be experienced a conviction that
things are neither so rosy nor so com
plicated as they appear, and the con-
viction will force itself on your mind
that II Is better to let well enough
alone and, in the meantime, to drift.
A boy born tomorrow will be more
than ordinarily subject to the vicis-
situdes OF infancy, and not only must
his nutrition be carefully regulated
but much vigilance must be exercised
in order to avoid the risk of accident.
A girl born tomorrow will experience
practically no illness during her early
years, but will be liable to suffer
a serious setback during maidenhood
In disposition and temperament they
will both leave much to be desired,
unless forceful steps are taken at an
early stage to remedy their short
comings. They will have little control
Of their tempers, be very seif-willed
and extremely selfish, and show an
utter disregard for the wishes Of
others. Evidence of this will be
shown in infancy. These outbreaks,
however, must not be CLOSED over
as cute. They must be effectively
and effectually Curbed.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
need to bear in mind that flies are
more often caught with molasses than
with vinegar. and that a soft word
often turneth away wrath. You are
too prone TO speak abruptly, thereby
hurting others feelings. although this
Is the very last thing you want to do.
This has. so far, proven to be your
stumbling block. and has succeeded in
estranging many who, with the exer-
else of little more tact and diplo-
macy. would have been favoIably i'm
pressed by your more than ordinary
ability
You are fearless and self-confident
as we'll as methodical and careful in
your plans. You are very fond of
travel, but on indulging this taste al
ways want the companionship of those
who are near and dear to you.
Your affections are constant, so long

Selecting a Trunk

The commonest fault in selecting a
trunk is to sacrifice durability for an.
pearance. A recent report on the
trunk industry shows that by far the
greatest demand for even wardrobe
trunks is in the S35 and $40 grades:
and any one familiar with good lug
gage knows that the quality secured
at that price is not the best bargain.
Buyers who don't know Just what
they want in the way of a trunk are
apt to be too much impressed with the
big brass decorations on the outside,
and the multiplicity of drawers and
compartments on the inside.
First of all, one should decide what
the trunk is to be used for So much
travelling is being done nowadays that
the trunk manufacturers have put out
a great variety of types and con-
veniences. 1t is the shoppers best
policy to state her needs to the sales
man, and let him show the best styles
he has for the purpose.
If you are going overseas, it should
probably be a fiat steamer trunk. For
week end trips. possibly the wardrobe
trunk. For long, unbroken journey
or for storage, the large open box Is
usually best.
But the ability to stand up under
rough usage is the one virtue that
all types should possess. So, what
ever the styles selected. be sure to get
a solidly built trunk. See If the metal
corners are put on to protect the
trunk or merely to catch the eye. A
we'll rounded corner, of heavy mate
rial, is a good sign. Insist on getting a
bottom that is made of as good mate
rial as the more conspicuous sides.
Most dealers try to sci la customer
what they think she wants. Let yours
know that you want service, first of
all, in a trunk, and you'll probably
have his cooperation in getting it.
If you can invest only a small sum,
by all means do not demand fancy
lining and all the latest 'fiXings" in
side. Select a small trunk, If you
don't need size, and you can still get
first quality and good appearance.
A word of warming about having
your trunk ''vulcanized" can't be
amiss. Trunkmakers say that the
practice is becoming very cefnhaoh

My Eeighbor Says:

In choosing a ham always run
a clean knife into the knuckle
and center. If II comes out
clean and smelling sweet, the
ham is good but If the knife
comes out smeared and greasy
looking and with strong odor
the ham is bad.
When putting away pie crust
for any length of time smear II
thickly all over with lard and
cover with a bowl. 1t will keep
longer.
Always save old pieces of soap
to make into soap Jelly. A tea
cup of pieces makes about a
pint of jelly. Cut the pieces
up quite small, place them in
wide -mouthed jar, add half a
teaspoon of powdered ammonia
and a pint of boiling water.
Stir until the soap is dissolved,
and leave till cold. A table
spoon OF soap jelly is quite suf-
ficient to make a good lather
in a gallon of warm water.
Spread "A little flour over the
top of cakes before they are
iced. This will prevent the
icing from running off.
Bristle brushes may be washed
with lukewarm water and a
little ammonia three teaspoons
of ammonia to a quartz and
then rinsed in clear water.
Water is likely to injure the
back of the brush. The brush,
therefore, should not be cover
ed with water, but should be
washed by sousing the bristles
back and forth in shallow
water.

Chopped Pickle.

Chop one peck of green tomatoes.
one half a peck of onions. two heads
of cabbage, three sweet green peppers
and one red sweet pepper. Sprinkle
with two cupfuls of salt and allow to
stand over night. In the morning
drain it thoroughly and put it into the
kettle with one quart of vinegar. Let
it cook, stirring occasionally so that
every part may become heated. When
it is heated drain it again. Put into
a saucepan two quarts of vinegar, one
pound of sugar. two ounces of white
mustard seed and two teaspoonfuls
each of ground aIlspice and cinnamon
and boil. When it reaches the boiling
point add to it the strained mixture.
Let 1t stand d few minutes, put In

Smart Wedding Attendants.

Some of the most interesting ideas
for society weddings come from Eng.
land, where much attention is given
the subject of dressing the wedding
attendants. 1t is from England, of
course, that we take the idea of hav-
ing children included in the wedding
party, since no prominent English
wedding would be complete without
flower girls, pages or train bearers.
Now they say that the smartest sort
of page costumes consist of little frilled
lace-t trimmed shirts. worn with knick-
erbockers of gold colored satin,
shaped like little riding breeches.
A distinguished English nobleWom-
an dressmaker, who makes q good
many bridal party outfits, often takes
her suggestions from the costumes to
be found in old portrait groups, copy
ing almost exactly the costumes worn
by the children in some Romney,
Lawrence or Van Dyke canvas.

Bargains in BlouSes.

Are you the sort of woman who is
always looking for bargains in
blouses'? l know many women who
from one year to another seldom buy
a waist in any other way. Frequent
ly. and provided always that a woman
knows her ness-which on shop
ping trip includes getting the best
value for her money-one can find as
tonishing bargains in this way.
In the first place, try to find out
why the merchandise is on sale. Is il
necessary for the merchant to clear
his counters for the seasons new
stock; are they styles which did not
take" or are the waists made up of
a cheap, shoddy material to sell at a
cheap price? If the silk is of poor
grade it will not have the softness
and luster of the better class of goods.
Poor cotton is likely to be loosely
woven, coarse. and stiflly sized. In
ferior dyes also cheaper the appear
ance of waist.
The workmanship or the care with
which the waist has been made will
also have a lot TO do with the satisfac
tion you win get out of wearing it and
the dainty or attractive appearance
which it presents. Regardless of the
cost, if a woman feels that she is
wearing a blouse that is hastily and
poorly MADE. If the seams are raw
and bulky, if the hooks and eyes are
sewed on at the wrong places or are
likely to come off at any moment, she
is not going to be very comfortable
wearing it. Notice the stitching par
ticularly TO see that it is fine and
even and will hold we'll If the blouse
is of silk. then silk thread should have
been used; and if of cotton, the thread
used in the stitching should not be too
coarse and ''cottony' in appearance.
Look at the seams on the inside. They
should be carefully caught, with no
raw edges showing.
Unless the waist has been carefully
cut, from a pattern that is symmetri-
cal, the finished article will not be in
good proportions. Usually it is the
sleeves that have not been set in
properly. If the material is striped
or checked, a very good check on
the workmanship is to note whether
the stripes and checks are straight
and well matched.
Are the accessories put on carefully?
The collar, cuffs and belt-are they
straight? Buttons, hooks and eyes
and fasteners must be put on in the
right place, and securely sewed. The
buttonholes should be neatly finished
Examine the trimming TO see that it
has been neatly done. There should
be no loose ensis of embroidery flying
anywhere. the hemstitehing must be

frenzy of rage and storming at some
trembling child Such a person is
fit subject for the hospital and should
never be allowed where children are
They glory in the fear they instill in
the hearts of the children. Il put the
fear of God into him, 1 promise you. ."
The fear of God should have smitten
their own souls for it is written that
it were better that milestone should
be hanged about his neck and he be
drowned into depths of the sea, than
he OFFEND one OF the little ones"
Fears are graduated down to the
most refined and torturing sort and
there are people who think them
selves kind who now and then prac-
tice all forms of fear on the children
Nothing good was ever accomplished
through fear; nothing lasting: nothing
that gave strength and hope and
courage and pride to a child. And
without them what good is all the
training in this world?
You can love a child into doing al
most anything You can force him
into nothing. You can frighten him
into outward acquiescence, but wait
until your back is turned. Did you
ever see the class of the tyrannical
teacher riot the day their instructor
was absent? Ever see the school that
had been held under fear by the head
master express joy at release from
his presence and rule? Then YOU
know
Love casteth out fear And love is
the soil and the root and the growth
all in one. 1t can't fail and fear can't
win.
