respect on the part Of the child.
Many parent has lost his authority |
over his child by failing to realize this
and control himself.
Punishment is an interesting and
important subject, but one that needs
a whole big discussion of its own for
adequate treatment. 1t is sufficient
here to say that punishments always
should be mild fitting the offense, and
deserved. No parent who has made a
mistake and inflicted punishment un-
justly ever wants to go through the
experience again The most successful
parents have little need for punish
ments other than those that follow as
natural consequences Of the act itself.
"One Of the greatest difficulties in
training children arises from the fact
that the children in the home are of
different ages, that they have different
Compartments, and that father and
mother have different dispositions and
standards. No one can lay down direc-
tons for handling every situation, for
the problem is different in every home,
and for practically every child. The
training of children is the homes most
vital problem, and it is one that must
be approached, as our puritan ances-
tors used to say, prarefully. There are
many good books dealing with chill
dren, that are Of great help provided
one is willing to give the time to their
study; but this will only be done by
those who recognize the Importance
of the problem of training their chill
dren, and who make it their main in
trest in life"
Baking Powder
Mother, what makes the little holes
in the cake?" THAT is because |
used baking powder, to make the cake
light, dear" "What's baking powder
made Off" Well, what is mother to
answer to that? How many women
know much more about baking powder
than that it acts much as yeast does ?
Some know that there is alum in some
kinds of baking powder, and that there
has for years been an argument afoot
as to whether alum in it is harmful.
(The last decision | heard was that
it was not. 1t is not the alum sold in
drug stores, but a different chemical
sodium.) The ponit is, do housekeep-
ers generally know that it is the gen.
GRAFTON of carbon dioxide gas by the
chemical constituents of the baking
powder taht forms the tiny bubbles
which cause the cake and biscuits to
rise, becoming light and porous? The
reason that baking powder is quicker
in action than yeast is because it forms
the gas by direct chemical action, in
stead of fermentation as the yeast
does. And fermentation is the action
caused by the growth of tiny little
yeast plants, which takes little time
Baking soda, or bicarbonate of soda
is the chief ingredient of most baking
powders, but they are usually classec
in one or another of three groups, ac-
cording to the supplementary sub
stances contained cream of tartar
powders Containing potassium bitart
rate), phosphate powders Containing
some such phosphate at potassium
orthophosphate), and the alum powd
sodium aluminium sulphate). A littl,
starch is added to keep the chemicals
from acting on each other before they
are needed to do so. Very much thu
same result is secured by using baking
soda with sour milk. If used alone thu
soda leaves an unpleasant taste an
smell. The other ingredients in bak
ing powder are added to prevent this
