succeed in such a vocation.
But Miss X s name j. wrong. The

Ny Neighbor Says:

When any frying operation Is
finished. remember TO draw the
pan of fat to one side OF the
stove at once to prevent 1t from
burning. When 1t is somewhat
cooler. strain the fat through a
sieve, into the basin in which II
is usually kept, so that ii will be
ready for use again.
Brooms that have been stood
up the wrong way get crushed.
Put a half-filled kettle on the
fire and when the steam comes
strongly from the spout apply
the crushed part to IL. In a
minute or two the bristles will
rise into their original position.
While steaming. the hand should
be passed briskly over the sur
face Of the broom to hasten its
fecuve for all brooms and
brushes, whether bristles or
fiber.
Boots and shoes TO be kept in
good condition ought often to be
cleaned, whether they are worn
or not, care also being taken
that they are not left in a damp
place or put too near the fire TO
dry. In cleaning take care to

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Children Will Grow Up.

Mothers take their responsibilities
toward their children SO seriously that
one almost would think they well
coined problems merely for the sheer
pleasure of solving them.
II is the unmarried person listen
ing to roomful of mothers Immersed
in the cares and worries of bringing
up their families who are very likely
to remark: How do you ever have the
courage to have children when there
are so many things YOU have to do
just right?'
One is inclined to stop once in this
mad chase after the correct answer
to every problem of childhood and find
a rosy lining in the cloud. No matter
If you do make q mistake children do
grow up anyway. and to judge from
the brand of adults which we see all
about us, no matter what mistakes
the mother has made, the finished
articles are very much alike.
1t is fine thing to hold on to ones
sanity by remembering that one single
mother can't think of everything;
can't always do exactly right no mat
ter how hard she tries: and can't rear
her children as easily and perfectly
as educators and authorities would
have US believe. What one can do
is TO live sanely and wisely in nor
NAL and healthful fashion. Then, if
John shows a distressing symptom of
dishonesty, one can cling to the be-
lief that he is not going to be a thief
because all about him he is having
the daily example of persons who are
living by the code of honesty. 1t
would be almost impossible. if his
home conditions were ideal, for any
child to grow up without morals or
hnnnSfy- thn,roh Il h.,
childish lapses which terrify the
mother.
This is not TO say that the mother
must not be conscientious. But it is
to say that the right home atmos-
There, constant, loving understanding,
and not cruel nagging and scolding.
will do more to develop q child and
pack him into the correct adult mold
than a short sighted adherence to
every proper rule of human conduct
and a merc!less effort to teach each
and every one of them to the grow
ing sprig:
Children, in spite of most of their
faults, do manage to grow up into
quite ordinary adults, possessed OF
no more failingS than any of the
human race is heir to. One struggles
SO hard to make the children perfect
and one wonders sometimes when q
sense of humor does overpower us
just what in the world one would dc
with a perfect child. The prospect
is rather awful to contemplate
What we do want is just an ordi
nary child possessed of good sense
a decent sense of restraint. an under
standing of ethics and morals and q
saving grain of imperfections. Just
enough of this last to make then
lovable, understandable individuals.

Answer.-All babies should take it
in the Wintertime when they don't
get enough skyshine, beginning with.
say, 10 drops twice daily with some
orange juice. or prune juice when the
baby is a month old. and increasing
the dose a few drops each week until
the baby takes teaspoonful twice

A Futile Search

The king was very sad over the loss
OF his son because the il-humored
fairyS condition had not been full
filled, yet he did not completely de
spair.
He offered a great reward for any
information concerning him and had
notices placed all over the kingdom,
proclaiming in big letters he treasure
he was willing TO give to any one who
might aid in the return of the little
prince.
But days passed, and weeks, and
months. and still no word came which
might lead to his discovery. The king
became very downhearted, until finally
one day something strange happened.
The ill-humored fairy is dressed all
in green except for her shoes and
stockings, which are brown.
