have never been one to feel that
the best love was won from child by
extreme indulgence. In fact, hold
that the contrary is the rule. Observ-

have not been the most devoted to
their fathers and mothers. On the
contrary. having had the happiness

families where discipline is so OBJ
served are those whose children are
most affectionate.
Be 1t noted that strictness does not
mean harshness or severity. 1t does
stand for reasonable rules, positively
enforced, for commands which must
be obeyed. and above all. 1t should
stand for justice.
We're asked to put in word the

although this is meaning often APP

to orders and penalties when orders

also an appreciation OF the child's
standpoint, an almost agonizing care
that he should not be punished with
out adequate cause, a rigid adherence
to promise of reward as well as Of re-
buke, an understanding OF, what led
to this or that course Of action which
from an adults viewpoint may seem

conversation, and it follows that con-

the power of expression in all of

Needlework.

An acceptable gift for man is q
bag to hold two or three clean shirts
in his suitcase when travelling. The
bag is best made Of gray linen, shaped
like a long manila. envelope, with the
flap on the end. Make it just large
enough to allow the shirts to fit in
snugly. Bind the bag with colored
braid and fasten the flap by button.
On the flap the mans initials may be
embroidered.
Elderberries and their leaves make
attractive designs for fancy work OF
different sorts. The berries them
selves look natural because the wood
en- beads which are used to represent
them are exact in size and coloring.
Tan colored linen shows off this es-
pecial pattern to the best advantage.

Health Notes

A dash Of lemon juice in water is
good tooth wash It not only re-
moves tartar. but also sweetens the
breath.
Colored and scented soaps are not
considered as sanitary as the white
soaps, both coloring and scent being
often added to disguise impurities.
To prevent or cure those wind free
kles make lotion by mixing equal
parts of honey and lemon juice or
honey and eaude cologne together and
massage it into the face before going
out.
Drink lemonade freely during the
summer, but do not have it too
sweet. It quenches thirst better than
water when one is ironing or doing
household work that creates thirst on
hot summer days.
There is an excellent old skin TOMS
used for generations which will prob
ably be of interest to the woman
readers of this page. It may be pre-
pared at home and contains nothing
that is in the least harmful to the
face, which is more than can be said
of so many of tho socalled skin tonics
on the market. Make a bag Of cheese
cloth, double thickness, and fill it
with bran, teaspoonful of orris root
and half cake of casteel soap chop
ped up fine. This bag may be used
in the bath and on the face and makes
the skin smooth white and firm.

Soft Boiled Eggs. To boil an ege
properly drop it in boiling water, GOV.

minutes without cooking. In using
this method the white is concealed,

an egg is boiled. Five minutes is the

MAKING YOUR

BY Lucy Lowell

MOST Of use become diSsatis-
N4 fled at times with what we
are doing.
We feel that our work isn't up
to what it might be; that it falls
woefully short Of expressing the
best that is in us, Of making US
the ideal Of our dreams, the per-
son we would like to be.
It's a good thing, this discon-
tent, when It Is taken as a slim.
ulant and not as crushing
force, destroying ambition.
The self-satisfied person is a
person going backward, for there
is no standing still. Il you are
perfectly contented at all times
with the powers you are express
ing. your past. achievements, you
have said good-by to progress.
It is dissatisfaction with your.
self and with things as they are
that drives you on; sends you
spectacularIy out beyond the
herd.
But we, all of us, sometimes
feel ourselves caught in a pocket
held back by environment, injus.
tice, adverse conditions.
We say. IF I only had q little
more opportunity and sit down
to resent someone over US in
authority, or some limit that
seems unfairly placed upon our
progress.
The thing is to know that what
you want to do Is the thing you
can do. II you're an expert book
keeper, don't waste your chances
yearning to be an artist. The
world needs good bookkeepers al
much as It needs artists.
Be honest with yourself. Dom
misjudge ability for talent, Of
talent for genius. Believe II
what you have and make thu
most OF It.
by doing this you will grow
and you'll be surprised to fine
how much opportunity will b.
made for you!
