Work which Represents Economy
By LYDIA LIE BARON WALKER.

The longer soap Is kept. especially
when exposed to air currents, the
harder it gets The harder 1t gets, the
longer 1t will last. It will not dissolve
wastefully. Soap, freshly made, that Is,
the kind purchasable which we desig-
nate as freshly made, Is comparatively
soft. It yields under pressure so that
q thumb or finger print can be MADE
easily in 1t. A thumbnail will make
dent or slit in it with very little pres
sure.
It is futile to consider the saving
small that accrues from buying soap in
quantity and ripening it by exposure to
air. The quantity of fresh soap that Q
family uses for laundry and kitchen
purposes during year will be found TO
be surprisingly large. If the home-
maker keeps track of this necessary
item she will realize the truth of this
Where fancy toilet soaps are used, many
of which cost one, two or more dollars
q cake, the saving Is more noticeable
per cake, although the quantity is
small. Home ripening OF soap pays
well.
Homemade. bread is another item
worth considering. The cost per loaf
compared with bakers bread Is approx
imately the same, bat the amount OF
the former required to satisfy family
Is smaller than the latter Here Is
another saving, although the initial
price be Identical Homemade cakes
can have the same thing said of them
Also both homemade breads and cakes
keep fresh longer. It is we'll for the
housewife to appreciate that her cook
cry is an asset in the home thrift con-
ditions. She must make her yiands as
tasty and tempting as food that is pur-
chased "ready-made." Otherwise the
comparison in her favor cannot be
well sustained. 1t is within the power
of every woman, however, to become o
competent cook.
The examples given clearly indicate
that there is more than the initial cost
of household articles that must be taken
into consideration when estimating saw
ing and outlay.

Kaening Teeth White.


Dear Miss Leeds: Ny teeth are yell

teeth fixed and last week ] had my last
appointment and had them cleaned.
expected them to become white, but
they are still yellow, even though they
were cleaned.
Won't I ever have white teetha Win
they always be yellow? OF course,
wouldn't expect them to be pearly white.
but certainly hate TO have them yellow
as I have very nice teeth except that
they are discolored.
Thank you ever 50 much for any help
you may offer, as I am so terribly dis
appointed. All the time I was going TO
the dentist was Just waiting for the
time when he would clean them: he
did, but they are still the same.
It's awful to have nice teeth and then
have them robbed OF ell beauty because
of the diScoloration. DOROTHY.
Answer.--Tn spite Of the best OF care
some teeth have tendency to become
quite yellow early in life. It is quite
natural, however, for the teeth to grad
ually become more yellow Is the years

although the initial cost is not lessened.
An instance of such economy imme-
diately comes to mind in the purchase
OF soap. The cost of soap is little, Ii
any, less when cakes are bought sep
arately or by the box, yet there is APP
preciable saving in getting it by the
box. The reason for this is found in
the texture of fresh soap compared with
that of soap that has been kept long
enough to ripen.

Your Baby and Mine

All of us are won't to expect immedi-
ate results from almost any new policy
we adopt. We are disappointed If the
miracle doesn't happen (the wrong con-
duct right itself or the new habit be-
come established overnight) and pooh
pooh the line of conduct we have
eSpouSed.
: Almost any change we make with
children is upsettinS some type OF be-
havior which has been going on for
months. If we want the baby to accept
a cup after months of bottle feeding,
or to feed himself after being fed, we
can't expect that these changes will
occur overnight. One mother stated
that after three weeks of patiently Of
fering a cup instead of a bottle she
gave up and went back to bottle feed
ing. Now she may as well face the
fact that it will probably take her six
weeks to arrive at the spot which she
had reached in three weeks before. The
child is going to feel that If he holds
out long enough he'll get the bottle
back.
There can be no going back in child
rearing. All the steps must go forward
Incidentally neither can there be any
standing still. We must move. Mrs.

have physicians become to this that
one of the greatest elements, namely,
sunshine. Is artificially produced and
artificial sun treatments are popular.
But it takes more than the sunlight to
give full benefit of outdoor fresh air.
The very atmosphere is therapeutic. And
It acts as a restorative to things, to in
animate articles, as well as to persons.
It is of these inanimate things we are
specially treating today.
Textiles that have lost whatever
stamina was theirs originally have it
restored in part or in full by hanging
out of doors. The air should circulate
freely around, about and through them.
Bring the things indoors when it gets
Damp before the sun goes down. The
dampness may not actually harm them,
but If allowed to remain in the mate
rails after they are folded and put
away the things may get musty, and
they surely will get creased.
1t is from lack of air circulating
through the weaves that fabrics become
musty. The dampness settles. 1t is
confined, and because it can find no
outlet it shows in mildew and exhales
musty smell.
Wall hangings should be hung out
OF doors once or twice year. It is
amazing what the fresh air will do in
the way Of adding to their continued
beauty and their resistance to wear
The very feel of the textiles expresses
a sort Of vitality after being given a
fresh air treatment as described
It used to be the custom to put up
holStered furniture out of doors occa-
gionally, when 1t was thoroughly brushed
and aired. This same furniture is
vacuum cleaned in the present era, and
seldom, If ever, has the benefit of the
fresh air treatment.
It is true that the cleaner is quite as
thorough, and more so, than the old
time beating and brushing in getting the

A Sermon for Today
Spirituality.
By REV. JOHN r. GUM.


ITO be spiritually minded is life and
peace. Romans, Wis.
Who is the spiritually minded man?
would not call one spiritually minded
simply because he wears a pious look
on his face and never goes anywhere
but to church.
Spirituality means something more
than pious mien and going to church.
Self-negation and abstinence from
worldly pleasures do not entitle one to
be called spiritual man. Asceticism is
not spirituality.
Simeon, the pillar saint" spent 81
years on the top of pillar, about a
yard square, living on one meal week,
and exposed to all sorts OF weather.
Wonderful endurance, but caricature
of spirituality. It would have been a
far more sanity and spiritual thing to
spend those 81 years in useful work.
Pillar saints are useless, and use
less life cannot be a spiritual life.
Spirituality means unselfiSh work for
others.
IT cannot leave a brick until know
1t is comfortable" said bptcklayer. He
was more spiritually minded than
Simeon, the pillar saint" He put his
soul into the walls he built, and he built
walls that were useful.
Spirituality begins with the desire to
be good, then rises to the desire to do
good.
Love is the essence of spirituality. 1t
makes us compassionate, and compels us
to communicate our good things. A cold,
selfish man. though he be an archangle
in the morality of negations, Is not
spiritual.
Paul says to be spiritually minded is
to have the mind of Christ. His mind
was expressed in a life of purity, sac
riflce and helpful service. To be truly
spiritual is to be like minded with Him,
to be good and do good.

The Story Teller.

Can you tell story? Then you have
the power to draw all children to you;
then you are great force in the educa-
ton of children. And you carry great
responsibility along with your gift, for
it is through stories that children get
values. They learn to love what your
voice teaches them to love. You see
what great gift you have and what a
responsibility?
Reading story is all very well. There
are few stories that children enjoy hear
ing as read from book. Stories ought
to be told with voice of color, with dra-
matte gesture, with emotion, with tact.
Story telling is an art.
But you can learn it. Maybe you
won't have the power of a master but
still power of your own that children
will feel and follow. First learn your

parts that are to be left out. Mark the
high spots. Tell it aloud to yourself
and watch in the mirror how 1t goes.
When you are sure you have 1t, try 1t
out on group Of children.
Watch the place where they begin to
wiggle. There is something wrong right
there. Try to get over that place next
time. Keep your story sharp, keep it
moving; cut descriptions of scenery:
accent dramatic happenings; avoid
talking down to the children. It Is
never necessary and always fatal. II
you select the right story, there Is no
need of talking down. Your audience
must be on level with you, or you lose
them.
Children won't stand for q tale with
moral at the end. Nobady can blame
them for that. If the story does not
tell its own tale, wherein Is the story,

and therefore no excuse for being.

strike out for some new ones. Search
the jungle Tales" Many of Kipling'S
stories can be told with great effect
Learn poems and recite them, especially
narrative poems. Sections of "Evange-
line" Tennyson's Princess" will give you
some fine bits. There are great stories
in the Bible. Ancient history furnishes
its share. The world is full of stories
If you will but look for them.
Every family of children needs story
teller-somebody whose delight it is to
search out wonders and recite them.
Every school room in the land needs q
story teller. Maybe it is your mission to
aid this work by learning to tell stories
better than anybody else in your town.
Every camp needs a story teller Camp
Is the one place, If there Is o one place,
for story teller.
Remember to choose your story to suit
the audience. You are very likely to
select the story to suit yourself and
never dream you are doing so. The law
of good taste works here as well as
other places. Ugly stories have no place
in the family circle, in the class room
or in the camp. Beauty is all about US,
and we, the children especially in the
