for
Mothers
Individuality In Children's Clotheo.
The aim of every fastidious mother
is, to dross her child simply and In n
becoming manner. Her clothes sho-ald
bo a part of her and not obtrude them
selves. Some mothers think that If the
child takes too much Interest In her
clothee she will become self conscious.
On the other hand, the child who
knows that she Is appropriately dress
ed, as a rule, forgets entirely about
herself and her frock, and It becomes
as much a part of her as her hair.
The growing mind of tho child is
very sensitive to Impressions, and If
she loarns early in life the cardinal
principles of good dressmaking it will
be as easy and as natural for her to ,
apply them as she grows up as any of
the other lessons of life.
Sensitiveness to Color.
come cuuuron are very sensitive 10
color. They take n strong prejudice to
certain colors. A red gown on a very
high strung girl has been known to
bring on a degree of excitement which
frequently resulted in Utntruins, while
a frock of a more pleasing color would
instantly soothe and quiet her. This is,
of course, an extreme case, but there
ore more children than mothers realize
who suffer cruelly from being compel
led to wear clothes which in color and
style nro distasteful to them. Instead
of trying to force tho child to wear
these clothes as a matter of training,
the situation should be studied and the
reason found for tho child's objection.
Child Must Be Considered.
It takes, ns a rule, such a little time
and so short an explanation to get the
child's point of view that it Is a pity
many mothers go ahead and order
their children's clothes without a
thought of tho Individuality of the
wearer, for children are so set In their
ideas that they will not listen to rea
son and will not be guided by their
mother's judgment, but It is necessary
for them to feel that tho mother Is a
competent guide. In these days, when
the whole system of teaching In tho
schools is to bring out tho individuality
of the child, It is not surprising that
tho girl, even before she enters her
teens, may feel competent to question
Just how much mother does know
about the right clothes for her. It Is
necessary for the mother of today to
study the clothes problem as it pre
sents Itself for her child. She will find
that it is not the least of the problems
which confront her, nor can it be solv
ed offhand at a minute's notice. Tho
day when one dress could be passed
down the lino from one youngster to
another is over. Tho manufacturer as
much as any one has hastened Its de
parture, for few of tho present day
fabrics will withstand more than a
season's wear and tear.
If the mother is to guide her child in
tho selection of becoming and appro
priate clothing she will teach her to
study herself. The designers of chil
dren's clothing are quite ready to help
the perplexed mother by offering her
gowns and coats and hats of many
styles, almost as varied as those for
older folk. The mother who selects
successfully the costumes most appro
priate for her daughter will cast aside
her own preferences. She may de
light in the fascinating Kate Green
away gowns and coats, but unless her
girl is of a picturesque type she will
be wise to pass them by.
The Awkward Child.
The robust, tall, awkward child who
promises to be a fine looking woman,
but who in her early teens Is the de
spair of many mothers, would look
ridiculous In a Kate Greenaway frock,
whereas she would forget her awk
wardness in a well cut Russian blouse,
where the low waist line would detract
from her height. Just as there are wo
men who always look well in severe
costumes, so there are children who
have a certain style In the simplest of
costumes nnd who become wholly com
monplace in appearance the mlnuto.
they are dressed up In frills and furbe
lows. It is far better to dress a girl of
this type in a plain little frock of soft
woolen or cashmere, if a wash mate
rial is not desired, than in a frock deco
rated with lace and embroidery, with
ruffles and shlrrings. On the other
hand, there are children who are fairly
Irresistible in dainty muslin frocks be
rlbboned and beruflled.
What a Yawn Tells.
When children bite their nails this
often points to some digestive trouble,
so do not scold your bairns for this
nasty trick, but diet them very care
fully and consult a doctor if they seem
at all out of sorts. In older people the
habit often goes with a hasty temper,
which, in its turn, may be traced to a
bad digestion.
Constant, uncontrollable yawning
way sometimes point to a growth in
the nose and throat. Tho person can
not breathe properly, so he is forced to
yawn, not by weariness, but in order
)f tYaw more air into his lungs.
Games For Children's Parties.
Do not choose an elaborate game for
a children's party. You must not, for
instance, have ono which involves tho
use of a song or speech, as many of the
children will not know the words and
consequently will feel "out of It" A
clever game of the "sit down and
think" kind may bo very good for
grown people, but it merely bores the
little ones and makes them cross and
NEW TALES
THAT ARE TOLD
The Financier's Rest.
rierre Lotl, the famous French nu
thor, praised American energy at tho
Ilotel Marie Antoinette In New York.
"There's a story," ho said, "that Il
lustrates well the energy of your men
of affairs.
"A gentleman called at the ofllce of
an Indefatigable millionaire financier.
It was 4 o'clock In the afternoon, -and
the financier lay back in a revolving
chair with his feet on his desk nnd a
picture magazine in his hand.
'"I've worked mighty hard for the
last ten years without a day's vaca-

tlon,' ho explained. 'I feel all run
down, and I'm now going to take n
long rest.'
" 'And a well earned rest it will be,
too,' said the visitor heartily.
"The visitor departed, expecting that
the millionaire would set out at once
for Europe or California, but the next
morning he saw him presiding ns bus
ily as ever at an important directors'
meeting.
" 'Why, how about that long rest?' he
asked.
"The millionaire frowned In amaze
ment. " 'Didn't I take It yesterday after
noon?' he said."
KING FUN AT
THE SHIP
Humorist Ford Has a Word to
Say About Lite at 'Sea,
Simeon Ford discussed thousand
foot piers for steamships at a banquet
aboard the new Lamport-nolt liner
Vestris, which plies between Brooklyn
and South America.
"Since tlie steamships are so anxious
for longer berths for themselves, let
'em reciprocate," said Mr. Ford. "No
six foot man can sleep In a berth on a
steamship unless he puts accordion
plaits in his legs.
"But tho proprietors of these float
ing hotels have us land hotel men
beaten to a frazzle. They collect your
money before you room. If a patron
becomes obstreperous he can be hung
up at the yardarm. On land it's the
proprietor who is hung up.
"And Just see what an easy life tho
captain has simply puts on a clean
uniform each day, steps up to the
bridge and points some funny busi
ness at tho sun. Then he tells you
how many miles the ship went in the
day, and it never agrees with your de
cision for the ship's pool in the smok
ing room.
"The captain on this ship Is lucky
his vessel runs out of Brooklyn. I ran
out of Brooklyn years ago." New
York Press.
Unspeakable Shot.
"As a shot," said Major W. B. Mar
tin, the Olympic rifle champion he was
discussing a millionaire "the man Is
unspeakable. He leased a place In
England for the pheasant shooting
There is one very bad wood on the
estate, and boys are employed to beat
It. 'Stops, you call them, and you re
quire a lot. Well, last year when ho
came to shoot over this particular wood
he found that tho 'stops' were all
grown men. That would mean a Dig
extra expense, and he took his head
keeper to task about it.
" 'How is it,' he said, "that you don't
give me boy stops this year?'
" 'Well, ye seo, sir,' said the keeper,
touching his cap respectfully, 'the fact
Is, sir, that y.o shot the boys down
rather close last year, sir.' "Washing

The Pipe That Failed.
This story is told about ex-Senator
J. S. Clark of Calais, Me. One day
While awaiting his turn In a barber
shop in Calais he was talking with a
friend and was so deeply Interested in
the conversation that be allowed his
pipe to go out several times. Each
timo ho would ask Melvin Noble, a lo
cal practical Joker, for a match.
About the time he wanted tho fifth
match Noblo said, "I don't begrudge
you the matches, Jed, but I think it
would be cheaper for you to put a
grato in your pipe nnd burn coal."-

This matter must not be reprinted with

Corn and alfalfa make a combina
tion that is hnrd to beat on the dairy
farm.
The hens need Htrcnuous exercise
these days to keep, them from becom
ing sluggish and Inactive.
Cornmeal, wheat bran and ground
oats, equal parts, and a few hnudfuls
of beef scrup, molsteued with skim
milk, make a line morning feed for
laying hens.
A small paddock for the horse to run
In Is cheaper thun veterinary bills nnd
a good deal cheaper than losing the"
horse by death through lack of a place
in which to exercise.
The dealers who had large quantities
of eggs In cold storage can hardly be
said to have met the new year In a
cheerful frame of mind. It is apparent
that the "worst is yet to come."
Hats and mice are such all round
nuisances and so destructive that traps
should be kept set for them all the
time. Only in this way can the ro
dents be kept in anything like subjec
tion. In three Instances which have come
under the writer's notice lately little
children from one to two yenrs old
have been scalded to death by falling
Into pans or tubs of hot water left on
the floor by busy mothers.
If the job has not been nlready done
the little orchard trees should be given
a protective covering of wood veneer,
wire screen or common newspaper.
Such protection will prevent damage
by both rabbits and field mice.
Tho hens of tho United States laid
1,700,000,000 dozen eggs in 1912. which
were worth 5350,000,000. The value of
fowls of nil kinds raised was $1220,000,
000, which brings the total value of
poultry products up to $570,000,000.
Analyses show sorghum seed to have
about three-fourths of the feeding val
ue of corn. Like corn, It should be
balanced as n ration with tankage or
ollmeal. Owing to the hardness of the
seed it gives best results in feeding
when ground.
Both meat und fish, as well as fruit,
put up in tin cans should be removed
to a glass or earthenware vessel as
soon as tho cans are opened. Most
cases of ptomaine poisoning are the
result of allowing these products to re
main for some time in their tin retain
ers. That big turkey that was furnished
the White House family and whose
crop was given daily massaging to fa
cilitate the process of digestion prob
ably did taste a bit better than tho fine
little eight pound hen turkeys that
graced the tables of hundreds of folks
all over the land.
It is really feed economy to blanket
the horse that has to stand in the open
during tho cold weather, as blood Is re
quired to furnish animal heat and feed
is required to make blood. However,
when tho horses nre standing Idle In
the stable or ronmlug around in the
yard the blanket Is a rather expensive
substitute for the currycomb and
brush.
When a boy gets to the ago of fifteen
and thinks he is so smart that he does
not need any more schooling and on
top of this becomes addicted to the
reading of yellow back ten cent yarns
(ho usually gets to reading these be
fore ho decides to quit school) he la
headed straight for humanity's scrap
heap, and unless he is Jarred to his
senses by something out of the usual
Is pretty sure to land there.
Nine men nnd boys killed and some
thirty-three wounded more or less se
riously is tho score In Ohio for the
thirty days' open season for shooting
rabbits. This Is about as bad as the
showing during the open season on
deer in Maine and Michigan. What
the writer can't understand about the
Ohio situation Is not that there were
so many killed and Injured, but why
tho open season on rabbits Is not
twelve months In the year, as it is in a
good many other states.
At the second session of the Sixty
second congress $50,000 was appropri
ated for use by the department of ag
riculture in horse breeding experiments
havlnc in view the development of a
type of hora suitable for army pur
pose. Last season several eastern
borsetien placed flno sires at the dis
posal of the department, with tho un
derstanding that tho colts resultlngwere
to be purchased by tho government
provided they were of the type desired
The appropriation made Is for the car
rying on f this work.
Whllo tho fall set strawberry bed
may be all' right for sections where the
winters aro mild and there is abundnnt
moisture, the better time for nil of that
section east of tho Itockles U next
April, about the time you will be plant
lug your early potatoes.
They tell of "rare days in June," and
it is so, brt those nre likewise rare
days In October and Novomber when
it is warm enough so that a fellow Isn't
running a heavy fire, yet cool enough
so thnt he is not under tho necessity of
paying toll to the lec man.
A clean, well drained barnyard is es
sential from tho standpoint of produc
ing clean milk, not taking Into consid
eration the comfort and satisfaction of
milking in such ynrd. Tho barn should
be located with tho idea of obtaining a
slope away from tho farm buildings.
It Is worth while putting a barrel of
apples In the cellar for tho youngsters
simply for the happy recollections they
will have In after years of tho pleasure
taken in eating them. Incidentally
these same apples are helpful to tho
digestion and disposition of older folk
if eaten Just before going to bed.
In"protecting the rosebushes for the
winter n very satisfactory plan is to
:over them with an old door or boards
which will shield the canes from the
thawing influence of the winter sun
shine. If no litter is put around them
there is far less likelihood that the
mice will And a harbor near them and
bark the stalks.
Feeders of beef cattle have come to
be pretty well agreed that better re
sults are secured if the grain ration is
mixed with the roughage, tills arrange
ment resulting In a more thorough mas'
tlcatlon as well as assimilation of the
ration. It seems to be in quite a meas
ure duo to this fact that silage is prov
ing so satisfactory a ration for fatten
ing steers.
Tho interest on the amount invested
In tho materials necessary to build a
machine shed Is in most cases a good
deal less than the amount already tied
up in machinery to bo protected. Tho
slipshod manner in which high priced
farm machinery Is exposed to the ele
ments constitutes ono of the big yet
avoidable leaks In American farm
management
A vaccine to check tho ravages of
the horse plague Is being manufactured
by tho branch station of the Kansas
Agricultural college at Hoxio at tho
rate of 0,000 doses every day. The
station will ship the remedy to nny
district which makes application for
It. The state veterinarian, Dr. Schoen
leber, reports that but nineteen horses
died out of 2,030 treated, two-fifths of
which were from herds In which many
nnimals had died.
Itoup in tiie poultry family is what
bad colds are in the humnn species. In
the early stages of the disease n mix
ture made of ten drops of carbolic acid
and a tablespoonful of kerosene is ex
cellent, five drops of this being given
twice a day. If the roup does not yield
nnother medicine may bo given made
by adding five drops of aconite to a
pint of water. Besides this treatment,
the affected fowls should bo put by
themselves nnd kopt dry and warm.
The frying pan may be a handy im
plement, but too many families do
pend upon It altogether too largely in
the preparation of their bill of fare.
Vegetables boiled are always more di
gestible than those fried, while broiled
meats are not only more wholesome
than those fried but more toothsome
as well.' The frying pan Is a fertile
source of Indigestion, bad temper and
domestic Infelicity, and yet a whole
lot of folks don't seem to realize the
fact
Unless the supply of seed corn Is
husked and pretty, woll dried out before
the first bard freezo there will be the
same stow and sweat noxt spring about
seed corn that there was last spring.
Owing to tho constant effort of farmers
living in the north part of the com belt
to grow a larger typo of corn than can
well mature in their latitude a good
deal of com does not ripen naturally
and dry cures on tho stalk, as it used
to years ago, and tho result is that It is
no longer safe to select seed ears at
husking time.
James J. Hill, the great railroad mng
nato nud empire builder, of Bt. Paul
has in view a plan which if put Into
execution is suro to mean much to tho
farmers of Minnesota, the Dakotas and
Montana. He proposes to organize a
company for tho loaning of money to
the farmers of the territory referred to
at a rate of from 4 to 0 per cent,
Whereas they are at present paying 8
per cent or more. Mr. Hill usually
brings to pass tho plans he sets his
mind on, and the outcome of this need
ed enterprise will be watched with a
good deal of interest
Success in agriculture or horticulture
is too often attributed in too largo
measure to tho farm being in this or
that favored section, when tho truth
about tho matter probably is that suc
cess in cases noted is moro dependent
on the man his Intelligence and perse
verance than upon tho favorable en
vironment to be found In soil and cli
mate. The main thing is to have faith
And hang on and do tho best possible
r.nder conditions that may be afforded.
Doubtless many n man in the hope of
improving bis condition has moved to

DANGEROUS DANDRUFF
Will Mnlco America n Balrtliended
Nation if Not Checked.
M. Pasteur, the great iFrench phy
sician of Paris, once said: "I believe
we shall one day rid tho world of all
diseases caused by germs."
Dandruff Is caused by germs, a
fact accepted by all physicians.
Dandruff Is the root of all hair
evils. If it were not for the little
destructive germs working with a
persistency worthy of a better cause,
there would be no baldness.
'Parisian Sage will kill the dan
druff germs and removo dandruff in
two weeks or money back.
Peil, the druggist, guarantees it.
It will stop Itching scalp, falling hair
and make the hair grow thick and

It puts life and lustre Into the
hair and prevents It from turning
gray.
It is the hair dressing par excel-
