Many of us can loolT over the list of
our acquaintances and see where "the
hands that loved” have been the hands
that pulled down the self-respect of that
loved one. I know a woman, now well

If such be the case in friendship, how

What a Well Wisher Thinks
Dear Miss Thomas: «
Having been a reader of the Household for
some time I have often thought, after reading
the good letters in the Household. I would
write but fear of> the waste basket kept me
silent. After reading the letters on “Uplifting
Amusements" I could keep silent no longer.
God bless the man who wrote that letter. I
would to God all who have the care of children
would do as he says in regard to the places of
amusement,their children attend. I believe par
ents are largely at fault for the condition of
society today. If they would see tiiat their
children only went to places where everything i
tended to the uplifting of their minds bow j
soon we would see a great improvement in not
only morals of the young people, but also in
religion. May God help us all to get on 1

trouble with them yet. My husband died near

We have the best country school to be found

please them. The teachers were raised in this
community and one of them has been teaching
thiM school for ten years. She has never become
impatient with any of the children, she will
make even the worst boy love her; then it la
not hard to get him to study. She has pre
pared several of our children for college and
she seeps up her interest In them while there.
So it makes the children do their very best.
They seem to think that it will bring discredit
on her if they don’t get alopg well at college.

The Homes Foundation Stones
Dear Household; B. W. 0.. I agree with you
in regard to amusements, boys and girls must
bare social intercourse and recreation for the
best development of their natures. The church
and good people of every community should In
torcst themselves in the social welfare of the
young people, because if left to choose for
themselves they are very likely to choose the
less Mevating diversions—amusements that in
no wav conduce to higher, nobler Ilves.
Mrs.’ Solon H. Reese, one Householder anjoyed
your letter, and I have resolved to try to be
an opportunity taker and not an opportunity
breaker.
M. L. H., why not give us a few strokes from
your facile pen.
Dear Patsie. I enjoyed your nice letter. I, too,
love a big, cheerful wood fire. Isn’t It nice,
after the day’s work is done, to sit by a crack
ling fire with your favorite book to read? How
often we find ourselves gazing into the flames
and building air castles. What wonderful possi
bilities we see there —what beautiful castles we
can see rising up with the bright flame, only to
be dissolved in smoke!
Have you ever read Ik Marvel's "Reveries ot
a Bachelor?” As you follow bls beautiful
thoughts in the visions of the fire, they seem
so teal and so full of pathos that you will find
yourself on the verge of teats many times be
fore you have finished.
Sidney Lanier, the poet, said: “An open fire
and music make a home.” And 1 think they
do go a long way toward making a happy home.
Since I last visited the Household I have
taken the “leap in the dark" and am now pre
siding over a little home of my own.
The new husband and his new wife have agreed
that a case of genuine love, a supply of good
common seuse and a big quantity of Industry are
three very essontial elements in building a happy
home. So we have set to work, and out of then-.
materials we expect to construct that dearest of
all places on earth—a home.
The Journal is already a semi-weekly visitor
to our home. It is a much-prized friend and we
don’t want to keep house without it.
Though, of course, we have experienced some
of the drawbacks of new home-makers and have
not everything just as we would wish, and
though sometimes the little home-builder gets
lonely and heart-sick for a sight of the dear
bomefolks, left some distance away, we have
many bright plans and hopes for the future.
We haven’t reached the first quarrel yet, and.
as a preventive, we have agreed that both must
not get in th- “dumps” at the same time—
when one gets cross or cranky the other is
bound to maintain an angelic mood.
It seems senseless to me for two people to be
forever disagreeing and clashing into each other.
Os course, everyone has a right to his or her
opinions and convictions; the marriage vow
doesn't interfere with such rights, and I am
wiiliug to let everyone hare bls own personal
opinion without any Interference on my part ot
trying to make him believe just exactly as I do.
The trifling things over which some people will
disagree are worse than senseless. They often
create a whirlwind-sandstorm over a’ mere
nothing which is entirely lost sight of in the
clutter and dnst they raise.
A man once aaked his wife to hand him the
shears. She said. “They are not shears, they
are scissors.” He insisted they were shears and
she persisted they were scissors until both be
came angry and he stuck her head tn a tub of
water to convince her. When he finally raised
her head, unconvinced she strangled and sput
tered out. “Sclsh-s-i-sors!”
One of the great preachers of our day says.
"Men will never be guided, governed or helped
by an angry woman. If yon can’t learn to
control your temper and choose sober words. yot»
will never have a happy home.”
Be it ever so bumble and lowly, “there’s
beauty all around, when there's love at home.”
“A man can build a mansion,
And furnish It throughout;
A man can build a palace.
With lofty walls and stout;
A man can build a place
With high and spacious dome:
But no man in the world can build
That precious thing called home.”
With sincere wishes for all.
BEULAH BELL.

of boric acid—four drops in the eyes twice
a day. (2) To your shoetops. (3) If-your
eyes ache or your head aches you had
better consult an oculist. Be sure your

What are consecutive thirds in music,
and do they occur often?
Can you recommend anything better
than cocoa butter for massaging the
chest? I use it for 15 minutes every night.
How soon will I see an improvement?
INTERESTED READER.
A.—(l) Consult “Abbreviations and Con
tractions,” in the, back of your diction
ary.
(2) Consult musical dictionary.
(3) Cocoa butter is very good. Bathing
the chest with a towel wrung out of cold
water and slapping vigorously with towel
night end morning is also said to be good.
Eat flesh-producing foods, get plenty of
sleep, and you should soon see an im

so do not know how to proceed. Will you
please advise me?
CONSTANT READER.
A.—A kimono of plain color Is a neces
sity—one of soft black chailie or sateen
preferable. Carry with you a bag ■in
which you have all toilet articles needed,
and your gown, kimono, fresh handker
chiefs and such things. Undress in the
toilet room, fold your garments as you
remove them, and place all except your
dress In the bag. Your wraps and hat
you will have left in the receptacle pro
vided for them in the berth. Put on your
gown and kimono; then go to your berth,
which the porter has made ready for you.
Fold your dress carefully and put it
with your coat. When you arise in the
morning, take your belongings into the
toilet room and dress. Watch your fel
low travelers, and do as they do. Y’ou will t
have no trouble, I’m sure.
Dear Miss Grey: I am 18 and have had
a sweetheart for a year. We see each
other very often, 'and he tells me I am
the only girl he loves. He has done noth
ing to make me think he is not telling
the truth, but the last two weeks I have
doubted him. He says if there is anything
he can do to prove his love, he will do It.
What shall I ask him to do?
DOUBTFUL. I
A.— Don’t allow, doubts and suspicions
to enter your mind. If you do. begin
ning so young, you are in a fairway to
be a miserably unhappy woman. Believe
in your sweetheart as he believes in you,
and don’t clemand proof of his affection.
As a warning, I want to remind you that
mistrust usually begets mistrust.

Dear Miss Grey: My daughter is 15, has
dark complexion, black hair and brown [
eyes. What is her becoming color? She j
has outgrown her last fall's coat, and I
will have to buy a new one for spring.
Is she too young for a coat suit? If so,
what will I get? How will I take a ker
osene spot out of my brown wool skirt?
GERTRUDE.
A.—Dark red, or the new shades of
blue, would be becoming to your daugh
ter. Do not buy her a coat suit or an
other coat, since she is growing so rapid
ly. Capes are in style, and are very
pretty on girls of her age. Buy a good
pattern and make it yourself, as they are
easily made. Broadcloth is the best ma
terial. It should reach her shoe-tops,
which length her dresses should be if she
is large. A pretty little one-piece dress
of challis or cashmere in the same shade
as the cape would be very pretty to wear
with it, and would do away with the
need of a coat suit.
Wash the kerosene spot with suds made
with good white soap, warm water and
ammonia; then rinse with clean, warm
water and press dry.

Dairy Notes
A Babcock tester can be bought
for from $4 up, and the man who
first uses one on his cows should
prepare himeelf to change his opin
ion of some of them.
It Isn’t always the big milker
which shows best when the tester
is used.
Professor Erf says the civilization
of a people can be determined by
the quantity of milk they use.
Sure, only highly' civilized people
keep cows that give enough milk
to make it worth while to get into
the habit of making butter and
cheese.
The separator is a mighty good
thing notwithstanding what the
separator manufacturers say about
each others’ machines.
The man who feeds each cow by
the same rule will never get the
most out of his herd.
Cows have peculiarities of taste
as well as other people. The best
cow we ever had preferred dishwa
ter and such slops to any cleanly
mash we could give her—and she got
what she liked best, swill out of the
barrel from which the hogs got
theirs.
Milk is mostly water—all milk,
not just tlie kind the milkman
leaves at the door. Cows cannot
make milk without plenty of water
and they like good water too.
At the old home farm, the cows
used to wade right through the
creek to come to the well to drink.
The old man educated those cows
to an appreciation of a good drink.
Skim, the milk as soon as all the
cream has come to the top. This
wilt be about the time it turns sour
in the summer.
Churn often and never allow the
cream to become too sour if you
want sweet butter.—Miller Purvis.

Cottolene Never Makes Food Greasy
Food cooked with hog lard and compounds is so thickly
coated with grease as to give the gastric juices little chance
to assimilate and digest it. Cottolene contains no hog fat. It
does not coat the food with grease, and food cooked with it
is easily digested.
From the standpoint of health, there is no comparison
between food cooked with Cottolene and food cooked with lard.
Lard is just hog fat— Cottolene is a vegetable
product of Nature.
Cottolene makes food which any stomach can
digest and builds up the tissues of the body.

Celery Needs Moisture
All celery varieties like a rich and moist
(not wet) soil. When the soil is dry,
water must be supplied by irrigation or
other ways, else the plants will suffer.
For the celery crop I sow Golden Self-
Blanching or White Plume seed In flats
under glass along in February and trans
plant the young seedlings either in nur
sery rows rather thickly to make plants
for retransplanting, or at the right dis
tance in the rows and proper width be
tween the rows to grow the crop. From
six to eight inches is about right from
plant to plant, and three to four feet
from row to row, If the plants are to
be blanched by means of boards, which
to me seems to be the simplest method.
For the late crop Giant Pascal or some
other green celery is selected, and seed
planted usually in plant beds in open
ground in July, or perhaps even August,
the plants are transplanted, and set in
well-prepared soil, with about eight
inches of space between the plants, and
four feet or more space between the
rows. Neither patch should- ever be per
mitted to suffer from lack of water.
Raise More Market Poultry

growing market poultry? Certainly not.
need fanciers —real fanciers. We want men to
create breeds and to perfect the old ones. But
the speculator and huckster is fast seeing his
f The man with a string of breeds is not a
fancier. He is a speculator. It would be next
to impossible for him to give each of these
breeds his be«t attention. To thoroughly know
a breed, and to get out of it all that is good in
it would require an ordinary life time.
Amateur fanciers will often buy cuUs from a
breed well advertised arffi then advertise eggs
for hatching from so and so's strain. The man
is a worse enemy of the fancier than the man
who breeds dungbill fowls.
A wonderful interest has sprung up in poultry
matters. Large sums of money are being in
vested. and poultry farms by the score are
started. • ....
These new farms are on the lookout for utility
stock. The man who can advertise big egg
records generally gets the trade. They want
carcasses and egg records —business poultry. ■'>
