Edmund Vanco Cooke, Tho Child's Conscience Happy spirits in a grownup pro coed from a clear conscience, a sense of self-respect, plus a sense of the approval of tho world around him for which he cares, says Elizabeth Towne in December Nautilus. Ach'ld has no conscience except tho approval of its mother and its father. If the mothor teaches the child one thing, and the father says another, tho child grows a conscience with two branches which conflict with each other, and which eventually tear the child's heart and the child's mind until ho does not know what is right or wrong, and consequently follows tho impulse of tho moment, in a kind of reckless devil-may-care spirit. This is tho beginning and tho method of "going wrong." No grownup can have happy spirits whilo he is living contrary to his (jonscionce; no child can have nappy sp'rits whilo ho is living under the CONDEMNATION of either or both parents. It is absolutely, impossible for a child to come up right, in happy spirits the kind of spirits that mako him know the right and choose it and rejoice in it, and grow in wis dom and in knowledge of himself and his world no child can develop happy spirits in a family jar. Tho first duty of parents is to 'find a POINT OF AGREEMENT on gen eral policies, and when it comes to tho application of those policies, the parents MUST back up each other, stand by each other; remembering that the one who has started the particular piece of discipline in ques tion is the one who has the right of way. Tho differences between parents must be worked out in private, where no little pitchers can .possibly hear; and they must be administered with unanimity as well as equanimity. Care of Kitchen Equipment American women as a class have not practiced economy to any extent in the care of household equipment, the states relation service of the department of agriculture believes. There generally has been sufficient money to buy a new article when it was needed, or when there was a wish to buy, and the market has been well supplied with new devises to tempt the housewife. Now it is impossible to purchase some of the simplest arti cles because they are not being manu factured, The housekeeper is sud denly confronted with the unusual i .

Tho want of thought in tho care and use of equipment is often tho cause of its short life. Some of the apparently thrifling mistakes which cause utensils and tools to wear out before they should are the following: Contents of saucepans and kettles boiled until dry and the metal over heated. Handles, screws and fastenings of knives, forks, egg boaters, etc., loos ened from having been left in hot water. Metal utensils put away wet, caus ing them to rust. Covers put away wet with steam as they are taken off the saucepan. Brooms and brushes used continu ally on one side and worn. to a point. Brooms allowed to stand on the floor until their weight bends or breaks the straw. Glasses broken because the bottom instead of tho side is put. into hot water. China dulled by washing with too strong soap suds. Liquids spilled on rugs or polished surfaces because the container, was too full. Contents of the saucepan boiled over the stove or in the oven be cause allowance was not made for the expansion 6f liquids by heat. Burners of gas and oil stoves clog ged and useless by burned food. Rugs turn by having been held by the edge while shaking in cleaning. Glazing of porcelain and enamelled sinks, tubs and wash bowls scratched and broken by cleaning with coarse cleaning materials. Finish of furniture marred by plac ing hot dishes, medicine bottles and by spilling liquids on it. Furniture cracks and parts loos ened because the oil bath and rub are not applied regularly. China, broken in the refrigerator by placing heavier dishes on it. Dish towels scorched and stained when used for oven cloths and to lift uul aaucepans from tho stover 0nMiar?shed and oil wod work spoiled by washing with soap. .Springs in beds, couches and chairs ana other nieces of fnr.n,- t, i JSLI1 """. lump Sa .'.-j cuu luuguiy on them.
