LYNCH Der me, I don't know whit to ' do wiih tht children hen thry art home from tcliool on Saturday i, they art to full of energy, and make jut to much extra work." Did you ever hear any one make the above remark? Yet, it thould be part of every child't training to . be responsible for tome household task, every child thould be made to feel that he or the i an intricate part of the home, that the home exist becaute of that child, and the child thould be brought to take a pride in helping to keep that home in good order. Oulaidc of the heavy clean ing even children at young ai 8 thould be responsible for the order of their bedrooms. A young man whose neatneti wat rcmatked wherever he roomed, told me that placing hit wearable in neat order in the dreer drawer or in the wardrobe had actually become a part of hhiiteli. Tor when lie . wat child it at hit duty ta put away all hit clothet each McnCay evening. If you own t vacuum cleaner, the : tiiechanically inclined hoy vill get ; at much fun out of cleaning one room or the entire house with the .' vacuum cleaner, perhapt, at he will out of chopping of pieces out of the hardwood floor with the axe, or an noying the neighbor't cat. Where two or more children are net to washing the dishci the tatlt becomes far lest irksome than when one child must do it alone. Bed- makinar every boy and girl thould learn. If you arrange to change your bed linens on Saturday the child eeM a chance to enjoy the psycholoRical effect of working with crisp, clean things. It will not hurt any boy or girl to either wash or iron such little articles as handkerchiefs. napKins, hair ribbons or the like. Kor will it be a great burden for the children to tew buttons on their ciotnes. Every sailor and every soldier has to know how to do it, and it might bi well to remind your boy of this if he objects to performing that which for come strange reason or other seems to be termed a femin ine" ta:lc. No task should take more than an hour or two from the child's day . of recreation. Tasks requiring shorter time might be arranged for after school hours each day. Small rewards such as a bit of money 01 a specially desired story book or a toy might be given as a reward for good work. A man told me recent ly that he enjoyed more the bicycle which he had earned doing work on Saturday for his mother and a couple of neighbors in poor health than he did the motor car which his great wealth brought him later on. So let the children have house hold tasks. If you approach them in the right spirit you will find an eager response. Weep If You Must But Not in Public . Among Anglo-Saxons the .display of tears and the indulgence in kisses in public are more and more con sidered to be "bad form." The emo tional Italian, the fervid Spanish American, when he meets his broth er in a railroad station after a year's separation, goes up to him with out stretched arms and kisses him ef fusively. None the less would they shed tears of sorrow at parting. To a certain extent French people similarly show their emotions. But in England and among Americans pretty generally, such effusiveness is regarded as undignified. Our wom en even are getting so they eschew the kiss in public and they summon every bit of self control theyS can to hide their tears from public gaze. With us it seem to cheapen real feel ing to make a public show of it. So it is that in a recent, book on etiquette for young women, pub . lished by an English woman, wc find the statement that "tears are now in bad form." Apparently if one must weep at all it should be done in private. The thoroughbred young woman no more than her brother weeps in public or before servants or mere acquaintances. Kissing as a form of ceremonious salutation likewise has gone rather out of fashion in England, and when the Englishman finds himself in a continental country where it is the conventional way of saluting women to kiss their hands he is often im mensely embarrassed. It has been said that Americans somehow adapt themselves to this custom easier than do the English. .,, Dancing Awakens the Imagination What's What By HELEN DECIE No matter how poor her little pal ace may be, the mother is queen of the home, and. as such, should be treated with the respect due a sov ereign lady. Occasionally a very young and very ignorant girl shows that, if she is not actually ashamed of her unfashionably dressed mother. at least she is not so proud of her, nor so considerate of her feelings as she ought to be. Yet, aside from the filial and moral obligation in volved, it is very bad form to (light or ignore the mother. For example, when a girl receives callers without introducing them to her mother she is guilty of flagrant discourtesy, and her new acquaint ances, if they know anything about social usages, disapprove both her vulgar ignorance and her hard tro dutifulness. It sometimes happens. of course, that the mother may be ill or absent, m which case a weir bred young woman apologizes for ! - t II X M er av' ,. it v.r l.i 1A - V f I l'. ;!L ,vr Q fimmismmmmmmma IIIIII1 0111-1 1 .IMII1IM SIIIIMIMSSS Ml III I I I Prince Charming (Joes Callincr.

Dust the interior of the egg plant with a little salt, put in the rilling and brush the top with melted pork fat. Bake in a quick oven for JU minutes. I OHcUfdfef Covey There are two reasons for giving children dancing instruction, viz: , To make commercial pertormers of them. To awaken imagination, develop rhythm, balance, expression, concen tration and grace. Miss Mary Cooper teaches with the second reason in mind. She believes that dancing is constructive in its in fluence, that activity is the keynote to normal childhood. .Baked Plum RolL Make a plain pie crust, chill on the ice and roll rather thin. Spread with a little softened butter and arrange halved, pitted plums over the crust. Dust with sugar and add a season ing of grated nutmeg and ground cinnamon with the grated rind from a small orange. Roll up like jelly roll, brush with beaten egg yolk, mixed with a little cold water, and bake in a quick oven until crisp and brown. " Jane Powell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Doane Powell; Jane Abbott, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Abbott, and Margaret Corey, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Merton L. Corey, pupils of Miss Cooper, are demonstrating some of her ideals. They are using imagination. . Jane Powell is a butterfly, Jane Abbott is a little swimmer and Margaret is listening, perhaps to the song of a bird. Dancing as a study includes his tory, music, sculpture, painting, literature and dramatic art, according to Miss Cooper, who would use with it only good music. , ; True education is never forced, it developes naturally, she says, like the opening pf a flower Small children, in the opinion of this in structor, should be taught nature games such as flying, playing at birds, butterflies, waving trees, skip ping fairies, with simple ballet exer cises given as games. Older chil dren dance stories and nature plays Gatchell Photos. and originate dances and costumes, using more advanced ballet exer cises. - Her definition of ball room" danc ing is "to develop grace, dignity and refinement." Dancing for business women is looked upon by Miss Cooper as rec reational and directed exercise. ; Prepare for Big Business Put Tour phrtlcsl houtc In ordrr. J In reterv itack of pIjmIcaI energy. .

Without strong nerves you lose I ' iteeU When you lack nerve force. your magnetism, force and couraee, You feel your own weakness and others know that you are weak. Trifling things annoy you this is a sure sign of nerve exhaustion. Some people are born with a very small amount of nervo-vital fluid, because their nerve force has been squandered by the lives led by their ancestors. Others use up their nerve force faster than the body can make it. When your nerve force becomes weak ened, all the vital organs of your body lose their normal strength and vigor and as a result, all kinds of slsrmina; symptoms may appear. From the pains across the back, on person thinks he has kidney trouble; another may think his spine is injured because of the tender spots which may occur thereon. The dull heavy pain in the lower part of head leads another to think he is coins; to have paresis and from the disagreeable fullness or pressure la the front of his heed, another feels he la coins to die from high blood pressure. Sleeplessness and nervous irritability, heart palpitation and indigestion are very com mon symptoms. Naturally your strength, vigor, endurance and brain power are all greatly weakened, and in such a condition you are In no position to compete with the strong, keen red-blooded man with nerves there is only one thing that is going to neip. you and that is more nerve force. In such rases mere stimulating medicines and narcotic drugs are often worse than useless; what you must have is some thing to furnish an increased supply of the nervo-vital fluid to your nerve cells. This is most effectively accomplished - by the free use of Nuxated Iron. This valuable product contains the principal chemical constituent of active living nerve force m a form which most nearly resembles that in --the brain and nerve cells of man. It also contains organic iron like the iron in your blood and like the iron in spinach, lentils and apples. This form of iron will not blacken nor injure the teeth nor up set the stomach. It la an entirely dif ferent thing from metallic iron which peo ple usually take. Nutated Iron may there fore be termed both a blood and a nerve food as it feeds strength-giving iron to your blood and the principal chemical In gredient of active living nerve force to your brain and nerve eells. Over four million people are using Nux ated Iron annually. From the remarkably beneficial results which it has produced, the manufacturers feel so certain of its efficacy that they guarantee satisfactory results to every purchaser or they wlU refund your money. Beware of substitutes. Look for the word "Nurated" on every package. Kuxated Iron for the blood and nerves is sold by all druggists.
