Show THE CITIZEN 6 CHILD BEHAVIOR Look for the causes, rather than the results, when children do wrong, if you want to help them build character. You may find that the child got in wrong company, that he was d weak willed, that he was and too hungry, that he was ill and nervous and fretful and not himself, that he is not getting enough sleep, that he had adenoids or bad tonsils and from his weakness is getting the failure habit and an inferiority complex which leads him to do unusual things to console himself. If a child cannot attract favorable attention from those whose approval he craves, he is likely to do something wrong to give vent to his desire for attention of some kind, figuring under-nourishe- that evil notoriety is better than to be ignored. The delinquency of many a poor lad or lass is his last stand or desperate effort to show bravado and overcome some handicap. It may be a moral explosion caused by long repression and gloom over failure. If the parent studies carefully the causes which lie back of the behavior of him child, he can usually find motives and urges or combinations of inciting circumstances which explain it. It is almost certain to be the fault of the parent, rather than the child, if the child is developing wrong character tendencies. By removing these causes, the child will have a chance to be his best self. There is something inherently noble in the soul of every normal child and he will surprise you by growing good if you give him the proper invironment-an- treatment. SILKS Silk is a very popular material today and the great demand for it has given manufacturers much experience in making it and taught them many tricks of the trade. One of these is to tnake cultivated silk, a good stunt. Cultivated silk is stronger than natural silk, bleaches well and takes dye remarkably. Its smooth fibre makes it easy to keep clean as it will not hold the dust nor absorb impuri- . ties. Adulteration is another discovery of the silk makers and it is a pity that it It is so skillfully done that the experts can hardly detect it by the feel, but there is a way. Ravel a piece of silk both ways is so widely practiced. and touch a match to the fringe. If the silk is pure it will burn like wool, being an animal product. If it is part cotton, the cotton will burn with a flash. The mott lamentable trick of the silk trade is to weight silk, that is to add salts of tin and iron and other materials. If these are present in the silk, the yarn will not burn but will look like little red-hwires. Heavily weighted silk cracks more easily and tends to fall apart, even when not In use. The thrifty woman, who wishes her silken garments to give good service, will test the silk which she buys by the yard. When we purchase ready-mad- e garments, we are the mercy of the trade, for there is no way of determining what purity of silk we are buying. The best way to insure good quality in ready-made- s, is to buy garments with of a firm known for the trade-mar- k The its integrity and price or style of a garment is no assurance of the quality of its silk or the amount it may be weighted, for even the most expensive gowns are sometimes made of heavily freighted silks. ing a washing machine, a vacuum cleaner, or any other household utensil the minute something goes wrong with it. The whole trouble may be only that a bolt or a nut has lost out, or a part may be broken or defective. A little investigation, a few pennies, may repair the machine. Look it over and learn the name of the manufacturer, and the name and number of the machine and write for a new part. This is one way to reduce your budget for the coming year. ot fair-dealin- g. ECONOMY HINT When using the oven, use it to capacity. It is extravagance to bake only one thing at a time. Baked dishes may overlap. It is possible to stir up in one hour many dishes for baking and the thrifty housewife, planning ahead and using her oven economically may not save only fuel, but conserve her time and also provide better meals for the family. For example, if you wish a pie for dinner bake the potatoes at the same time. Put in the oven, to fill it up, a pan of biscuits which you may use for supper with honey or for a shortcake, rewarmed of course. Make an extra pie shell for which you will make a lemon cream filling another day. Have a cake ready to slip into the oven when the pie or biscuit comes out. It will almost cook with the residue of heat after the main meal. At the last, slip into the oven the grain flakes or crackers you wish to crisp, or wafers on which you wish to melt the cheese. One of the most wasteful practices of the modern housewife, is the use of hen oven for one dish only. This comes about chiefly because she did not use her head to save her heat. PROTECT YOUR HANDS The habit of wearing canvas work gloves would do much to keep ones hands soft and smooth. The gloves would not only keep the dirt from penetrating into the pores of the skin and save the hands from being bruised and caloused from rough work, but they would relieve one of the necessity of washing the hands so frequently and making the skin rough. One should possess several pairs of gloves one for upstairs and one for down, to be used in sweeping and dusting and much other work, a pair for dirtier work such as gardening or mowing the lawn, and plenty to do duty while the first set were being laundered.

Use only warm water; rinse in water of the same temperature; and dry quickly in a good breeze. To hang them to dry over a hot stove or radiator will make them stiff. Wool is an animal product and should not have the life and oil burned out of it by hot water, hot sun or hot iron. That would make the fibres or hairs of which it is composed, wiry and brittle and stiff. Ammonia helps to soften and clean woolen things, but should not be used for white wool as it might turn it yellow. It should not be used too strong as it is a bleach.
