START A SAVINGS ACCOUNT Many women arc kept- from mak-! mak-! Jng an effort to save by the fact that ! their husbands with lavish hands fling away more money than they are , able to save by their small economies, but this should be tho very reason why they should try all the harder. If the husband and father is careless It will take double diligence on the part of the wife and mother, not only to save money, but to train the chll-i chll-i dren in habits of thrift It Is hard to walk three or four extra blocks to 1 save five cents on vegetables, and then sec the man of the house buy an expensive cigar or refuse to wear" 5 a garment that is patched, but if the ; five cents are safe in the bank it is better than flinging that amount : away to show that if one won't save neither will the other. ; It usually happens that when the t mistress of the house has saved 5100 , she can no longer keep the secret, so ' she unfolds her wonderful plan to ' he man of the house. Then the sav- lngs account goes forward by leaps ; and bounds, for the husband gladly ; does his part in making coutrlbu- tlons to the fund. He finds himself able to put by the price of a cigar or two without much trouble, to assist in the home tasks ; that mean so much when a man must be hired for every trifling bit of repair re-pair work, to practice various small economies In the way of clothing, and , above all to cheer and support his i wife who has the greatest burdens on her shoulders. Most people will, admit that it is easier to make money than to save t It, and the woman who carefully or-j or-j ders her household so that the. health Of the family Is conserved, their gar-' gar-' ments suited to their needs, and their ; food wholesome and nourishing with-i with-i out being expensive, deserves more ! credit than she gets in the ordinary , home. Of course it is a great joy to if her to know that her account is grow-H grow-H ing even' day, but if in addition she I ', has the support and sympathy of a 1 manly man, she is all the better fitted K for her duties. :, FJ!; SHALL WE HARDEN T OUR CHILDREN? Jtf' It we attempt to harden our chil-m chil-m I dren during the periods of rapid growth, the consequences may be dls-astrous, dls-astrous, says an authority. These ! periods of rapid growth are between jj the fourth and the fifth, the ninth 1J : and the tenth, and the thirteenth and Iff' the fifteenth years. The "writer quotes y. , Dr. Alois Strasser, who says that hardening is necessary, but that in a addition to the age of the child, his 2' constitution should be considered, f and tho surface covering of his body lJ related to his weight y During the first few years of a ! child's life it Is necessary only to h adapt his body to indoor temperas' tempera-s' tures and, suitably clad, to vai'ylng 5! . outdoor temperatures. The child .u , should not be given even mildly cold, "JJ ' baths before he is 3 or 4 years of 2 'i age, then only a mere sponging of ;S lithe body, and this in the morning. Cold showers and douches at this ' age are detrimental. Wi' Up to the time he is 14 a short II stimulating bath In the morning is i ' all that Ib necessary. Regularity in this matter Is important Safety and a comfort are the criteria, depending g upon the susceptibility of the child. 8j LIVING ROOM HINTS 'Is In the living room, where the fam-?& fam-?& j Ily is wont to gather after the day's fS work, let there be a number of small Sj tables, with a good light for each, so a that everyone may have a chance to S read or work in comfort , or He S stretched at ease on tho couch, pa-15 pa-15 per or magazine in hand. Let that living room be the Bub-S Bub-S 3ect of much thought, that it may 2 have a very definite influence on the ' life of each member of your house-35 house-35 hoW. Plan, for a big room, if possl- 5 ble, at least a couple of couches and y. numberless easy chairs. Many a S man who now spends his time at tho 6 club, or tho saloon, would far rather 5s stay in his own home could ho but & have the chance to sit and read by a well-lighted table, where he could smoke In peace, with no fear of dropping drop-ping ashes or leaving the odor of an unwelcome cigar behind. An open fireplace, or an open stove, gives an added touch of cheer. If the bright-faced laddie of the household shows some special bent, either for art, athletics, oi any one of the Tarious callings see that a now magazine or book on that particular subject is on the table now and then; and if the girl loves tewcave tales in the firelight's glow, be wise and kind. It may be waste of time; let the years show, but be Bure a pad or two of paper and a supply of pencils pen-cils are at hand. Remember, each one lives his separate sep-arate life; your hand can only add the little outer touch the trillings that shall help to draw out and intensify in-tensify the seed, God-planted, that lies deep In every soul. That's what the home Is for expansion, not repression; re-pression; beauty that rests; service that glorifies.
