points for Mothers
Comfort For Stay at Homo Mothers. "We are staying home this summer," said the young mother, "as we do not think the baby old enough to be taken out of its usual environment, and we would not go without him." There are no doubt thousands of young mothers and fathers doing the same thing. They realize that there are a certain number of years of their lives that they must give to the children and that they must put aside their own comfort in order to do it Mothers don't break down when they are doing this sort of work as a general thing and should try to live as calmly and comfortably as possible under the cir cumstances. It is always with relief that one hears the young mother say "we" are staying at home, for the father owes it to his child as much as the mother to be near it during the critical months of babyhood. Together they can most certainly do better for the child than either one could alone, and along with the cares of motherhood should go hand in hand the responsibilities of fatherhood. The child who is only mothered loses much in Its life, for the father's influence is often sane where motherhood is only sweet The well brought up child must have the father's help as well as the mother's through every step of his life, and he generally gets it in America, whatever may be said of the better training for parenthood in other countries. The father has a double duty to perform, for while he looks out for his child he must also see that the mother keeps herself in condition. An irritable mother will very likely have the same kind of child. She may not be at all at fault, having been rendered physically incapable of caring properly for her child by worries of one kind or another. So the young husband must see that she is amused if necessary, that she has nourishing food and that she Is not unduly worried by all the business troubles of the family. That precious baby does not realize all the sacrifices that are made for him, and he never will be aware of them until he, too, stands with a child of his own in his arms and the pride of fatherhood in his eyes. Educating the Children. The bishop of London once said: "I am convinced.that the uplifting of the morality of our people lies above all and everything else in educating our children rationally and morally. I believe that more evil has been done by the squeamishness of parents who are afraid to instruct their children in the vital facts of life than by all the other agencies of vice put together." Of this same phase of education Dr. Rosalie Slaughter Morton of New York says: "The classes in social settlements are doing a tremendous work in giving both boys and girls many impersonal, wholesome interests, and in each of these settlements there should be class es for fathers and mothers, where the sex question is taken up frankly." Week End Gifts. . The house party guest who cannot think of a suitable gift for a family of children should look over an assort ment of boxes fitted with all sorts of indoor and outdoor games for boys find girls and selling at the smallest prices. A box, for example, contain ing two little tennis rackets with balls and a jumping rope is 25 cents, and for a larger child a box with two rackets and balls Is 50 cents or $1. A box of battledore and shuttlecock Is 50 cents or in larger size $1. A special outfit for little girls includes a battledore set, & catchaball and a jumping rope, all with white and gold handles. It. is 75 cents. A catchaball with a trumpet end that issues a startling blast Is 15 cents. "Seeing Things at Night." If mothers notice that the brains of their little ones conjure up uncanny sights and thoughts from the shadows of a room more or less dark let the light burn brightly. To force a child to become accustomed to the darkness is a grave error if its nervous system is so organized that this forcing is productive of a fright. The nervous system of a child is a very susceptible organization, and the deleterious impressions made upon it will often make their influence felt throughout its whole after life. If the child asks for a light under such circumstances do not refuse it A Birthday Ring From Germany. A newly imported novelty from Germany is a wooden birthday cake ring brightly painted in a manner to appeal to children and pierced with holes, in which the birthday candles are to be set As the holes are many, It is possible to have as many candles as are necessary, even when the children of a family are grown up. The ring of wood is only about an inch thick, and it is intended that the cake be set inside this rim. Castor Oil. To the mothers who find it hard to give the little ones castor oil make ginger cookies and add a little more sugar than the recipe calls for, and to a common sized batch add two tablespoonfuls of castor oil and keep the secret to yourself. Frost the top and let the ones who are ailing eat of them and see how well this remedy works. "I was cured of diarrhoea by one dose of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy," writes M. E.

FURNACE HELPS.
How to Heat Cold Rooms In Wintry Weather. In these winter days the home with the furnace heat the hot water radiator or the steam radiator may find the heating apparatus, of whatever kind, balking occasionally and leaving the bouse cold. Traditionally every house that is heated by the hot air furnace has "one cold room." This cold room most frequently is that particular upstairs room against which the cold winds are blowing most directly. Likely this room Is the northwest room of upstairs, as the northwest wind Is keenest What should one do to bring up the hot air from the furnace? That simplest thing is for the furnace attendant to discover the cold pipe leading to the room and cut off for a few minutes the heat to every other pipe leading from the furnace. At once this forces the combined heat from the furnace Into the one open delivery pipe whose cutoff remains wide open. This body of heat forces Y. "r . . V . . "a ! blocking that particular pipe as effec tually as if the pipe were full of frozen water. After a few minutes. In nmeu uie PUe warms aim wnrL-iu , permeates the room, the "cold" room j is rendered comfortable thereafter. j Presuming that one has an electric j fan. however, the fan is one of the easiest instruments for correcting the stubborn hot air register, the hot water radiator or the steam radiator in the cold room. To urge the electric fan on the hot air register place the fan with Its back close to the register and turn on at j full speed. This acts as a suction pump, pulling the cold air from the furnace pipe and drawing the heat into the room. In the case of a balky steam radiator especially open a window and turn the fan blast of cold air against the radiator. Whatever slight heat is In the radiator will be contracted by cooling, and the tendency toward a vacuum will serve to draw upon greater warmth down the pipe. As the steam (or water) moves up into the radiator the continuation of the cooling and contraction forces the further impetus of the heat until the desired warmth is attained. One further statement may interest the reader. Hot water and steam heat are the driest of all forms of heat delivered into the modern house. The hot water and hot. moist steam in the radiator are sealed there. One cannot bring an artificial heat of 70 degrees F. by means of the hot radiator without making the winter atmosphere too dry. Evaporating water on these fixtures alone will make the atmosphere of the house moist enough to be satisfactory to the lungs. And In moistening the atmosphere it becomes a more constant and effective deliverer of the heat from fuel. Dry air is the least capable of retaining beat even if the air's dryness otherwise were satisfactory to the lungs and breathing apparatus generally. How to Treat Burning Feet. Not a small part of. the petty dis comforts of life arises from our feet, which, being incased in tight fitting, un ventilated boots or shoes, respond with painful growths and chilblains or, it may be. by a disagreeably hot or cold condition. Hot. burning feet may be relieved by putting on at bedtime a pair of white cotton socks the soles of which have been wetted with cold water and over which are drawn dry worsted ones. If the burning continues wet the under socks again. Repeat thiM process every night, and in a short time a great improvement will be experienced. Cold feet are a trouble to many at all seasons of the year and are usually caused by a defective or restricted circulation. Loose shoes and exercise will often remedy this, but in the case of a naturally languid circulation an efficacious treatment is to bathe tbe feet each night In hot water, and afterward to plunge them into cold, then rub them briskly with a rough towel or flesh gloves.

SUNDAY CONCERTS INCREASINJ
Everywhere Recognition of the Efficacy of Good Music Toward the Elevation of Public Taste and the Conservation of Morals Obtaining.
BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. A number of inquiries have been made of the writer as to whether or not the recital to be given on the afternoon of September twenty-second in the Murray Theater by Carl Morris will be a sacred concert. No. In common parlance it will be a "straight concert." The program will include the class of musical compositions usually presented by a musician of the reputation iund standing of Mr. Morris. j It will, however, suit a varying itaete. j The Slinday afternoon concert is becoming more and more usual. j It has, of course, long been a custorn in the larger cities and, indeed, in to the open air band concerts given in almost every town including Richmond. j In Indianapolis, in instance, one of j the most successful series of musical j affairs ever inaugurated there has j teen the monthly concerts given by ,the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra (in the Murat theatre on Sunday afterr.oon. The latter is packed from pit to j dome. J And with the best element of the ; city. It is the intention, or was, of the (managers of the Richmond Symphony !TO begin a similar series here. Whether or not that is to be consummated is not known to the writer. But it is to be hoped that it will be. For Sunday afternoon is part of one oi the days of the week when many persons can attend an affair of this sort be.er than any other time. It conflicts with few other engagements. And is, in short, ideal for a recital cr concert. Good musc is always apropos. Any time, any place. And it is a fact, unpalatable though it may be to sundry of the elect, that this city, through its incomparable public school instruction under Mr. Earhart, and its Symphony orchestra, has a more discriminating taste in this art than any other. That is, you may find an audience here which appreciates the weighter musical compositions who have little knowledge of or feeling for a corresponding phase of other arts, as painting, sculpture or poetry. Music, indeed, as may have been said here before, possesses the most catholic appeal of any of the arts. This may be, perhaps, because the individual can conjure up his own vision. Interpret it, or not interpret it, according to his temperament, class or education. J in tne arts or painting ana sculpture the spectator must accept the vision or interpretation or idea of the artist. For the form is fixed. Musical form in this sense, alone, of course, is more fluid and adapts itself to the mood and comprehension of the hearer. Musical sounds in certain combinations affect the human entity profoundly. But in different ways and in varying degree. All music, however even that of a t-treet organ has an unexplainable and haunting melancholy. That melancholy which Amiel says "underlies all things." The writer remembers, when a child to have had a neighbor who played the flute. Not expertly but sympathetically. He would, of a summer evening, play on this instrument plaintive melodies which obsessed her with inexplicable sadness. There Is something a bit weird about all wind instruments. And the flute. In solo, played in this fashion, by an open window which carries the sound out into the soft and fragrant moon-lit night, will translate exquisite sound. The psychology of the effect of muEic is strange and absorbing. Dr. Sadler yesterday in his lecture told an odd story of the experiments If your teeth are fit, chew, chew, chew, until the food is liquid and insists on being swallowed. If teeth are faulty, soften Grape-Nuts with hot milk or cream, or allow to stand a minute soaking in cold cream. "There's a Reason" as follows: Grape-Nuts food is in the form oH hard and brittle granules, intended to be ground up by the teeth; that work not only preserves the teeth but brings down the sarira rrcrn ;.i.e gums so necessary in the primary work of digestion. Many people say (and it is true) that when they eat Grape-Nuts they seem able to digest not only that food but other kinds which formerly made trouble when eaten without GrapeNuts. Chew!!

made on dogs in a continental city by medical scientists, in which the gustatory passions were aroused in a canine assemblage through the playing of certain music, the confirmatory evidence
being in the flow of 6aliva which at once ceased when the music stopped. Dr. Sadler commented upon this interestingly. Also wittily. Specially with reference to the class of music heard in cafes and other houses of dietetic mirth. There is, no doubt, method in the madness of cafe orchestras. It has been established as true, however, that people eat more, longer and oltener to a musical accompaniment than without it. Americans are gradually becoming ir.nured to this custom.

First separate the tall from the main part of the lobster and shake out the tomalley The tomalley. or liver, is green after boiling and is liked by some. Next draw the body from the shell, freeing it from the stomach, which is situated near the head, by pressing the meat near-the bead close against the shell with tbe first and second fingers. Now split the lobster through the center and take out the meat Cut the underside of tbe tall shell open with a sharp knife or scissors and remove the meat in one of two large pieces. On taking out this meat look on the upper part near where the tail joined the body proper and lift up the small piece of flesh. Under will be found a vein running the entire length. Remove this. Often this vein or cord is the same color as the meat itself. Again it may be green, in any case, it should not be eaten. Like the stomach, it is not edible. The easiest way to remove the meat from the claws is to crack the shell with tbe broad side of a hammer. This does not crush the meat Philadelphia Tel-, egrapb.

There is Hair Beauty and Luxuriance in Every Bottle of Herpicide
Did you ever have a dealer offer you J a large bottle of something and tell , you it was a better remedy for the hair than Newbro's Herpicide and cheaper because in a larger bottle? What? Certainly we knew you had. Many other people have. too. What would you say to that same gold piece because it is larger. Such an attempt being a reflection upon your good sense you would probably say some rather pointed things to him. You would be justified. Your self-respect would demand it. Well, there are just as many good reasons for the difference in size between those bottles as there are for the difference in size between the sil ver dollar and the five dollar gold j piece. The truth is that the large bottle isn't half large enough. There is more virtue In a half pint of Newbro's Herpicide than in a gallon of some of the so-called hair preparations. There is a dollar's worth of results in the bottle of Herpicide, but do you know what is in the other? No? Then why buy if? Your judgment, intelligence and the experience j You'll Do Bctler
