the child in the houcj.
Tht raca suicide question ia one thut
has been given wide discussion .'Into
President Roosevelt tirat began speaking
about It. The fuilugpring little talk
which appeared recently in the Chicago
Tribune by "An American Woman," un-
der the above title, seems to ua a very
sane discussion of the problem:*
There ha* been much 3ald about the
wives of American men having few chil-
dren. Priests lecture about it, men of
cur work well, and we can inake our
work and our life what we will. There
is no more glorioise work for women
than that of housekeeping, and the
woman who makes a home, prepares
the meals, washes the dishes three j,
limes a day, and makes the clothing
for the little children fs the woman
who is entitled to nil honor "and glory.
The woman who hop own house
brains talk about it, but.hus anyone read dderod the fln<'Bt kind nf a profession.
rrltlcism from an Intelligent American
mother? Surely she Is the one person to
rfive an opinion In this matter. How
can a man be qualified? Dora be bring
forth the child? Does he bear the bur-
den and the suffering? *L)oes he take
care of tin child day after day ana
year after year. Does ho see ' ner,
in tbiso days ">f high prices « «>x-
pefise, the child gets Its proper shar<\ or
the mother either? Remember, no child
«rka to be bom, and every mother and
father'in God's universe Is responsll e
for its dfe, its health, and a proper
chance in this world. Most intelligent
mothers know that It is impossible to
t ike care of a large family. I myself
am r mer.'ber of a family of ten chil-
dren, and I know that the ears of a\ :
keeper and mistress can so dignif>
labor that housekeeping will be con-
Half the haitle In any field is to love
the work ve have to do and to havog
enthusiasm for It. Do what you have
to do today, and do it w«ll. Do not
envy other nc-ople, but be satisfied with
what you have.
Every mother should see to It that
her daughter is inspired with the art
of good housekeeping and feels that
when necessity arises she can do her
own work without feeling that she is
doing anything which lowers her dig-
nity.
VISITING.
(Esther Powell.)
Did you ever stop to think what a
Islt really means? That is visiting the
these Children hastened by wether's i ne.gnbors? To be sure we like to visit
death. had to scrape along as best j our relatives, hut If they do not live
f could, get what education we could, j "ear us, It's ten to oni we stay at
home and do not visit Miem as the
usehold work is so presning and next
and try to cope w ith our neighbors, who
had more chnnce than any of us. As a
result we wi re handicapped because tsy
father had live more children than he
co.ild support. Everv woman knows that
there n limit to endurance. Her body
Is her own just as much as her soul,
and no mnn. be he t er o qualified, is
In a position to dl^cufs her affairs.
Why not keep out the low foreign
class and give the American children
chance? I have been in foreign countries
and have seen the class that fl
these shores, and the fact Is that the
American bov*ls In the minority not be-
csuse rf womnnlx^id but because the
mother sees the terrible proprydtlon she
Is facing and she will not produce chil-
dren under such conditions. If there
were not so many foreigners here who
have overstocked families, who can live
on a fn 'l amount and so create cheap
labor, most American mothers would
have boys. A boy Is near -r to his moth-
er's heart than his father's. Why not
relieve the nltuation by restricting the
' foreign situation iind let the mother work
out her^own salvation? We are not liv-
ing In the days of Lincoln. Shakespeare,
or Washington and foods are on an en-
tirely different platform in these days,
ar I we all know that many "a just man's
children do go hungry." Childbirth Is
not a poetical fancy but a stem renllty
to the averape American mother, and
the unself^h, self-sacrificing love with-
in her mak"B her feel she will not add
another burden to that which she Is car-
rying through life.
A few women umy be frivolous
not especially Interested In children,
but the number is small In comparlsc:
and not worth discussing. No doubt
Individually, ever these few have
good reason. Some are married to Im-
moral men and the: will not produce a
c d \ nder such conditions.
Women are weeping the world over
for the lo s of a dear child. Only
short tltnf ago I was called to a sick
child who in a few hours passed away.
The little fechlo voice with almost the
Isst breath said: "Hoys love their moth-
ers jvhen tney are sick."
Children are not purchased with gold
dollars. If this wero the case more wo-
men than men could buy. A helpless
little bab> given to a woman means much
11 suffering on her pnrt,"hours of excru-
ciating pain suah as no man knows, and
the thought that through It all her little
helpless chhJren may be left motherless.
The writer has made this subject her
life work, and she knows how the poor
little children already here are many of
them suffering and neglected. The child
problem Is by far the most serious one
Colleges are built and endowed, yet It
Is becoming absolutely Impossible ' r a
man of mo lerate means to educate his
son b< yond our public schools. Libraries
are springing up everywhere, yet when
a boy is, hungry can he be fed books?
Occaslonrlly a rich man dies ar ' . ncl-
dentally leaves a little money to a chil-
dren's'home. There Is not a public
home for forsaken children In Chicago,
with half «jrough money to rus It. Un-
der these conditions women are eersoreo
for not having ten children It^s about
as sensible an argument as presenting
a man with a box o' cigars because hi
wife has a new son. a great many men
think women have no place in politic
and perchance this ia true, but Is It not
also tmt^ that on the subject mentioned
above it may be a ear for women only,
and the men had better find their eross-
Ing and get off?
year it will be the same old game played
over aguln, and the next year, and the
next, and ao it goes.
liut let us take an afternoon off now
and then, and visit our neighbors. Or,
if our work is too pressing, let us take
our sewing with us. Then our hostess
will not have to apologize for continu-
ing her work while we ure there. We
can sew and chat at the same time and
oh, . how we can enjoy it! We walk
across the fields or down the lane home.
We enjoy Nature's scenery and pure air.
We come borne with a light heart. Our
work for the next day seems easier and
It is pleasant to think of our little visit.
Whllo we are at our friend's we talk
about anything we like, except our
neighbor's faults.
Do not, .howLver, do all the vlstlng
yourself—Insist that your neighbor do a
full share i f it. Do not put it off and
say you will make the visit when you
have a leisure afternoon. Housekeepers
never have a leisure hour. Take time,
do not wait to find It; you will not be
likely to find It if you do not take it.
And I *hink you will not regret it.
THE EDUCATED MIND
THE HAPPY MIND
Ia there any compensation In money
for a starved, stunted, dwarfed mind?
Can lands and houses, stocks and
bonds, pay a man for living a narrow,
rutty, sordid life?
How much money would match the
wealth of a trained mind, of unfolded
possibilities?
is the capacity for the appreciation
of the meaning of life, of me lessons of
civilisation, worth no more than one's
bread and butter und roof?
Can anyone conceive, of greater pos-
sessions than an intellect well trained
and disciplined; than a broad, deep, full-
crbed mind responsive to all beauty an
good?

However, If there are no tiles In your

household sayings that hitherto we have

ealth departments of various cities
e labeled them "dirty epigrams," and
in their place have Introduced "health-
grams."
Those epigrams that are distasteful are
like these:
One must eat a peck of dirt before
one dies."
"The street child Is "Wealthy."
"People were healthier In the good old
days."
"A goat keeps a stable healthful."
"Qas works are good for consumption.'
In lieu of these gems of Ignorance, we
are provided with ' healthgrama," a few
samplt s of which, besides that one about
the filthy fly, are given:
"Open windows close the door to con-
sumption."
"Your lungs can't be wasned out, but
they can be aired."
"A flood of sunshine in the home may
fade the carpet, but it puts the bloom of
Uealth on cheeks. Take your choice."

doing great harm, especially in the feed-

GIVE THE BOY HIS CHANCE.
(By E. Russell.)
There Is one p'H 'icular point in which
the average lu. mcr is contemptibly
mean with his boy. He sets himself up
as a standard. if lie didn't want so
and so why should his boy?
If he had to turn out of bed
o'clock A. M. and work until dark why
should his boy be spared? He did not
have a decent suit cr flne boots or any
spending money, why should hi
spring go into such extravagance
The farmer who reasons that way has
a selfish motive under It. He knows as
well as other people that the boys of
today cannot be and are not treated
like the boys of fifty years ago.
He will admit that his father wore
hickory ::hirt without a collar to meet-
ing, while he must have u white one well
utanlaed and adorned with collar and
necktie, but he won't admit his son
has any right to improve on him.
If a boy feels enthusiastic to learn to
be a printer, harnessmaker, or wood en
graver no father with any sense will
command the boy to learn the trade of
a stonqji
Why then should a farmer decide that
his son who has exhibited a tast
mechanics, spoil his wholo life by or-
dering him to stick to the farm?
If a boy wl 4> wanted to learn the c
penter's trade is made to learn to be a
harnessmaker and thereby become a
botch workman, why should not a farm-
er's son who ought to be an architect,
make a poor farmer?
He certainly will, figure it as you may.
Let the farmer seek to discover what
his son's taste runs to. If to agriculture,
he should be given a fair show. He
should have the bost of agricultural pa-
pers and every chance to improve the
system his father has worked under.
Some of the land and the live stock
should be his and ho should be to a cer-
tain extent a partner. No man will dig
and delve for you without pay as an in-
centive.
A boy who is expected to put in his
best efforts on the farm because the law
says his father Is entitled to his services
will certainly disappoint you.
If Ids taste runs to a trade or pro-
fession the father must argue the mat-
ter as a reasonable man would. He
has no right to encumber the earth
with another botch farmer. He has no
right to condemn his son to poverty
when he might be rich by his own exer-
tion if he is wise he will even en-
courage the boy to follow out the bent
of his Inclinations.
Nine times out of ten where you hear
of a farmer boy being set down -a
hard
of nineteen bushels per acre over the
old yield.
The father and mother ^thought this
pretty good, but the girl kept on. She
began to fertilize her soil and to rotate
crops, until she raised a corn crop of
sixty-nine buuhels to tho acre. The value
of that particular piece of land went up
thirty-five to forty per cent, and the
girl practically demonstrated that a wo-
man could manage the land and get the
highest results.
"Any young woman who has ability
enough to gain control of twenty acres
of fair farm land, taken from her fath-
er er bought from others can, J>otween
her books and her common sense, wrest
out of it, such a comfortable living as
city worker can ever enjoy. The
opportunity is one of your own.
"As one of long and hard experience,
permit mo to say frankly to you—the
city Is not calling you. It does not want
you. It does not need you. The city is
ot suffering for lack of people or brains.
Is great hunger Is for food.
Step to the back door of your home.
Stand on the step and look out over
the flei 3 that have not had one-half
the attention they deserve. They are cal-
ling to you. They will reward you. And
for what you do In this wise, those of
the cities and the places where the marts
of men make confusion and pain, will
rise up and call you blessed."
When house-work Is studied scien-
tifically, and It becomes a profession then
girls will stay on the farm because they
III love the work of home-making. As
Miss Juniper says: "If Instead of look-
ing upon home-making as work which
amateur can do, we realize our high
calling and raise It to tho Important
professional sphere to which. It belongs,
we mlcht hope for an increase of
homes which are renters of nealth, cul-
ture and refinement. Traln'ng in house-
hold science makes girls more useful at
home."—Canadian Thresherman and
Farmer.
irritation will nut cause serious trcu-
ble. Utt thore Is always the doubt to
make ono uncomfortable. When there
is reason lo suspect madness the
wound should be sucked arid then cau-
terized with a rod hot Iron or stick
caustic; the lattor is much the easier
and Is said to be Just as efficient. Af-
ter cauterizing, the wound Should be
dressed as any other burn. Baking s<*ia
made in solution 1s very good to dress
the wound. This lattor is also very
soothing for stings, though the remedy
always at hand is oQually good—saliva

bites are especially to bo dreaded, as
the action of the virus from a venomous
snake L so very rapid that help unless

Sucking the puncture is recommended by
medical works, although It Is attended
by some danger; If the saliva be instant-
ly rejected the result may be all that

Elizabeth In Farmer's Review
WITH THE DOCTOR MiLES mVVAY.
Upon a farm accidents are likely to
occur and serious results follow In many
cases before the doctor arrives; not so
much from the immediate injuries as
from Ignorance of what to do at the
time. Many cases may be relieved tem-
porarily, by a slight knowledge of ex-
pedients. A small roll or two of bandages
made from an old sheet would be found
of the greatest convenience In case of
a bad cut, which Is likely to happen to

esters now so much In use. The band-
ages, which should be about two Inches

COOK I NCI WITHOUT A FIRE.
(Mrs. Scottie Tidwell.)
There Is no other one thin* used In
the kltcnen that will save the housewife
so much work, worry and fuel as tho
llreless cooker or "hay stove." Those
) have never tried It nor seen It
tried may be skeptical, but one trial will
convince them of its worth.
Anything requiring long cooking can
be cooked to perfection in this way.
Tough nifiat or fowl cooks perfectly
tender in a flreless cooker and has a
much finer flavor. All kinds of dried
fruits, vegetables both dry and fresh and
cercals cook perfectly In a flreless and
reed no watching from the time they
are put In until they are s rved, "done
to a turn and piping hot."
A flreless cooker can be easily and
cheaply made at home. Empty molasses
palls and lard palls make fine "flreless-
cooking vessels on account of their tight
fitting lids. Plenty of seasoning should
be given to food cooked with the flre-
less and Just as much water as one
wishes It to have when done, as there
is no evaporation. Rice is an excep-
tion to this rule Put the food on the
cook stove and let boll 15 or 20 min-
utes, then place in a box or other ves-
sel with a thick layer of hay underneath
and pack tightly all around and on top
with hay. Set out of the way and cover
with a quilt or blanket.
Food In the flreless requires from two
to three times as long to cook a:i on the
stove, but time doesn't amount to much
when compared with the work and worry
of keeping up a flre and seeing that the
food does not burn. And think of the
cool kitchen on the long, hot days! Food
for dinner and supper may be put on at
breakfast time, and if light bread is
kept in tho house there need be no flre
built again that day. Rice or other
cereals put in the flreless at supper time
will be Just Rlmply perfect for break-
last. I know from experience that any
food cooked this way Is even more de-
licious than that cooked In the old way

disease whlh she contracted while trav-

On h«r arrival in Omaha, Infection de-

Inquiry by the attending physician de

She was taken home and lingered sev-
