' OTHERS often complain that
the children need so -much at
tention. "I never get time' to
breathe," says one. "I never
have a minute'a rest," says another.
I wonder if they, enrer-heard- of the
mother who taught her children to go to
church, by exercising tact and skill! It
Is a etory with a moral She noticed
that her neighbors children alwaya ob
y Jected to church and Sunday school, al
ways fought against It. So when her
children grew old enough to have ob
servance of "Sunday she gathered them
round her and said: "I am going to let "
you, as a special privilege, go to
church; so long as you are good you
may go every Sunday. Should you mis
behave you must stay at home."
Of course,' the children were crasy to
go. ' They always are anxious to do
things that are attractively presented,
and while they were young they all ac-
quired the habit of going regularly and
Joyfully to church a habit none of them
lost In after life.
Just the same principle may be applied
to children who do not do for them
selves. Teach the children, as soon as.
they are old enough, to button their
own shoes and to fasten their own
clothes. Make It something of which to
be proud; make It a privilege. By thus
presenting many tisks they become a
pleasure instead of work. Do not tell
the child she must dress, she must
brush her hair; tell her she Is now old
enough to atart to do things for her-,
"elf. Tell her how caring for her own
needs is one of the privileges of grown
ups; bow glad she should be that she
has arrived at such an interesting time
of life.
Few children, unless there be some ill
ness, some lack of strength, are natural
ly lasy. There is a time while they are
growing-that they long to be out In the
open air. They love to run and play, of
course, yet they do not care to climb a
flight of stairs on an errand for mother.
That is not always lailness, nor does It
indicate a bad disposition. It Is the nat
ural, savage Instinct of the child to be
out where the xn supplies health and
strength to foster rapid growth, and de
velopment. It is really true that children cannot
be successfully driven unless they are
absolutely Intimidated, and, surely, no
really loving mother wants to put Tier
self In the position of slave driver to
ward her ctyld. : It spoils the training,"
spoils the disposition and ruins the ideal
relation that should exist between a
woman and her family.
But children are very easily led. A lit
tle love, a suggestion, a 'patient lesson
and the result usually far exceeds the
most sanguine hopes. Children are quick
to learn both good and bad. Why not
teach them only good?
only regret it In the end. It Is very
seldom I receive a question like yours.
I get hundreds of Inquiries for treat
ments and prescriptions to develop the
bust. A small bust Is by no means con
sidered a mark of beauty. -If you will
write to me and date the size of your
bust and your hips, also your weight.
I can Judge a great deal better about
what you really need. I really cannot
give ycu any medicine.
still others who never use' water, but
always use a cleansing cream. This
is carrying the idaa a little bit too
far, for. a little -clean" water never
hurls anybody's face. After a Jour
ney, or after a particularly hot day,
the , face should be cleaned with
cream. This is done by rubbing the
cream on the skin, and then removing
It immediately with a soft piece of
linen. The face may then be washed
In hot and then In cold water. This
process should be gone through every
night without fall, and It may be re
peated during the day. Cleaning the
face cannot be harmful. Some 'Women
vary this arrangement by washing;
first In hot water, then applying the
cream, then washing the face in cold
water. This Is also a very good plan.
In any case, let soap be avoided lo
face washing. "
Never use a wash rag on the face.
Absorbent cotton is the very best
thlngfor a cleanser, for it may after
each washing be thrown away.
The following Is a very good cleans
ing cream: White wax. two ounces;
spermaceti, two ounces; sweet a!
mond oil, twelve ounces; distilled
water, two ounces; glycerine, twa
ounces; salicylic acid, ninety grains. ,

To Reduce the Bust
Wll! you please tell me If there are any
exercise, that may be taken to reduce
the bust? If so.' please name them, and
Also state the length of time It tnkes to
'show results. JARKIET K
There are no exercises, to my knowl
edge, that will reduce the bust. Time
will do this of Its own accord, and you
need not try to help It. for you will
A Cleansing Cream is Necessary
I live In a laryo city, where there Is a
(rreat deal of smoke, and It seems to me I
can ne'er Ret my face clean. Can you tell
me at length what to do to Klve my com
plexion a clean, fresh look? NAN.
Many people think that soap and
water are the best things to use to
clean the face, but there they err, for
soap Is not a good thing to use on
the face; in fact, it is extremely In
jurious to the skin if it Is employed
oftener. than once a week at the most
It dries the skin, removing all the
natural oil, thus making it extremely
sensitive to wind and weather, besides
laying, a foundation for wrinkles in
later years.
There are people who, acting on this
knowledge, feel that soap and water
should nev-er be used, and there are

indifference or abstraction. The per
son who speaks is then obliged to
raise the voice, and thus the habit of
loud speaking Js often formed.? ?
This is a condition likely to arise)
In families where but little politeness
Is observed. It seema strange that'
people who love each other often fall
in tle most ordinary civilised consld
. eration. i -
To really care for the vole on
should never cry out either In pain '
' or In anger. Such efforts forever de
atroy the harmonious working ot the)
vocal cords. Children should be re
strained from wild shrieks when at
play. .
Should a young child show signs of
speaking in a hoarse or disagreeable ...
tone, it should at once be taken to a
phyElclan, for perhaps It Is not the .
fault of the baby. It may be some
physical defect which skill may over
come. - .
SWEET voice Is
chief charms of
wnman.
We should therefore be careful of
the gift that nature has given to us
and, if possible, improve it. Even
coarse, shrill and harsh voices may
be softened by care and study, and
surely it is worth the trouble. A
woman with - a peacock voice can
never charm.
Speak always In a low tone, but dis
tinctly. Loud talking denotes 111
breeding, and sometimes shows a
domineering spirit. To keep the voice
at a proper tone never call from one
end of the room to the other, nor
frpm upstairs down, nor from any
distance that necessitates bellowing.
Such practices only roughen the voice
and In time ruin It.
There are persons who when spoken
to do not at otrc9 respond, either from

Very dry hair Is usually not very
healthful hair. It should be carefully
treated. The following Is a very good
lotion which will help you, I think.
Apply this to the scaip every other

the lotion, the scalp should be thor-

I am afraid that there Is nothing I
can do to help you, although I much
regret my inability. An oculist Is the

that will injure the eyes. I

For plain cold cream there Is no bet

shaving cream, one dram; blanched
almonds, one and three-quarter drama.

It would be a great mistake to cut
the hair on your arms, for it would,
as you say, surely grow longer.
The following Is a good depilatory,
which you should use strictly accord
ing to directions: Sulphide of soda
or calcium sulphide. 100 grains: chalk.
100 grains. Mix thoroughly, and keep
dry In well-corked bottle until want
ed for use. Take enough to make a
paste, and add warm water until the
proper consistency is secured. Spread
over the hairy surface, and allow to
remain for from one to five 'minutes,
according to the nature of the growth
and the susceptibility of the skin;
then scrape off with a b'unt blade a
paper knife, for example. It should
be removed If a burning sensation Is
produced. Toj long contact with the
skin should be avoided, and Immedi
ately after the hair has been removed
the denuded surface should bo gently
washed with warm water and a coUl
cream should be applied to prevent
irritation. '
