One day, to save carrying water to the tent, my mother defined father's hip boots, tucked her skirts up out of the way, and carried our clothes to the bank of the creek to wash them. The spaniel, meanwhile, went • up- stream and started a great commotion among the salmon beyond the place where mother was washing, which was just above a little fall about a foot high, Mother had stepped into the creek with one of father's shirts in her hand, and was holding it on the brink of the falls so that the water rushed through it. She gave no heed to the dog, whose barks became very much more excited and nearer. She was standing with her feet well apart, to keep her balance in the current, when to her dismay a great salmon fleeing from the dog rushed between her feet into the tail of the shirt. +The salmon would probably have slipped out at the neck had not the dog at that moment, following the fish, seized the shirt and fish between his teeth. Although mother might have with- stood the onslaught of the fish, the added momentum of the dog was too much, and, losing her footing on the slippery gravel, down she sat with her back upstream in the bed of the creek. Immediately the water filled her boots so that her legs stuck out like logs, At that, the funny side of the accident struck her so forcibly that instead of immediately scrambling out she sat helpless with lailgiiter, watching dog, fish and shirt go roll- ing over and over down the swift cur• rent of the stream. The dog finally landed the fish, and also the remains of the shirt, which when recovered, was little better than a 'mop rag.

The way the children feel about their teacher depends almost entirely "on the way their parents feel about her ---that is, if the way the parents feel is allowed to ,enter into their talk before the children, and it often- times does, to the detriment both of the teacher and the child.. Por instance, a young teacher friend of mine said to me the other day: "What do you suppose little Doris Handy told me yesterday? Why, she climbed into my lap during recessand put her arms around my neck in that loving little way she has; then she startled me by saying: °Mama says you're just a little girl, and r can't expect to learn anything from you. She says we ought to have a grown-up teacher—but I like you better." My friend smiled at thought of the child's affeentrionate words, 'then con- tinued soberly and thoughtfully: "I suppose I am just a girl, but I'm try- ing to do my best as a teacher. Some- times I get discouraged, though, and now, since Doris' mother made that remark before Doris, I'm almost afraid I'm going to lose control of the whole school. Doris won't take anything I say seniousiy; she has been told I'm just a girl, and given to believe I know no more than she does herself. And she has communi- cated her feeling to a good many of the other scholars. I really don't know how I am going to live down that accusation." Seldom do remarks of a single parent prove so far-reaching in their effect on the teacher and the school, but always they affect the one child's conduct and attitude toward his teacher. The child coming. to school with his father's rather blunt expres- sion: "That teacher of yours don't know nothing" ringing in his ears isn't goring to buckle down to his les- sons properly. Instead, since teacher doesn't know anything, lie thinks, "What's the use of learning what she tells me to learn?" Or the child who, because of some ,rnisdeleanor was compelled to remain after school hours, was comforted at home with the assurance, "If that teacher keeps you in another night I shall take up the matter with the school board," is not going to come to school with the determination to be as good as possible all day long. He is, however, going to endeavor to get kept in so that his mother can cause trouble for the teacher. And in nine cases out of ten he suoceeds. Parent -teacher associations have done mu -ch to bring parents and teach- ers together for a better mutual un- derstanding of home and school con- ditions and aspirations. Yet thereare many small communities which have not as yet such associations, and there are many mothers who could not attend the meetings even if they were held near at hand. But, whether or not there be a weekly or monthly gathering of parents and teachers, the same responsibility rests on the parents regarding the talk about the teacher their children hear at home. Not always, of course, can good things be -'said of the teacher—yet very seldom is it that the children cannot be told that their teacher is trying hard to teach them right, that she is doing her best, that it is a hard task teaching so many active, eager little children,' and that she needs their help every minute if she is to give the school a good name and record. But even though the parents do not consider the teacher as good as a previous one, or do not approve. of her methods of teaching or correct ing unruly scholars, there is no ex - case for airing these beliefs before! the children. Every parent should take sufficient) interest in the children's progress at school to feel approval or disapproval of the teacher's- methods or ability, but discussion of the latter should be carried on when the children are absent. Whenever possible the teacher should be invited to the, keine, where problems presented by the chil- I dren can be discussed when the chil-1 dren are not around, and the parent and the teacher can come to a better understanding. But whatever your real feelings toward the teacher, if it be not good, let no inkling of it reach your chip'A� sHAviNos dren's ears. Instead, pick out all the teacher's good points and held them constantly before the children, ally got so that I eo lld not do - the large heavy washings in the old way, and found such an easy, efficient way that the washing to -day is my easiest work, and the clothes are beautifully white and much sweeter than if sent to the laundry. The day before I wash I put a 1 the white clothes to soak in cold water. If there are fruit stains on table- cloths, etc., I pour boiling water on them first. Either hot cr cold water will remove tea, coffee, and cocoa staine; but I like hot best for cocoa, cold for milk and egg stains, and sweet milk for ink stains. At night I wring the clothes out, and cover until morning. While get- ting supper I melt a bar of soap with a little water added in a granite ket- tle, adding a teaspoonful of lye and about two tablespoonfuls of coal oil. I let this boil \up and set away until morning. The next in'orning, as soon as the fire is lit, I put the soap solution in the boiler and fill half full of cold water. I put the white clothes in the cold water, and cover. After the water comes to the boiling point I let it boil about fifteen minutes. While the clothes are boiling I get the breakfast and dishes out of the way. When the •clothes •are boiled (I punch them good while boiling) I put them in a tub of cold water; punch and rinse them well; wring, blue, and starch. Now they are ready to hang out,, and even the roller towels and men's underwear ate beautifully. clean. As soon as I take the white clothes out of the boiler I put enough cold water into cool it—just enough so you can put your hand into it—then put the colored clothes to soak while wringing out the white ones. I soap all very soiled spots, such :as on men's work shirts, etc. When I ape ready for them, I simply punch them well, and very seldom have to use a wash- board for anything. I have a big washing out by ten o'clock, ray floor mopped, and have jime to rest before starting dinner. That much soap will do a large boilerful of white clothes. The secret of getting such good results is in put- ting the clothes on in cold water. The cold water loosens the dirt and it boils out. When I bring the clothes in from the line, I fold and put away many articles without ironing. Everyday towels, pillow slips, and all flat pieces I fold and run through the wringer and put away. Underwear if folded smoothly and pressed out with the hands looks as well as if ironed, and is sweeter and healthier. STORMYWEATHER HARD ON BABY The stormy, blustery weather which we have during February and March is extremely hard on children. Con- ditions make it necessary for the mother to keep them in the house. They are often confined to overheated, badly ventilated rooms and catch colds which rack their whole s;stem. To guard against this a box of Baby's Own Tablets should be kept in the house and an occasional dose given the baby to keep his stomach and bowels working -regularly. This will not fail to break up colds .and keep the health of the baby in good condi- tion till the brighter days come along. The Tablets are sold by medicine deal- ers or by mail at. 25 cents a box from The Dr, Williams' Medicine Co., Brocl.-ville, Ont. te— The Earth's Revolution.

NOW T TREAT, STO ,i{ rOUBL A Tonic Medicine is Needed to Build Up the Digestive Organs. The old-fashioned methods of treat. ing stomach diseases art being dis- carded. The trouble with the old- fashioned methods was that when the treatment was stopped the troubl'e,re- turned ler an aggravated form. Th© modern method of treating In- digestion and other forms of stomach trouble is to tone up the stomach and glands- to their normal work, Every step toward recovery is a step gained not to ..be lost again. The recovery of the appetite, the disappearance of pain after eating, the absence of gas, are steps on the road to health that those who have tried the tonic treat- ment remember distinctly. Dr. Wil- liams' illiams' Pink Pills are a tonic every constituent of which is helpful. in building up the digestive organs, and thereford the very best remedy for simple or chronic cases -of stomach trouble. The success of the treat- ment is best shown by hundreds of hases ',Ike the following. Mrs. Chas. Comer, Picton, Ont., says:—"For up- wards of two' years I was a great suf- ferer from indigestion, Food would ferment in my stomach, and I. would belch gas with a burning sensation. Often I would be troubled with nau- sea, sick headache and dizziness. Notwithstanding that I was under medical treatment the trouble grew so bad, that I would only eat when absolutely forced to, and I was in con- stant misery. I was finally advised to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and had only been using them a few weeks when I found they were help- ing me. I very gladly continued their use and the result is they have made me a well woman, every vestige of the trouble having disappeared. I am so grateful for what Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have done for me that I strongly advise any who may be suffering from stomach ttouble to give them a fair trial, and I believe that like myself they will find a sure cure." You can get Dr., Williams' Pink Pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail, post paid, at 50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- ville, Ont. - -•t, -- -- lie Scored, It was. his first public speech as an election candidate, and before he was half way through the trying ordeal he was presented with a turnip, which hit hint fairly and squarely in the head.

Health tANA04>Pieee) eeeeeeie,»eee .Floating Kidney, By the term floating kidney, or movable kidney, is meant a condition in which the tissues surrounding the kidneys no longer keep them both in their proper positions, which are be- hind the last ribs, one on each side of the spinal column. Usually one kidney only, and that the right, is thus affected, although both may be, especially in the distressing cases in which all or almost all the abdominal organs are involved in a general `'relaxed condition. Women are believed to suffer from floating kidney more often than men, and the trouble begins most common= ly in the third, fourth or fifth decade oi', life—say between the ages of twenty-five and forty-five years. The kidneys in health rest upon a bed of muscular tissue that rims down on each side of, and is attached to, the anterior surface of the spinal column, and they are held in place by masses of -soft fat, sheets of fibrous tissue and the arteries and veins that go in and come out from the con- cave side of the organs. They are also supported by the pressure of the large intestine in front. A kidney may be loosened from these not very sect/re supports by a jolt of any kind, such as a fall, a blow in.the back, or a severe cough. Tight laking used to be regarded as a fre- quent cause of floating kidney,' but since it has gone out of fashion it is not so much of a factor nowadays. Any wasting disease, such as tuber- culosis, that tends to absorb the bed of fat surrounding the kidney will make it more liable to be displaced. In many cases there are no distinc- tive symptoms of a floating kidney of moderate degree, or even of con- siidetable extent; in other eases very pronounced symptoms accompany a very slightly movable kidney. The usual symptoms are a persistent, dulls, aching pain in the back over the region of the kidney or over the region of the stomach, which some- times extends into the groin; but sometimes it is so sharp as to sug- gest renal colic. The severe pain may come in attacks accompanied by chills. and vomiting. The patient's diges- tion is usually very poor, and, con- stipation is liable to be troulelesome. The treatment of floating kidney is by pads or special corsets or belts. designed to keep the wandering organ in its place; but when these fail, as they often do, the surgeon must fasten the kidney to the muscular mass on. which it rests. Growing Cabbage for Profit. When growing cabbage for the market several things must be con- sidered in order to produce the crop to the best advantage and for a maxi- mum profit. In the first place, the land should be a sort of sandy loam which will warm up quickly. It should be well drained, rich in available plant food and should contain a good supply of humus. The land on which I raised cabbage and other garden truck last year was good, rich soil. I plowed the field early in the spring, and spread on 0.t six or eight loads of 'well -rotted man- ure to the acre. I worked this into the soil by disking and harrowing. Just before the last harrowing I ap- plied broadcast some 300 or 400 pounds of wood -ashes (unleached) and 150 pounds of fourteen per cent. acid phosphate to the acre, and fin- ished harrowing. Tho land was in good condition by the time I had my plants ready, and when spring was far enough advanc- ed to insure proper growing weather I set the cabbage plants in rows three feet apart, and twenty inches apart in the rows, puddling them in well. I have found that to secure the larg- est profits, the crop must be 'pushed in growth from setting time to matur- .ity, so after the plants were started nicely I applied 150 pounds of nitrate of soda to the acre, sprinkling it down both sides of the rows and working in, while in about a month I put on an additional 150- pounds, and this produced the heads. I kept the cab- bage thoroughly cultivated and free from weds, and conserved the mois- ture with a dust mulch. A few rows of the cabbage I left unfertilized with nitrate of soda so that 1 could tell the difference, if any, that the additional nitrogen made in yield, After harvesting and compiling my results I found the cabbage receiving the ashes and phosphorous produced a profit of $70.60, while the main part receiving all three elements pro- duced $95.80 .per acre,, The cabbage grown on 'the ground receiving the nitrate of soda produced large, solid heads. The heads produced on the other ground were good but not so large nor so firth, needing a trifle more trimming. There., are nearly 8,000 stiches in a pair :'f hand -sewn blots,
