HANG UP YOUR BROOM.
When I get a new broom I soak the
straws up to the head in warm salt

dip in clear fresh water two or three
times to rinse. Then hang up to dry.
By hanging up I mean to hang with
the brush part down. My mother al-
ways used to, drill a hole through the
end of the broom handle and tie a
leather string'in it to hang it up by.

There seems to be just one way to
impress upon a child the desirability
of being•orderly, and that is by mak-
ing it just as easy -and pleasanter-,
to be orderly than to be otherwise.
"Just as easy to be orderly" necessi-
tates places for the children to keep
their possessions. Hooks low enough
for the children to 'reach with ease.

sembled in the morning. A line or
shelf near the stove or furnace regis-
ter where caps, mittens and overshoes
may be dried and warmed. A cup-
beard`for toys and other valuable pos-
sessions. These make it just' about as
easy to put things away as to drop
them most anywhere.
As for the pleasantness of being
orderly, that is easily worked out in
each family. "I don't like mother' .to

thing in a heap in the dark closet,"
