way earn some money? You poor
little motherless girl, it is hard, isn't
it? But ,lust think hot/ many wonder-
ful people in the world have struggled
for an education and how the discip-
line they got gave them the qualities
that really made then great. Could
you not have a talk with your minister
and enlist his sympathies?
Undeoided: Your question, "Shall I
go to work?" is one which at your
age almost every girl has pondered
and at last come to a decision one way
or the other. Just out of school, with
several fields open to her, it is not
easy for a girl to decide whether she:
will be a stay-at-home waiting for,
marriage, as perhaps her mother did
before her, or go out into the business
world and find something to do which
will bring her a livable salary and
make her independent of the home
support.
It used to be that a girl lost some-
thing of ]tett womanliness when she
went out into the world as a worker
and she did not enjoy the same ad-
miration and respect as the home girl.
But that day has gone, and the status
of the working girl to -day is equal to
that of any other girl, so far as she
makes it so by her manner of living.
The mere fact that she is employed
has nothing to do with her reputation.
A famous lawyer was once asked
what he thought about girls going 'out
to work, inelud.ing the girls of the
well-to-do as well as those daughters
who must support themselves, Without
hesitation the lawyer replied that if
every girl would go to work and de-
pend entirely upon the salary which
she earns, there would be less of crime
and of petty Lawsuits and fewer un-
happy marriages. This seems a strong
stat anent, but the lawyer prnt'1 iia

fully than if she had neeer werkei.
Tu every girl her first money looks
very big—impossible to spend because
she has always pulled upon the strings
of another pocketbook ai little at a
time and never realized how touch it
really amounted to. But when she
begins to spend her own money, she
is astounded that so much can go so
quickly; that the little things can eat
so heavily into the dollars. Depending
upon this money which comes from
labor it is not long before she appre-
ciates the value of a new hat, a pair of
silk stockings, a dress, and buys more
intelligently, for she knows that a
foolish purchase means the depriva-
tion of something really necessary.
All this tends to make the girl keener
of mind so that she is quite apt to be
able to advise and help her husband
l toward better things.
Whether she marries or not, a girl
needs the training she gets out in the
working world. There are stated
hours, stated tasks; unusual experienc-
es and the meeting with all types of
people which is an education in itself.
This is just as much a part of, her
education as the schooling she has
just received. It is a putting into
practice much that site learned in
theory. And theory without practice
atn.ounts to very little.

who have been glad to nurse their
babies may not have known that even
a breast-fed baby may be made ill if
he is overfed or nursed irregularly.
There is one more thing about coun-
try babies: They should certainly not
be denied plenty of fresh air. With
a very little thought and trouble the
babies in the country can Hem in the
open air nearly the year around.
Sleeping porches should be part of the
equipment o:f every 'entity home, and
properly protected porches afford a
paradise for the baby in every part
of the year.
The education of mothers. in the
care and feeding of their babies, and
in protecting them against illness
could be carried or in various ways

Exhibits and demonstrations on in-
fant welfare work at local meetings

space to give the people opportunity
to look at them, and hear the talks
which should go with them. Every
township should engage the services
of a trained nurse,
It should be a tnatter of pr'de with
every father and mother to be able
to show to the world as nearly perfect
a baby as their cars and. intelligence
can secure, The baby should be born
a normal,. happy, stealthy being, its
eareer should be marked by steady
growth in weight, stature, and in the
development of all its faculties;
The best manner of feeding, cloth-

Australia to Have Electric
Plant on Coal Fields.
The modern Method of building an
electric -generating plant directly over
a coal supply, and transmitting energy
instead of fuel to the point of consump-
tion, is to be eIllployed by the state of
Victoria, Australia, for supplying the
city of Melbourne. The field of brown
coal to bo used .immediately is at
Morwell, 80 miles. away', and is acces-
sible by open cutting. There is, it is
estimated, 20,000,000,000 tons in the
district, and between 120,000,000 and
100,000,000 tons In one square mile,
enough to generate 100,000 kw, for 150
yea's:

I1 was something Miss Field -raid to
her when she read her palm at a Hal-
lowe'en party. I decided that that
must be a new kind of palmistry, and
I went to Miss Field. Can you im-
agine what had happened? Aliss
Field said she never had told fortunes
before, and didn't want to do it. but
the girls insisted; and then it sud-
denly came to her that perhaps hero
was an opportunity to get some things
"across" to gels who would not listen
to anything serious,
" `I prayed over that fortune tell-
ing; she told me, `I never prayed
harder over anything in my life.
Those girls needed so terribly to be
made to see which things are real in
life and which are only sham: The
answer to her prayer was Pearl
Eisner,"
Julia said nothing, and after a min-
i ute the minister went on:
"You know 14liss Maggie Egan?"
Julia nodded,
"Have you ever been in her little
house? I can see by your t'inile you
have. Tell me, did it impress you in
any particular way?"
'Yes, it did," the girl replied. "It's
queer, but it felt—oh, I can't tell you
—so friendly. I've thought of it lots
of times, I couldn't understand what
made it feel so,"
"Perhaps you will understand when
I tell you that each morning Miss
Maggie gives the Lord her little house
to use as He will that day. Iter
guests—even delivery people—are I-Iis
guests to Maggie. Do you under-
stand?"
The 'girl had risen,
"You are too much for me with your
Maggie Egsns," she said, half whim-
sical; but wholly serious, "I can't .be
left ,behind. I'll have to try again."
Arranging the Farm Bnildiugs.
Until recent years it was thought
that anyone could be a farmer, and
parents have been heard to say, "Olt,
well, John won't take an education.
We'll have to make a farmer out, of
him,'
But the successful farmers of to-
day and the future are of a different
sort. They are energetic, ambitious
sten who choose the life in the 00011 -
try, not because it needs no prepar-
atory study, but, on the contrary, be-
cause it. means endless research work
--a profession that never ,becomes
stale, as there are always fresh dis-
coveries, new complications, and prob-
lems to keep one alert and keen on
the job.
And our :future farmer is not quite
satisfied with the knowledge gained
at most of the agricultural colleges.
