Tear a piece of old newspaper into an ob- long shapeâ€"it may be any size, about 2x4 inches we will say. By folding this in the middle, it will make a little tent. Again, fold .in thirds, turn both ‘ends down for a table. The child can tear paper into trees, a ball. doll babies and many other simple shaves. Birds’ nests with eggs can be made with clay; also apples, oranges, cups and saucers and even animals may be attempted. In fact, clay has almost .endless possibilities as play material. a string. One of these halves forms the lower part of the cradle. The other he cuts in two, using one piece for the 'bop and remodeling the other into a ball for baby. With clay, a simple little cradle may be made. The child first rolls a piece into a ball, cuts it in half, with What else is there with which little children's bands can be kept occu- pied? First of all, sand. Just tum the children loose in a pile or box of sand with a spoon, a pail, a cup, or anything with which they can dig or shovel. I personally do not; like to have sand in the house, but if you have a suitable 'place for it, it need not make any trouble. An old kitchen table turned upside down with the legs cut short and put on the other side makes a good table for sand. Ai piece of burlap or demin placed under the table keeps the sand from beingl scattered over the house.

They are in the form of half-inch wooden balls. cubes and cylinders, in the six colors, and also in the natural unstained wood. A shoelace or b'odkin and cord is used for stringing them. I would suggest, to begin with, that the child strings balls only, and all in one color. After he has made a long string- of these ask if he would like to use two colors. He will prob- ably string them in irregular order at first, and if so it will be necessary to suggest alternating the colors, put- tlng‘on two of one color and one of another, and so on. In this way he will soon learn colors and numbers. .’ Little Folks’ Playthings. A worsted ball, if kept clean, makes a good plaything for a little baby. If it is suspended from his carriage or crib it will help him to learn to focus his eyes, and he will be amused by it (or a long time. When the child is a little older, let him sit on a quilt on the floor and play with several balls in the six colors, red, orange, yel- low, green, blue and violet. Each ball should have a worsted string of the same color attached to it. When the child is a little older still, play simple little games with him, such as rock-a- bye baby, pendulum of a clock, swing- ing the ball back and forth and up and down, and in other ways that will occur to every mother. Unconsciously the child will acquire a sense of form, color, motion and position by such games. Say to him, “See the pretty round ball," “See the pretty red paper,” and the child will delight to find and bring to you other things that are round like a hall, and red like the paper. A set of worsted balls in the six colors can be obtained from kindergarten supply houses. Long, slim Clothespins make excel- lent playthings for babies. They can be used as babies or soldiers, or to make fences, trees, log houses and many other interesting things. Play- things that can be taken apart and put together again are good to have; also blocks with which the child can build all kinds of objectsâ€"engines that he can push along the floor, balls to bounce and throw, doll carriages, washing sets, etc. Dolls with clothes that button and unubutfon and come off, may be used to teach the children how to dress and undress themselves.

Conditions in the beet-growing coun- tries- of Europe have materially changed since the close of the war. Previously. large holders of land de- voted much of the acreage to beets. The large estates in Russia, Poland. Hungary and in many parts of Ger- many have been in many cases broken up into small holdings, which will be used by their new owners for growing other crops.

In 191971he acreage was increased to 24,500, the yield averaged 9.80 tons per acre, and the price advanced to $10.85 per ton. A recent bulletin by the Department of Trade and Commerce on the sugar industry in Canada states that 204,017 ton-s of sugar beets was used in sugar manufacture In 1918. The cost of the beets at the works was $2,593,715, or $12.22 per ton. 2110 Turn fruit which has just ‘begun to ferment, into a saucepan, boil for several minutes with half a teaspoon- ful of soda, then add spices, sugar and a little vinegar, and boil again until it thickens.

The sight of a snake seems to terrify the rodents. sugge being devek Investigations as to the possibility of using the straw as a raw material in manufacture were undertaken some years ago by dltferent interests, but the same conclusion was reached in each case. The cost of transporting the straw to a central point was more than the trafldc would hear, the cost of manufacturing precluded competition in the open market, and, consequently, the use of the western straw under the transportation handicap was not a commercial proposition. This was es- pecially the case in the manufacture of strawbourd. In 1913, strawboard prices ranged from $25 to $26 per ton. There was little demand for this pro- duct in the west, and, at the above price, it could not compete in the east. One leading eastern paper industry, which, some years ago, carefully con- sidered the possibilities of establish- ing a strawboard mill in the west, re- cently stated that, under present con- ditions, with strawboard selling at $85 to $90 per ton, such a factory could Le made a profitable industry. which 1918 ( Burning straw-stacks are a familiar sight to the western traveller. At present there is seemingly no other method of disposing of this by-proâ€" duct of the grain harvest. The foraging habits of domestic poultry illustrate some of the dif- ferences observed in the manners of wild birds. Place 1: brood of ducks in a field and they will generally pursue one course, marching in a body over the field with great regularity. A brood of chickens, on the contrary. will scatter, occasionally reassembllng, but, never keeping close together, un- less they are following a. hen. Tur- keys scatter themselves less than chickens, but do not equal ducks in the regularity of their movements. Some species of the toragers do their work in compact assemblages. This habit renders the snow buntings extremely attractive, Their food is not distributed in separate morsels like that of roblns and woodpeckers. It consists of the seeds of grasses and of composite plants, which are often scattered very evenly over a Wide sur- face. When a flock of fifty or more settle down in a field each one fares as well as it he were alone, during the short time he remains on the spot. Besides these there are a few birds that take part of their food from trees and the rest from the ground, includ- ing thrushes, blackbirds and robins. Blackbirds seldom hold up their heads, but march along with their bills turned downward, as it entirely de- voted to their tasks. They never seem to be idle, except when a flock of them is making a garrulous noise upon a tree. It a blackbird looks up- ward it is only by a. sudden move« ment; he does not stop. After watch- ing a. blackbird and a robin ten min- utes in the same field, one would sup- pose that the blackbird had collected twice as much food as the robin dur- ing that time. But this would not be true. The robin is probably endowed with a greater reach of sight than the blackbird, and while hopping about with his head erect, his vision com~ prehends a wider space. The omni- vorous blackbird hunts the soil for everything n-that is nutritious, and picks up small seeds that require a close examination of the ground. Blackbirds of all species walk; they do not hop like the robins. Among the natural guardians of the trees are the woodpeckers. which gather their food as they creep found the trunks and branches. They have two toes before and two behind for climbing, and may usually be seen clin'giug erect on tree trunks, but rare- ly, if ever, with head downward like the nuthatches and titmice. As the food of the woodpecker is nearly as abundant in winter as in summer. they are seldom migratory. They never for- age in flocks, like some of the grani- vorous birds whose food is more plentiful, but scatter out over wide areas, and thus better their fare. They bear the same relation to other birds that take their food from trees as snipes and woodcocks bear to thrushes and quailsâ€"that is, they bore into the wood as the snipe bores into the earth, while thrus-hes and quails seek their sustenance on the surface of the ground. em f( Latent Value of Our Straw Stacks.

The treatment of a threatening- quinsy is undertaken with the hope of arresting the inflammation before the abscess begins to form. The patient should be put to bed, and he should take a. dose of salts or of castor oil at once. At the same time cold cloths, renewed frequently, or an ice bag should be applied externally over the region of the affected tonsil. Bi- carbonaye of soda, in doses of half a teaspoonful in a cup of hot water, should be taken four times in the day, and the same substance in powder may be applied directly to the (tonsil by means of a powder blower. If those measures fail and the abscess forms, it should be opened freely by the phy- sician so as to let out: the confined pus. In a well-developed attack of quinsy the throat .is greatly swollen and ex- tremely painful. The swelling some- times makes breathing difficult, and both the swelling and the pain inter- fere with swallowing and so prevent taking any nourishment or even water. Both the tonsil and all the sur- rounding parts and also the glands in the neck are swollen so that any movement of the head is painful. Spontaneous pain, as well as that in‘ duced by movement, exists; it is felt both inside and outside, and it radi- ates into the ear on the affected side. The swelling of the glands and other tissues induces stiffness of the jaw, which can only with difficulty be opened to take food, even if the condi- tion of the throat permits its being swallowed. The mouth is hot and dry, and the saliva is thick and sticky. It begins on one side. and, fortun- ately, it usually remains confined to that side, though occasionally as one tonsil begins to get well the other one becomes inflamed, and the whole mis- erable process must be gone through with again. â€"-is the most wide! used axle lub- ricant on the mar at.

Quinsy is the popular term for a severe form of inflammation of the tonsil and its surrounding tissues, ac- companied by the formation of pus. In other words, it is an abscess of the tonsil or beside it. It may begin as an ordinary sore throat or simple tonsillitis, in which the tonsil is seen to be red and swollen and dotted with little whitish points caused by the excretion oozing from the mouths of the ducts, or “crypts,” of the organ. The inflammation does not yield to simple remedies, but persists and grows more severe, until patient and physician alike are convinced that a quinsy is present. In other cases the disease beginsas it is going to con- tinue~a full-fledged and unmistak- able suppurative tonsillitis, or quinsy. ‘DDIDDBDDB DDDD§’ )))§)3 (QQQGCQQQQQQQQCIQGQQ Imperial Mica Axle Grease Health
