ronto due children over-tin very One wise "mother of my acquaint- ance, who was quite famous for her goodâ€"tempered children, used to insist that occasionally each of the children should have a day in bed. She had the in far from the house bathing suits and dig shady creek bottom immensely. The child should drink plenty of water during hot weather. By all means avoid eating between meals. Ice cream and the popular betweenâ€" meal dainties may be given occasion- ally a-t meal time, but are harmful be- tween meals. Quite often during the hot weather my little lad of three has a bath be- fore dinner. Then after dinner I take 03 all clothing but underwear, or put on a thin nightgown and put him on the floor in the coolest room in the house for his nap. The Windows are all open, permitting a circulation of air. During extreme hot weather the little fellow has another bath before going to bed early in the evening. The warm bath is restful and induces sleep. The child is laying the foundation for good health In the preâ€"school years and must be watched carefully if the foundation is to be well laid. Of course, no child can grow properly un- less it has the proper food. However, food alone will not keep the child growing properly unless other funda- mentals are properly adhered to. There must be plenty of sleep in a quiet, well ventilated room. Care of the Growing Child in Summer. The age from two to six has been dasignated as the neglected age of childhood.

As regards musical form, Chopin was small-minded and shortsignhrted, his disability mainly arising from the Polish conception of tonality which debarred him from a large and free handling of the key sys~ tern upon which the bigger musical classics are founded. One sometimes reads that Chopin’s compositions are weak in respect of their form. In regard to this, a writer in an En"lish paper calls attention to the fact that although Chopin wrote no mass, no opera, no symphony, and not even a good sonata (according to the critics), he is yet ranked among the ten or twelve who have done most to increase the range and flexibility of musical expression. Rising from a perusal of Chopin’s piano music, com- posers on the grander scale have been enabled to make their own scores more finely eloquent. “Sakes alive, you don’t mean it! The poor little mite! You stop in to-night, and I’ll have a basket for you.” “You bet you will,” the doctor Not God! In gardens! when the eve is cool?

I’ve lived sixty- nine years, and I haven’t known it to fail yet.” Eleanor took his advice. She saw the basket packed with cookies, two tiny glasses of jeluly, a paper-doll sup- plement from a magazine, a pin- cushion in the shape of a slipper and a little package of silk scraps.

Such a weapon is being tested by the British military authorities. It works on the principle of centrifugal forceâ€"the same force that flings mud on to your back when you are cycling on a wet day, or causes giant flywheels in factories to burst suddenly into hun- dreds of fragments. Anything that is placed upon a revolving wheel is car- ried to its edge and then hurled off. The new gun consists of a metal basin in which are plaoed a quantity of round steel bullets. As the basin is whirled at enormous speed by a petrol motor the bullets are allowed to escape from an opening in the disc. Shutters are provided which prevent thp lml. in the morni comer. .
